Product: Credit reporting or other personal consumer reports — Credit reporting
Issue: Incorrect information on your report — Information belongs to someone else
Company: TRANSUNION INTERMEDIATE HOLDINGS, INC.
State: MN

Complaint narrative:
" I am writing to formally file a complaint regarding unauthorized accounts that persist on my credit report despite my repeated efforts to have them removed. These accounts are causing significant damage to my financial reputation and overall well-being. It is evident that the inclusion of these fraudulent items violates 15 USC 1681b regarding permissible purposes, as the credit bureaus have no legitimate reason to report them without my explicit consent. Please refer to the attached file detailing these items I am disputing.

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. ''

Company: NRA Group, LLC

Complaint narrative:
On XX/XX/year>, I sent a certified Debt Validation Letter to National Recovery Agency regarding a medical debt they are reporting on my credit report. USPS tracking confirms they received and signed for the letter on XX/XX/year>. As of XX/XX/year>, they have failed to respond or provide any form of validation. 

In addition to violating the FDCPA by continuing to report this account without proper validation, they are now also in violation of the CFPBs updated rule effective XX/XX/year>, which prohibits the inclusion of medical debts on consumer credit reports. Despite this policy change, the account is still being reported, damaging my credit profile and violating federal law.

Company: Law Office of Michael J. Scott, PC
State: TX

Complaint narrative:
In XX/XX/year>, I received a collection letter from XXXX XXXX XXXX regarding an alleged debt. On XX/XX/XXXX, I formally disputed the debt and requested validation under 15 U.S.C. 1692g, including : a signed contract, a full breakdown of the balance, proof of ownership transfer, and legal authority to collect in Texas. They responded with itemized statements and generic documents, but failed to provide any signed agreement, chain of title, or bond documentation as required by Texas Finance Code 392.101. 

I sent a second letter XX/XX/XXXX reiterating my request and noting their noncompliance. Their XX/XX/XXXX reply simply declared the debt verified, citing legal interpretations while again omitting key documentation. Their continued collection efforts despite insufficient validation violate the FDCPA and Texas law. I have now issued a final notice and am submitting this complaint as previously warned.

I do not own an XXXX  device, yet my account history clearly shows logins on XX/XX/XXXX from XXXX  PayPal App and Unknown Device. I had XXXX XXXX XXXXXXXX enabled, was not using public Wi-Fi, and did not click on phishing links.

PayPal closed the case claiming the activity was " consistent with my history, '' which is demonstrably false. 

My bank reviewed the activity and reversed the fraudulent transactions. Now PayPal is retaliating by claiming I owe them money that was stolen from me. They have refused to reopen the case or acknowledge the security breach. I am requesting that the CFPB intervene to : Ensure PayPal ceases collection efforts on fraudulent charges Require a full, fair re-investigation Prevent PayPal from misreporting this debt to credit agencies I have a PDF report with all supporting documentation and will provide it on request.

Company: PNC Bank N.A.
State: TX

Complaint narrative:
PNC Bank accepted a fraudulently altered and stolen {$4600.00} government-issued check via its mobile banking app. The check was issued by the Texas Comptroller and made payable to me. It was stolen from my mailbox, altered to reflect another persons name and address, and deposited using PNCs mobile check deposit. 

The back of the check includes : A handwritten note : " For PNC Mobile Deposit Only '' A PNC endorsement stamp I submitted : A notarized affidavit of forgery A copy of the altered check A police report A mail theft report A Grand Jury subpoena issued to PNC Bank Complaints to the Texas State Auditor and OCC Despite this overwhelming evidence, PNC has failed to indemnify the state or facilitate reissuance of the check. As a result, I have still not received the money that was legally owed to me. 

Under UCC 3-407 ( Alteration ) and 4-208 ( Presentment Warranties ), and Regulation CC, the bank that accepts a forged or altered item is responsible for the loss. PNC continues to delay resolution. 

Requested resolution : I am requesting that : PNC Bank accept liability as the bank of first deposit ( BOFD ) Reimburse the Texas Comptrollers Office Enable reissuance of the check Provide an explanation for the mishandling of this clear case of check fraud
