Product: Debt collection — Credit card debt
Issue: Took or threatened to take negative or legal action — Threatened to sue you for very old debt
Company: ENCORE CAPITAL GROUP INC.
State: IN

Complaint narrative:
After giving XXXX cease and desist orders, XXXX verbal and XXXX written sent by certified mail, they continue to contact me and sent me another pre-legal notice. I had told them that this is not my debt multiple times and that I am in a hardship and am not able to pay. I have researched this company and they have a very checkered past. I had requested them multiple times to get this off of my credit report. This supposed debt was supposedly charged off in XXXX. I have never had a XXXX XXXX Credit Card and I have no intention to pay a debt I do not owe. I would like them to cease and desist once and for all. I have also warned them that if they go ahead and sue me, I will file a complaint against their attorney with the proper disciplinary authorities to get attorneys suspended in the State of Indiana. I also plan to contact Indiana 's Secretary of State to pull their articles of incorporation in Indiana and to Indiana State Attorney General, XXXX XXXX, if they do not cease and desist. I feel it's that the CFPB start take action against this shady company and to leave me alone.

Company: Experian Information Solutions Inc.

Complaint narrative:
Subject : Response to Experian 's Failure to Address Inaccurate Information and Request for Removal of Disputed Accounts Dear Consumer Financial Protection Bureau, I am writing to formally dispute and request the immediate removal of inaccurate information from my credit report, as provided for under the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( 15 U.S.C. Sec. 1681 ( a ) ). Upon reviewing a copy of my credit report, I have identified discrepancies and concerns regarding the accuracy of information related to the accounts referenced below I recently submitted a dispute letter to Experian, including all the necessary documentation to verify my identity and support my claim. However, I received an email response from Experian stating that they can not complete the investigation due to the alleged absence of copies of my Social Security Number ( SSN ) and identification. 

I would like to clarify that I did, in fact, include all the required documentation with my initial dispute letter. Enclosed with my certified letter to Experian were copies of my driver 's license, Social Security card, and lease agreement, all of which serve as valid proof of my identity and address. I have attached the proof of delivery for your reference. 

It is disheartening to encounter such oversight and disregard for the accuracy and thorough review of the documentation provided. These errors and inaccurate reporting on my credit report have significant consequences on my daily life, hindering my ability to secure loans, obtain housing, and even acquire necessary means of transportation. 

Furthermore, I request the immediate deletion of the unverified and closed accounts listed below : 1. XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX ( {$810.00} ) 2. XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX ( {$0.00} ) 3. XXXX, XXXX. XXXX ( {$0.00} ) 4. XXXX XXXX XXXX ( {$820.00} ) 5. XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX - XXXX XXXX XXXX ( {$0.00} ) 6. XXXX XXXX ( {$0.00} ) 7. XXXX XXXX ( {$620.00} ) 8. XXXX ( {$0.00} ) 9. XXXX ( {$0.00} ) 10. XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX ( {$1000.00} ) I kindly request your intervention in this matter to ensure that Experian conducts a thorough investigation, rectifies their oversight, and takes immediate action to update and correct the inaccurate information on my credit report. These actions are necessary to restore the integrity and accuracy of my credit profile and protect my consumer rights. Also they mentioned the inquiry may take 45 days?? Isnt the max 30 days? How is this okay? 

I appreciate your attention to this matter and ask that you keep me informed of any actions taken in response to my complaint. Thank you for your assistance in resolving this issue. 

Sincerely, XXXX XXXX
