Product: Credit reporting or other personal consumer reports — Credit reporting
Issue: Problem with a company's investigation into an existing problem — Their investigation did not fix an error on your report
Company: EQUIFAX, INC.
State: GA

Complaint narrative:
Subject : Failure to Conduct a Manual Review of Dispute as Requested Use of XXXX System Summary of Issue : On XXXX XXXX, I filed a dispute with Equifax regarding inaccurate information on my credit report. I explicitly requested a manual review of the disputed information due to the complexity of the inaccuracies and submitted highlighted copies of my credit report with the incorrect information clearly marked. However, Equifax processed my dispute through the XXXX  system rather than conducting the manual review I requested, which violates my right to a proper investigation. The response I received from XXXX was unsatisfactory, vague, and did not address the specific questions I raised. 
XXXX XXXX : XXXX used the XXXX system to electronically send a notification of my dispute, including a summary of relevant information, to the furnisher of the disputed information. In their response, Equifax stated : THE FURNISHER REVIEWS THE INFORMATION PROVIDED, CONDUCTS AN INVESTIGATION WITH RESPECT TO THE DISPUTED INFORMATION, AND REPORTS THE RESULTS BACK TO US ELECTRONICALLY ... Equifax MAY USE A BUSINESS VENDOR TO OBTAIN THE MOST RECENT FILING FROM THE PUBLIC RECORD SOURCE. 
This response failed to address my specific request for a manual review, and Equifax provided a generic response about their standard procedures rather than directly answering the questions I posed.

Complaint narrative:
XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX ) has " verified '' information to Equifax that is materially factually incorrect under the auspices of the US Federal FCRA. In order of appearance on my personal credit report ( PCR ) : 1. " Account type detail '' is blank ; thereby rendering it difficult for a consumer to address this supposed valid debt.

4. " High credit '' does not correspond with any acct. I possessed at XXXX. 
5. " Credit limit '' denoted as " {$0.00} '' ... .ergo this acct. never existed as credit. How can the 'high credit ' be {$200.00} if there was no credit limit? 
6. " Date last active '' of XX/XX/XXXX ; a generic date provided solely to 're-age ' this alleged debt. If someone conducted business with this acct. XXXX of this year, it was not me, and ID theft may be involved, possibly internally at XXXX.

Product: Debt collection — Rental debt
Issue: Attempts to collect debt not owed — Debt was paid
Company: ProCollect, Inc.
State: TX

Complaint narrative:
Discharged Debt : A discharged debt typically means that the debtor is no longer legally obligated to pay it. In bankruptcy, the discharge is granted by the bankruptcy court under 11 U.S.C. 727 ( in XXXX  XXXX bankruptcy ) or other relevant provisions. If the debt is discharged in bankruptcy, creditors, including third-party debt collectors, can not continue collection efforts unless the discharge order is violated.

3. Proof of Debt and the Wet Signature : A wet signature refers to a traditional signature on a paper document, often used in contracts. In the case of debt collection, it is not always required to prove ownership of a debt, especially if the debt has been sold. However, the third-party debt collector must provide sufficient evidence that they have standing to collect the debt, which may include proving the assignment of the debt from the original creditor.

Under FDCPA, if a debt collector is attempting to collect on a debt, they must be able to validate the debt if disputed by the consumer ( 15 U.S.C. 1692g ). This can include showing documentation, though it may not require a wet signature on a contract. However, if no agreement or assignment exists ( i.e., the third party can not prove they legally own the debt ), they may not have standing to collect.

Fair Debt Collection Practices Act ( FDCPA ), 15 U.S.C. 1692 et seq.

Bankruptcy Code : 11 U.S.C. 524 ( Discharge injunction ) and 11 U.S.C. 727 ( Discharge in XXXX  XXXX ). 
State laws may also provide additional protections, such as requiring more specific documentation or disclosures when debts are sold or transferred.

In summary, if the debt has been discharged through bankruptcy, a third-party collector can not pursue the debt, regardless of whether they have a wet signature or other documentation. If the debt has not been discharged but the collector can not prove ownership or provide appropriate documentation, they may not have the right to collect. Consumers should be vigilant in requesting validation and seeking legal counsel if they believe their rights are being violated.
