Product: Credit reporting or other personal consumer reports — Credit reporting
Issue: Improper use of your report — Reporting company used your report improperly
Company: Experian Information Solutions Inc.
State: TX

Complaint narrative:
This CFPB complaint has been filed to request pursuant to FCRA 605B ( 15 U.S.C. 1681c-2 ) that you -- credit reporting agency, block information appearing on my consumer credit report that is the result of identity theft and fraud within 4 business days of you receiving this complaint. I am concerned about the validity and accuracy of your recent investigation of these accounts that are reporting on my credit report. Last month I requested an investigation because I felt the item was not being reported legally. Couple of days ago I received a letter stating that you have ceased investigation of my credit reports because, in your opinion, you believe that I have used a third party credit repair agency. Not only do I believe this to be a stall tactic on your part to grant you an additional 30 days to comply with my original request, but I believe it to be a blatant violation of the FCRA. 

I have attached a copy of my government issued ID as well as mail showing proof of address. So, there shouldnt be any confusion or stall tactics on your end. I have maintained a careful record of my communications with you for the purpose of filing a complaint with the FTC should you continue in your non-compliance.

Complaint narrative:
The Fair Credit Reporting Act ( 15 U.S. Code 1681 ) says ( 1 ) The banking system is dependent upon fair and accurate credit reporting. Inaccurate credit reports directly impair the efficiency of the banking system, and unfair credit reporting methods undermine the public confidence which is essential to the continued functioning of the banking system. So whenever there is a violation under the FCRA, it impairs the efficiency of the banking system. This is a violation of TILA US Code 1666B since I was never late. " I recently reviewed my consumer report and noticed an incorrect late payment record. I have always maintained timely payments on this account. Under the Fair Credit Billing Act ( FCBA ) and the Truth in Lending Act ( TILA ), creditors are required to accurately report consumer transactions and provide a mechanism for correcting errors in a timely manner. Please conduct an investigation into this matter, and if you can not provide documentary evidence of these supposed late payments, I demand these payments to be updated to on time as they should be as I was NEVER late. I expect these updates to be made promptly, in compliance with the law.

Company: CAPITAL ONE FINANCIAL CORPORATION
State: SC

Complaint narrative:
I recently received a Summons and Complaint in the Court of Common Pleas, XXXX XXXX, South Carolina ( Case No. pending ), filed by Capital One, XXXX. and their attorneys, XXXX XXXX XXXX, XXXX. 

This lawsuit is the first notice I have ever received regarding this alleged debt. Prior to being served with the lawsuit, I did not receive : Any written communication from Capital One or their attorneys about the alleged account, Any validation notice as required under the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act ( FDCPA ), Any opportunity to request verification of the debt. 

This lack of communication has denied me the chance to dispute the debt or request proof before being subjected to a lawsuit. 

I am requesting that Capital One and/or their representatives : Provide validation and documentation of the debt as required by law, including : A copy of the signed account agreement, A full account history with charges, payments, and credits, Documentation showing Capital One still owns the account and has standing to sue. 

Correct their communication practices so that consumers are properly notified in writing before a lawsuit is filed. 

I want written proof of the alleged debt before being forced to respond in court.

Complaint narrative:
XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX, NC, XXXX XX/XX/year> XXXX  XXXX XXXX  XXXX XXXX, TX XXXX Re : Dispute of Collection Account Helvey & Associates XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX Dear XXXX, I am formally disputing the accuracy and validity of a collection account appearing on my credit report from Helvey & Associates, regarding an alleged debt with the original creditor XXXX XXXX XXXX. The account number/reference number is XXXX. 

As permitted under the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act ( FDCPA ), I submitted a written request for debt validation directly to Helvey & Associates. They have denied my request and failed to provide any validation of this alleged debt, including a copy of the original signed contract and the assignment agreement proving their legal right to collect on this account. 

Because the debt collector has not provided proper validation as required by law, this account remains unverified. Under the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ), XXXX  may not continue to report unverified or inaccurate information. 

Accordingly, I am requesting that XXXX  remove this account immediately from my credit report. If Helvey & Associates can not validate the debt with the required documentation, the account can not legally remain on file. 

Please conduct your investigation and provide me with written confirmation of the results. 

Sincerely, XXXX XXXX
