Complaint narrative:
I am utterly disappointed right now, you complete disregard your own stated timeline. In your memo dated, it's explicitly stated that the results of the investigation would be provided to me within 30 days. That deadline has come and gone without a single word from them regarding the status or findings. 

This lack of follow-through and blatant failure to uphold their commitment is unacceptable. You are the bureau and you have ample time to conduct your work and there is no justified reason for this excessive delay in sharing conclusions. In your memo built an expectation that I relied upon, and your inaction represents a breach of that assurance.

Company: The Law Offices of Mitchell D. Bluhm & Associates
State: FL

Complaint narrative:
I am writing to formally dispute a debt notice I received from MBA Law concerning a supposed debt with XXXX XXXX in the amount of {$420.00}. This letter was received without any prior knowledge or explanation of the services supposedly provided. I want to clarify that I did not receive any services from XXXX XXXX in 2022 or at any other time, and therefore, I do not owe any debt to them. 

Before receiving this letter, I was bombarded with numerous messages from MBA Law, which were repeated incessantly and caused me significant stress and anxiety. These messages were reported as potential scams multiple times, yet MBA Law continued to send them. This abusive practice not only violates my rights under the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act ( FDCPA ) but also constitutes harassment and undue stress. 

I ask for CFPB to notify MBA Law ordering they immediately cease all communications regarding this alleged debt. Furthermore, I request that MBA Law provide clear and documented evidence of this debt, including details of the supposed service provided and proof of my authorization for such services. I am prepared to take legal action if necessary to protect my rights and stop these abusive practices. 

I believe that this complaint I am filing with the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau ( CFPB ) regarding MBA Law 's actions is necessary to ensure that such abusive practices are stopped and that appropriate actions are taken against this company. 

Please acknowledge receipt of this dispute and request to MBA Law to confirm in writing that all collection activities regarding this alleged debt will cease immediately. 

Sincerely, XXXX
