Product: Debt collection — Rental debt
Issue: False statements or representation — Attempted to collect wrong amount
Company: Carter-Young, Inc.
State: NY

Complaint narrative:
I had to move out of my apartment earlier than expected due to a XXXX move. I gave the apartment complex the XXXX days notice required for military moves. I thoroughly cleaned the apartment before moving out but was surprised to see a lengthy statement of charges for items that were cleaned, damages that had not occurred and professional cleaning charges that were not in the contract. The charges were as frivolous as a {$15.00} charge for broken lightbulbs that had been recorded as broken at move in. The apartment complex called me and asked for an address, claiming they need to send a check with my full deposit to. However, they did not return my deposit and instead sent me a bill claiming that I owed them additional funds for the fraudulent charges. I know of other XXXX families who have had similar experiences with this apartment complex. I refuse to be coerced into paying. 

Separately, the apartment complex likely caused damages with excessively high heating and air conditioning bills : almost certainly due to the apartment not meeting building code for insulation. The management refuses to address these concerns.

Complaint narrative:
All debts on my record are over seven years old. They are hospital bills. I had insurance at the time. They keep calling and harassing me for multiple years. They keep getting sold off to a new debt collector that keeps changing dates on my credit score. I have never once indicated that was my debt. I have never acknowledged I was who they were calling for. For all I know these arent even hospital bills. I havent even been in that state ( XXXX  ) since 2017. There dates are incorrect. It is unfair for it to keep renewing when it has been on my report for too long without any proper documentation. I want justice!

Complaint narrative:
I want to stress that I did not give written permission for these specific transactions to be included in my consumer report. At no point did I authorize these entries, and their presence on my report is unwarranted. Consequently, I am formally requesting that these accounts be blocked and removed from my report immediately. 

It is important to clarify that this request is not due to any error or negligence on my part. There has been no oversight or misunderstanding on my end. Instead, this issue arises solely from the fact that I did not explicitly authorize the inclusion of these transactions in my report. I am diligent about maintaining the accuracy and privacy of my financial records, and these unauthorized entries compromise that integrity. 

I trust that you will handle this matter with the urgency and seriousness it deserves. Please confirm the removal of these transactions from my report as soon as possible. Thank you for your prompt attention to this issue.

Complaint narrative:
Dear LAUNCH SERVICING LLC Sir/Madam ; I am writing to formally dispute and request the removal of an alleged debt from my credit report, which I believe to be fraudulent. I have no knowledge of this account and have never entered into any contractual obligations with your company or the original creditor. 
The reporting inaccuracies concerning this account violate both FCRA and FDCPA regulations. To resolve this matter expeditiously, I require the following documentation : 1. Evidence of your authorization under 15 USC 1692 ( e ) and 15 USC 1692 ( f ) for handling this matter.

2. Legal basis for the collection of this debt.

3. Proof of your authorization to operate in my state.

4. Evidence of the alleged debt, including any contracts or agreements bearing my signature.

5. Complete account history, inclusive of all collection-related charges.

I am formally filing a complaint citing violations of my consumer rights under the FCRA and FDCPA. Pursuant to 15 U.S.C. 602 ( a ), I demand immediate cessation of all communication and collection activities related to this account. Furthermore, per 15 U.S.C. 604 ( a ) ( 2 ), no account can be furnished without my written instructions.

Your actions have infringed upon my rights under several sections of the FDCPA : * 1692d : Harassment or abuse in connection with debt collection.

* 1692e : Use of false, deceptive, or misleading representations.

* 1692g ( b ) : Failure to properly disclose my rights.

* 1692f : Use of unfair or unconscionable means to collect a debt.

State: NV

Complaint narrative:
According to the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ), 15 USC 1681, section 602 ( a ) emphasizes the importance of consumer reporting agencies acting responsibly with fairness, impartiality, and a respect for consumer privacy. XXXX, Equifax, and XXXX are consumer reporting agencies, and as a consumer, I have the right to ensure that my private information is protected. This right is reinforced by 15 USC 6801, which mandates that financial institutions respect the privacy of their customers and protect the confidentiality of their nonpublic personal information.

As per 15 USC 1681, section 604 ( a ) ( 2 ), consumer reporting agencies may only furnish a consumer report with the written consent of the consumer. I have not given Equifax, XXXX, XXXX, or any financial institution my written consent to share my information. Therefore, any consent previously given, whether verbal, non-verbal, written, implied, or otherwise, is hereby revoked. 

According to 15 USC 6802 ( b ) ( c ), financial institutions must inform consumers of their right to opt out of the disclosure of their nonpublic personal information to nonaffiliated third parties. I was not informed of this right by the information furnishers to credit agencies. Additionally, 15 USC 1681C ( a ) ( 5 ) states that no consumer reporting agency may include adverse information in a consumer report that is older than seven years, except for records of convictions of crimes. The adverse account being reported by Equifax and XXXX is without my permission and is against the law. 

Furthermore, 15 USC 1681s-2 ( A ) ( 1 ) ( A ) states that a person should not furnish information to a consumer reporting agency if they know or have reasonable cause to believe it is inaccurate. Also, 15 USC 1681e requires consumer reporting agencies to maintain procedures to prevent violations of section 1681c and to ensure that reports are furnished only for permissible purposes. XXXX, Equifax, and XXXX are failing to maintain these procedures. 

Lastly, under 12 CFR 1016.7, a consumer has the right to opt out at any time. I am exercising my right to opt out of the reporting services of XXXX, Equifax, and XXXX.
