Complaint narrative:
I am continually being called on the telephone by this agency over an alleged debt. I am requesting validation of this debt. This account has been reporting inaccurately. I wanted to dispute this account because of this and it was affecting my credit report. I am having problems with this unfair treatment. I am sure that I settled this account before because it was not mine. This account was taken care of with the original creditor and promised me to update it out of my report. Therefore, this account is unverifiable. This is an error that you need to look into, so please do your investigation on this and remove or delete this account from my credit report.

Company: Resurgent Capital Services L.P.
State: NY

Complaint narrative:
To Whom It May Concern, I am following up on my previous dispute regarding the collection account listed on my credit report. In my initial dispute, I requested the removal of this account due to the collection agency 's failure to provide debt validation.

Under the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ) 611 ( a ) ( 6 ), I am entitled to know the method used to verify the accuracy of this collection account. Specifically, I am requesting : 1. The method used to verify the accuracy of this collection account.

2. The name and contact information of the person or entity that provided the verification.

3. Copies of any documents or records used in the reinvestigation process.

As the collection agency did not provide validation, the continued presence of this account on my credit report is both inaccurate and non-compliant with the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act ( FDCPA ) 809 ( a ).

Please provide the requested information and update my credit report accordingly. If the information can not be verified, this collection account must be removed from my credit file as required by FCRA 611 ( a ) ( 5 ) ( A ).

Thank you for your prompt attention to this matter. I expect a response within the 30-day period allowed by law. 
Sincerely, XXXX XXXX

Complaint narrative:
I submitted a dispute to you regarding multiple inaccuracies on my credit report, including incorrect personal information ( name, addresses ) and multiple inaccurate account entries. Despite providing supporting documents, such as my driver 's license, proof of address, and social security card, you have failed to correct these errors. These inaccuracies impact my credit standing and violate the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ), which requires credit bureaus to ensure maximum possible accuracy. Additionally, some of these accounts may involve debts that should have been reported differently under 1099-C tax laws. I formally requested verification and removal of these items, but you have not taken appropriate action.

Complaint narrative:
On XX/XX/2025 I requested to close my account with chime and at that time the account had money which was to be returned in 30 days.I confirmed with the representative who told me the account would close in 5 business days so on the 15th of March there was a auto pay that came out for {$5.00} which put the account in the negative. So I contacted chime to dispute this and was adamant that this was not my fault since the account was not closed in the 5 business days that they confirmed with me on XX/XX/XXXX I spoke with a supervisor who continued to blame me and say if the {$3.00} was not paid account would not be closed period and actually hung up on me very rude. I just don't understand how this is my fault if chime did not close the account in the time frame they told me.

Complaint narrative:
Finding unauthorized accounts, credit inquiries, and false personal information made or reported without my knowledge or agreement completely stunned and grieved me.

Company: EQUIFAX, INC.

Complaint narrative:
Equifax has failed to fulfill its legal obligation under the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ) to conduct a reasonable reinvestigation of disputed information on my credit report, leaving inaccurate or unverifiable accounts unresolved. The Consumer Financial Protection Bureau ( CFPB ) has recently filed a lawsuit against Equifax alleging systemic issues such as failing to forward consumer-provided evidence to furnishers, accepting unreliable responses, and failing to adequately notify consumers of dispute outcomes. These failures align with my experience, where Equifax has neither corrected nor removed disputed items despite the evidence I provided, causing ongoing harm to my credit standing. I am requesting immediate corrective action to remove or amend the disputed accounts, as Equifax inaction violates federal law and my rights as a consumer.
