Company: Zions Debt Holdings
State: NV

Complaint narrative:
Re : Complaint Against Zions Debt Holdings Violation of FDCPA ( Case Number : XXXX ) Dear Sir/Madam, I am writing to file a formal complaint against Zions Debt Holdings for violating my consumer rights under the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act ( FDCPA ). 

On XX/XX/year>, I sent a Cease and Desist letter to Zions Debt Holdings, requesting that they cease all communication with me through any and all mediums, including reporting the alleged debt to credit bureaus. However, despite my request, Zions Debt Holdings ignored this instruction and contacted me on XX/XX/year>, with the following communication : " We purchased your XXXX alarm account. Your balance owed is {$1400.00}. We are willing to settle for {$500.00}, if paid by XX/XX/year>. Pay online at XXXX with account # XXXX. If you settle the account, we offer full deletion from the credit bureaus. '' This communication constitutes an FDCPA violation, as Zions Debt Holdings proceeded to contact me in direct violation of my written request to cease all communication, which includes communication to credit bureaus. As of today, Zions Debt Holdings is still reporting this alleged debt on my consumer credit report. 

Additionally, Zions Debt Holdings has failed to provide me with the following, as required by FDCPA Section 1692g and other applicable laws : The original signed contract or agreement with my wet ink signature binding me into ac contract with Zions debt holdings. I have not signed any contract with them, nor did I authorize them to have access or purchase to my personal information, which constitutes Identity theft. 
as a consumer only I can validate a debt and I do not validate this alleged debt. They have yet to provide the chain of assignment, Without the proper chain of assignment, they lack legal standing to collect on this alleged debt. Further, under the FDCPA, an account is not defined, and without evidence of a valid assignment or contract, Zions Debt Holdings has failed to prove they own or have legal rights to the alleged debt. 
I request that the CFPB conduct a thorough investigation into Zions Debt Holdings for their malice and defiant disregard of my consumer rights under the FDCPA and for their unlawful actions in reporting this debt after being instructed to cease communication. 

Please reference case number XXXX for the ongoing investigation. I ask for your prompt attention to this matter and request an update regarding the actions taken to resolve this issue. 

Thank you for your time and assistance in this matter.

Complaint narrative:
I am writing to dispute several unauthorized inquiries on my credit report, in accordance with my rights under the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ), specifically sections 611 ( 15 U.S.C. 1681i ), 609 ( 15 U.S.C. 1681g ), and 604 ( 15 U.S.C. 1681b ).

After reviewing my recent credit report, I have identified the following inquiries that I do not recognize or authorize : XXXX XX/XX/XXXX Equifax XXXX XXXX XXXX XX/XX/XXXX Experian XXXX XX/XX/XXXX Equifax XXXX XXXX XXXX XX/XX/XXXX Experian XXXX XX/XX/XXXX Equifax Section 611 ( 15 U.S.C. 1681i ) states that I have the right to dispute any inaccurate or incomplete information on my credit report. I request that you investigate these unauthorized inquiries and remove them from my credit report.

Section 609 ( 15 U.S.C. 1681g ) grants me the right to access all information in my file, including the inquiries made. After reviewing this information, I firmly believe that the inquiries listed above should not be on my report.

Section 604 ( 15 U.S.C. 1681b ) defines the permissible purposes for obtaining credit reports. I did not give my consent for these inquiries to be made, and I can not find a permissible purpose under this section that justifies their presence on my report.

Request I request an immediate investigation into the listed inquiries. If it is determined that these inquiries were made without my authorization or in error, I ask that they be removed from my credit report. I also request that you provide me with an updated copy of my credit report once the necessary corrections have been made.

Enclosed is a copy of my identification to verify my identity.

I appreciate your prompt attention to this matter. Please confirm receipt of this letter and keep me informed of the progress of your investigation.

Complaint narrative:
The Consumer Financial Protection Bureau ( CFPB ) has documented Equifaxs repeated failure to properly investigate consumer disputes, even leading to legal action for violating the FCRA. This continued pattern of noncompliance is unacceptable, and I will not allow my credit profile to suffer due to negligence on your part. Federal law ( 15 U.S.C. 1681i ) clearly states that Equifax is required to conduct a thorough reinvestigation of disputed information within 30 days. Any item that can not be 100 % verified must be deleted immediately. I demand that these errors be corrected without delay, as they are actively harming my financial standing. Continued noncompliance will not be ignored. 

The following inaccurate accounts are still being reported : XXXX, account number XXXX, reporting balance of {$880.00} ; XXXX XXXX XXXX account number XXXX, reporting balance of {$2100.00} ; XXXX XXXX XXXX account number XXXX, reporting balance of {$10000.00} ; XXXX XXXX XXXX, account number XXXX, reporting balance of {$220.00} ; XXXX, account number XXXX, reporting balance of {$0.00} ; XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX account number XXXX XXXX reporting balance of {$970.00} ; XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX account number XXXX XXXX reporting balance of {$1200.00} ; XXXX, account number XXXX, reporting balance of {$620.00}.
