Despite my efforts to seek clarification from the creditors, they have shamefully failed to provide the necessary information. I demand immediate action and transparency from the creditors. The creditors must provide detailed information on each account and inquiry, including dates, purposes, and types of credit products involved, furnish relevant application documents, and present evidence of explicit authorization for each inquiry.

Issue: Incorrect information on your report — Account status incorrect
Company: CCS Financial Services, Inc.
State: GA

Complaint narrative:
I am filing this formal complaint against XXXX XXXXXXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX and Credit Collection Services for multiple violations of the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act ( FDCPA ) and Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ) concerning an allegedly delinquent account that is being illegally reported on my consumer credit report. 

Details of the Violations : Creditor/Collector : Credit Collection Services Account Number : XXXX Credit Bureau Reporting : XXXX This collection account was added to my credit report without any proper debt validation as required under FDCPA, 15 U.S.C. 1692g. I was never provided written notice of the debt or given the opportunity to dispute it within the 30-day window. Reporting this account without validation is a clear violation of my consumer rights. 

In addition, this account is actively updating the payment history, which is falsely manipulating the date of last activity. This practice artificially extends the statute of limitations, potentially subjecting me to prolonged collection attempts and inaccurately affecting my creditworthiness. Such conduct may be a form of re-aging, which is illegal under the FCRA, 15 U.S.C. 1681c ( a ) ( 4 ) and a deceptive practice under FDCPA, 15 U.S.C. 1692e. This is an intentional and harmful violation of federal law that must
be addressed immediately.

Pre-Litigation Notice : This letter shall serve as a formal notice of intent to pursue legal action if the account is not promptly deleted. I will file suit under 15 U.S.C. 1692k and 15 U.S.C. 1681n/o for damages related to violations of my rights under the FDCPA and FCRA, including statutory damages, punitive damages, and attorneys fees.

Thank you for your time and immediate attention to this matter.

Company: Lendmark Financial Services
State: LA

Complaint narrative:
I am XXXX XXXX military. I recently XXXX  to Louisiana XX/XX/XXXX. I have a loan from a lender named lendmark. That was opened XXXX and refinanced in XXXX. My entry into service was XXXX. Now XXXX a little familiar with the XXXX, and I understand normally its for loans prior to entry to service. However when I got to LA I was informed that LA operates different and its XXXX is for loans prior or after entry into service. And I had this confirmed with XXXX federal who honored it with XXXX of my loans with them. So I tried with this lendmark place. I had emailed their department on XX/XX/XXXX who handles things like that and attached my XXXX XXXX orders to LA and also attached the Louisiana XXXX XXXX in the message as well as a link to the law. They never got it so I had to send it again on XX/XX/XXXX. On XX/XX/XXXX I received a letter from them. It simply stated I dont qualify because my loan is after date of entry to service. Nowhere does it even mention the Louisiana XXXX law, which is odd because thats why I emailed them. So I called that department directly and spoke to a representative who literally was unable to provide any information on why they are not honoring a state law. Because my loan should qualify its not a federal loan or anything. He was unable to provide anything. I even asked why the letter did not mention the LA XXXX. Id also like to note I am learning a new job, dealing with my deceased fathers estate in a whole other state so I am very busy but a few weeks after that phone call I called my branch that i opened the loan up originally, the lendmark in XXXX Virginia. Because I wanted to finally see if I can get more clarification. First off the lady was extremely rude, she was like you keep calling about this you dont qualify and she said its because XXXX in Virginia not Louisiana. Which I dont think matters at all however I was like then why did you service department letter that was sent to me not state that? It only stated that my loan was after entry to service. I had to call back because she was extremely rude. And I spoke to someone else, and her answers were not much different. I really would like clarification because they seem to be conflicting on reasons why they dont honor it for me, I want know why its not honored. I told them this isnt a XXXX law. This is XXXX XXXX. I didnt move here by choice, and I deserve to take advantage of opportunities that are given to me due to being XXXX XXXX military and the hardships from moving. XXXX XXXX granted this without question and also clarified its a real thing. At first I didnt believe it much. So I wanted to know why lendmark refuses to honor it.
