Complaint narrative:
Mailed letters on XX/XX/2024 to dispute inaccuracies on my account and each time I was mailed a stall letter saying they fell someone else as sent my information. This is a direct violation of the FCRA. Additionally there is NO law that states a consumer can not use a third party, so using that as your excuse is a irrelevant. In fact, the United States XXXX  has found the whole process so overwhelming that they afford consumers the right to use a third party on their behalf if the consumer so chooses. This is why your statement is so shameful. I reserve the right to sue a credit bureau for violations of the Fair Credit Reporting Act and I believe I can prove that you did not use reasonable measures to insure the accuracy of my credit reports and now you are stalling the process even further. I realize disputes can be expensive and it is your job to stall them, but you do so at great risk. Please take notice that this complaint is a formal notice to you that I am requesting that you continue forward with my original investigation request and please send the results to me within 15 days. I therefore legally and lawfully refuse your " form letter '' thus giving you only 15 days not 30 more. I am annoyed and outraged at your accusation and I have researched my rights in regards to my credit file. Please expedite my original request immediately.

Product: Credit reporting or other personal consumer reports — Credit reporting
Issue: Incorrect information on your report — Public record information inaccurate
Company: Experian Information Solutions Inc.
State: VA

Complaint narrative:
I am writing to file a formal complaint against Experian and XXXX, two of the major credit reporting agencies, for their failure to accurately report my credit information in accordance with the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ). Despite my efforts to dispute incorrect bankruptcy information listed on my credit reports provided by Experian and XXXX, both agencies have unjustly verified this information, directly impacting my ability to secure loans, credit lines, housing, and employment opportunities. 

According to my understanding, the FCRA mandates consumer reporting agencies to ensure the maximum possible accuracy of the information included in consumer credit reports. It also requires these agencies to conduct a thorough investigation of any disputed information upon receipt of a dispute from a consumer. Unfortunately, Experian and XXXX have failed to uphold these obligations. 

Furthermore, I have confirmed with the bankruptcy court in Virginia that they did not furnish my bankruptcy information to any credit bureaus, raising serious concerns about the source and verification process employed by Experian and XXXX. XXXX, another major credit reporting agency, does not report any bankruptcy information on my credit report, indicating a discrepancy in reporting and a failure by Experian and XXXX to assure maximum possible accuracy as required by law. 

I respectfully request the CFPB to intervene and ensure that Experian and XXXX adhere to the FCRA by conducting a proper investigation into my dispute and removing the inaccurately reported bankruptcy information from my credit reports immediately. The persistence of this incorrect information infringes on my rights and hinders my financial well-being.

Product: Debt collection — Payday loan debt
Issue: Took or threatened to take negative or legal action — Threatened or suggested your credit would be damaged
Company: Landmark Strategy Group, LLC
State: FL

Complaint narrative:
On XX/XX/XXXX the following complaint was submitted : I have attempted to dispute the claimed debt owed multiple times directly with the companies and with the credit reporting agencies to no avail. The companies continue to report unverified collection accounts even after I have asked for verification docs, account statements, original agreement copies, and proof of their legal right to even attempt to collect on the alleged debt - all requests have gone unanswered. I have requested this information in XX/XX/XXXX, XX/XX/XXXX, XX/XX/XXXX, XX/XX/XXXX XX/XX/XXXX, XX/XX/XXXX, XX/XX/XXXX, XX/XX/XXXX and XX/XX/XXXX with no response. According to the collection companies own websites/consumer portals - my information does not link to a record within their files yet they continue to claim and report thousands of dollars as owed to them to the credit reporting agencies. This fraud and their lack of being able to properly verify the debt should mean that the debt is uncollectible and therefore they should cease reporting the incorrect information and promptly remove the reported info linked to my personal info from all credit reporting agencies. 

Following this complaint, the collection company marked the account as closed with the credit agencies roughly 10 days after the complaint was made. The company stated they would mark the account as disputed. As of XX/XX/XXXX, the collection account has been reopened and shows an active balance due, the record does not state that I have disputed the account either. Further, the company stated they would send me info on the account and that never happened and it has been over 30 days since my original complaint. XXXX & XXXX XXXX XXXX continues to make false claims that a debt is owed when that debt has failed to have been verified. They are committing fraud at this point and the false claims have severely negatively impacted my credit- legally speaking, this is a damage and loss that I have full right to claim against them. Their actions are fraudulent and are construed to be harassment. 
They have failed multiple times to adequately respond to the dispute ( XXXX ) and they have failed to properly verify the alleged debt in the allotted time offered to them per FDCPA guidelines. Per FDCPA, FTC, FDIC and CFPB guidelines XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX is in violation of Federal regulations and State regulations and must be ordered to close the account, remove all negative remarks from any/all credit reporting and end all collection efforts regarding this alleged debt. Prompt action must be taken to resolve this matter.
