XXXX et seq. ], this subchapter and the regulations prescribed thereunder shall be enforced by the XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX, the Federal functional regulators, the State insurance authorities, and the Federal Trade Commission with respect to financial institutions and other persons subject to their jurisdiction under applicable law, XXXX XXXX Code XXXX False or misleading representations ; A debt collector XXXX not use any false, deceptive, or misleading representation or means in connection with the collection of any debt. Without limiting the general application of the foregoing, the following conduct is a violation of this section : XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX ( XXXX ) states, The false representation or implication that the debt collector is vouched for, bonded by, or affiliated with the United States or any State, including the use of any badge, uniform, or facsimile thereof. XXXX XXXX Code XXXX ( XXXX ) states, The false representation of ( A ) the character, amount, or legal status of any debt ; or ( B ) any services rendered or compensation which XXXX be lawfully received by any debt collector for the collection of a debt. Examples of common violations under this subsection include a collector falsely implying legal action has begun when it has not, where the collector claims an amount more than actually owed ( allegedly due to interest, late charges or other fees, that are not authorized ), and where the collector asserts a debt is owed and immediately due and payable, when it is not. XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX ( XXXX ) states, The false representation or implication that any individual is an attorney or that any communication is from an attorney. A debt collector XXXX not send a collection letter from a XXXX Department, where no legal department exists, or send a letter deceptively using an attorneys name when the debt collector is not an attorney/law firm. And if a creditor falsely uses an attorneys name rather than its own when trying to collect, the creditor will lose its exemption from the FDCPAs definition of debt collector. XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX ( XXXX ) states, The representation or implication that nonpayment of any debt will result in the arrest or imprisonment of any person or the XXXX, garnishment, attachment, or sale of any property or wages of any person unless such action is lawful and the debt collector or creditor intends to take such action. XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX ( XXXX ) states, The threat to take any action that can not legally be taken or that is not intended to be taken. A debt collector XXXX not state that he will take any action unless he intends to take the action when the statement is made, and ordinarily takes such action in similar circumstances. He or she XXXX also not state that a third party ( e.g., the creditor ) will take an action unless there is reason to believe, at the time the statement is made, that such action will be taken. For example, a debt collector XXXX not threaten to report a dishonored check or other fact to the police, unless he actually intends to do so, threaten to attach a consumers tax refund unless he has the legal authority to do so, report a debt to a credit bureau if it doesnt actually report debts, or threaten to illegally contact an employer, or other third party. A debt collector XXXX also not misrepresent the imminence of an action, when such action is not actually planned. For example, a debt XXXX implication or reference to an attorney or to legal proceedings XXXX mislead the debtor as to the likelihood or immediate legal action. However, if the debt collector has reason to know legal action is unlikely in the particular case, that statement would be misleading. And lack of intent actually bring suit XXXX be inferred when the amount of the debt is so small as to make the action totally unfeasible or when the debt collector is unable to take the action because the creditor has not authorized him to do so. XXXX XXXX Code XXXX ( XXXX ) states, The false representation or implication that a sale, referral, or other transfer of any interest in a debt shall cause the consumer to '' ( A ) lose any claim or defense to payment of the debt ; or ( B ) become subject to any practice prohibited by this subchapter. This often occurs where the debt collector falsely states that the consumers account will be referred back to the original creditor, or a different collector, who will be able to otherwise who take action the FDCPA prohibits the debt collector to take. A debt collector XXXX also not mislead the consumer as to the legal consequences of the consumers action or inaction ( e.g., by falsely implying that a failure to dispute is an admission of liability ). XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX ( XXXX ) states, The false representation or implication that the consumer committed any crime or other conduct in order to disgrace the consumer. XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX ( XXXX ) states, Communicating or threatening to communicate to any person credit information which is known, or which should be known to be false, including the failure to communicate that a disputed debt is disputed. If a debt collector is reporting a debt to a credit bureau, and knows the consumer disputes the debt ( whenever the consumer disputes it, even if after XXXX days ), he must update the account as disputed, and failure to do so violates the XXXX. XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX ( XXXX ) states, The use or distribution of any written communication which simulates or is falsely represented to be a document authorized, issued, or approved by any court, official, or agency of the United States or any State, or which creates a false impression as to its source, authorization, or approval. XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX ( XXXX ) states, The use of any false representation or deceptive means to collect or attempt to collect any debt or to obtain information concerning a consumer. This is in general, a catch-all provision, encompassing actions not expressly listed. XXXX XXXX Code XXXX ( XXXX ) states, The failure to disclose in the initial written communication with the consumer and, in addition, if the initial communication with the consumer is oral, in that initial oral communication, that the debt collector is attempting to collect a debt and that any information obtained will be used for that purpose, and the failure to disclose in subsequent communications that the communication is from a debt collector, except that this paragraph shall not apply to a formal pleading made in connection with a legal AS PER THE LAW, I WANT THE I WANT THESE ACCOUNTS DELETED/REMOVED WITHIN 4 DAYS FROM MY REPORT AS IT IS UNLAWFUL TO REPORT. These accounts has violated my rights to adverse employment action under FCRA XXXX. My right to privacy is guaranteed by XXXX XXXX. XXXX section XXXX ( A ) XXXX XXXX. XXXX ( A ) ( XXXX ) A person shall not furnish any information relating to a consumer to any consumer reporting agency if the person knows or has reasonable cause to believe that the information is inaccurate. They continue to report this on my credit report. I want compensation because they violated me for months. They have both reported for months in total these derogatory. { {$1000.00} } per violation ( transaction ). { {$1000.00} } x 12 months for XXXX yrs total { {$12000.00} }. Their handling of my records and privacy is unacceptable. Because of this falsely reporting, I have been declined for personal and business loans that I otherwise would have been approved for. This has caused significant financial hardship and unnecessary stress. I demand that XXXX XXXXXXXX XXXX XXXX and XXXX XXXX rectify this issue immediately by removing these erroneous accounts entries from my credit report in compliance with XXXX and other relevant regulations. Additionally, I am seeking compensation for the damages caused by this violation, which has impacted my ability to access credit and financial opportunities. I demand a response to this complaint within 10 days to confirm that corrective action has been taken and provide details on how you intend to compensate me for the damages incurred. Failure to address this matter satisfactorily will compel me to pursue further legal action.
