i Have asked XXXXXXXX XXXX XXXX to provide debt verification documents. XXXX has responded with an account transaction summary, and a letter stating the debt has been sold to them from XXXX  XXXX. XXXX also makes the claim that they are not required to provide a written agreement or full payment history. Which means in the court of law both federally and on a state level, XXXX XXXX  has failed to " State a claim ''. you can not respond to a verification claim with documents that does not show true ownership of the account. While the letter is nice, federal law requires a true bill of sale as proof of account ownership. You are required to disclose the transaction documents between your company and XXXX  XXXX. Simply saying i owe a debt and attaching a transaction record is not acceptable. I need to see the legal binding document that ties me to this alleged account. If you can not produce a signed contract by me, then you can not tie me to this debt. where is the proof this debt actually belongs to me? where is the proof that i agreed to pay XXXX  XXXX for a line of credit. YOU ARE REQUIRED TO PROVIDE THOSE DOCUMENTS. without providing those documents you are in violation of the FDCPA and the FCRA, in which case your company is liable for damages. This note is to establish communication on the federal level as it seems that this collection agency feels that they do not need to comply with the law. I am certain that XXXX purchased this alleged debt in a bulk buy and did not ensure the proper paperwork was attached to this debt that would allow them to legally collect it. If they did, they would be able to provide me with the contract or written agreement that shows that i entered an agreement to pay XXXX  XXXX in the first place.

Company: I.C. System, Inc.
State: MO

Complaint narrative:
Subject : Unauthorized Credit Reporting and Demand for Resolution Reference to Federal and XXXX XXXXXXXX XXXX XXXX Dear I C SYSTEM, I am writing to address a serious violation regarding the unauthorized reporting of information to my credit report, as confirmed by the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ) under Sections 1681b ( a ) ( 2 ), 1681c ( a ) ( 2 ), and 1681s-2 ( a ), and identity fraud laws, specifically Missouri Revised Statutes, Chapter 570.

It has unequivocally come to my attention that I C SYSTEM has engaged in unauthorized reporting to my credit report without obtaining my explicit consent. Federal law, as outlined in the FCRA, explicitly mandates that the consent of the consumer is a non-negotiable requirement for such reporting activities under Section 1681b ( a ) ( 2 ).

In addition to federal law, Missouri state law, specifically Chapter 570 of the Missouri Revised Statutes, emphasizes the necessity of protecting consumers from identity theft and unauthorized access to personal information. 

I assert with unwavering certainty that I have not provided consent for I C SYSTEM to report any information to my credit report. This undeniable lack of explicit permission constitutes a blatant violation of my rights, resulting in potential damage to my creditworthiness and a clear disregard for federal and state laws. 

I demand, with the utmost certainty, that I C SYSTEM immediately ceases any further reporting of information to my credit report without obtaining my explicit consent, as mandated by Section 1681b ( a ) ( 2 ) of the FCRA and Missouri identity theft laws. Failure to comply within the stipulated 30-day timeframe will be viewed as willful noncompliance, subject to penalties under applicable laws.

I emphasize that obtaining consent is not a discretionary choice but a legal obligation under these specific sections of the FCRA and Missouri state law. This is not a negotiation ; it is a demand for compliance with both federal and state regulations, protecting consumers like myself from unauthorized and damaging credit reporting.

I anticipate your immediate attention to this matter and expect that I C SYSTEM will promptly rectify these egregious violations, respecting my rights under federal and state laws. 

Done in good faith, XXXX XXXX

Complaint narrative:
Upon reviewing my credit report, I discovered several accounts that I do not recognize and believe to be fraudulent. These accounts appear to be opened without my authorization, and I am deeply concerned about the potential impact on my credit standing and financial well-being. I suspect that I am a victim of identity theft, as I have not initiated or authorized the opening of these accounts. The presence of these unauthorized accounts on my credit report has caused me significant distress and uncertainty about the security of my personal information. I have attached a copy of my credit report highlighting the unrecognized accounts for your reference.
