Issue: Attempts to collect debt not owed — Debt is not yours
Company: TRANSWORLD SYSTEMS INC
State: NV

Complaint narrative:
I am filing this complaint regarding an account reported by Transworld Systems Inc. on my credit report. I have no knowledge of this alleged debt, nor have I received any documentation validating its legitimacy. Despite my efforts to resolve this matter directly with Transworld Systems Inc., they have failed to provide the required information, which is a violation of federal consumer protection laws. 

Under the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act ( FDCPA ) ( 15 U.S.C. 1692g ), I have the right to request validation of any debt. This validation must include clear documentation that the debt is legitimately tied to me, details about the original creditor, and the amount owed. Transworld Systems Inc. has failed to comply with this requirement. 

Additionally, under the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ) ( 15 U.S.C. 1681i ), credit reporting agencies must ensure that any information they report is accurate and complete. I have disputed this account with the credit bureaus ; however, Transworld Systems Inc. continues to report the alleged debt without proper validation, violating the FCRA 's provisions for handling disputed information. 

The continued reporting of this unvalidated account is causing undue harm to my creditworthiness and financial standing. Furthermore, under FCRA 1681e ( b ), consumer reporting agencies are required to follow reasonable procedures to ensure maximum accuracy of the information they report. The lack of documentation and failure to resolve my dispute violates this obligation. 

I request that the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau ( CFPB ) investigate this matter thoroughly. Specifically, I seek : The immediate removal of the unvalidated account from my credit report across all bureaus. 
Confirmation from Transworld Systems Inc. that they will cease collection activities unless proper validation of the debt can be provided in compliance with federal law. 
Thank you for your attention to this matter. I look forward to your assistance in ensuring compliance with federal credit and debt collection laws and restoring accuracy to my credit report.
