Product: Debt collection — Medical debt
Issue: Attempts to collect debt not owed — Debt is not yours
Company: Jon Barry and Associates, Inc.
State: NC

Complaint narrative:
I have never received any letters from the debt collections company, I have only seen it pop up on my credit report. I have called the Paragon from the number listed on XXXX and requested a debt validation on XX/XX/2022 and never received it. I called again today ( XX/XX/2022 ) and while they claim to have sent it XX/XX/2022 I still have not received anything. I called the provider ( XXXX XXXX ) and they confirmed all of my accounts are current with none being in collections. The amount also does not match any of my billed amounts over the past 3 years. This is highly damaging to my credit and reputation as I have taken a hit to my credit of over XXXX points due to this. I have done everything in my power to get this resolved with no help or cooperation from the debt collection company.

Issue: Improper use of your report — Credit inquiries on your report that you don't recognize
Company: TRANSUNION INTERMEDIATE HOLDINGS, INC.
State: PA

Complaint narrative:
I am writing this complaint on be half of myself an no other. I the consumer did not consent too nor authorize these inquiries that are reporting to my Transunion consumer report. I did not give my permissible consent to none of these corporations to obtain my consumer report from Transunion. I did not give them my written consent to obtain my consumer report per section 15 USC 1681n ( b ). Transunion sold my information to these corporations and got paid for the credit sale. Federal law states that any corporation whom obtains a consumer report from a consumer reporting agency knowingly without permissible purposes shall be liable to the consumer reporting agency for actual damages in {$1000.00} per section 15 USC 1681n ( c ). I sent Transunion an identity theft report via USPS certified mail. Is Transunion above the law? How are they able to share my consumer report without them contacting me for my consent to share my report with these corporations. Transunion humiliated me to the public and damaged my reputation. If Transunion can provide me a copy of credit application authorizing the disclosure of my files with my actual signature, I will accept the inquiries. If such application is removed I demand these inquiries be blocked and removed from my consumer report. I have gone to therapy for my anxiety because of the fraudulent activity that Transunion let concur on my consumer report. Transunion stole my identity and sold my private information without prior consent. I have a right to privacy and Transunion violated my privacy.

Product: Debt collection — Credit card debt
Issue: False statements or representation — Attempted to collect wrong amount
Company: The Bureaus, Inc.
State: IL

Complaint narrative:
On XX/XX/2022 and XX/XX/2022 I wrote to The Bureaus, Inc requesting that they validate an alleged debt they claimed is owed to them by me. In my letter I requested that they provide specific documentation of validation as pursuant 15 USC 1692g ( b ). However, they failed to address my very specific legal requests, and have continued to unlawfully report this purported debt in violation of my right to privacy and the cease and desist requests, submitted in my previous communications, as defined under the FDCPA. The instruments they provided did not validate their proof of claim as it did not include evidence of any legal instruments bearing my my signature or their lawful right to collect on this alleged debt ; nor did it contain the accounting ledger in accordance with 15 USC 44 that illustrates the amount they purchased this alleged debt for and the correct amount allegedly due. Under the FDCPA it is unfair or unconscionable to attempt to collect an alleged debt in any amount that is not expressly authorized by an agreement creating the debt or permitted by law. Their negligence and unlawful reporting of this alleged debt is causing me unwarranted stress and frustration, damaging my reputation and credit worthiness, and affecting my mode of living.
