Company: Meridian Financial Services, Inc.
State: OH

Complaint narrative:
Subject : Formal Complaint Against MERIDIAN FINANCIAL SERVICES for Violations of Consumer Rights Dear Consumer Financial Protection Bureau, I am writing to formally file a complaint against MERIDIAN FINANCIAL SERVICES for multiple violations of my consumer rights under federal law. Below are the specific issues and corresponding legal references regarding MERIDIAN FINANCIAL SERVICES ' unlawful actions : 1. Failure to Provide Validation Information ( 12 CFR 1006.34 ( b ) ( 5 ) ) : MERIDIAN FINANCIAL SERVICES has placed a collection account on my consumer report without providing the necessary validation information as required by law. This failure to provide validation information impedes my ability to verify the legitimacy of the debt and constitutes a clear violation of my consumer rights.

2. Denial of Dispute Rights ( 12 CFR 1006.34 ( c ) ( 4 ) ( i ) I have not been given the opportunity to dispute the account, as mandated by 12 CFR 1006.34 ( c ) ( 4 ) ( i ). This lack of opportunity to dispute the account violates my right to challenge and verify any alleged debt.

3. False, Misleading, and Deceptive Practice : MERIDIAN FINANCIAL SERVICES has employed false, misleading, and deceptive means in their collection practices. They have misrepresented the status and validity of the alleged debt on my consumer report, which constitutes a violation of my consumer rights.

4. Unauthorized Furnishing of Account Information ( 12 CFR 1006.34 ( d ) and 15 USC 1681s-2 ( a ) ( 7 ) ( A ) ) ** : MERIDIAN FINANCIAL SERVICES has no authority to furnish any account information to consumer reporting agencies without providing all required disclosures by law. Their actions are in direct violation of 12 CFR 1006.34 ( d ) and 15 USC 1681s-2 ( a ) ( 7 ) ( A ).

Given these violations, I am formally disputing any and all debts claimed by MERIDIAN FINANCIAL SERVICES. Additionally, I am exercising my right to revoke all communication permissions, including email, text, and phone calls.

In my previous correspondence with MERIDIAN FINANCIAL SERVICES, I have requested the following without receiving any satisfactory response : 1. Debt validation.

2. The purchase agreement between MERIDIAN FINANCIAL SERVICES and the original creditor.

3. Proof that MERIDIAN FINANCIAL SERVICES is licensed and bonded.

I respectfully request that the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau take immediate action to investigate these violations and ensure that MERIDIAN FINANCIAL SERVICES complies with all applicable laws and regulations. Furthermore, I request proof of mail receipt for my records.

Thank you for your attention to this matter. Please contact me if you require any additional information. 

Sincerely, XXXX XXXX

Complaint narrative:
These accounts contain information that is both incomplete and inaccurate, thus violating my rights under the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ). Specifically, FCRA Section 611 ( a ) ( XXXX ) ( A ) stipulates that consumer reporting agencies must provide accurate and complete information in credit reports. Furthermore, FCRA Section 623 ( a ) ( 2 ) mandates that if a consumer disputes the completeness or accuracy of any information in their credit file, the consumer reporting agency must conduct a reasonable reinvestigation to determine whether the disputed information is inaccurate or incomplete. 

In addition to FCRA violations, I refer to specific consumer laws that reinforce the importance of accurate credit reporting. The Consumer Credit Reporting Reform Act of 1996 ( Public Law 104-208 ) and the Consumer Financial Protection Act of 2010 ( Public Law XXXX ) both underscore the necessity for accurate and fair credit reporting practices. These laws were established to protect consumers from inaccurate information impacting their creditworthiness. 

Furthermore, the Fair and Accurate Credit Transactions Act of 2003 ( FACTA ) amended the FCRA to include provisions for the accurate reporting of consumer information and the removal of inaccurate information from credit reports. Under FACTA Section 312, consumers have the right to dispute inaccurate information on their credit reports and have it corrected or removed.
