Complaint narrative:
The conspicuous lack of concrete evidence substantiating its reliability, coupled with the circulation of unverified information, constitutes a flagrant violation of the statutory provisions outlined in 15 USC 1681i ( 7 ). Such regulatory non-compliance is not merely disconcerting but also vexing, considering the paramount importance of adherence to legal mandates. Consequently, I emphatically endorse the prompt deletion of this account in alignment with the stipulated regulations, unless credible evidence is promptly furnished to affirm its authenticity. The failure to promptly rectify this matter further compounds the exasperation stemming from the disregard for legal protocols.

Product: Debt collection — Rental debt
Issue: Attempts to collect debt not owed — Debt was paid
Company: National Credit Systems,Inc.
State: OH

Complaint narrative:
On XX/XX/24, I contacted National Credit Systems via phone to resolve my debt. I was emailed my account information to be able to do it from their site. 
My account number given to me was XXXX. 

I proceeded to use my XXXX checking account to pay for the debt with an added convenience fee charge making the total payment {$100.00}. 

I paid it via ACH and again using my XXXX  accounting debit card as I was trying to quickly resolve the debt to be approved for a new apartment. 
Several communications took place between XXXX XXXX and I and also my new rental property manager spoke with her a few times. 

I was given a receipt both times confirming the payments. 
I have yet to receive a letter of satisfaction even though I proved the payments had been settled on my chime account. 

They failed to correct my credit report so I disputed it with the credit bureaus via credit karma. XXXX and XXXX deleted the debt from my report but XXXX still hasnt. 
I submitted a new dispute in XXXX of this year and I was given a letter stating they would not be removing the debt and it is still valid despite my multiple supporting documents. 
I have since filed another dispute and waiting to hear back. 
In XXXX I also directly contacted XXXX XXXX and copied XXXX since it hasnt been resolved.

I have been disputing this account for years.

And they continue to report a collections debt of {$98.00}.

Im frustrated at the whole ordeal and wish to have it resolved immediately and possibly seek legal action against them for their violations against me.

Complaint narrative:
I wish to underscore that the inclusion of inaccurately reported late payment remarks on my accounts not only raises significant concerns but also represents a blatant violation of the regulations delineated in the 15 USC 1666. This statute, an integral component of the Fair Credit Billing Act, specifically aims to safeguard consumers against unjust billing practices and mandates the accurate reporting of payment histories. Each payment associated with these accounts has been diligently and promptly rendered within the specified timeframes. Therefore, any deviation from this precise reporting not only undermines my financial integrity but also contravenes the legal protections enshrined within this statute. It is imperative to promptly rectify this situation to ensure compliance with the law and uphold the rights of consumers.

Company: BANK OF AMERICA, NATIONAL ASSOCIATION
State: TX

Complaint narrative:
To whom it may concern, I am writing to file a formal complaint against Bank of America regarding an account that has been fraudulently opened in my name, XXXX XXXX XXXX and XXXX XXXX, which is in result of identity theft. The fraudulent account is as follows : Bank of America account number appearing as " XXXX '' for {$520.00} I have attached a notarized copy of the Federal Trade Commission ( FTC ) Identity Theft Affidavit, as well as a police report documenting the identity theft incident. I also have attached my government issued ID and a utility bill for proof of identity and address. As a resident of Texas, I am aware that aggressive consumer laws are in place to protect victims of identity theft. Texas state law, under the Texas Finance Code 20.02, provides consumers with strong protections against creditors and requires swift action to rectify fraudulent accounts. 

Despite my efforts to resolve this matter directly with Bank of America, the fraudulent account have not been adequately addressed. Therefore, I am filing this complaint with the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau to request your intervention in resolving this issue. 

I request that Bank of America conduct a thorough investigation into the fraudulent account and take immediate action to remove this from my credit profile. Additionally, I request that Bank of America provide me with written documentation of the results of their investigation and any actions taken to rectify the situation. 

I appreciate your attention to this matter and look forward to a prompt resolution. 

Sincerely, XXXX XXXX
