Product: Debt collection — Other debt
Issue: False statements or representation — Attempted to collect wrong amount
Company: Rowland Avenue Management, Inc. A/KA Columbia Debt Recovery, LLC d/b/a Genesis
State: CO

Complaint narrative:
I spoke with a representative with the Columbia Debt Recovery LLC dba Genesis ; I have a debt from an apartment complex that is in dispute. When I spoke to " XXXX '', he told me " He would run this up the chain to the higher-ups, but just the fact that I'm disputing the debt is seen as evading payment and that if I don't pay the {$1000.00} that is owed right now, he can then add additional charges from the apartment complex onto my account totaling {$2700.00} ''. 

I should be allowed to dispute a debt without being threatened with more debt.

Company: EQUIFAX, INC.
State: CA

Complaint narrative:
I am writing to formally request the removal of several unauthorized accounts and inquiries from my credit report. These accounts and inquiries are not associated with me, and I did not authorize their inclusion on my report. The presence of these inaccuracies is the result of a data breach that has adversely affected my credit standing, leading to a significant drop in my FICO score.

Upon a thorough review of my credit report, I identified multiple accounts and inquiries that I do not recognize or authorize. These inaccuracies have led to negative remarks on my credit report, which are unjustly damaging my credit score and financial reputation. 

The inclusion of these unauthorized accounts and inquiries has caused considerable stress and concern regarding my financial well-being. It is imperative that my credit report accurately reflects my financial history and activities. Therefore, I request an immediate investigation into these inaccuracies and the prompt removal of all unauthorized accounts and inquiries.

Complaint narrative:
Subject : Dispute of Inaccurate and Derogatory Accounts on My Credit Report I am writing to formally dispute derogatory account information that is currently appearing on my TransUnion credit report. I have verified that these accounts should not be reporting because the companies associated with these derogatory entries are not the rightful owners of the debts, nor do they have any legitimate claim to continue reporting on my TransUnion credit report.

Under the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ), 15 U.S.C. 1681i, credit reporting agencies are required to ensure the accuracy and completeness of the information that they report. Any information that can not be verified as accurate or that is being reported by entities that do not own the debt must be promptly corrected or deleted. 

The following accounts are inaccurately reporting on my TransUnion credit report : XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX According to 15 U.S.C. 1681s-2 ( b ), furnishers of information are required to report accurate information and update it as needed. If the information is incorrect or if the furnisher does not have ownership of the debt, the information must be removed. These accounts are not owned by the companies reporting them, and thus, they must be removed from my credit report immediately.

Please conduct a thorough investigation of these accounts, as required under 15 U.S.C. 1681i, and delete or correct the disputed entries within the 30-day period required by law. Additionally, please provide me with a copy of my updated credit report reflecting the corrections, and notify any other consumer reporting agencies to whom you have furnished this information of the necessary changes. 

Enclosed, please find copies of my identification, proof of address, and any additional supporting documentation. I appreciate your prompt attention to this matter and expect a timely resolution in compliance with federal law. 
Thank you for your cooperation. 
Sincerely, XXXX XXXX

Complaint narrative:
On or around XX/XX/2024 I reached out to dispute the info to make the credit bureaus aware of balances that were incorrectly showing I am accruing interest on my student loan accounts in addition to erroneous late payments on my XXXX XXXX car account. I submitted proof of the payments made via XXXX XXXX  for my XXXX XXXX XXXX  account, and cited the fact that I can not accrue interest while in XXXX  for my XXXX  loans. 

The credit bureaus proceeded to update very minimally the late payments to only a few for my military star card and update the balance as XXXX. Instead of correcting all of the erroneous late payments. 
For my XXXX  loans they only updated the balance to show the amount without accruing interest until XX/XX/2024, still allowing the balance owed to be incorrect.

On XX/XX/XXXX, I made an online payment for my Home Depot store card. I was prompted to pay the full balance, but clicked a different option, showing {$130.00}. I selected that, confirmed my banking info, and moved on with my day.

The following day, I discovered a charge of {$1100.00} from the credit card company, {$1000.00} more than I had expected.

I contacted Home Depot 's card services and was told that while I will get my money back, an investigation may take up to XXXX business days, with a minimum of XXXX business days, if my bank gets involved and provides specific paperwork. Even with attempts to escalate this situation, the staff said they were tied by " legal requirements. ''

I am filing this complaint because my credit reports show several unauthorized inquiries that I did not initiate or approve. These inquiries have appeared without my consent, and despite reaching out to the credit bureaus to have them removed, they remain on my reports. My disputes have been ignored or dismissed without proper investigation, leaving these inaccurate inquiries to negatively impact my credit score. This situation is both alarming and unjust, as these inquiries are not a result of any actions Ive taken. Also all inaccurate addresses and names that I have shown on my dispute letter.

I attempted XXXX or XXXX times to register online account to get my credit report and freeze credit because of the recent social security breach. Each time I completed the registration and 'submitted ', I got error message 'Try again later '. I called Equifax XXXX and after XXXX minutes on hold, I got an agent. We went thru the process again, and this time it would not accept my password... ..'try again later '. I asked for my credit report to be mailed to me. I was able to register, download credit reports and make a dispute with XXXX and XXXX with no trouble. I am afraid to do a credit freeze with Equifax because I would never be able to remove it. Many complaints on their website for a few years and they are still a mess! They are responsible for sensitive info and have no responsibility!!
