Issue: Incorrect information on your report — Account information incorrect
Company: Experian Information Solutions Inc.
State: FL

Complaint narrative:
Account Number : XXXX. The late payment in question is reported by XXXX XXXX XXXX For the period of XX/XX/year>, XX/XX/year>, XX/XX/year>. I am submitting this complaint regarding inaccurate late payments that are reported on my credit file maintained by EXPERIAN. I believe these late payments are erroneous and do not accurately reflect my payment history. 

Nature of the Complaint : 1. Inaccurate Reporting : The late payments listed on my credit report are inaccurate. I have consistently made my payments on time, as I have been enrolled in autopay for all my accounts.

2. Violation of the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ) : The inaccurate reporting of these late payments violates my rights under the FCRA ( 15 USC 1666 ( b ) ), as they misrepresent my creditworthiness.

3. Potential Violation of Fair Debt Collections Practices Act ( FDCPA ) : The reporting of false late payments may also constitute a violation of the FDCPA, which protects consumers from misrepresentation regarding their accounts.

4. Truth in Lending Act ( TILA ) : I assert that the reporting practices violate the TILA, which mandates accurate reporting of credit information.

Additionally, the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ), specifically sections 15 U.S. Code 1681i and 15 U.S. Code 1681s-2, mandates that credit reporting agencies and information furnishers correct any inaccurate or incomplete information in credit reports and ensure the maximum accuracy of information contained in consumer files.

Furthermore, under the FCRA, articles 616 and 617 ( 15 U.S.C. 1681n and 1681o ) outline the civil liability for willful and negligent noncompliance, respectively. These provisions provide for damages, including actual damages, attorneys fees, and possible punitive damages, for failure to comply with the Act 's requirements.

Product: Debt collection — Rental debt
Issue: False statements or representation — Attempted to collect wrong amount
Company: National Credit Systems,Inc.
State: TN

Complaint narrative:
I am writing to formally dispute the accuracy and validity of a debt reported by National Credit Systems , Inc., acting on behalf of XXXX XXXX XXXX. I disputed the validity with XXXX and XXXX but the debt was validated despite wrong documentation from this creditor. I have requested and received documentation from National Credit Systems , Inc . However, the information provided includes conflicting details and lacks the legally binding documentation necessary to substantiate the claim.

Reasons for Dispute : The documentation submitted by National Credit Systems , Inc. fails to meet standard validation criteria due to the following issues : 1- Inconsistent Account Information : The records provided show discrepancies in the balance claimed, with conflicting amounts, wrong name, and reference to an incorrect apartment unit number. These inconsistencies raise serious questions about the accuracy and validity of the debt and record keeping practices.

2- Lack of Legally Binding Documentation : The provided invoice and summary letter do not constitute adequate proof of debt, as they lack my signature or other legally binding evidence of my contractual obligations.

To ensure the accuracy and legitimacy of this reported debt due to the inconsistent documentation, I respectfully request that CFPB require National Credit Systems , Inc. to provide the following : A- Original Signed Lease Agreement or Certified Copy : A complete, signed copy of the original lease agreement, clearly indicating my legal obligations as they relate to the alleged debt.

B- Full Payment Ledger : A comprehensive ledger of payments and charges, supported by original documentation, accurately reflecting the claimed balance.

C- Notice of Lease Termination or Relevant Signed Agreement : Any formal signed notice regarding the terms of my lease termination Invoices or generic account statements alone are insufficient, as they do not substantiate my legal obligation to pay, and may be generated by anyone without confirming my formal agreement or acknowledgment.

Given the inconsistencies and lack of proper documentation provided thus far, I request that CFPB carefully review this matter and, if National Credit Systems , Inc. can not furnish the requested documentation, remove the debt from my credit report.

Thank you for your attention to this matter. I look forward to your prompt response and am available to provide any further information necessary to resolve this dispute.

Complaint narrative:
I was about to switch cellphone companies from XXXX to XXXX XXXX XXXX. While on the phone talking to a XXXX representative, I told her EVERYTHING that I was doing so I wouldn't get billed later. She explained to me that the payment I was making was indeed my last payment because I had to also pay for a partial month. She told me that everything was done and paid and she asked if she could do anything to make me stay and I said no. Within a couple months they billed me for what I already paid and I called XXXX to clear it up and I was told it would be cleared. Every year around the same time the third party collectors will call and report it and place on my credit as new. I have built my credit up and I'm proud of that. If I felt like I owed them the money I would've paid it. It has been well over the 7 year mark for a cellphone BILL.

This company has repeatedly reported this collection on my consumer credit reports and will not provide proof of this account.

I have been trying to dispute this account and the company keeps saying it is accurate. I have also requested a copy of the original contract that I physically signed, supposedly agreeing to their payment terms when I opened the said account, but this company has not provided it. The said amount is XXXX stating the account was opened in XX/XX/year> which is inaccurate and unverifiable.
