Consumer complaint received 2025-02-27 00:00:00
Product: Credit reporting or other personal consumer reports — Credit reporting
Issue: Incorrect information on your report — Information belongs to someone else
Company: Experian Information Solutions Inc.
State: CA

Complaint narrative:
" 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. 

This is a violation of both 15 U.S. Code 1681b ( 2 ) and 15 U.S. Code 1681c-2. This leads way to civil liability against the credit reporting agency for negligent and willful noncompliance under 15 U.S. Code 1681n, which allows for {$1000.00} per violation, for each account listed without my expressed written consent.

I looked at my consumer reports and noticed accounts I never gave anyone permission to report. Consumer reporting agencies have assumed a vital role and have a responsibility to report consumer information to the best of their ability with maximum possible accuracy like the Fair Credit Reporting Act clearly states. I did not provide written consent to report them. ''

Company: TRANSUNION INTERMEDIATE HOLDINGS, INC.
State: TX

Complaint narrative:
Experian has failed to fulfill its legal obligation under the XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX ( FCRA ) to conduct a reasonable reinvestigation of disputed information credit report, leaving inaccurate or unverifiable accounts unresolved. The Consumer Financial Protection Bureau ( XXXX  ) has recently filed a lawsuit against Experian, alleging systemic issues such as failing to forward consumer-provided evidence to furnishers, accepting unreliable responses, and failing to adequately notify consumers of dispute outcomes. These failures align with my experience, where Experian has neither corrected nor removed disputed items despite the evidence I provided, causing ongoing harm to my credit standing. I am requesting immediate corrective action to remove or amend the disputed accounts, as Experian 's inaction violates federal law and my rights as a consumer.

Product: Debt collection — Rental debt
Issue: Attempts to collect debt not owed — Debt is not yours
Company: Rowland Avenue Management, Inc. A/KA Columbia Debt Recovery, LLC d/b/a Genesis
State: TX

Complaint narrative:
I am disputing a fraudulent rental debt that has been reported under my name by Columbia Debt Recovery, LLC dba Genesis, acting on behalf of XXXX, my former property management company. 

On [ Move-Out Date ], I fully paid all amounts owed at move-out, as documented in my move-out statement ( attached ). Despite this, XXXX erroneously sent a bogus charge to collections, and Genesis began collection efforts against me. 

On [ Date You First Contacted Genesis ], I contacted Genesis to request debt validation under the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act ( FDCPA, 15 U.S. Code 1692g ). Their representative failed to provide documentation proving the validity of the debt and eventually hung up on me when I attempted to dispute it. 

On [ Date You Mailed the Dispute Letter ], I sent a formal dispute letter via Certified Mail demanding validation of the debt, a breakdown of charges, and immediate cessation of collection efforts. Despite this, Genesis has continued collection activities without validating the debt, which is a violation of federal consumer protection laws. 

Actions I Have Taken : Paid all charges in full at move-out ( proof attached ). 
Requested debt validation from Genesis, which they refused to provide.

Filed a formal dispute letter via Certified Mail ( tracking available ).

Filed complaints with the State Attorney General and FTC.

Requested Resolution : Genesis must immediately cease all collection efforts. 
Genesis and XXXX must acknowledge that no debt is owed. 
Any negative credit reporting related to this collection attempt must be removed. 
XXXX must implement corrective measures to prevent future wrongful debt collection. 
This collection attempt is completely invalid, and I expect the CFPB to hold Genesis and XXXX accountable for their violations of the FDCPA and unlawful debt collection practices.
