Complaint narrative:
I am updating a late payment that is currently being reported on my credit report as " open '' or unresolved. This entry is inaccurate and misleading. I have either already resolved the payment, or I was never late as claimed. The continued reporting of this item as open and delinquent is a violation of the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ), particularly 15 U.S.C. 1681e ( b ), which requires consumer reporting agencies to maintain maximum possible accuracy of the information they report. This misreporting has negatively impacted my credit score and may hinder my ability to obtain credit or employment.

Complaint narrative:
Company name : NCB Management Services , Inc. 
Phone ( if known ) : ( XXXX ) XXXX Address ( optional ) : XXXX XXXX XXXX, XXXX XXXX, PA 1905 I am disputing a debt that NCB Management Services is attempting to collect related to an account allegedly originated by XXXX XXXX, with a balance of {$1000.00}. 

I have not received any prior communication from them before being contacted about this alleged debt. I requested validation of the debt, including documentation showing I owe this amount, the chain of ownership of the debt, and proof they are authorized to collect on it. As of today, they have not provided adequate documentation. 

This account is not currently on my credit report, but I am concerned about potential inaccurate or unauthorized reporting. I request the CFPB require the company to provide proper validation or stop collection activity. If they can not validate the debt, they should close it permanently and confirm it will not be reported.

Company: Mercedes Benz Financial Services
State: TN

Complaint narrative:
I am submitting this complaint regarding Mercedes-Benzs failure to provide access to my paid XXXX account, which I require for my business operations. 

For several months, I have been unable to access my account despite paying for the service. This account is essential to my business, as I restore classic Mercedes vehicles and rely on the information and resources provided through the XXXX XXXX. 

Since first encountering the access issue, I have made several documented attempts to resolve the matter. I have contacted : Mercedes-Benz XXXX customer service XXXX XXXX  XXXXt Mercedes-Benz website technical support Mercedes-Benz USA Despite these repeated efforts , I have received no meaningful response, resolution, or assistance. My access remains blocked, and I have been unable to use the service for which I have already paid.

This ongoing failure has severely limited my ability to run my business operations and has caused both financial and reputational harm.

Relief Requested : Immediate restoration of my access to the Mercedes-Benz XXXX account. 

A full refund for the current years subscription, as I have been denied use of the service I purchased.

I believe Mercedes-Benz has failed to deliver the service it has charged me for and has ignored numerous good-faith attempts at resolution. I respectfully request the CFPBs intervention in ensuring that Mercedes-Benz provides both the service access and refund I am entitled to.
