Complaint narrative:
Accounts on my consumer report have been linked to identity theft, and I never provided written authorization, including a wet signature, for their inclusion. I recently communicated with your organization about this matter, and I am formally requesting the prompt blocking and removal of these accounts from my report. Their presence has caused significant emotional and financial distress, as they inaccurately represent my credit history and responsibilities. If this issue is not appropriately addressed, I am prepared to take legal action to protect my rights and seek resolution. These fraudulent items on my credit record have hindered my ability to achieve important financial goals, such as purchasing a home and meeting the needs of my family.

Complaint narrative:
CFPB Complaint Immediate Removal of Fraudulent XXXX XXXX Charge-Off To : Consumer Financial Protection Bureau ( CFPB ) Subject : Unlawful Reporting of Fraudulent Charge-Off Immediate Removal Required Issue Summary : I am filing a formal dispute against Equifax for failing to remove an incorrect charge-off reported by XXXX XXXX ( XXXX ). This account includes fraudulent charges, and its charge-off status is invalid under federal law. 
Details of Disputed Account : Creditor Name : XXXX XXXX Account Number ( Last 4 Digits ) : [ XXXX ] Status Reported : Charge-Off / Derogatory Collection Amount Reported : {$1000.00} Date Reported : XX/XX/XXXX Date Closed : XX/XX/XXXX Credit Bureau Involved : Equifax Legal Basis for Immediate Deletion : 1. Fraudulent Transactions Nullify the Charge-Off ( 15 U.S.C. 1666 Fair Credit Billing Act ) This account contains fraudulent transactions that were disputed with XXXX XXXX. 
Under the **Fair Credit Billing Act ( 15 U.S.C . 1666 ), I am not legally responsible for unauthorized charges.

Because the reported balance was not valid, the charge-off itself is also invalid and must be removed immediately from my credit report. 
2. Equifax is Violating the FCRA by Reporting Inaccurate Information ( 15 U.S.C. 1681s-2 ( a ) ) Under the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ), credit bureaus can not report information that is inaccurate or unverifiable.

Since the charge-off is based on fraudulent charges, it is legally inaccurate and must be deleted from my file immediately. 
3. If Equifax Can not Verify the Charge-Off, It Must Be Removed ( 15 U.S.C. 1681i ( a ) ( 5 ) ( A ) ) The FCRA requires credit bureaus to remove any item that is incorrect or can not be verified.

If XXXX XXXX can not provide proof that this charge-off is valid, Equifax is legally required to delete it. 
4. Federal Law Requires Immediate Deletion of Invalid Charge-Offs ( 15 U.S.C. 1681c ( a ) ( 5 ) ) A charge-off based on fraudulent activity is considered inaccurate reporting and must be removed immediately from my credit report.

Company: Financial Asset Management Systems Inc
State: MA

Complaint narrative:
This company has been spamming me and harassing me by calling my cell phone and leaving no messages. It was only after researching the number that I became aware that all of the calls are coming from the same company Financial Asset Management Systems. 

The calls were received as follows : # DATE NUMBER XXXX XXXX, XX/XX/XXXX at XXXX XXXX XXXX Wed, XX/XX/XXXX at XXXX XXXX XXXX Wed, XX/XX/XXXX at XXXX XXXX XXXX Wed, XX/XX/XXXX at XXXX XXXX XXXX Tue, XX/XX/XXXX at XXXX XXXX This is XXXX calls in the last 30 days or so. Because they establish no legitimate reason to be calling me this is considered harassment. If they have a legitimate reason to be calling, they would leave a message indicating so. 

I want them to stop harassing me, I owe nothing. They are most likely looking for XXXX XXXX or XXXX XXXX. I know this because this isnt the first time this has happened with a " zombie debt collector ''. The problem is these companies will not take no for an answer and will call endlessly even after you tell them they have the wrong number! 

XXXX Im looking for : Stop calling me!
