Consumer complaint received 2023-08-20 00:00:00
Product: Debt collection — Other debt
Issue: Written notification about debt — Didn't receive enough information to verify debt
Company: I.C. System, Inc.
State: CA

Complaint narrative:
I am writing to formally lodge a complaint against I C System Inc, a debt collection agency, for their unjust and unethical practices in attempting to collect a debt that has not been properly verified and is beyond the statute of limitations. I am deeply concerned about their approach, which appears to violate the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act ( FDCPA ) and other relevant consumer protection laws. 
I recently received communication from I C System Inc. in the form of an invoice and a copy of a phone bill, both of which are being used as evidence to support their claim for debt repayment. However, I find their approach inadequate and problematic for the following reasons : 1. Failure to Verify Debt : According to the FDCPA, debt collectors are required to provide validation of a debt upon request. I have made an official request for debt verification, and all I received in response was a copy of a phone bill and an invoice to pay. This does not constitute sufficient verification of the debt 's legitimacy and accuracy. 
2. Expired Statute of Limitations : The debt in question is beyond the statute of limitations, which means that the legal timeframe for pursuing collection actions has expired. Despite this, I C System Inc, is attempting to collect the debt, which raises concerns about their adherence to legal guidelines and ethical standards. 
3. Insufficient Documentation : A mere copy of a phone bill and an invoice does not provide the necessary documentation to prove the validity of the debt. Without detailed information and proper validation, it is impossible for me to assess the accuracy of their claim. 
4. Furnished the written validation notice within the required time period and otherwise complied with applicable validation requirements ( 15 U.S.C. 1692g 5. Company has no Contract between XXXX XXXX and I C System Inc I kindly request that the Department of Financial Protection and Innovation thoroughly investigates this matter and takes appropriate action against XXXX XXXX XXXX if they are found to be in violation of consumer protection laws. I believe their actions not only undermine my rights as a consumer but also contribute to the erosion of trust in the debt collection industry as a whole. 
I am attaching copies of all relevant correspondence from I C System Inc, as well as any communication I have had with them. I appreciate your attention to this matter and your commitment to safeguarding consumer rights. 
Please feel free to contact me at XXXX or XXXX if you require any further information or clarification regarding this complaint. I look forward to a swift resolution to this issue and the restoration of my rights as a consumer. 
Thank you for your time and consideration. 
Sincerely, XXXX XXXX

Company: Experian Information Solutions Inc.
State: FL

Complaint narrative:
I am writing to file a formal complaint regarding a potential violation of 15 U.S.C. 1681a ( 2 ) ( i ) under the Fair Credit Reporting Act. I believe that the information provided by XXXX XXXX, XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXXXXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX and XXXX XXXX  XXXX in a consumer report has not complied with the exclusion outlined in 15 U.S.C. 1681a ( 2 ) ( i ). Which state that Exclusions.Except as provided in paragraph ( 3 ), the term consumer report does not include ( i ) report containing information solely as to transactions or experiences between the consumer and the person making the report ; The consumer report I received from Experian, XXXX and XXXX contained information that was solely related to transactions or experiences between me and the entity making the report, as per the exclusion outlined in 15 U.S.C. 1681a ( 2 ) ( i ) However, I believe that the information provided in the report did not adhere to this exclusion and included elements that extended beyond the scope of transactions or experiences between me and the entity. 

I request that the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau investigate this matter and take appropriate action to ensure that my rights under the Fair Credit Reporting Act are upheld. 

I understand the importance of accuracy and compliance with federal regulations in the handling of consumer information, and I trust that the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau will thoroughly investigate this complaint.

Company: WESTSTAR MORTGAGE CORPORATION
State: TX

Complaint narrative:
XX/XX/2023, @ XXXX sent an email to westar mortgage to change my payment amounts for my XXXX home loans. XXXX & XXXX. I asked that payments be taken out bi-monthly ( every other week ). Any overpayment is to go towards the principal. 

Loan XXXX is set to draft on XX/XX/XXXX and XXXX for {$1700.00} each. 
Loan XXXX is set to draft on XX/XX/XXXX and XXXX for {$2400.00} each. 

Payments for loan ending in XXXX was set up correctly. 
Payments for loans ending in XXXX, are not being applied correctly. The overpayment was to go towards the principle they are applying to future payments. I have asked several times for them to correct it. They are now telling me that they can't take out bi-monthly ( they are still debiting my checking acct bi-monthly ) and say they can't put towards the principal ( they are doing it correctly on the account ending in XXXX ). I have had several instances where my payments were posted incorrectly. I have had soo much trouble with them posting things. I can't get statements online. Their statements are confusing. I would like a full audit of my accounts.
