Complaint narrative:
XX/XX/XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX, FL XXXX Social Security # XXXX DOB : XX/XX/XXXX I hereby make a ghost-letter attempt to a resolution on various credit items and/or items of public record that currently show on XXXX, Equifax, XXXX XXXX and XXXX respectively. My position is legal based upon sections of the Fair Credit Reporting Act as well as the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act. These laws are to make sure that a level and fair playing field exist to protect American consumers from abusive reporting procedures on credit reports, as well as illegal and deceptive collection practices. I stipulate at this time that are no condition am U making an identity theft claim or accusation, so I demand that policy be adhered to by all creditors and respective credit reporting agencies. 
Amended consumer rights Fair Credit Reporting Act Public Law 15 U.S.C. 1681 : https : //www.consumer.ftc.gov/articles/pdf-0111-fair-credit-reporting-act.pdf Fair Debt Collection Practices Act : https : //www.ftc.gov/enforcement/rules/rulemaking-regulatory-reform-proceedings/fair-debt-collection-practices-act-text On these subscribers that are reporting the affixed information, I am requesting full validation such as, original transfer rights to collect, confirmation of legal timeline to report on credit and/or collection procedures, validation of licensing requirements, posted bonding requirements, oversight on monthly payment histories, proper subscriber agreement compliance with credit reporting agencies, and overall compliance with all Fair Credit Reporting Act and Fair Debt Collection Practices Act bylaws as mandated by federal laws. If all of these requirements are not in order, then I have the legal right to request the deletion of this tradeline accordingly. I especially desire compliance under the 84-month timeline for deletion of negative information, with the deletion of the account details altogether. My dispute is quite specific in the exception area posted below : 605. Requirements relating to information contained in consumer reports [ 15 U.S.C. 1681c ], Section 609 of the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ), Disclosures to consumers [ 15 U.S.C. 1681g ] ; Section 610 ( a ) ( 1 ) [ 1681h ], and 611. 

CREDITOR CONTACT INFORMATION : XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX, XXXX XXXX XXXX, FL XXXX ( XXXX ) XXXX MULTIPLE ACCOUNTS REGISTERED Please be advised that this organization has posted several medical collections against all of my credit reports, whereas during the specified time periods I was incarcerated in the prison system in the state of Florida. The information obtained by XXXX was through a debt pool operation, and these collections were posted outside my rights under the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act. In addition, the Consumer Protection Bureau has a standing policy as administrator of the Fair Credit Reporting Act that any collection process must have a 180-day notice of credit impact. That legal guideline does not exist, nor has it ever existed on these collections. This organization has hindered my progress as a member of the XXXX community to maintain a solid reputation, as I have served my time for past offenses. Accordingly, I am being targeted by this collection agency on discrimination grounds, and even if these collections were legitimate, they would no longer be enforceable within legal limits of the state of Florida. All of these collections must be deleted immediately. Also, XXXX has violated its subscriber agreement with every credit reporting agency for the placement of these collections outside legal requirements, and thus sanctions must be posted through the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau accordingly. On these subscribers that are reporting the affixed information, I am requesting full validation such as, original Financial rights to collect, confirmation of legal timeline to report on credit and/or collection procedures, validation of licensing requirements, posted bonding requirements, oversight on monthly payment histories, proper subscriber agreement compliance with credit reporting agencies, and overall compliance with all Fair Credit Reporting Act and Fair Debt Collection Practices Act bylaws as mandated by federal laws. If all of these requirements are not in order, then I have the legal right to request the deletion of this tradeline accordingly. 

I am posting this dispute through the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau, the governing body of the Fair Credit Reporting Act and the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act. Please respond to this dispute within 30-days as mandated within federal guidelines. 

Sincerely, XXXX XXXX
