Product: Debt collection — I do not know
Issue: Attempts to collect debt not owed — Debt is not yours
Company: ENCORE CAPITAL GROUP INC.
State: TX

Complaint narrative:
I have disputed a debt Midland Credit Management claims I owe. I requested full validation, including the original signed contract, payment history, and proof of legal ownership, but Midland failed to provide adequate documentation. They continue to report a balance of {$990.00} and have included unexplained fees. Despite my written dispute and requests for validation under the Fair Credit Reporting Act and Texas Finance Code, Midland has not resolved the issue. I also requested that they cease contacting me, which they acknowledged but the account remains on my credit report damaging my credit. I seek full validation or removal of this account from my credit reports.

Company: CAPITAL ONE FINANCIAL CORPORATION
State: MD

Complaint narrative:
Capital One is reporting a charged-off credit card account with a balance of {$6700.00} on my credit reports. While this account was previously mine, I am now submitting an FTC Identity Theft Report and passport ID for the first time with this complaint. This serves as formal notice under FCRA 1681c-2. Capital One furnished this negative tradeline to XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX without verifying identity, consent, or accuracy, in violation of FCRA 1681e ( b ) and 1681s-2 ( a ). No proper investigation was conducted prior to reporting. This account is now disputed under federal identity theft law, and the furnisher is obligated under FCRA 1681s-2 ( b ) to delete all unverifiable data. Capital Ones failure to meet these obligations is causing continued financial and reputational harm.
