Consumer complaint received 2025-08-07 00:00:00
Product: Debt collection — Other debt
Issue: Attempts to collect debt not owed — Debt was already discharged in bankruptcy and is no longer owed
Company: TekCollect Inc.
State: VA

Complaint narrative:
I am disputing a collection that TekCollect placed on my credit report for an alleged debt related to XXXX. This collection is inaccurate and unjust. 

XXXX failed to deliver the dental alignment services I signed up for. I never received treatment, aligners, or fulfillment of their service agreement. Despite this, TekCollect submitted a collection account without confirming that the underlying service was ever provided.

Worse, TekCollect never contacted me by phone, email, or mail prior to reporting the collection to the credit bureaus. I was completely unaware of this account until it appeared as a derogatory item on my credit report, causing a XXXX drop despite having never missed a payment in my credit history.


I requested proper debt validation from TekCollect. To date, I have received no documentation proving I owe this debt, nor have they provided any evidence that they are legally authorized to collect it. This violates my rights under the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act ( FDCPA ). I am requesting the CFPB to : Require TekCollect to delete the collection from all credit bureaus ( XXXX, XXXX, and XXXX  ), and Cease all collection efforts unless full, legal validation is provided.

I have attached supporting documentation, including my dispute letter, XXXX records, and credit report screenshots.

Complaint narrative:
I have submitted multiple formal dispute letters to Experian Information Solutions Inc. regarding inaccurate and unverifiable information on my credit report ( see attached copies ). Despite clear legal notice, Experian Information Solutions Inc. continues to willfully report inaccurate data in violation of FCRA 15 U.S.C. 1681e ( b ), 1681i, and FDCPA 1692e and 1692f. I have exhausted all attempts to resolve this matter directly with the credit bureau. I now request the CFPB to investigate and enforce compliance.

Issue: Incorrect information on your report — Public record information inaccurate
Company: TRANSUNION INTERMEDIATE HOLDINGS, INC.
State: NV

Complaint narrative:
I am writing to formally dispute the recent response provided in regard to my complaint filed with the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau ( CFPB ) concerning the inaccurate reporting of a bankruptcy on my credit file. I have serious concerns about the validity of credit bureaus verification process and the credibility of the information allegedly used to substantiate this reporting. The CFPB response states that the disputed public record, labeled as " Federal - XXXX AS XXXX, '' has been reviewed and verified. However, I have obtained clear, written confirmation from the relevant court Bankruptcy - XXXX that they do not report or furnish bankruptcy proceedings information to credit reporting agencies. This official statement from the court raises serious questions about who, in fact, provided the information used in your " verification '' process. Furthermore, I contacted XXXX, a known third-party data provider, and they confirmed that they have no record of the bankruptcy account in question. This evidence contradicts any claim that the information was verified as reported. Given that : 1. 2. The court itself has stated it does not report information to credit bureaus. XXXX, a potential data source, has confirmed no record of the account. It is clear that TransUnion lacks a reliable and valid source to justify the continued reporting of this bankruptcy on my credit file. This failure in the verification process constitutes a direct violation of the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ) under Section 611, which requires that consumer reporting agencies conduct a reasonable investigation to ensure the accuracy of information included in consumer files.

Complaint narrative:
I am writing to dispute fraudulent information that appears on my credit report pursuant to 15 U.S.C. 1681c-2, and to formally request that this information be blocked or removed. I am including a copy of my identity theft report issued by the Federal Trade Commission ( FTC ) XXXX as supporting evidence for my claim. 
According to 15 U.S.C. 1681c-2, when a consumer submits an identity theft report, credit reporting agencies are required to block or delete any information identified by the consumer as resulting from identity theft within four ( 4 ) business days.

The following information on my credit report is the result of identity theft and must be blocked : XXXX XXXX - XX/XX/year> XXXXXXXX XXXX  - XX/XX/year> As outlined in 15 U.S.C. 1681c-2, I am formally requesting that this fraudulent information be blocked or removed immediately from my credit report. This information should remain blocked for a period of one year, after which I may request an extension. During this time, no fraudulent data should continue to appear in my file.

I have contacted the credit bureau reporting these fraudulent accounts multiple times, and they have failed to provide me with an effective resolution. This situation is severely affecting me and feels like a never-ending cycle. I do not understand how these accounts can still be reported as mine when I have already proven otherwise.

Please help me by removing these accounts immediately. I am including my FTC report again, hoping that you will make a better and fairer decision in my case. Thank you for your attention.
