Company: TRANSWORLD SYSTEMS INC

Complaint narrative:
IDENTITY THEFT I have contacted all parties involved associated with the fraudulent activities associated with my name, NUMEROUS times. I Have Let Them Know! A Violation of 15 USC 1611. The only answer I get is it is accurate, but I disagree with the decision! Which I DO DISAGREE Because this isnt my debit. Rightfully I should not be held accountable for someone else using my information. I have provided police reports, copies of my identification card, social security number and card, I have even sent FTC affidavits. I was assaulted and robbed which is all in the police report. Per 15 U.S. Code 1611 Criminal liability for willful and knowing violations.

15 U.S. Code 1692K - The FDCPA, or Fair Debt Collection Practices Act, find its teeth in section k which imposes civil liability upon any person or business who violates the FDCPA.

15 U.S. 1681 - The banking system is dependent upon fair and accurate credit report- ing . 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.

Complaint narrative:
I am writing to formally complain about the ongoing issue of an unresolved late open account on my credit report. This is my second attempt to address and rectify this matter, as the issue persists and continues to negatively impact my credit history, causing significant financial harm and distress. 

I would like to provide a brief summary of my previous attempts and the current situation : I initially discovered the late open account on my credit report. I promptly initiated a dispute with your credit reporting agency, providing all the necessary evidence to show that this account was inaccurately reported as late.

After my initial dispute, I patiently awaited a resolution but received no satisfactory response. Despite the dispute, the late open account still remains on my credit report, adversely affecting my creditworthiness. 

Following my previous attempt, I have made a concerted effort to re-dispute and correct this account. I have contacted your agency, provided additional supporting documentation, and communicated with the creditor involved. However, the issue remains unresolved. 

This ongoing situation has caused me significant financial hardship and emotional distress. I have diligently followed all dispute procedures and expected a timely and accurate resolution of my credit history. 

I kindly request that you take immediate action to thoroughly investigate and correct this late open account on my credit report. I urge you to rectify this matter promptly, as it is imperative for my financial well-being and peace of mind. 

I am well aware of my rights under the Fair Credit Reporting Act and other applicable laws, and I am prepared to take further legal action to protect my rights and interests if this issue remains unresolved. I am asking for your assistance to correct the late open account : XXXX  XXXX XXXX Balance : {$1400.00}.

Product: Debt collection — Telecommunications debt
Issue: Written notification about debt — Didn't receive enough information to verify debt
Company: Southwest Credit Systems, L.P.
State: AL

Complaint narrative:
I sent a letter out to the collections agency in regards to a debt on XXXX XXXX by certified mail after receiving insufficient proof in regards to a debt that isnt mine. I wrote the debt collector to let them know that they have failed to provide proof of ownership. I was only sent a billing statement with no breakdown of what this money was for or anything that proves that I am the one that owes this debt. This has caused me financial distress because I am unable to obtain credit because of this collection that doesnt belong to me. 15 usc 1692 a ( 6 ) states that under written request, I, the consumer can request validation of alleged debt.

Complaint narrative:
Based on these two accounts : XXXX. XXXX. # XXXX XXXX. XXXX # XXXX In accordance with the Fair Credit Reporting Act, I filed a complaint with TransUnion, XXXX and XXXX that my consumer rights to privacy and confidentiality had been violated. 
15 U.S.C 1681 C section A ( 5 ) States no consumer reporting agency may report any consumer information containing any of the following items : 1. Any adverse item of information, other than records of convictions of crimes which antedates the report by more than 7 years.

I sent all three agencies certified letters stating the aforementioned consumer laws and still nothing was done.

The accounts must be deleted from my file if they can not abide by the rules and laws put in place by the government.

Issue: Unable to get your credit report or credit score — Problem getting your free annual credit report
Company: EQUIFAX, INC.
State: FL

Complaint narrative:
Under the Fair and Accurate Credit Transactions Act and the Fair Credit Reporting Act, I maintain that I have resided at the above referenced address for the past 3 years. I have listed under penalty of perjury my correct social security number and date of birth, and I would appreciate an updated credit report to be sent to me within the next five business days from XXXX, Equifax and XXXX XXXX collectively. I believe that each consumer reporting agency has invalidated the true spirit of the Fair and Accurate Credit Transactions Act. The Act first established XX/XX/2003 was intended to establish a plan whereas common American citizens could obtain a copy of their credit reports at least once a year free of charge. Since each credit reporting agency now has marketing divisions such as XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX, XXXX XXXX  and XXXX XXXX, the automation system to obtain the free annual reports is looped into an information request to steer citizens into additional product offers that are excessive and unnecessary. Even though I may have received an approval of an updated credit report from either XXXX, XXXX XXXX or Equifax respectively, it is unfair that I need to do a mail request since I can submit my personal information through the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau ( CFPB ) portal. I believe that since the CFPB is the sole responsible oversight party of the Fair Credit Reporting Act, its imperative that any additional solicitation of information from the credit bureaus should be blocked permanently. I along with any other citizen should receive a free credit report upon request. The credit reporting agencies are an important aspect of the national banking system to properly function, but the current aggressive marketing campaign soliciting citizens for an arbitrary FICO score has gone too far, including but not limited to XXXX XXXX. We must return to a common ground that is fair for all consumers in the United States, and we must be able to request additional marketing on our own terms. Accordingly, I am making a request for a free credit report with confirmation number to my attached address.
