State: KY

Complaint narrative:
XX/XX/year> XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX, XXXX, Kentucky, XXXX Dear XXXX XXXX XXXX, This letter is being sent to you in response to a recent charge that was made on my credit report that I do not recognize. 
Be advised this is not a refusal to pay, but a notice sent pursuant to the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act, 15 USC 1692g stating your claim is disputed and validation is requested. 
This is NOT a request for verification or proof of my mailing address, but a request for VALIDATION made pursuant to the above-named Title and Section. I respectfully request your offices provide me with competent evidence that I have any legal obligation to pay you. 
At this time, I will also inform you that if your offices have reported invalidated information to any of the 3 major credit bureaus ( XXXX XXXX  or TransUnion ) this action may constitute fraud under both Federal and State Laws. Due to this fact, if any negative mark is found on any of my credit reports by your company or the company that you represent, I will not hesitate in bringing legal action against you and your client for the following : Violation of the Fair Credit Reporting Act, Violation of the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act, and Defamation of Character. 
If your offices are able to provide the proper documentation as requested in the following Declaration, I will require at least 30 days to investigate this information, during which time all collection activity must cease and desist. Also, during this validation period, if any action is taken which could be considered detrimental to any of my credit reports, I will consult with my legal counsel for suit. This includes any listing of any information to a credit reporting repository that could be inaccurate or invalidated.

If your office fails to respond to this validation request within 30 days from the date of your receipt, all references to this account must be deleted and completely removed from my credit file and a copy of such deletion request shall be sent to me immediately. 
Sincerely, XXXX XXXX CEASE AND DESIST I would also like to request, in writing, that no further telephone contact be made by your offices to my home or to my place of employment. If your offices continue to attempt telephone communication with me it will be considered harassment and I will have no choice but to file suit. All future communications with me MUST be done in writing and sent to the address noted in this letter. 
It would be advisable that you and your client assure that your records are in order before I am forced to take legal action. 
Sincerely, XXXX XXXX

Complaint narrative:
A few weeks ago, I submitted dispute letters directly to all three credit bureaus regarding inaccurate items on my credit report. These inaccuracies are clear violations of the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ) and Fair Debt Collection Practices Act ( FDCPA ), and the bureaus are legally obligated to investigate and correct them. I have received responses suggesting I am using a third-party service, which is false. I am the sole author and sender of these disputes, and I have not enlisted the help of any credit repair company or outside entity.

Complaint narrative:
I recently conducted a review of my credit report and found several items that have caused me significant distress. These items appear to be unverifiable, inaccurate, and questionable. Your agency has failed to ensure the accuracy of the information as required under 15 U.S. Code 1681e ( b ) Accuracy of Reports. This statute mandates that consumer reporting agencies must follow reasonable procedures to ensure the maximum possible accuracy of the information they report.

Furthermore, under 15 U.S. Code 1681i ( 5 ) Treatment of Inaccurate or Unverifiable Information, you are required to promptly delete or modify any information found to be inaccurate, incomplete, or unverifiable during a reinvestigation. If you are unable to provide me with verifiable proof of the accuracy of the disputed items within 15 days of your investigation, these accounts and the related information must be removed from my credit report.

Additionally, under the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act ( FDCPA ), I do not recognize any of the alleged creditors or debt collectors. I have never entered into a valid contract with any of these entities, nor have I engaged in any transactions with them. As such, these accounts are fraudulent and and inaccurate information. 

Moreover, under the Fair Credit Billing Act, my right to privacy has been violated, and this breach infringes upon my rights as outlined in The Privacy Act of 1974. Removing the inaccurate and fraudulent information from my credit report will help restore my privacy and prevent further violations.

State: NV

Complaint narrative:
I was listed as a co-signer on an auto loan account with XXXX, but I was never provided with any paperwork, disclosures, or copies of the XXXX XXXX XXXX at the time of signing or afterward. 

I filed a CFPB complaint on XX/XX/year> ( Complaint XXXX XXXXXXXX ). The company responded on XX/XX/year> but did not include any proof of my authorization or signature. I filed a follow-up dispute on XX/XX/year> requesting verification or removal. 

On XX/XX/year>, XXXX stated they were still working on it, but since then, I have received no documentation, no signed agreement, and no resolution. Despite multiple requests, they have failed to verify that I ever authorized or signed for this loan. 

Additionally, XXXX repossessed the vehicle without providing any required notices. I did not receive a Notice of Default, Right to Cure, Notice of Sale, or Deficiency Balance Notice, which are required under UCC 9-611 and 9-614 and my states consumer protection laws.

This failure deprived me of my right to redeem the vehicle, understand the amount allegedly owed, or exercise my legal rights before or after repossession.

The account continues to be reported to the credit bureaus despite XXXX inability to provide proper documentation or verification. This constitutes inaccurate and unverifiable reporting under the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA 623 ( a ) ( 1 ) ( A ) ; 15 U.S.C. 1681s-2 ) and also violates Truth in Lending Act ( TILA ) disclosure requirements. 

I am requesting immediate investigation and enforcement action to ensure XXXX provides valid proof of my authorization and all required noticesor that this account is deleted in full from my credit reports.

Complaint narrative:
Im writing to formally dispute late payment ( XXXX ) being reported on my credit file for the account below. The late marks are inaccurate and should not be on my report because the creditor failed to provide proper notice of the payment due or any missed payment - a failure that denied me the opportunity to correct or prevent the issue. 



Account Details : XXXX. XXXX Account Number : XXXX Why This Is Being Disputed : I was not provided with any notification of upcoming payment due dates, nor was I notified when the account allegedly became late. The absence of such communication resulted in a late mark being reported without giving me a fair chance to resolve or prevent it. This lack of notice violates fundamental principles under the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ), including :
