I hope this message finds you well. I am writing to express my deep concern and disappointment regarding the persistent challenges I am facing in removing fraudulent items from my credit file. Despite multiple attempts to rectify this issue, the fraudulent entries remain, adversely impacting my creditworthiness. 

As outlined in my initial complaint, I reported unauthorized and fraudulent items on my credit file to XXXX Credit BureauS. Subsequent to that, I have made additional attempts to dispute and rectify these inaccuracies. However, to my dismay, the fraudulent items persist on my credit file, causing ongoing distress and financial implications.

Issue: Attempts to collect debt not owed — Debt is not yours
Company: ProCollect, Inc.
State: IL

Complaint narrative:
I am writing to file a formal complaint against ProCollect Inc., a debt collection agency, for multiple violations of fair debt collection practices and potential breaches of consumer rights. Despite my diligent efforts to address and resolve the issues directly with ProCollect, I have encountered numerous challenges that necessitate your intervention.

The debt in question, amounting to {$6200.00}, is alleged to be owed to XXXX XXXX XXXX. However, after thorough investigation, I have found that XXXX XXXX XXXX  has no record of my association with them. This discrepancy raises significant doubts about the accuracy and legitimacy of the debt being pursued by ProCollect Inc. 

Furthermore, my attempts to obtain essential information regarding the debt, including the account number and a comprehensive itemization of the current amount owed, have been consistently rebuffed by ProCollect Inc. This lack of transparency impedes my ability to verify the validity of the debt and raises concerns about the company 's compliance with fair debt collection practices. 

In addition to these issues, my interactions with ProCollect Inc. have been marred by unprofessional and intimidating behavior. I have been hung up on during calls on five separate occasions, and I have been subjected to threatening and profane language. Such conduct not only violates ethical standards but also raises questions about ProCollect Inc. 's adherence to legal guidelines governing debt collection.

Moreover, I have become aware of ProCollect Inc. 's notably low XXXX rating, suggesting a potential pattern of questionable practices. There are also allegations of " parked debt, '' a practice that could violate consumer protection laws. These factors underscore the urgency of investigating ProCollect Inc. 's activities and ensuring compliance with relevant regulations.

I am seeking the following actions through this complaint : Removal of erroneous information on my credit profile associated with this alleged debt.

Take appropriate measures to ensure ProCollect Inc. adheres to fair debt collection practices and consumer protection laws. I appreciate your attention to this matter and trust that the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau will conduct a thorough investigation to bring about a fair and just resolution.

Complaint narrative:
I trust this letter finds you well. I am writing to bring to your attention the matter of certain accounts associated with my credit profile, which I believe have exceeded the permissible reporting time limit as stipulated by the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ). 

Under the FCRA, Section 605 ( a ) ( 4 ), the maximum period for which certain negative information can be reported on a consumer 's credit report is seven years. This provision specifically refers to adverse items such as late payments, charge-offs, and collections. I have recently obtained a copy of my credit report and noticed that the aforementioned accounts have exceeded the statutory reporting period.

Furthermore, I would like to draw your attention to the legal consequences of willful and knowing violations of the FCRA, as outlined in 15 U.S. Code 1611. This section establishes criminal liability for individuals or entities that willfully and knowingly fail to comply with the FCRA 's XXXX. The penalties for such violations can include fines and imprisonment. 

XXXX. XXXXXXXX XXXX Account # XXXX or # XXXX or # XXXX Please delete or seek litigation XXXX. XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX Account # XXXX or Account # XXXX Please delete or seek litigation XXXX. XXXX XXXX XXXX Account # XXXX Please delete or seek litigation In support of my position, I would like to reference the legal precedent set in the case of XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXXXXXX XXXX ). This case serves as an illustrative example of the legal consequences that credit reporting agencies may face if they continue to report information beyond the permissible time limit.

Company: AMERICAN EXPRESS COMPANY
State: CA

Complaint narrative:
I have been entirely unable to use my AMEX gift card at most locations, despite the website saying that I can use it in all places that accept AMEX. I have been unable to use it at my local XXXX grocery store, on XXXX, and all online stores that I have tried to access. Frankly, this is entirely deceptive because I am clearly unable to use it despite me having a sufficient amount of funds on the card. I am in fact, NOT able to use it any place that accepts AMEX. 

I started with {$1000.00} on my card and currently have {$840.00} left, so I have more than enough to purchase small things from XXXX and the grocery store. I have had only three successful transactions on the card that occurred at XXXX, a donut shop, and XXXX. I have reached out to the company and have received absolutely no help whatsoever. I was told several times that I should be able to use the card, despite me making it very clear that I have had multiple declined transactions in very commonplace stores. When attempting to use the card online, I fulfilled all the requirements AMEX noted, making sure that the vendor asked for the CVV, card number, and zip code. However, my card was still declined repeatedly. 

I have attached a screenshot of an attempt to use my card on XXXX, which was apparently declined and instead charged my company card without my approval. This is absolutely unacceptable, as my purchase is in no way related to my line of work and places me in a position of looking like I am misusing company funds.
