Complaint narrative:
Complaint Summary This complaint is submitted against Figure Lending LLC for willful and negligent violations of the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ), the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act ( FDCPA ), the Florida Consumer Collection Practices Act ( FCCPA ), and the Florida Deceptive and Unfair Trade Practices Act ( FDUTPA ). The violations stem from the continued furnishing of inaccurate credit reporting, misrepresentation of account status, and the unlawful origination of a personal loan in Florida without the appropriate state license.

I. FCRA Violations 15 U.S.C. 1681n & 1681o Figure Lending LLC willfully and/or negligently reported contradictory information to credit reporting agencies about a personal loan originated on XX/XX/XXXX, in the amount of {$38000.00}. The account was closed and reported as " Paid in Full '' with a {$0.00} balance on XX/XX/XXXX. However, Figure later furnished a separate tradeline on XX/XX/XXXX, reporting {$41000.00} as past due. This constitutes inaccurate reporting under the FCRA. See XXXXXXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXXXXXX ) ( credit reports must be accurate not just technically, but also in a manner not misleading ). 

II. FDCPA Violations 15 U.S.C. 1692e, 1692f Despite selling the account to XXXX XXXX XXXX ( as evidenced by the notation " XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX '' ), Figure Lending continued reporting the entire amount as due. This violates FDCPA provisions forbidding false representations of the character or legal status of a debt. See XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX 

III. FCCPA Violations Fla. Stat. 559.72 ( 5 ), ( 6 ), ( 9 ) Under Florida law, it is unlawful to disclose information known to be false. Figure Lending, despite having no legal interest in the debt post-sale, continued to furnish derogatory information. This constitutes a violation under XXXXXXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX 

IV. XXXX Violations XXXX XXXX. XXXX The deceptive dual-reporting of a closed account as both {$0.00} and {$41000.00} due amounts to an unfair and deceptive practice actionable under Florida consumer XXXX law. See XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXXXXXX ). 

V. Unlicensed Lending Florida Law Figure Lending LLC is not licensed to originate personal loans in the State of Florida. It holds licensure only for mortgage-related activity. The origination of a personal loan in Florida without proper licensure violates Fla. Stat. 516.02 and renders the transaction void or unenforceable. See XXXXXXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXXXXXX ) ( courts will not enforce contracts made in contravention of a statutory licensing requirement ). 

VI. Bad Faith Pleading Rule 11, FRCP ; Binding Precedent Figure Lending has indicated its intent to file a Motion to Dismiss despite actual and constructive knowledge of its violations. Filing a pleading without factual or legal support is sanctionable. See XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX ) ( Rule XXXX applies to pleadings filed for improper purpose or without legal foundation ). 

XXXX. Federal Civil Litigation Disclosure These issues are the subject of pending litigation in the XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXXXXXX.
