State: NY

Complaint narrative:
Im honestly stumped. Regardless of how many times I claim to be the individual writing this letter it seems this message is truly missed. For the record, Im the one whos initiating these disputes under my name. This item is UNKNOWN to ME. I dont get why youre claiming this is fraudulent or of a high risk nature. The documents Ive provided are legit. These are mine, filed with the appropriate agencies & support my position. Lets get the record straight!!! First of all I know that under Section 619 Obtaining information under false pretenses that any person who knowingly and willfully obtains information on a consumer from a consumer reporting agency under false pretenses shall be fined under title 18 United States Code, imprisoned for not more than 2 years, or both. Most importantly, Ive never sent my documentation to anyone else which seems to be a claim that constitutes high-risk due to potential fraud. According to FCRA 611 ( a ) ( 3 ) Determination That Dispute IsFrivolous or irrelevant ( A ) a consumer reporting agency may terminate a reinvestigation of information disputed by a consumer under that paragraph if the agency reasonably determines that the dispute by the consumer is frivolous or irrelevant, including by reason of a failure by a consumer to provide sufficient information to investigate the disputed information. ( B ) Notice of determination. 
Upon making any determination in accordance with subparagraph ( A ) that a dispute is frivolous or irrelevant, a consumer reporting agency shall notify the consumer of such determination not later than XXXX business days after making such determination, by mail or, if authorized by the consumer for that purpose, by any other means available to the agency. Again, under 617 Civil liability for negligent noncompliance [ 15U.S.C. 1681o ] a person who is negligent in failing to comply with any requirement imposed under this title with respect to any consumer is liable to that consumer in an amount equal to the sum of ( 1 ) any actual damages sustained by the consumer as a result of the failure; and ( 2 ) in the case of any successful action to enforce any liability under this section, the costs of the action together with reasonable attorneys fees as determined by the court.

Product: Debt collection — I do not know
Issue: Attempts to collect debt not owed — Debt is not yours
Company: Trust Financial LLC
State: UT

Complaint narrative:
Trust Financial, XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX, ID XXXX ( XXXX ) XXXX ( XXXX ) XXXX My first letter from Trust Financial LLC that I received was from XX/XX/XXXX. It claims they have tried to reach me in the past, but this is the first letter I have ever gotten from them. I do not recognize the debt so I contacted the original creditor that is XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX. I asked about their client XXXX XXXX there. The secretary looked up the client and said it obviously was not me, because the child is XXXX years old and they don't even have a Utah address in the system, so she doesn't even know how the debt collector would have even found my address. She told me it was most likely a scam. 
Going off of this information, I decided to ignore the letter, because it does seem to be a scam. No effort seemed to be done on Trust Financial LLC 's part to remotely validate the debt, other than possibly send the same letter to every XXXX XXXX they could find in hopes that someone or multiple people would pay it. I have no connection whatsoever to this debt they claim is for {$420.00}. I got a second letter from them on XX/XX/XXXX seeking to extract personal information from me as well as personal information about my wife. I sent them a letter stating the debt is not mine, they should do their own research to figure that out, and to never contact me again about it. I also returned the second informational letter to them blank without filling it out, despite the threat of legal action should I not fill it out.

Complaint narrative:
This is not a duplicate nor is this complaint filed by a third party. I am filing this complaint myself. Please see this complaint is processed to the letter of the law. Despite the multiple previous written requests, the unverified items listed below still remains on my credit report in violation of Federal Law. You are required under the FCRA to have a copy of the original creditor documentation on file to verify that this information is 100 % true, accurate & correct. In the results of your first investigation and subsequent reinvestigation ( XXXX ), you stated in writing that you verified that these items are being reported correctly? Who verified these accounts? You have NOT provided me a copy of ANY original documentation ( a consumer contract with my signature on it ) as required under Section 609 ( a ) ( 1 ) ( A ) & Section 611 ( a ) ( 1 ) ( A ). Furthermore, you have failed to provide the method of verification as required under Section 611 ( a ) ( 7 ). Please be advised that under Section 611 ( a ) ( 5 ) ( A ) of the FCRA you are required to ... promptly CORRECT or DELETE all information which can not be verified. Section 616 and Section 617 provide me with a remedy which Im about to seek. You are willful non-complying with the FCRA. Since you claim youve verified the accounts listed below I wanted to confirm my thoughts and contacted the company directly. They did not provide me with any verifiable proof. So, my question comes up again, WHO VERIFIED THESE ACCOUNTS? I believe you have not verified these accounts based on Section 609 ( a ) ( 1 ) ( A ) & Section 611 ( a ) ( 1 ) ( A ) & I will be seeking a legal remedy. The accounts below should be corrected at once : XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX
