Complaint narrative:
I am writing to formally dispute an item appearing on my credit report in connection with your company, referenced under Dispute Number XXXX. According to my records, this account is either inaccurately reported or should no longer appear on my credit profile.

If this account was sent to collections in error or has been resolved, I request that it be updated to reflect paid, resolved, or removed entirely, depending on the circumstances.

Complaint narrative:
The glaring absence of concrete evidence to support its reliability, combined with the dissemination of unverified information, represents a clear violation of the statutory requirements outlined in 15 USC 1681i ( 7 ). This lack of compliance is not only troubling but also deeply frustrating, given the critical importance of adhering to legal obligations. 

Therefore, I strongly advocate for the immediate removal of this account in accordance with the specified regulations, unless verifiable evidence is promptly provided to establish its authenticity. Any delay in addressing this issue exacerbates the frustration caused by the apparent disregard for regulatory protocols and the legal standards that ensure fairness and accuracy.

Company: Early Warning Services, LLC

Complaint narrative:
We had requested a house tour on the address XXXX XXXX XXXX, XXXX XXXX Nevada. We saw the post on the website XXXX. We saw that the house tour is under invitation home. It was XX/XX/year> XXXX when we did the house tour. We were amazed with the house. It was a XXXX XXXX house and the rent is only XXXX. We were not thinking that we were just talking to a scammer that time, because we were able to do a successful house tour. The person said he is XXXX XXXX and he was the owner of the house so he assures us that we will get approved if we apply. Without any doubt, on that day, we paid the application fee thru zelle. Because we were thinking that he is a private owner, so it is fine to pay him thru zelle. Then he told us that he will get back to us by the next day since his lawyer needs to work on the paper works. So by the next day, he sent us the approval letter and after gave us a call saying that we can now do a security deposit amounting {$1600.00} for him to take the property out from the market place. I told him that we need to see contract or lease of agreement before we send the money. We never noticed it was a scam because he never tries to hurry us up. He did every conversation in a calm way. After receiving XXXX reading the contract, he then asked us if we can do the deposit. Again, he gave us an email address where we can sent the security deposit. Without any second thought, we sent the amount under the name XXXX XXXX in zelle. After sending, it was when I had a feeling that something is not right. I went through the invitation home website and read every detail they have. I saw that the property is posted in different amount. and the way I had the transaction with XXXX XXXX is not the way the invitation home did. I tried to call my bank, XXXX XXXX and asked if their are still any chance I could dispute the money. I called my bank XX/XX/year> and reported everything that had happened. But when I called back to my bank today XX/XX/year>, they said it is not possible anymore and the case was denied. This is so disappointing and frustrating on our part. We want to ask for help to have our money back. I have attached screen shoots and other information about the details I have mentioned above.

Complaint narrative:
XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXXXX/XX/year> SYNCB/CARECR Re : Dispute of Incorrect Credit Reporting and Notice of Securitization : Dear SYNCB/CARECR, I am writing to formally dispute and address the incorrect reporting of the above-referenced account to the credit bureaus. According to my records, this account was charged off ; however, I have noticed that a balance continues to be reported as due, which constitutes a violation of applicable laws, including recent case law in the United States. 

Under federal and state fair credit reporting laws, any reporting of a charged-off account that still shows a balance due is inaccurate and misleading. Specifically, the misreporting of this account adversely impacts my credit score unjustly, and I contend that the continued reporting of an outstanding balance after a charge-off constitutes a violation of the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ) and relevant case law, such as the XXXXXXXX XXXX XXXX rulings affirming the importance of truthful and complete credit reporting. 
Furthermore, I wish to bring to your attention the securitization of debts, which complicates the traditional ownership and reporting processes. If this account has been securitized or transferred through third parties, proper documentation must be provided to establish your authority to report this debt. Any failure to do so violates my rights and the accuracy standards mandated by the FCRA. 


Sincerely, XXXX XXXX

Complaint narrative:
This CFPB complaint is submitted to request, pursuant to FCRA 605B ( 15 U.S.C. 1681c-2 ), that you, XXXX, block from my consumer credit report any information resulting from identity theft and fraud within four business days of receiving this complaint.

The disputed information includes multiple unauthorized accounts, collection entries, and hard inquiries that I did not initiate or authorize. These entries are inaccurate and fraudulent, and they now appear on my consumer credit report maintained by your agency. 

I do not recognize any of these accounts, collections, or inquiries. They were not opened, made, or initiated by me and are solely the result of identity theft. For verification, I have attached a copy of my FTC Identity Theft Affidavit along with supporting documentation, including a copy of my credit report and a list of the disputed inquiries.
