Company: EQUIFAX, INC.
State: CA

Complaint narrative:
This letter is to formally advise you that I believe your company has violated several of my consumer rights. Specifically, you failed to validate a debt at my request, which is a FDCPA violation and you continued to report a disputed debt to the Credit Bureaus : another FCRA violation. Not only have you ignored my prior requests for validation of debt but you continue to report this debt to the credit bureaus causing damage to my character. This letter will again request that you follow the FDCPA and please provide the following validation of debt request : -Proof of your right to own/collect this alleged debt -Balance claimed including all fees, interest and penalties -Contract bearing my personal signature As you may be aware, " Estoppel by Silence '' legally means that you had a duty to speak but failed to do so therefore, that must mean you agree with me that this debt is false. I will use the Estoppel in my defense. I expect to receive the proof requested above within 15 days of this letter. 
Should you again ignore my request for validation of debt I reserve the right to sue your company for violations of my consumer rights as specified under both the FDCPA and the FCRA. I may also seek damages from you if warranted.

Complaint narrative:
I have my mortgage payments set on auto pay with my lender. BSI by weekly from there. The mortgage payments is put into a file type. That does not report the payments for some reason. I paid my mortgage XXXX the full payment and half of the XXXX payment BSI the lender reported my mortgage as not paid when in fact, my mortgage was paid for 2 months. And I have statements from my bank account where I paid the full XXXX dollar. I called BSI spoke with a lady by the name of XXXX. And she confirmed that they did have my payments on file for XXXX and half of XXXX. And the other half of XXXX will be taken out on XX/XX/XXXX. She didn't confirm that their system reports late payments if the payment is not paid. However, again they had my payments which was withdrawn from my XXXX XXXX account and XXXX confirmed it on XX/XX/2023 Then she stated she was going to call the billing department so that they can release my payments Again, I said that to say this BSI is withholding my payments and their consumer payments. Then reporting default and delinquent payments to credit bureau 's. Which is false information because indeed they have these payments. They're holding the payments so that they can XXXX their consumers. And I have documents.

Company: WELLS FARGO & COMPANY

Complaint narrative:
I am writing to dispute the validity of an account that you have been attempting to collect on my behalf, which I believe are time-barred under the New York State statute of limitations for debt collection. The account in question is : Wells Fargo Card Service As per my understanding of the New York State statute of limitations for debt collection, which is three years, the aforementioned accounts have exceeded the applicable time frame for legal collection actions. Therefore, I am requesting that you immediately cease all collection activities related to these accounts and remove any negative reporting from my credit files. 

Please note that I am aware of my rights under the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act ( FDCPA ) and the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ). Pursuant to the FDCPA, it is illegal to engage in any deceptive, unfair, or abusive practices in the collection of debts. Furthermore, the FCRA mandates that the information reported to credit bureaus must be accurate, complete, and verifiable. 

I kindly request that you take the following actions : 1. Cease all collection activities, including phone calls, letters, and any other form of communication, regarding the above-mentioned accounts.

2. Remove any negative reporting associated with these accounts from my credit files with all three major credit bureaus : XXXX, XXXX, and XXXX. 
3. Provide written confirmation within 30 days of receiving this letter that you have ceased all collection activities and that you will no longer report these accounts to any credit reporting agencies.

Failure to comply with this request may result in legal action being taken against your agency for violation of the FDCPA and the FCRA. Please be advised that I am prepared to pursue all available legal remedies to protect my rights. 

I expect your prompt attention to this matter. Please consider this letter as a formal dispute and a request for validation of the accounts in question. I request that all future communication regarding these accounts be conducted in writing and sent to the address listed above. 

Thank you for your immediate attention to this matter. 

Sincerely, XXXX XXXX
