Issue: Incorrect information on your report — Information belongs to someone else
Company: TRANSUNION INTERMEDIATE HOLDINGS, INC.
State: NV

Complaint narrative:
Hello, I am writing to delete the following information on my credit report. The following items are listed in the report. I am a victim of identity theft. The charges made on the account were not mine. The items need to be deleted as they are inaccurate items on my credit report. The theft of my identity was reported to the federal Trade Commission. Also, I have an enclosed copy of the Federal Trade Commission id-entity theft affidavit. Please find it in your best interest to delete the items.

I would like to emphasize the following legal obligations under the FCRA : Under 1681b, a consumer reporting agency may furnish a consumer report only under specific circumstances, including " In response to the order of a court having jurisdiction to issue such an order, or a subpoena issued in connection with proceedings before a Federal grand jury. '' This provision strictly limits when my consumer report can be furnished, and I do not believe any of these circumstances apply in this case.

Under 15 U.S.C. 1681i ( a ) ( 1 ) ( A ), credit bureaus must conduct a " reasonable reinvestigation '' upon receiving notice of a consumer dispute. I am formally notifying you of this dispute, and I expect a thorough and reasonable reinvestigation of all items I've identified.

15 U.S. Code 1681b outlines the permissible purposes of consumer reports, including conditions for furnishing and using consumer reports for employment purposes. I do not believe any of these permissible purposes apply to the disputed items on my report.

15 U.S. Code $ 1681c-2 a consumer reporting agency shall block the reporting of any.

information in the file of a consumer that the consumer identifies as information that resulted from an alleged identity theft, not later than 4 business days after the date of receipt.

15 U.S. Code 1681 Section B ( i ) - Requirements relating to reinsertion of previously deleted material - If a consumer reporting agency removes information from someone's credit file based on the requirements in the preceding section ( A ), the agency can not re-add or reinsert that previously deleted information back into the person 's file unless the entity that originally provided that information certifies that it is complete and accurate.

Company: Portfolio Recovery Associates, LLC
State: SC

Complaint narrative:
To Whom It May Concern.

This letter serves as a formal follow-up to my previous Validation Demand Letter. Despite my lawful demand made pursuant to 15 U.S.C. $ 1692g of the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act ( FDCPA ) and 15 U.S.C. $ 1681s-2 of the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ), your agency has failed to provide adequate legal validation of the alleged debt Instead, you responded with a generic summary of charges or statement balance, which does not satisfy the federal requirements for debt validation. Your failure to provide the following constitutes noncompliance : 1. A copy of the original signed contract or agreement bearing my signature ; 2. A full chain of title including all assignments and transfers of the alleged debt ; 3. A bill of sale or purchase agreement proving legal ownership of the debt ; 4. Proof of licensing to collect debt in my state ; 5. Surety bond information ( if required by law in your jurisdiction ).

A billing summary is NOT proof of debt ownership or legal authority to collect. Continued reporting of this unverifiable debt to credit bureaus is a violation of 15 U.S.C. $ 1681s-2 ( a ) ( 1 ) ( A ) and constitutes the furnishing of inaccurate and incomplete information.

Search Additionally, continued collection efforts without proper validation violate the FDCPA, specifically : 15 U.S.C. $ 1692e -False or misleading representations 15 U.S.C. $ 1692f- Unfair practices 15 U.S.C. $ 1692g Failure to validate debt If this account is not permanently deleted from all consumer reporting agencies and all collection efforts do not cease within 15 calendar days, I will proceed with legal action against your agency under 15 U.S.C. $ 1681n and $ 1692k, including but not limited to statutory damages, punitive damages, legal fees, and costs.

