Product: Debt collection — I do not know
Issue: Attempts to collect debt not owed — Debt is not yours
Company: EQUIFAX, INC.
State: NC

Complaint narrative:
I want to stress that I did not give written permission for these specific transactions to be included in my consumer report. At no point did I authorize these entries, and their presence on my report is unwarranted. Consequently, I am formally requesting that these accounts be blocked and removed from my report immediately. 

It is important to clarify that this request is not due to any error or negligence on my part. There has been no oversight or misunderstanding on my end. Instead, this issue arises solely from the fact that I did not explicitly authorize the inclusion of these transactions in my report. I am diligent about maintaining the accuracy and privacy of my financial records, and these unauthorized entries compromise that integrity. 

I trust that you will handle this matter with the urgency and seriousness it deserves. Please confirm the removal of these transactions from my report as soon as possible. Thank you for your prompt attention to this issue.

Issue: Communication tactics — You told them to stop contacting you, but they keep trying
Company: CL Holdings LLC
State: GA

Complaint narrative:
Jefferson Capital Systems has continued to report an alleged debt on my credit report despite my formal dispute and request for a cease and desist. I have clearly communicated that I dispute the debt and that their continued reporting constitutes a form of communication under the FDCPA. 

In XXXX XXXX XXXX, 514 U.S. 291 ( 1995 ), the United States Supreme Court affirmed that the FDCPA broadly covers all communications related to the collection of a debt. This includes communications made through consumer reporting, as defined by the FDCPA. 

Furthermore, under 12 U.S.C. 5531, the CFPB is empowered to take action against entities engaging in unfair, deceptive, or abusive acts or practices. By continuing to report this disputed debt, Jefferson Capital Systems is engaging in an unfair practice, causing harm to my credit reputation and financial standing.
