Company: CCS Financial Services, Inc.
State: MA

Complaint narrative:
Dear CCS : I am formally disputing the accuracy, validity, and completeness of the above-referenced account, which has been reported to the credit bureaus and attributed to me. I have no verified relationship with your company or any other original creditor you listed, and I was never provided proper notice of this alleged debt.

Pursuant to my rights under the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act ( FDCPA, 15 U.S.C. 1692g ( b ) ) and the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA, 15 U.S.C. 1681 et seq. ), I demand full validation of this account. Specifically, I request the following documentation : * Original Credit Agreement ( the contract I allegedly signed, if applicable ) * Full Itemized Statement ( showing how the balance was calculated ) * Forward Flow Agreement ( proving debt transfer from original creditor ) * Chain of Title / Assignment Documents ( showing legal transfer of ownership ) * Complete Payment History Records ( verifying payments or delinquencies ) * Validation Notice ( per FDCPA 1692g ) * Notice of Default / Intent to Collect ( as required by law ) * Proof of Statute of Limitations ( confirming debt is legally collectible ) * Credit Reporting Agreement ( authorizing reporting to bureaus ) * Documentation of Prior Dispute Investigations ( per FCRA 1681i ) To date, I have not received these required documents. Instead, I have only been sent generic, automated responses that do not constitute lawful validation. Therefore, the account remains unverified and legally unenforceable.

Continuing to report or collect on an unverifiable account violates FCRA 1681e ( b ) and 1681s-2 ( b ) as well as FDCPA 1692g ( b ). Courts including XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX, XXXX XXXX XXXX, XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX, and XXXX XXXX XXXX confirm that unverifiable or misleading data can not lawfully remain on a consumers credit file.

Company: Credit Control, LLC
State: NY

Complaint narrative:
I received a collection notice from Credit Control , LLC regarding a debt that I do not recognize. On or about XX/XX/year>, I sent them a certified letter demanding verification under the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act ( FDCPA ). I requested full validation of the debt including : the name of the original creditor, a copy of the signed contract or agreement, the full accounting of charges, proof of ownership or assignment of the debt, and evidence linking me to it with my personal identifying information. I also asked them to cease collection and reporting until verification was provided. 

Credit Control , LLC did not provide any of the requested documentation or validation within the legally required timeframe. Instead, they sent several vague, automated collection letters that failed to answer my dispute. Some language in their letters used deceptive or misleading terms such as " authorized settlement '' or " null and void '' which appeared designed to simulate a court order or official authority a possible violation of 15 U.S.C. 1692d, 1692e, and 1692j. 

Despite not verifying the debt, they continued to communicate and pursue collection efforts, which is unfair and deceptive under federal law. Additionally, as of today, they have not reported new activity to the credit bureaus, but their prior communications may still reflect on my credit profile and continue to cause harm.

Company: EQUIFAX, INC.
State: SC

Complaint narrative:
I am submitting this complaint against the three major credit bureausXXXX, Equifax, and XXXXfor ongoing, systemic violations of the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ) and failure to comply with Metro 2 Format and CDIA industry standards.

Despite submitting multiple disputes concerning inaccurate, unverifiable, and/or outdated negative items on my credit reports, the credit bureaus have consistently responded with vague verified as accurate outcomeswithout producing a single shred of documentary evidence or conducting a lawful investigation as required under 15 U.S.C. 1681i ( a ).

Instead, they rely on the deeply flawed and automated e-OSCAR system, which merely forwards dispute codes to furnishers and accepts their response without independent verification. This practice has been widely criticized by the CFPB and ruled inadequate in court.

Violations and Legal Basis : The following violations form the basis of this complaint : 15 U.S.C. 1681e ( b ) Failure to maintain reasonable procedures to assure maximum possible accuracy 15 U.S.C. 1681i ( a ) Failure to conduct a reasonable reinvestigation 15 U.S.C. 1681s-2 ( b ) Furnisher failure to correct or delete disputed information Metro 2 and CDIA Guidelines Failure to comply with reporting format and data integrity standards Further, the credit bureaus use of e-OSCAR has been ruled insufficient in legal precedent : " A credit reporting agency may not rely blindly on the [ furnisher 's ] investigation. The agency has an obligation to conduct a reasonable investigation itself. '' Cushman v. Trans Union Corp., 115 F.3d 220 ( 3rd Cir. 1997 ) These harms are measurable, preventable, and attributable to willful negligence and disregard of consumer protection law.

Company: Spring Oaks Capital, LLC
State: SC

Complaint narrative:
Subject Line : Debt Collector Unable to Prove Ownership - Illegal Collection & Credit Reporting I am submitting this complaint regarding SPRING OAKS CAPITAL LLC in connection with their attempts to collect on an alleged account that they have failed to validate under federal and state law. The company is furnishing negative information to the credit bureaus and contacting me about a debt they can not legally prove they own or are authorized to collect. 

Specifically, I submitted a timely request for debt validation under the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act ( FDCPA ), 15 U.S.C. 1692g. In response, the collector failed to provide any of the following critical documents : Proof of ownership of the alleged debt A valid purchase agreement for the SPRING OAKS CAPITAL LLC containing my account A complete and unbroken chain of title from the original creditor to themselves A copy of their state bond or license required to collect in South Carolina. 

Without proof of ownership or a chain of title, SPRING OAKS CAPITAL LLC has no legal standing to pursue collection, report to credit bureaus, or claim any right to payment. Furthermore, furnishing derogatory credit information under such circumstances constitutes false and misleading representation under 15 U.S.C. 1692e and may also violate the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ), 15 U.S.C. 1681s-2 ( b ), for reporting unverifiable or inaccurate information.

I am requesting the following : 1. Immediate deletion of any credit reporting related to this account.

2. Cessation of all collection activity unless and until full validation and legal standing are established.

3. A complete investigation by your agency into SPRING OAKS CAPITAL LLC 's practices of reporting and collecting on debts without proper documentation. This complaint is being submitted in good faith to protect my consumer rights. The failure to provide ownership documentation while attempting to collect or damage my credit is not only unethical-it 's unlawful.
