Complaint narrative:
The Fair Credit Reporting Act ( 15 U.S. Code 1681 ) says ( XXXX ) 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 TILA US Code 1666B since I was never late.

Product: Debt collection — I do not know
Issue: Attempts to collect debt not owed — Debt is not yours
Company: CL Holdings LLC
State: SC

Complaint narrative:
I am writing to formally file a complaint against Jefferson Capital Systems , LLC regarding their ongoing attempts to collect a debt I do not owe and their reporting of this false debt to credit reporting agencies. 

I have no contractual agreement with Jefferson Capital Systems, nor have I ever authorized or acknowledged any account with them. Their actions are unlawful, deceptive, and in violation of both federal and South Carolina consumer protection laws. 

Specifically : Jefferson Capital Systems has reported a debt to the credit bureaus under my name that is false and unauthorized. 

I have no business relationship or signed agreement with their company.

I am demanding that all collection activities cease immediately in accordance with the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act ( FDCPA ), 15 U.S.C. 1692c ( c ).

Their continued reporting of this disputed debt violates the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ), 15 U.S.C. 1681s-2, which prohibits furnishing inaccurate or unverifiable information to consumer reporting agencies.

Under South Carolina Code 37-5-108, this conduct may also constitute unconscionable debt collection practices.

Complaint narrative:
I previously filed a formal complaint with the Federal Trade Commission ( FTC ) regarding unauthorized inquiries on my credit report. The reference number for that complaint is XXXX, filed on XX/XX/XXXX. 
Complaint Description : My credit report contains unauthorized inquiries that were made without my consent. Upon contacting the creditors responsible for these inquiries, they confirmed they have no evidence that I initiated these inquiries and lack any written or verbal authorization from me. 
Due to the lack of valid grounds for these inquiries, I formally requested their immediate removal. The credit bureau in question has not provided a satisfactory response, which is why I filed a complaint with the FTC.

I am submitting this complaint to formally request the immediate removal of a fraud alert from my credit file. 

My name is XXXX XXXX, and I previously requested a fraud alert as a precautionary measure. However, I no longer believe this alert is necessary. Despite my written request to have the alert removed, it remains on my credit file.

Under the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ), I have the right to add or remove fraud alerts from my credit report as needed. Keeping this alert in place is now causing unnecessary obstacles and delays in my financial activities, including credit approvals and account openings.

I am attaching valid identity verification documents, including my government-issued ID and proof of address, to support this request.

I am requesting that the credit reporting agency promptly : Remove the fraud alert from my credit report Provide written confirmation once the removal has been completed I appreciate CFPBs assistance in resolving this issue with the credit reporting agency.

Complaint narrative:
I am formally disputing several inaccuracies currently appearing on my credit report, specifically unauthorized and inaccurate accounts and credit inquiries that I did not initiate or approve. These entries represent a violation of the Fair Credit Reporting Act, particularly 15 U.S. Code 1681i, which requires a proper reinvestigation of disputed items, and 1681e ( b ), which mandates that information reported must be accurate to the maximum extent possible. In addition, I am disputing a potentially misreported late payment. According to 15 U.S.C. 1666b, creditors must allow at least 21 days between the statement date and the payment due date before classifying a payment as late. Based on my records, this standard may not have been met, or the payment was submitted on time and inaccurately reported as delinquent.

This information is the result of identity theft and must be removed within four ( 4 ) business days of your receipt of this request.

The disputed information includes a personal credit card account that was fraudulently opened in my name, as well as several unauthorized hard inquiries and collections that have subsequently appeared on my consumer FICO credit report.

I do not recognize these accounts, collections, or inquiries, and I did not authorize or initiate any of them. 
These entries are fraudulent, inaccurate, and not reflective of any legitimate financial activity on my part. They are entirely the result of identity theft. 
To support this request, I have included the following documentation : A list of the fraudulent hard inquiries in question A copy of my consumer FICO credit report showing the disputed accounts, collections, and inquiries A copy of the FTC Identity Theft Report ( Complaint # [ Private ] ) verifying that I am a victim of identity theft and that the above items were fraudulently created Please act promptly in compliance with FCRA 605B and block all fraudulent accounts, collections, and hard inquiries as outlined above from my credit file.
