Product: Debt collection — I do not know
Issue: Written notification about debt — Didn't receive notice of right to dispute
Company: Zions Debt Holdings
State: HI

Complaint narrative:
This collection agency Zions Debt Holdings is attempting to collect a debt that I do NOT owe in the state of Hawaii and they have reporting this false information on my consumer report which violates both FDCPA and FCRA. I demand that they show evidence that they are justified in collecting such debt by providing all requested documents stated in the attached dispute letter. This includes a notarized signed agreement bearing my signature or an assigned agreement from creditor that also bears my signature. Last I check I did not signed anything authorizing this agency to collect on behalf of the creditor that I conducted business with. Additionally, in the state of Hawaii, a debt collector is required to be bonded and have a license to collect, therefore, I am demanding that they show proof that they are allowed to collect in Hawaii otherwise they would be violating the HFDCPA ( Hawaii Fair Debt Collection Practices Act ). If they can not show any of the requested documents then I demand that they cease all collection activity and delete this item from my consumer report. Lastly, this agency has also been in trouble with states such as Idaho for collection practices without a license in the state. Please view attached. I could not find this agency on XXXX.

Product: Credit reporting or other personal consumer reports — Credit reporting
Issue: Problem with a company's investigation into an existing problem — Was not notified of investigation status or results
Company: EQUIFAX, INC.
State: SC

Complaint narrative:
" The Fair Credit Reporting Act ( 15 U.S. Code 1681 ) says ( 1 ) The banking system is dependent upon fair and accurate credit reporting. Inaccurate credit reports directly impair the efficiency of the banking system, and unfair credit reporting methods undermine the public confidence, which is essential to the continued functioning of the banking system.

So whenever there is a violation under the FCRA, it impairs the efficiency of the banking system. This is a violation of my privacy with my consumer report, since I control what is listed and what is not. In the event that any accounts are reported without my written consent, that is considered identity theft.

This is a violation of both 15 U.S. Code 1681b ( 2 ) and 15 U.S. Code 1681c-2. This leads way to civil liability against the credit reporting agency for negligent and willful noncompliance under 15 U.S. Code 1681n, which allows for {$1000.00} per violation, for each account listed without my expressed written consent.

I looked at my consumer reports and noticed accounts I never gave anyone permission to report. Consumer reporting agencies have assumed a vital role and have a responsibility to report consumer information to the best of their ability with maximum possible accuracy like the Fair Credit Reporting Act clearly states. I did not provide written consent to report them. Please see attached file for these items I am complaining.
