Product: Debt collection — Rental debt
Issue: Attempts to collect debt not owed — Debt was paid
Company: Rowland Avenue Management, Inc. A/KA Columbia Debt Recovery, LLC d/b/a Genesis
State: TN

Complaint narrative:
In XX/XX/2025, I was contacted by Columbia Debt Recovery XXXX ( doing business as Genesis ) regarding a debt of {$100.00} allegedly owed to XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX for my residence at XXXX XXXX in XXXX, KY. I am a current resident at this property and was previously told by on-site management that this debt would be cleared internally and was the result of a billing error. 

Despite that assurance, the account was referred to Genesis for collection. To avoid potential damage to my credit, I paid the full amount of {$100.00} through Genesis 's payment portal. This payment was made under protest, as I had already paid all rental charges directly to the property in full and on time. 

My base rent during this period was {$580.00}, with additional monthly charges of {$35.00} for parking, {$5.00} for utility fees, and separate electricity charges. I have bank statements showing that these amounts were fully paid. The debt was referred in error and should never have been sent to collections. 

I have contacted both XXXX and Genesis requesting a refund and confirmation that no negative credit reporting occurred. As of this filing, the matter remains unresolved.

Company: Experian Information Solutions Inc.
State: RI

Complaint narrative:
On XX/XX/year>, and again on XX/XX/year>, XXXX hard inquiries were reported to my credit file by Experian. 

I did not apply for any credit, loan, or service that would justify these inquiries on either date. I did not authorize them, nor did I give permission to any creditor to access my credit report. 

These inquiries appear to be the result of identity theft or unauthorized access to my personal information. 

I have already submitted a report to the FTC via XXXX and contacted Experian to dispute these entries, but I have not received a resolution. 

These inquiries are negatively impacting my credit score, and I am requesting that the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau take action to ensure that Experian removes both fraudulent inquiries and updates my credit report accordingly. 

Thank you for your assistance in resolving this matter.

Complaint narrative:
Pursuant to 15 U.S. Code 1681s2 inaccurately reporting All the information I know about this purported late payment is included in the account name and number mentioned above. Because I know you reported this inaccuracy on my credit report, you must have all the information or proof you need to investigate and fix this reporting error. If this is not the case, you must amend the erroneous data reporting. 

As consumer I have right to know that this account is verified and reporting accurately. Mail me at my current address the WRITTEN NOTICE that this account is verified as prescribed by 15 U.S. Code 1692 g ( a ) ( 4 ). I want you to include the following information : 1. A detailed and itemized statement of ALL activity to this account, including the contract I must have allegedly signed to bind me to this debt.

Company: Experian Information Solutions Inc.
State: CA

Complaint narrative:
I am submitting a formal complaint against Experian for continuing to report multiple inaccurate and unverifiable items on my credit file, despite repeated disputes. These include : 1. Two Dismissed Bankruptcies : Filed in U.S. Bankruptcy XXXX, XXXX, CA Filing dates : XX/XX/XXXX and XX/XX/XXXX Both bankruptcies were dismissed, not discharged. 

Equifax and TransUnion have already removed both, but Experian continues to report them. 

The court does not furnish data directly to credit bureaus. 

* XXXX. XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX Charge-Off Account ( ending in XXXX ) : I have disputed this account multiple times. 

Experian continues to report it as a charge-off without providing the method of verification, in violation of FCRA 611 ( a ) ( 7 ).

This is a Metro 2 compliance issue, as the data appears inaccurate and unverifiable. 

* XXXX. XXXX XXXX Bank Charge-Off Account ( ending in XXXX ) : Same issue : reported as a charge-off with no verification. 

No proof of investigation has been provided, despite repeated disputes. 

Also violates FCRA and Metro 2 standards.

These ongoing issues are part of a larger pattern of misconduct. I reference the CFPBs 2023 lawsuit against Experian and other CRAs for sham investigations into consumer disputes. My experience appears to reflect the same behavior. 

I have attached a screenshot showing Experians continued reporting of the two dismissed bankruptcies as of [ insert todays date ]. 

I request the immediate deletion of all three inaccurate entries and a full investigation into Experians dispute handling practices.
