Product: Vehicle loan or lease — Loan
Issue: Repossession — Damage caused or loss of personal items in vehicle during the actual repossession
Company: The Peak Service Corp.
State: NJ

Complaint narrative:
On XX/XX/XXXX, my XXXXXX/XX/XXXXXXXX ) was repossessed at approximately XXXXXX/XX/XXXX from my residence in XXXX XXXX XXXX NJ by Peak Service Corp. , XXXX on behalf of XXXX XXXX 

I am filing this formal complaint due to the following misconduct : The repossession occurred at night, without a key, and disturbed my household in violation of the Uniform Commercial Codes breach of peace provision ( UCC 9-609 ).

My business-critical tools, electronics, and records were seized without a formal inventory being provided.

Peak Service Corp. stored the truck at a location not disclosed to me, and I was never offered immediate or complete access to recover my property.

I was not presented with documentation verifying Peaks licensure to operate as a repossession company in the State of New Jersey.

I was notified that the property could be disposed of after 30 days, but was never given an accurate list of what was taken or how it was inventoried.

The truck was essential to my business, and withholding it and its contents caused significant financial harm.

I request that the Commission investigate Peak Service Corp.s conduct and verify their licensing, handling practices, and inventory procedures. I also request that they be directed to halt any sale or further holding of my property pending resolution. 

Attachments and supporting documents can be provided upon request. This case is also under investigation by the CFPB ( Complaint ID : XXXX ).

Complaint narrative:
TransUnion LLC P.O. XXXX 2000 XXXX, PA XXXX Re : Formal Demand for Deletion of Account # XXXX Violation of FCRA To Whom It XXXX Concern : I am formally disputing the account listed on my credit report under the name XXXX XXXX ( Account # XXXX ), located at XXXX, GA XXXX. This account is being reported inaccurately and without proper verification in direct violation of the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ) Section 611 ( 15 U.S.C. 1681i ) and Section 609 ( 15 U.S.C. 1681g ).

I submitted a certified request to the furnisher of the information ( XXXX XXXX ) asking for verification of this alleged account, including the original signed contract bearing my signature. The United States Postal Service has confirmed delivery of this request ; however, the letter was not signed for, and no documentation has ever been received in response. This failure to respond or verify the alleged debt with proper documentation constitutes a failure to validate the account. 

Under the FCRA, if a furnisher can not or does not verify the validity of a debt with competent evidence ( i.e., an original signed contract ), the account must be deleted immediately from my credit file. 

Therefore, I demand that TransUnion conduct an immediate investigation into this matter and delete this unverifiable and inaccurate account from my credit report within the legally mandated XXXX timeframe.

Complaint narrative:
This letter serves as final notice of my dispute regarding the inaccurate late payment reporting on my credit file and your agencys ongoing failure to comply with the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ), 15 U.S.C. 1681 et seq. 
Despite previous disputes, you have continued reporting this derogatory information without providing any documentation to support its validity. A generic 'verified ' response does not satisfy the legal requirement to perform a reasonable reinvestigation under FCRA 1681i. You are also in violation of FCRA 1681e ( b ) which requires that you ensure the maximum possible accuracy of the information you report. Your failure to remove unverifiable data and your refusal to produce original documentation demonstrates willful noncompliance. 
You now have 30 days from the date of this letter to provide the following : - Full and complete documentation from the original creditor validating the alleged late payment ; - A detailed explanation of the reinvestigation process and verification methods ; - Immediate deletion of the disputed item if it can not be 100 % verified with original, substantive evidence.

In support of my position, I refer you to the most recent enforcement actions by the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau ( CFPB ) against major credit reporting agencies : - In XX/XX/year>, Equifax was fined {$15.00} XXXX for improper investigations and failure to comply with FCRA accuracy requirements. 
These actions prove a pattern of systemic negligence in the industry. Your behavior mirrors the violations highlighted in these cases and only strengthens my intent to pursue legal remedies.

Complaint narrative:
This letter serves as a formal demand for compliance with the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ) regarding the handling of my credit report. I have requested the following accounts listed below to removed from my credit report due to identity theft. This is my several attempt to resolve this matter. The previous letters have come with zero compliance. Your failure to provide verifiable proof and your reliance on generic, non-substantive responses violate federal law and my consumer rights. I will not tolerate these deliberate evasions. 

Despite my repeated disputes, your agency has failed to provide legally required documentation proving the validity of the reported information. Under 15 U.S. Code 1681i ( a ) ( 1 ) ( A ), upon receiving a dispute, you are legally required to conduct a meaningful investigation and provide substantive evidence verifying the accuracy of the disputed account. Your boilerplate responses do not meet this legal standard, and your continued negligence constitutes a blatant violation of federal law.

Furthermore, under 15 U.S. Code 1681e ( b ), you are required to maintain maximum possible accuracy in consumer cre
dit reports. Your continued reporting of unverified and inaccurate information, despite my multiple disputes, demonstrates reckless disregard for the law and my rights.

You have 30 days from the date of this letter to provide the following : 1.Actual verification of the disputed accounts, including original documentation from the data furnisher proving the validity of the debtnot generic statements from the creditor or data furnisher. 
2.A detailed explanation of the investigation conducted, including the specific steps taken to verify the accuracy of the information.

3.The names, contact information, and job titles of the individuals who handled my dispute.

4.A statement confirming removal of any information that can not be fully verified as per 15 U.S. Code 1681i ( a ) ( 5 ). 

Failure to comply will result in immediate legal action. I am fully prepared to escalate this matter to the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau ( CFPB ), the Federal Trade Commission ( FTC ), and my states Attorney General. Additionally, I will explore all legal avenues, including but not limited to, filing a lawsuit for willful noncompliance under 15 U.S. Code 1681n, which entitles me to statutory damages, punitive damages, attorney fees, and costs.

The following accounts do not belong to me, as they are fraudulent. The banks have agreed to remove these accounts from my records. Im confused why you still feel theyre reporting accurately. Please see these accounts are fully investigated and VERIFIABLE PROOF IS FORWARED TO ME.

Complaint narrative:
This is a follow-up to my initial CFPB complaint filed case number ( XXXX ) against Experian. I submitted a clear dispute requesting the deletion of old, incorrect addresses. However, Experian responded with a canned message falsely stating that I had requested a name or Social Security number removal, which I never did. 

This is misdirection and stall behavior, and a failure to investigate under FCRA 611. As of today, Experian still reports the incorrect addresses on my credit report, despite proof of my current residence and the absence of any verified link between me and these outdated addresses. 

Violation : Experian did not investigate the specific dispute I submitted. They instead responded about an unrelated topic ( SSN/name removal ), which violates my rights under the FCRA. 

Under the FCRA, if an item can not be verified with actual documentation, it must be deleted.