This is your final opportunity to resolve this matter before I file formal complaints with the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau ( CFPB ), the Federal Trade Commission ( FTC ), and my State Attorney General, and pursue civil litigation. 
Sincerely, XXXX XXXX XXXX

Company: FirstPoint Collection Resources

Complaint narrative:
I consider First Point Collection to be incompetent and dishonest. I was in communication with them and they sent me the same information repeatedly. The account numbers reported by XXXX XXXX and XXXX XXXX XXXX are completely different. I have no Debt to XXXX XXXX XXXX, they cant proof confirmed no debt, and I personally have no outstanding balance with them. 

They can say where the debt from XXXX XXXX come from I sent to First Point Collection my receipt and for XXXX XXXX XXXX. The account number they reported from XXXX XXXX XXXX and XXXX XXXX XXXX are not the same. They tried to manipulate information thats not fair. They can keep reporting collection on my credit report I am requesting that collection be immediately removed from my credit report. The way First Point Collection has handled this situation is truly disappointing.

My account with EQUIFAX TRANSUNION was never late! I have had exceptional payment history all payments were placed on XXXX. This late payment that is reporting is a result on a systematic error on their end processing my payment. This was clearly a billing error made my the company and is not a reflection of my payment experience which violates USC Code 1681eb. This error has caused severe hard to my reputation, my character, my mode of living and to my family! I demand the late payment to be updated. They are not in compliance with the following law. 15 USC 1666b and its requirements set the standards and the guidance for a creditor to treat a payment as late, yet they are reporting a payment as late and they did not comply with the law! 15 USC 1666b ( a ) Time to make payments A creditor may not treat a payment on a credit card account under an open end consumer credit plan as late for any purpose, unless the creditor has adopted reasonable procedures designed to ensure that each periodic statement including the information required by section 1637 ( b ) of this title is mailed or delivered to the consumer not later than 21 days before the payment due date. EQUIFAX TRANSUNION Never Sent the periodic statement along with the disclosures from section 1637 ( b ). I have requested proof that this information was mailed or delivered 21 days before the payment due date and this information was requested in good faith pursuant rule 1002 and It was never provided. This is unfair, illegal, fraudulent, and not equitable to me as a consumer! Update the late payments from my consumer reports

I have been baking with Chase since XXXX XXXX using it as a direct deposit source for my personal use. On XX/XX/XXXX I decided to open up a business account since my business is growing. I was able to open the account in the branch and I also deposit a check to fund my account. On XX/XX/XXXX, I woke up to an email stating that they wanted to verify my account to protect against fraud. The email stated important to protect against potential fraud. We restricted your account and may close it soon they said MAY if I didnt contact them and then it says please act quickly to better understand a restriction on your account and to call the number ( which I called ) at Chase were always working to keep your money safe due to recent activity we need more information from you. We have restricted your account so I gave Chase a call to ask ; What can I do well they told me that they have already decided to close my account without even talking to me first nor given me a reason on why, so I feel like I have been discriminated against because I am a XXXX XXXX XXXX, who has a successful business and made a large deposit into her business account. I wasnt given a reason on why my account was being restricted or what made them close it without talking to me first. I constantly asked her why and she just said we decided to no longer do business with you and I ask about my personal account and they said that they were closing it too, which has a great history so Im not being told why they are closing my account and when I called, they already had their mind made up that they were going to close my account without any explanation.

Company: NAVY FEDERAL CREDIT UNION
State: VA

Complaint narrative:
I submitted disputes regarding my XXXX XXXX card from Navy Federal Credit Union for merchandise not received on XX/XX/XXXX and XX/XX/XXXX. All of these disputes were denied without any communication with the merchant. Navy Federal requested receipts and proof of an attempt to contact the merchant, which I provided ; however, the merchant did not respond. They concluded that I received the merchandise based solely on the existence of a receipt, which is illogical. Just because I possess a receipt does not imply that the merchant credited to my account successfully. Furthermore, they did not even make an effort to dispute the matter with the merchant, which is unjust. They completed their 'investigation ' within five days without reaching out to the merchant to obtain their perspective. How is that fair?? I would like a supervisor to review my previous disputes along with the current documents requested by Navy Federal, and I kindly ask that they dispute this matter with the merchant.
