Issue: Attempts to collect debt not owed — Debt was paid
Company: Accscient, LLC
State: GA

Complaint narrative:
I filed bankruptcy in XX/XX/year> due to a major financial hardship, this information is available on my credit report. It is against the law for creditors or collection agencies to report any delinquency to bureaus when consumers are under an automatic stay in federal bankruptcy court whether the creditor is included in the bankruptcy or not. I dont have any business with any collection agency as they buy old debts of consumers from medical companies and go out harassing people to pay them for the debt that they bought to keep their business going. Please note this is what has happened in this case against me. I found out about this debt from looking at my credit karma account. Equifax has knowingly allowed XXXX XXXX XXXX to report a debt that is legally no longer owed by me the consumer who is under an automatic stay in an active bankruptcy. I have no knowledge of this company or this debt. I have called Equifax and disputed this debt multiple times and requested they remove the debt as it is illegally being reported. They refused by stating any creditor can report a debt that is not included in a bankruptcy. That is not what the law states and they know it. I told them I will report them to this bureau because they arent above the law. Furthermore I advised them that I have no business with the creditor and no knowledge of any debt owed because as a consumer under an automatic stay in federal bankruptcy court I cant apply or obtain any new debt without the courts permission and I havent. It is an attempt by the collection agency to coerce me to pay them and that is a direct violation of the automatic stay in place by the federal bankruptcy court.

Complaint narrative:
Finding unauthorized accounts, credit inquiries, and false personal information made or reported without my knowledge or agreement completely stunned and grieved me. I've tried to get clarification from the creditors, but they have blatantly refused to give it to me. I demand that the creditors act immediately and be transparent. The creditors must submit pertinent application materials, show proof of express authority for each query, and give comprehensive details about each account and inquiry, including dates, purposes, and the kinds of credit products involved. To see what I'm complaining about, please refer to the attached file!

Company: EQUIFAX, INC.
State: NC

Complaint narrative:
I am updating a late payment that is currently being reported on my credit report as " open '' or unresolved. This entry is inaccurate and misleading. I have either already resolved the payment, or I was never late as claimed. The continued reporting of this item as open and delinquent is a violation of the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ), particularly 15 U.S.C. 1681e ( b ), which requires consumer reporting agencies to maintain maximum possible accuracy of the information they report. This misreporting has negatively impacted my credit score and may hinder my ability to obtain credit or employment. I am requesting an immediate investigation into this matter, as well as a correction or deletion of the inaccurate late payment record if it can not be verified.

Complaint narrative:
Consumer Reporting Agencies play a crucial role in gathering and assessing consumer credit information. However, they must exercise their responsibilities with fairness, impartiality, and respect for the consumers right to privacy. The banking system relies on accurate and fair credit reporting, and when these reporting methods are unfair, it undermines public trust, which is vital for the system 's stability. I never gave my explicit, written consent for these agencies to report my information, which is a violation of 15 U.S. Code 1681b ( 2 ). This violation has led to an alleged case of identity theft, breaching 15 U.S. Code 1681c-2. The accounts in question are not related to any transactions made by me.

The Fair Debt Collection Practices Act was created to ensure that laws and procedures are in place to protect consumers from abusive, deceptive, and unfair practices by debt collectors. In this case, the company has violated 15 U.S. Code 1692f, which prohibits debt collectors from using unfair or unconscionable means to collect a debt. Specifically, they can not collect any amounts that arent explicitly authorized by the agreement or allowed by law. Additionally, the company has violated 15 U.S. Code 1692e, which prohibits the use of false, deceptive, or misleading representations in debt collection efforts. This includes using deceptive methods to collect a debt or gather consumer information. Moreover, they are forbidden from contacting consumers at inconvenient times or places, or engaging in behavior that harasses or abuses consumers. 

In this case, the company has harassed me by claiming I owe a debt that I do not recognize as my responsibility. They have also contacted me at inconvenient times and places, in violation of the law.
