Complaint narrative:
I am filing a complaint again regarding inaccuracies that remain on my credit file, despite my prior disputes. After reviewing my report carefully, I found several items that do not reflect my financial history and are causing harm to my creditworthiness. 
XXXX of these items is a late-closed account with XXXX XXXX XXXX account number XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX  showing a XXXX balance. The reporting of this account is inaccurate and does not reflect the proper status or closure. Under FCRA 607 ( b ) 15 U.S.C. 1681e ( b ), consumer reporting agencies must maintain information with maximum possible accuracy. Furthermore, FCRA 611 ( a ) 15 U.S.C. 1681i ( a ) provides me the right to dispute inaccurate information and require a reinvestigation, and FCRA 623 ( a ) ( 2 ) 15 U.S.C. 1681s-2 ( a ) ( 2 ) holds furnishers accountable for reporting accurate information. Because this account does not meet these requirements, it must be removed from my credit report. 
Additionally, there is a collection account with XXXX XXXX XXXX, account number XXXX * * *, showing a balance of {$360.00}. This account is reported inaccurately and without proper verification. Reporting a collection without verification violates Section 605B 15 U.S.C. 1681c-2 and FCRA 611 ( a ) 15 U.S.C. 1681i ( a ). I am requesting this collection account be removed unless proper validation can be provided. 
Finally, my report contains multiple inquiries that were not authorized, including : XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXXXX/XX/XXXX The inclusion of these inquiries violates FCRA 619 15 U.S.C. 1681q, which prohibits obtaining information under false pretenses, as well as FCRA 604 ( f ) 15 U.S.C. 1681b ( f ) and FCRA 604 ( a ) 15 U.S.C. 1681b ( a ), which restrict access to consumer reports to permissible purposes only. Since these inquiries were not authorized, they must be removed from my credit file.

Complaint narrative:
XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX RE : Request for Reopening of Complaint Case ID XXXX To Whom It May Concern, I am writing to formally request that the CFPB reopen and escalate my complaint ( Case ID : XXXX ) regarding XXXXXXXX XXXX XXXXs inaccurate reporting on my credit file. 

On XX/XX/XXXX, I filed a complaint concerning conflicting payment dates being reported for my XXXX XXXX XXXX account. The matter was forwarded to the company the same day. However, the company did not provide a response until XX/XX/XXXX, which is 48 days later. 

Under the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ) 611 ( a ) ( 1 ) ( A ), reinvestigations must be completed within 30 days, or 45 days if additional information is provided. The companys response was outside the statutory timeframe and therefore noncompliant. 

Despite this violation, the complaint was marked Closed with non-monetary relief, and the only action taken was to mark the account as in dispute. This does not resolve the harm caused by the failure to comply with the FCRAs deadlines, nor does it correct the underlying inaccuracy. 

I am demanding : XXXX. That this complaint be reopened and escalated for review. 
XXXX. That the CFPB require XXXX and the credit bureaus to provide full relief under the FCRA, specifically the deletion of the XXXXXXXX XXXX XXXX  account from my credit reports due to the untimely reinvestigation. 

Please update me in writing regarding the status of this escalation. 

Sincerely, XXXX XXXX

Company: ENCORE CAPITAL GROUP INC.
State: GA

Complaint narrative:
I submitted a dispute to XXXX  concerning an account reported by the debt buyer, Midland Credit Management. My dispute was highly specific and targeted a key piece of technical data. I challenged the accuracy of the reported Date of First Delinquency ( DOFD ), stating that under the Fair Credit Reporting Act, the debt buyer is required to report the date from the original creditor. 

I demanded that XXXX XXXX investigation obtain verifiable proof of this original DOFD from Midland. 

On XX/XX/year>, XXXX  concluded its investigation and stated the account was verified and would not be changed. This is an unreasonable investigation. XXXX  failed to address my specific dispute. They appear to have simply accepted the debt buyer 's claim without requiring any documentation for the precise data point I challenged. This failure to properly investigate violates XXXXXXXX XXXX duties under the FCRA.

Complaint narrative:
I previously submitted a dispute concerning numerous inaccuracies appearing on my credit report. However, after reviewing the results of that investigation, I have determined that many of the reported issues remain unresolved, inaccurately reported, or unverifiable. 
These continued discrepancies misrepresent my true credit history and create an incomplete and misleading picture of my financial responsibility. I am therefore submitting this third-round dispute pursuant to the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ), 15 U.S.C. 1681 et seq., and formally request a comprehensive and immediate reinvestigation of all disputed items. I expect that each item will be thoroughly reviewed, corrected, updated, or removed as required by federal law to ensure the accuracy and integrity of my credit report.

I am writing to formally request debt validation for a collection account mentioned in a letter I recently received. Under my rights through the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act ( FDCPA ), I ask that your office provide clear proof that the debt is valid. This should include the name of the original creditor, the amount owed, a full payment record, and proof that I am responsible for this debt. 

I am making this request to ensure the information being reported is accurate and not the result of a mistake, fraud, or confusion. While waiting for proper validation, I ask that you pause all collection activity and reporting related to this account, as allowed by law.

Complaint narrative:
I am filing this complaint because all three nationwide credit bureaus have failed to comply with 15 U.S.C. 1681c-2 of the Fair Credit Reporting Act. Despite providing the required documentation, the bureaus have not blocked the fraudulent accounts and collections as the law requires. 

The following accounts are fraudulent and should have been deleted within 4 business days : XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX , charge-off {$1800.00} The bureaus refusal to block these accounts violates 1681c-2 ( a ) ( c ), which explicitly requires deletion within 4 business days once an identity theft report is provided. The statute does not require a police report, so their continued reporting is unlawful.
