Product: Debt collection — I do not know
Issue: Written notification about debt — Didn't receive notice of right to dispute
Company: ENCORE CAPITAL GROUP INC.
State: CA

Complaint narrative:
I am writing to formally dispute the collection account that Midland Credit Management ( MCM ) has reported on my consumer credit report. MCM has failed to meet the legal requirements for validating and disclosing details of the alleged debt under federal law, specifically 12 CFR 1006.34 and 15 USC 1681-s2 ( a ) ( 7 ).

The following violations are evident : Failure to Provide Required Validation Information ( 12 CFR 1006.34 ( b ) ( 5 ) ) MCM has not provided any validation details required under 12 CFR 1006.34 ( b ) ( 5 ), such as the exact nature and amount of the debt, which denies me the ability to understand or verify the accuracy of this alleged obligation.

Failure to Provide Opportunity for Dispute ( 12 CFR 1006.34 ( c ) ( 4 ) ( i ) ) MCM reported this debt to credit bureaus without giving me a legitimate opportunity to dispute it. This is a direct violation of 12 CFR 1006.34 ( c ) ( 4 ) ( i ), which protects my right to challenge or verify the debt before it is reported.

Misleading and Inaccurate Reporting MCMs actions have resulted in inaccurate and misleading information being reported on my credit file. This misinformation has led to unwarranted damage to my credit and reputation.

Lack of Authority to Report without Full Disclosures ( 12 CFR 1006.34 ( d ) and 15 USC 1681-s2 ( a ) ( 7 ) ) Without fully providing the legally mandated disclosures, MCM lacks the authority to report this debt under 12 CFR 1006.34 ( d ) and 15 USC 1681-s2 ( a ) ( 7 ). This non-compliance is unlawful and has caused severe impacts on my credit.

Complaint narrative:
I am filing this complaint due to erroneous and conflicting reporting of my XXXX funding account and citizen XXXX account on XXXX separate credit bureau reports, which impacts my creditworthiness and violates my rights under the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ), 15 U.S.C. 1681 et seq. 

XXXX is stated as closed on XXXX, yet opened on trans union and experian and citizens XXXX account is stated as closed on XXXX but opened on trans union and XXXX. This inconsistency not only confuses creditors but also adversely impacts my credit score, resulting in financial harm. Attached is documentation of these disputes and the differing reports. 

Under FCRA 1681e ( b ), credit reporting agencies must follow reasonable procedures to ensure maximum possible accuracy. Case law, including Cushman v. Trans Union Corp., 115 F.3d 220 ( 3d Cir. 1997 ), underscores the duty of credit reporting agencies to verify disputed information with a higher level of care. Failure to correct discrepancies after notice constitutes a breach of this duty. Furthermore, Dennis v. BEH-1, LLC, 520 F.3d 1066 ( 9th Cir. 2008 ), highlights the adverse effects that inaccurate information can have on an individuals creditworthiness and underscores the necessity of accurate reporting. 

This discrepancy amounts to a violation of my rights under the FCRA and causes me undue financial harm. In addition to conflicting reports, the persistence of inaccurate information could mislead prospective creditors and damage my credit profile.

XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX DATE OF BIRTH : XX/XX/XXXX SSN : XXXX XX/XX/XXXX Dispute of Unauthorized Credit Inquiries.

To Whom It May Concern, I am writing to dispute several unauthorized inquiries on my credit report, in accordance with my rights under the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ), specifically sections 611 ( 15 U.S.C. 1681i ), 609 ( 15 U.S.C. 1681g ), and 604 ( 15 U.S.C. 1681b ).

I request that you investigate these unauthorized inquiries and remove them from my credit report.

Section 609 ( 15 U.S.C. 1681g ) grants me the right to access all information in my file, including the inquiries made. After reviewing this information, I firmly believe that the inquiries listed above should not be on my report.

Section 604 ( 15 U.S.C. 1681b ) defines the permissible purposes for obtaining credit reports. I did not give my consent for these inquiries to be made, and I can not find a permissible purpose under this section that justifies their presence on my report.

Enclosed is a copy of my identification to verify my identity. I appreciate your prompt attention to this matter.

Here I attach, along with the dispute, my fraud report that I just sent to TRANSUNION for the second time so that these questions can be removed, hoping that this time this problem will be completely resolved.

I demand that the above inquiries be deleted from my credit file because they are causing irreparable harm to my name and good character as well as my overall credit capacity.

Best regards, XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX

Complaint narrative:
On XX/XX/XXXX, I was offered a position with a company that ultimately proved to be a scam. They requested that I purchase {$400.00} in gift cards, claiming the funds were intended for an orphanage. After purchasing the gift cards, I attempted to return them immediately ; however, the store did not accept returns for gift cardsa policy that was not disclosed prior to purchase. I did not redeem the cards.

I then filed a fraud claim with Wells Fargo under the reason Goods or services not as described, and was initially credited the {$400.00}. Despite an assurance from a Wells Fargo representative that the claim would be processed smoothly, the claim was denied on XX/XX/XXXX. Additionally, I was informed the review process would take 10 business days, but this timeline was not honored. After contacting them again, they reopened the claim, yet the extended and inconsistent handling of this process has been frustrating and unprofessional.

Complaint narrative:
My account was never late! I have had exceptional payment history all payments were placed on Autopay. This late payment that is reporting is a result on a systematic error on their end processing my payment.

This was clearly a billing error made my the company and is not a reflection of my payment experience which violates USC Code 1681eb. This error has caused severe hard to my reputation, my character, my mode of living and to my family!

I demand the late payment to be updated.

They are not in compliance with the following law. 15 USC 1666b and its requirements set the standards and the guidance for a creditor to treat a payment as late, yet they are reporting a payment as late and they did not comply with the law!

15 USC 1666b ( a ) Time to make payments A creditor may not treat a payment on a credit card account under an open end consumer credit plan as late for any purpose, unless the creditor has adopted reasonable procedures designed to ensure that each periodic statement including the information required by section 1637 ( b ) of this title is mailed or delivered to the consumer not later than 21 days before the payment due date.

Never Sent the periodic statement along with the disclosures from section 1637 ( b ).

I have requested proof that this information was mailed or delivered 21 days before the payment due date and this information was requested in good faith pursuant rule 1002 and It was never provided.

This is unfair, illegal, fraudulent, and not equitable to me as a consumer!

Update the late payments from my consumer reports
