Company: Experian Information Solutions Inc.
State: GA

Complaint narrative:
This letter serves as a formal dispute pursuant to the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ), Regulation V, and the Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act ( GLBA ). I have reviewed my Experian consumer file and identified the following inaccurate, obsolete, and/or unverifiable information being reported. 
Accounts in Dispute : 1. XXXX Account # XXXXXXXX XXXX This account is reporting inconsistently across bureaus. XXXX  marks it Negative, while your file lists it Positive, showing internal data mismatch and a breach of FCRA 607 ( b ).

No proof of delinquency, charge-off, or default exists. Reporting contradictory data constitutes an accuracy and data-integrity violation under FCRA 623 ( a ) ( 1 ) ( A ) and 12 C.F.R. 1022.42 ( a ).

I demand full verification supported by original account ledgers and posting records or deletion per 611 ( a ) ( 5 ) ( A ).

2. Federal Public Record ( 2016 ) Bankruptcy Record Discharge occurred more than seven ( 7 ) years ago. Continued reporting exceeds the permissible time frame under FCRA 605 ( a ) and ( c ).

Delete this obsolete record immediately. 
Unverified Inquiries : XXXX ( XX/XX/XXXX ) XXXX  ( XX/XX/XXXX ) DEPT OF ED ( XX/XX/XXXX ) XXXX  ( XX/XX/XXXX ) None of these inquiries were authorized by me. There is no permissible purpose under 604 ( a ) ( 3 ), making each a violation of 607 ( a ) and 623 ( a ) ( 1 ) ( A ). Their continued publication represents negligent or willful noncompliance.

Furthermore, under GLBA 501 ( b ) and the FTC Safeguards Rule, the exposure of my credit data to multiple third-party inquirers without consent suggests a data-security breach and lack of reasonable policies to protect consumer information.

Company: BANK OF AMERICA, NATIONAL ASSOCIATION

Complaint narrative:
Dear CFPB, BANK OF AMERICA XXXX Acct # XXXXXXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX  {$500.00}? Over the weekend I pulled my credit report, and I noticed a collection that I never had any knowledge of, I am filling a complaint regarding a debt collection account that appears on my credit report without my knowledge or consent. I have no relationship with the company reporting this debt and was never notified or contracted with the original creditor. I dispute the validity of the alleged debt and formally request an investigation. Under my rights granted by the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act ( 15 U.S.C. 1692g ( b ) ) and the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( 15 U.S.C. 1681 et seq. ), I have demanded full validation of the debt, including : - [ x ] Original Credit Agreement proves the contract I signed - [ x ] Full Itemized Statement shows how the balance was calculated - [ x ] Forward Flow Agreement proves debt was legitimately transferred to collector - [ x ] Chain of Title / Assignment Documents shows proper legal transfer of debt ownership - [ x ] Payment History Records verifies payments made or missed - [ x ] Validation Notice per FDCPA 15 USC 1692g proof they sent me proper notice - [ x ] Notice of Default or Intent to Collect proof of communication as required by law - [ x ] Proof of Statute of Limitations confirms the debt is still legally collectible - [ x ] Credit Reporting Agreement agreement allowing them to report to bureaus - [ x ] Documentation of Dispute Investigations proof they investigated my previous dispute under FCRA 15 USC 1681i If these can not be provided, the debt is unverifiable and must be deleted. Continuing to report an unverified, disputed debt violates FCRA 1681e ( b ), 1681s-2 ( b ) and may result in liability under FCRA 1681n and FDCPA 1692k. Furthermore, I submitted a cease and desist notice under FDCPA 805 ( c ) / 15 U.S. Code 1692c ( c ). Any continued contact without proper validation is considered harassment and a violation of federal law.

Issue: Took or threatened to take negative or legal action — Threatened to sue you for very old debt
Company: ENCORE CAPITAL GROUP INC.
State: CA

Complaint narrative:
I am filing this complaint against Midland Credit Management ( MCM ) for multiple violations of the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act ( FDCPA ) and the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ).

1. Failure to Provide Debt Validation On XX/XX/XXXX, I sent Midland Credit Management a formal Debt Validation Request under 15 U.S.C. 1692g ( b ), requesting : The original signed contract or agreement establishing the debt, Itemized statements showing how the balance was calculated, Proof of ownership or assignment of the debt from the original creditor ( XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXXXXXX. ), and Verification that they had the legal right to collect or report the alleged debt. 


Midland never provided any of these documents directly to me, nor did they acknowledge my lawful request. Instead, they continued collection activity in violation of the FDCPA. 
2. Continued Collection Activity Without Validation Despite my pending validation request, Midland : Reported and updated the disputed accounts with XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX, damaging my credit ; and Sent me a Pre-Legal Notification letter dated XX/XX/XXXX, threatening possible attorney involvement and legal action.

This conduct violates 15 U.S.C. 1692g ( b ), which explicitly prohibits further collection activity until validation has been provided.

3. Manipulation and Backdating of Online Documents After I filed a dispute with the credit bureaus and complaints with the CFPB, I noticed on Midlands online portal that a so-called Validation Letter appeared dated XX/XX/XXXX but it was not present or accessible when I first attempted to download it months earlier. 
This sudden appearance of a previously missing document raises serious concerns of backdating or post hoc document manipulation, which constitutes deceptive and misleading practices under 15 U.S.C. 1692e.

4. False and Incomplete Credit Reporting Midland reported and updated the alleged debt with credit bureau companies, but without providing proof of the debt, violating the FCRA ( 15 U.S.C. 1681s-2 ( b ) ), which requires furnishers to accurately and completely verify any disputed information before continuing to report.

5. Retaliatory or Intimidation-Based Practices By sending a Pre-Legal Notice after my lawful dispute and failing to honor my validation request, Midland has engaged in intimidation tactics intended to pressure payment rather than comply with federal consumer protection laws.
