Complaint narrative:
The items listed below are reported on my personal credit file and were found in my reports with 3 credit reporting agencies. These items were opened fraudulently. Ive informed all parties of the issue & provided the necessary documentation to support my claim. The credit reporting agency ( CRA ) & data furnisher ( DF ) are not complying with federal law in regard to identity theft. Additionally, the credit reporting agency & data furnisher have not provided me with any evidence of an open contract, signed contract, or any valid proof this was opened, authorized, or created by me. Since this is a strict violation of FCRA laws I need the items removed from my file.

Complaint narrative:
In late XX/XX/year>, I submitted identity theft FTC report along with my identification front and back bank statement and FTC XXXX letter to XXXX XXXX and Equifax pertaining to account on my credit report with both agencies from XXXX that has late payments that do not belong to me. This has caused my credit score to plummet over XXXX points. I have asked that This be removed from both reports Equifax and XXXX XXXX. They have not done so this is incorrect information being reported I reached out to XXXX. They said they do not have an account in their system that says I had a {$92.00} balance and late payments. This seems to be just a big misunderstanding.

Company: Affirm Holdings, Inc

Complaint narrative:
I recently submitted a similar complaint about unfair and illegal practices. As usual the companys regurgitation of something being in litigation is a LIE! 
Ive in fact attempted to contact them on several occasions only to be hung up on and told that they cant talk to me. 
This has been going on XXXX years. 
But I have no contract with them, written nor verbal. So since they insist on violating my rights I will now most certainly hit them with a tort claim! This is not a threat, its a PROMISE! 
I only came here so that its openly documented the amount of times and violations. 
Most recently the company that does NOT have my consent to share my information continues to do so, even to the point of an account being under dispute for fraud & billing error dispute and BY LAW while AFFIRM is under dispute it is to be removed! 
So thats ANOTHER VIOLATION punishable under law by fines and other penalties. 
Thank you for your noncompliance.

Complaint narrative:
I recently submitted a request for investigation of the above noted accounts, which you denied. I submitted sufficient information for you perform a reasonable investigation of my dispute. Unfortunately, you neglected to do so. If you had investigated properly the results would have proven that I have never been late on these accounts. Actually I am not sure that the account is even mine though your company claims to have verified these. 

Depending solely on your flawed XXXX XXXX has proven to produce less than accurate and fair information. I request that you take a more active and accurate approach to investigate this for me. 

As in XXXX XXXX TransUnion, XXXX XXXX XXXX ( XXXX ), and XXXX XXXX XXXX, XXXXXXXX XXXX XXXX the courts ruled each and every time that the CRA couldn't merely " parrot '' information from the creditors and collection agencies ... that they have to conduct an independent REASONABLE investigation to ensure the validity of the debt and the honesty/integrity of the XXXX in question. Sending out a generic form letter through the XXXX  system that does not even contain my reasons for the dispute is by no ones measure reasonable.

Issue: Attempts to collect debt not owed — Debt is not yours
Company: CL Holdings LLC
State: NJ

Complaint narrative:
In XX/XX/2024, I requested validation of an alleged debt from Jefferson Capital Systems , LLC, as required under the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act ( FDCPA ), specifically under 15 U.S.C. 1692g, and the CFPB 's Debt Collection Rule ( Regulation F ). Despite my request, the company failed to provide adequate validation, including the chain of title and proof of the amount they paid for the debt, as required by law. Instead, they reported this unvalidated debt to credit bureaus, resulting in significant harm to my credit score and financial well-being, including higher interest rates and denial of credit applications.

Additionally, I was not properly served in connection with a garnishment order related to this debt, further complicating the matter. I sent a letter to the court addressing these issues, but Jefferson Capital Systems , LLC has not corrected the situation. Their actions may constitute violations of the FDCPA, Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ) under 15 U.S.C. 1681s-2, and Unfair, Deceptive, or Abusive Acts or Practices ( UDAAP ).

The company also failed to provide proper disclosure of my
rights to dispute the debt within the required timeframe, a violation of both the FDCPA and Regulation F. I believe these practices may not be isolated, and I request that the CFPB investigate whether these actions are part of a broader pattern of behavior by Jefferson Capital Systems , LLC that could be affecting other consumers as well. 

Despite my good faith efforts to resolve this matter directly with the company and the court, the issues remain unresolved. The continued reporting of this unvalidated debt threatens my creditworthiness and financial stability, which could have long-term consequences if not corrected. Additionally, the stress caused by these ongoing collection efforts has impacted my emotional well-being. 

Please see the attached documents for detailed information and supporting evidence regarding the events and actions taken by Jefferson Capital Systems , LLC that have led to this complaint.
