State: OK

Complaint narrative:
Despite my previous three written requests, the unverified items listed below still remain on my credit report in violation of Federal Law. In their responses to my dispute letters, they stated that they have verified the items listed as accurate but failed to send me copies of the documents used to verify these accounts, as per my request.

Their failure to provide these documents indicates that they can not and did not verify any of the disputed accounts as claimed. Furthermore, their failure to delete the disputed accounts that they can not verify after three written requests demonstrates a willful disregard of Federal Law.

Please review the attached letter. Thank you for your assistance.

Complaint narrative:
Despite multiple attempts, I have been unable to resolve the issue of fraudulent inquiries appearing on my consumer report. These inquiries are not associated with me in any way, and I bear no responsibility for them. Their presence has caused significant mental and financial distress. As a victim of identity theft, I have no alternative but to consider legal action if this matter is not appropriately addressed. These inaccurate and fraudulent items on my consumer report have hindered my ability to purchase my dream house and provide for my family 's needs. The impact on my financial well-being has been substantial. For your reference, I have attached a copy of the letter I previously sent to the Federal Trade Commission ( FTC ), which outlines this issue and seeks resolution.

Complaint narrative:
In response to CFPB complaint - XXXX - XXXX My name is XXXX XXXX, a federally protected consumer, and Iam making this complaint against XXXX XXXX XXXX for violating a cease and desist notice they received XXXX and for continuing to invade my individual privacy by committing abusive deceptive and unfair debt collection practices. 
I have attached a debt validation letter, a cease and desist notice. Exhibit A which is a copy of the reporting on my XXXX report, Exhibit B which is copy of their response to CFPB complaint - XXXX - XXXX and a pdf of an FTC report that will be labeled as exhibit C when filing for litigation in Federal Court to this complaint XXXX XXXX XXXX stated that they are a third party collection agency that was hired by T - Mobile to collect on a balance that pass due of {$520.00} for account ending XXXX. XXXX XXXX XXXXXXXX stated this account was placed and there office for collection on XX/XX/year> including the rights to collect on the account. But I never contracted with them and they have no reason to have my identifying information. Also pursuant 15 USC 1692g ( c ). I have not validated any alleged debt shall not be construed as an admission of liability, XXXX XXXX XXXX stated they mail out a notice debt on XX/XX/year> and that they have right to report to a consumer credit. I have not received any documentary evidence such as a trilateral contract, giving XXXX XXXX XXXX any right to collect on this alleged debt. It is my belief that XXXX XXXX XXXXXXXX are attempting unlawful extortionate activities and theft by deception by attempting to furnish false and deceptive forms. Because I never received any documentation requesting validation from Source Receivables Management, before they committed multiple violations under the FCRA and FDCPA by furnishing this alleged debt to my consumer report. If Source Receivables Management can not provide proof such as a tracking number that they attempted to lawfully validate this alleged debt with me, the consumer, prior to furnishing it on my consumer report, this has been a fraudulently furnished account with forethought and malice as an attempt to bring harm to me and ruining my financial reputation.

In the results of your first investigation and subsequent reinvestigation ( s ), you stated in writing that you verified that these accounts are being reported correctly? Who verified these accounts?

Complaint narrative:
I searched for houses in XXXX, XXXX, XXXX online, and several real estate agencies appeared selling bank foreclosures. I found one that I liked and requested information from the advisor, who began to give me details about how the purchase would work, including the steps I needed to follow : an initial payment of {$2500.00} on XX/XX/year>, a second payment of {$24000.00} on XX/XX/XXXX, and a final payment in four months. She sent me the contract, an identification of the owner of the company, and a document containing the companys commercial registration so I could see it wasnt a scam. I believed her completely ; she said the house was a bank foreclosure and couldnt be seen because it was still occupied, but that it would be delivered to me debt-free. After making the second payment, they have not contacted me again, and when I call, there is no response.
