Complaint narrative:
I am writing to address some inconsistencies that I have identified in my personal credit report. These inaccuracies are having a significant impact on my financial standing, particularly in relation to my ability to own a home. While I understand that errors can occur, I have researched the dispute process and am aware of the required investigation time-frame of thirty days. The other bureaus have already removed this account from their records, following the submission of my FTC report citing the identification of an error. I am puzzled as to how this account was verified by your bureau while other bureaus have successfully removed it. Therefore, I request the immediate deletion of this account from my file as they are inaccurate, erroneous, incomplete, or unverifiable.

Complaint narrative:
I recently checked my credit report and realized the company is reporting unknown adverse information on my credit report concerning an alleged debt. I have no knowledge of any business with the company. And I also never engaged in any contracts giving the company consent to furnish anything on my credit report. I feel extremely violated and upset that my privacy would be invaded in such a way. And that my identity would be used without my consent. The company 's actions have damaged my credit rating and hindered my access to credit. The company has violated FCRA permissible purposes of consumer reports, by furnishing unknown transactions to credit reporting agencies without my written consent. The company has also violated FDCPA 1692e by communicating with me concerning the false character, amount, and legal status of the alleged debt. And stating that I owe that debt

These accounts were never late! I have maintained an exceptional payment history with XXXX XXXX, and all payments were placed on autopay. The late payment that is being reported is the result of a systematic error on their end in processing my payment. This was clearly a billing error made by the company and does not reflect my payment experience, which violates USC Code 1681eb. This error has caused severe harm to my reputation, character, mode of living, and my family! I demand that the late payment reported on these accounts be removed. They are not in compliance with the following law : 15 USC 1666b. Its requirements set the standards and guidance for a creditor to treat a payment as late, yet they are reporting a payment as late without complying 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. These accounts 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 to rule 1002.

Complaint narrative:
I am writing to formally file a complaint against Jefferson Capital Systems for their continued and unlawful reporting of an account on my credit report that is a result of identity theft. Despite my numerous attempts to resolve this matter directly with Jefferson Capital Systems, they have failed to take appropriate action to remove the fraudulent account.

Details of my complaint are as follows : 1. **Account Information** : The fraudulent account being reported by Jefferson Capital Systems .

2. **Identity Theft Proof** : I have provided Jefferson Capital Systems with comprehensive proof that the account is not mine. The documentation includes : - A Federal Trade Commission ( FTC ) Identity Theft Affidavit.

- A police report confirming the identity theft.

- Proof of my identity, including copies of my driver 's license and Social Security card.

- Additional documentation demonstrating that I was not associated with the account in question.

Despite submitting this information, Jefferson Capital Systems has neither removed the erroneous account from my credit report nor provided any response or acknowledgment of my dispute.

# # # Violations of the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ) Jefferson Capital Systems ' actions violate multiple provisions of the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ), including but not limited to : 1. **Section 611 ( 15 U.S. Code 1681i ) ** : Failure to conduct a reasonable reinvestigation of the disputed information within 30 days.

2. **Section 605B ( 15 U.S. Code 1681c-2 ) ** : Failure to block the reporting of information resulting from identity theft within four business days upon receipt of appropriate proof.

3. **Section 623 ( 15 U.S. Code 1681s-2 ) ** : Furnishing information with actual knowledge of errors and failing to update and correct inaccurate information.

# # # Demand for Immediate Action I demand that Jefferson Capital Systems immediately : 1. Remove the fraudulent account from my credit report.

2. Provide written confirmation that the account has been removed.

3. Cease any further reporting of this fraudulent account to all credit reporting agencies.

I request the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau to investigate this matter urgently and take appropriate enforcement action against Jefferson Capital Systems to ensure compliance with the FCRA and to prevent further harm to consumers like myself. 

Thank you for your prompt attention to this serious matter.
