Issue: Improper use of your report — Reporting company used your report improperly
Company: EQUIFAX, INC.
State: CT

Complaint narrative:
I am concerned about the validity and accuracy of your recent investigation of these accounts that are reporting on my credit report. Last month I requested an investigation because I felt the item was not being reported legally. Couple of days ago I received a letter stating that you have ceased investigation of my credit reports because, in your opinion, you believe that I have used a third party credit repair agency. Not only do I believe this to be a stall tactic on your part to grant you an additional 30 days to comply with my original request, but I believe it to be a blatant violation of the FCRA.

I have attached a copy of my government issued ID as well as mail showing proof of address. So, there shouldnt be any confusion or stall tactics on your end. I have maintained a careful record of my communications with you for the purpose of filing a complaint with the FTC should you continue in your non-compliance.

Complaint narrative:
I was shocked to discover an unauthorized inquiry on my credit report today, and I dont understand why its there. I always monitor my credit report, yet this time, an unfamiliar entry appeared out of nowhere. I even refreshed my browser multiple times, but the issue persisted. This is completely unacceptable, and I need it addressed without delay. I am requesting a thorough review of my submitted documents to ensure this never happens again.

Company: Experian Information Solutions Inc.
State: FL

Complaint narrative:
The Fair Credit Reporting Act ( 15 U.S. Code 1681 ) says ( 1 ) The banking system is dependent upon fair and accurate credit reporting. Inaccurate credit reports directly impair the efficiency of the banking system, and unfair credit reporting methods undermine the public confidence which is essential to the continued functioning of the banking system.

So whenever there is a violation under the FCRA, it impairs the efficiency of the banking system. This is a violation of my privacy with my consumer report, since I control what is listed and what is not. In the event that any accounts are reported without my written consent, that is considered identity theft.

This is a violation of both 15 U.S. Code 1681b ( 2 ) and 15 U.S. Code 1681c-2. This leads way to civil liability against the credit reporting agency for negligent and willful noncompliance under 15 U.S. Code 1681n, which allows for {$1000.00} per violation, for account listed without my expressed written consent.

" I recently reviewed my consumer report and noticed an incorrect late payment record. I have always maintained timely payments on this account. Under the Fair Credit Billing Act ( FCBA ) and the Truth in Lending Act ( TILA ), creditors are required to accurately report consumer transactions and provide a mechanism for correcting errors in a timely manner. Please conduct an investigation into this matter, and if you can not provide documentary evidence of these supposed late payments, I demand these payments to be updated to on time as they should be as I was NEVER late. I expect these updates to be made promptly, in compliance with the law.

Issue: Attempts to collect debt not owed — Debt is not yours
Company: CCS Financial Services, Inc.
State: FL

Complaint narrative:
I am disputing a debt reported by Credit Collection Services ( CCS ) on behalf of XXXX that is still appearing on my XXXX  credit report. This same collection account was previously reported to XXXX XXXX XXXX but after I sent a formal dispute letter to CCS ( delivered via XXXX on XX/XX/year> ) the account was removed from both of those credit bureaus. 

In that first letter, I requested full validation of the alleged debt, including : 1. A copy of the forward flow agreement between CCS and XXXX XXXX. A full chain of custody for the debt, and 3. A contract bearing my signature, if any existed.

CCS never responded to that letter but removed the account from both XXXXXXXX XXXX XXXX suggesting that they lacked sufficient documentation to validate the debt or no longer wished to furnish it. 

I then sent a second letter, delivered and confirmed received on XX/XX/year>, stating that I observed the deletion of the account from XXXX XXXX XXXX and reminding CCS that under FCRA 623 ( a ) ( 1 ) ( A ), a data furnisher must not report information that it knows or has reasonable cause to believe is inaccurate. I requested that they remove the tradeline from XXXX  as well. 

As of today, I have received no response to either letter, and the account remains on my XXXX  credit file. 

CCSs conduct constitutes a violation of the Fair Credit Reporting Act, particularly : 623 ( a ) ( 1 ) ( A ) : furnishing information known ( or with reason to believe ) to be inaccurate, and 623 ( a ) ( 2 ) : failure to correct and update information after notice from the consumer. 

This continued reporting has negatively impacted my credit and causes ongoing harm. 

I am requesting that the CFPB compel CCS to : 1. Immediately delete the account from my XXXX  credit file 2. Cease all reporting of this account to any consumer reporting agency, and 3. Provide written confirmation of the deletion.

Company: Aargon Agency, Inc.
State: GA

Complaint narrative:
I am filing a complaint against Aargon Agency , Inc., located at XXXXXXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXXXXXX, for violating my rights under the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ), specifically 15 U.S.C. 1681b, by illegally furnishing information about an alleged debt to credit reporting agencies without a permissible purpose or proper validation.

Aargon Agency is reporting a debt related to XXXX XXXX ( XXXX XXXX ) allegedly placed with them on XX/XX/XXXX, but this debt : 1. Has not been validated properly under 15 U.S.C. 1692g despite my request for verification.

2. Was reported without my authorization or consent, which violates the FCRA provision under 1681b ( a ) requiring a permissible purpose.

3. Continues to be reported on my credit reports despite being disputed and without providing sufficient documentation ( e.g., signed contract or itemized statement of charges ). 
Their own response admits that they do not need a signed contract for verification, yet this contradicts the FCRA requirements, especially when the debt is disputed and no actual evidence has been provided. 
Requested Resolution : - Immediately cease and desist from furnishing any information regarding this debt to XXXXXXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX, or any other credit bureau. 
- Delete all related tradelines and negative entries from all credit reporting agencies. 
- Provide proof that they had a permissible purpose to access and furnish my information under 1681b. 
- Investigate this debt and provide a full response in accordance with FDCPA and FCRA. 
Attached : Aargons letter dated XX/XX/XXXX, showing their continued collection efforts without sufficient evidence. 
Sincerely, XXXX XXXX

Company: Fig Tech Inc.

Complaint narrative:
I didn't know this loan hadn't been paid. I had set up auto payment with the company and assumed it was good to go because it was only around {$100.00}. I have since found out it has gone to my credit. They have done nothing to contact me about this debt in order for me to pay or dispute. I have had nothing via mail nor phone. Upon this discovery I emailed their customer service to get my account informatoin. I want to pay it online so I can get a receipt. Customer service emailed me back and said they wanted a picture of my driver 's license and my social security card to verify me. I am not comfortable providing my social security card picture. I did provide my driver 's license however I don't think that that should be something they should be able to request. they also have a number to call however, you can't get an actual person it just says to go and complete everything online or email their customer service.
