Complaint narrative:
XXXX XXXX XXXX - XXXXXXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXXXXXX Im writing to formally dispute multiple late payments reported on my credit file, which are inaccurate due to a situation involving unauthorized access to my personal accounts. For the past year or 2, I experienced a pattern of unexpected missed payments across several of my credit accounts. At the time, I was in a relationship where the person I was dating had access to my personal laptop and logins. Following the end of that relationship, I discovered that several of my accounts had been tampered with including the disabling of autopay settings, the removal of saved payment methods, and changes to my email and notification settings.

This individual later admitted over the phone that they accessed my accounts out of spite and interfered with my financial information, which I did not notice immediately. These actions directly led to multiple missed or late payments on accounts that were previously in good standing.

Since uncovering this, I have : Secured all of my financial accounts.

Taken steps to ensure this situation will not happen again Under the Fair Credit Reporting Act, I am exercising my right to dispute these inaccurate negative marks. Specifically : 15 U.S. Code 1681s2 requires furnishers to report accurate information and correct any errors upon notice 15 U.S. Code 1681i requires credit reporting agencies to investigate disputed items and remove any unverifiable or inaccurate information within 30 days Because these late payments were the result of unauthorized interference not willful nonpayment or neglect I am requesting that they be removed from my credit report. If the furnishers can not verify with documentation that I personally made the changes that led to these missed payments, I ask that the items be deleted in accordance with federal law. Thank you for your time and attention to this matter. Please notify me of the outcome of your investigation.

Company: Resurgent Capital Services L.P.
State: MD

Complaint narrative:
This complaint is related to a previous CFPB complaint I filed against LVNV Funding regarding improper validation of a debt. This new complaint involves misconduct that occurred in court on XX/XX/. 

I am the defendant in a debt collection lawsuit filed by LVNV Funding LLC in the District Court of Maryland for XXXX XXXX ( Case No. XXXX ). I previously disputed the alleged debt and submitted a formal debt validation request. LVNV responded but failed to provide legally required documentation, including a signed agreement, full chain of assignment, or proper validation under the FDCPA. 

On XX/XX/, I appeared in court. An attorney who was not the attorney of record appeared on behalf of LVNV Funding and falsely informed me that my Motion to Dismiss had already been denied. Based on that false information, I verbally agreed to a payment plan in open court, believing I had no remaining defenses. 

I have since confirmed that my Motion to Dismiss was still pending and had not been ruled on at the time of the court hearing. No written agreement was signed or filed, and no payments have been made. I believe I was misled and pressured into an agreement under false pretenses by someone misrepresenting legal authority. 

LVNV Funding is continuing to pursue the lawsuit without proper proof of ownership or standing, and may be reporting this debt to credit bureaus without confirming its validity. I am requesting that the CFPB investigate LVNV Funding for violations of the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act ( FDCPA ), the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ), and state consumer protection laws.

They're charging me {$30.00} for returning a payment I'd made twice to my account.

And I can't use their card anymore because they blocked it more than 3 months ago.

A month ago, I submitted a complaint to these Bureaus, but the incorrect information on my report is still there.

What steps did they take to verify the accounts? This entire situation is really frustrating, especially since it's been over 30 days since I filed my complaint.

Company: ENCORE CAPITAL GROUP INC.
State: TX

Complaint narrative:
I had an account with XXXX XXXX  for many years. The issue began when I became XXXX  on a continuous basis and asked them to work with me on payments. Numerous times I asked for a deferment, explained my hardship and asked to see the original contract to see if there were any protections in place, due to XXXX. I was ignored every one of those times, the balance continued to grow and gain interest and my account was closed. Though the account was closed, they are still adding interest. This comes after years of good standing with the institution, without even as much as a alte payment on the account. I surely expected some sort of results when seeking help. But I was never sent an original contract to see my rights, I was never offered a deferment or hardship and instead I was just thrown away as a bad debt. There must be laws in place to protect Veteran 's like myself whom become completely XXXX and face the hardship of inability to pay. This information should have been provided, instead of requests ignored. Midland credit bought the debt and continues to harass me to collect the debt when I was never given deferred arrangements or hardship options by the original creditor, as stated in the terms of credit.
