XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX, PA XXXXXXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX : Demand for Immediate Discharge of Invalidated XXXX XXXX XXXX ( Account Ending in XXXX ), Removal of All Data from Credit Reports, and Maximum Legal Remedies for FDCPA, FCRA, and CFPA Violations Complaint Details : What Happened On XX/XX/XXXX, Transworld Systems Inc. ( TSI ) sent a letter in response to my debt validation request for an XXXX XXXX ( XXXX ) account ending in XXXX, which I disputed as fraudulent. TSI claimed to validate the debt by providing copies of statements and a card member agreement, but these documents lack a wet-ink signature, IP logs proving authorization, or a chain of title showing TSIs legal right to collect. This account is part of a broader pattern of fraudulent accounts opened by business funding operations from which I received no value, as evidenced by my FTC Identity Theft Report XXXX XXXXXXXX ( filed XX/XX/XXXX ) and prior CFPB complaints against XXXX ( XXXX XXXXXXXX, XXXX ) and XXXX XXXX XXXX ( XXXX XXXX XXXX ). 

An Assignment and XXXX XXXX XXXX dated XX/XX/XXXX, between XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXXXXXX XXXX and XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX ( XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX ) suggests this XXXX debt may have been sold to XXXX, raising further questions about TSIs standing ( Image ID : XX/XX/XXXX ). Despite my disputes, XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX continue reporting this account, including charge-offs and late payments, without verification ( Chat ID : XX/XX/XXXX CRA Letter XXXX. TSIs failure to validate and the CRAs sham investigations mirror systemic issues in the CFPBs lawsuits against XXXX  ( XX/XX/XXXX ) and XXXX ( XX/XX/XXXX ) for inadequate dispute handling.
