Complaint narrative:
I am writing to follow up on the outcome of my recent disputes regarding inaccuracies on my credit reports. The consumer reporting agencies ( CRAs ) have indicated that the creditors have " validated '' the accounts in question. However, I am submitting this letter along with proof of Metro 2 compliance violations, which highlight inconsistencies and inaccuracies that demonstrate these accounts could not have been properly validated.

Accounts in Question are attached to this complaint Inconsistent Reporting Across CRAs : The reported accounts contain inconsistencies in key data fields, such as the balance amount, date of first delinquency, or payment history. This is a clear violation of Metro 2 compliance, which mandates uniformity in the reporting of credit data under the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA, 15 U.S.C. 1681 et seq. ).

Lack of Proper Validation : The FCRA obligates CRAs to conduct a reasonable investigation of disputed information. Given the attached evidence, it is evident that the investigation conducted was inadequate and failed to resolve discrepancies.

Failure to Correct or Delete Inaccurate Information : Pursuant to FCRA 1681i ( a ) ( 5 ), if an item is found to be inaccurate or unverifiable, the CRA must correct or delete the information. The CRAs reliance solely on creditor validation without addressing the evident inconsistencies violates this provision.

Metro 2 Data Reporting Standards : The Metro 2 format requires that data be accurately and consistently reported across CRAs. Attached, I have provided documentation showing that the accounts in question are non-compliant with these standards, which further calls into question their validity.

Applicable Laws Supporting My Claims FCRA 1681e ( b ) : CRAs are required to follow reasonable procedures to assure maximum possible accuracy in the consumers credit report. The inconsistencies and errors identified clearly violate this section.

FCRA 1681i ( a ) : When a consumer disputes information, the CRA must perform a reasonable reinvestigation. The lack of effort in resolving the discrepancies outlined herein suggests non-compliance with this requirement.

Fair Debt Collection Practices Act ( FDCPA ) : If the creditors reporting these accounts are considered debt collectors, their failure to validate these accounts may also violate 15 U.S.C. 1692g, which requires validation of debt upon dispute.

Complaint narrative:
I hope this letter finds you well. I am writing to address the inaccurate late payment listings on my consumer report, specifically concerning the accounts associated with CAPONEAUTO and XXXX, with the reported late payment dated on my credit report. This is my third attempt to resolve this matter amicably. 

I still noticed discrepancies in the information being furnished on my credit report. It is imperative to acknowledge that various federal laws are in place to safeguard consumer rights and ensure fair business practices. I would like to draw your attention to 15 USC 1666 ( B ) and 15 USC 1637 a ( a ), which explicitly prohibits reporting or treating a payment on an open-ended credit plan as late for any reason.

Furthermore, 15 USC 16819 ( B ) stipulates that as a consumer, I must grant permission for the furnishing of information on my behalf. To date, I have not provided such authorization to [ Name of Company Reporting Late Payment ]. Thus, the reporting of late payments without my consent is a violation of consumer protection laws.

Additionally, the billing errors identified under 15 U.S. Code 1666 ( b ) and 15 USC 1637 a ( a ), including the creditor 's failure to reflect payments properly on a statement and computation errors, further highlight the inaccuracies in the reported information. As per the Fair Credit Billing Act, the creditor is obligated to notify me at least 21 days before the due date if there are any discrepancies in the statement. Failure to do so renders any late payment designation as a billing error. The following items must be promptly updated to reflect " paid as agreed '' on my consumer report : CAPONEAUTO - XXXX I demand conclusive evidence from the creditor 's records demonstrating that the reported late payments were indeed justified and not the result of billing errors. Your persistent failure to rectify these inaccuracies not only tarnishes my consumer report but also undermines my financial standing. 

I hereby request that the late payment listings associated with the aforementioned accounts be promptly updated to reflect accurate information or removed entirely. Failure to comply will result in legal action seeking monetary compensation for violations of my rights under 15 USC 1681n civil liability.

Complaint narrative:
I have noticed several items on my credit report that I do not recognize. It appears that someone may have stolen my identity, as I did not authorize these accounts. I have previously raised this issue, and I am now requesting that these accounts be removed from my report immediately. The presence of these unauthorized accounts is causing me significant distress. They do not accurately reflect my credit history or financial management, and dealing with this issue has been challenging. If this matter is not resolved, I am prepared to pursue legal action to protect my rights and seek a resolution. These erroneous items on my credit report are significantly impacting my ability to achieve important financial goals, such as purchasing a home and supporting my family. I hope we can resolve this issue promptly.

Issue: Written notification about debt — Didn't receive notice of right to dispute
Company: NCB Management Services Inc.
State: GA

Complaint narrative:
I am submitting a complaint regarding a debt collection agency that reported a debt to a credit bureau before providing me with the required debt validation notice. Under the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act ( FDCPA ), specifically 15 U.S.C. 1692g, the debt collector is required to send a validation notice to me within five days of their initial contact, detailing the amount owed and how to dispute the debt.

In my case, the debt was reported to the credit bureau before I received the necessary notification. While the debt collector did eventually validate the debt upon my request, the initial reporting to the credit bureau was done prematurely, violating the provisions of the FDCPA.

Complaint narrative:
Subject : Complaint against XXXX XXXX and XXXX XXXX XXXX for FCRA Violations I, XXXX XXXX, am filing this complaint against XXXX XXXX and all three credit reporting agencies regarding their handling of my credit information and potential violations of the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ). 

On XX/XX/XXXX, I sent a dispute letter to Equifax concerning inaccurate information reported by XXXX XXXX on an alleged account. Despite my efforts to resolve these issues, the inaccuracies persist, demonstrating potential willful noncompliance with the FCRA by both XXXX XXXX and the reporting agencies. 

Key issues and potential violations include : Inconsistent Reporting : The XXXX Credit account is reported differently across credit bureaus : XXXX reports a closed account with a Date Last Active of XX/XX/XXXX XXXX reports a closed account with a Date Last Active of XX/XX/XXXX Equifax reports an open account with a Date Last Active of XX/XX/XXXX Balance Discrepancies : All three bureaus report a balance of {$9100.00}, which conflicts with the account 's reported closed status. 

High Balance Inconsistencies : XXXX and XXXX report a high balance of {$15000.00}, while Equifax reports {$9100.00}. 

Account Status Discrepancies : XXXX and XXXX report the account as closed, while Equifax reports it as open. 

Potential FCRA Violations : Section 1681e ( b ) : Failure to follow reasonable procedures to ensure maximum possible accuracy of information Section 1681c : Possible reporting of outdated negative information Section 1681s-2 ( a ) ( 1 ) ( A ) : Furnishing inaccurate information if the debt has been paid or settled Section 1681i : Failure to properly investigate and correct disputed information Continued Reporting of Inaccurate Information : Despite my disputes, the inaccurate information persists, suggesting a failure to conduct proper reinvestigations as required by FCRA Section 1681i ( a ) ( 1 ).

Potential Outdated Information : The account may be beyond the 7-year reporting limit for negative information, as it was opened in XXXX and is now being reported as a charge-off and many other things. 

I request that the CFPB investigate these issues and ensure that XXXX XXXX and all three credit reporting agencies comply with all applicable consumer protection laws. I seek correction of any inaccurate information reported to credit bureaus, proper investigation of my disputes, and any other appropriate remedies for the potential violations of the FCRA. 

Thank you for your attention to this matter.
