Product: Debt collection — I do not know
Issue: Attempts to collect debt not owed — Debt is not yours
Company: Rowland Avenue Management, Inc. A/KA Columbia Debt Recovery, LLC d/b/a Genesis
State: NM

Complaint narrative:
XXXX XXXX, Columbia Debt Recovery LLC dba Genesis ( XXXX XXXXXXXX ), had called me several times on XXXX XXXX, stating I have debt. I have told them several times that it was not me and the debt was not mine via phone. They started calling my wife and harassed her via telephone. I told them to send me an official letter from their company with the debt information via mail. They agreed to send me a mail, but I recieved nothing. I stop getting calls from them but later i discovered, they ruined my XXXX XXXX from XXXX down to XXXX!!!!!!!!!! I requested an official letter from their company because they started to sound like telescam because they were asking me my personal information! They told me a different social security number that allegedly used for the debt, and they asked me for my SSN!!! How can I just give out my SSN to anyone especially to some sketchy collection company that appears to be a scammer over the phone trying to get my information? 
I recieved nothing in the mail regarding the debt, but rather they ruined my credit score for some debt that I have no knowledge of.

I have struggled to build a good credit score and this collection company just ruined it with their unethical practice!

Complaint narrative:
Subject : Dispute of Inaccurate Account Information Request for Deletion Dear Credit Bureau Dispute Department, I am disputing the inaccurate information being reported on my credit file regarding an account from XXXX. Upon reviewing my credit report, I have identified multiple discrepancies that violate the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ) and request that this account be either corrected or permanently deleted due to these violations.

List of Inaccuracies & FCRA Violations 1. Different Date Opened Entries : Reported inconsistently across bureaus.

Violation : 15 U.S.C. 1681e ( b ) Inaccurate information can not be maintained.

2. Conflicting Last Reported Dates : Different reporting dates across credit bureaus.

Violation : 15 U.S.C. 1681e ( b ) Credit data must be consistent and verifiable.

3. Inconsistent Date of Last Activity Entries : Reported with multiple different dates.

Violation : 15 U.S.C. 1681c ( a ) Inconsistent activity dates create false credit history.

4. Different Date of Last Payment Entries : One report shows a date while others do not.

Violation : 15 U.S.C. 1681s-2 Furnishers must report accurate account details.

5. Conflicting Payment Status : Reported as both Collection/Charge-Off and Late 120 Days.

Violation : 15 U.S.C. 1681e ( b ) Account statuses must be clearly defined and consistent.

Due to these violations, this account is not being reported accurately, fairly, or consistently, which is negatively impacting my creditworthiness. Under the FCRA, I request immediate deletion of this account from my credit file. If verification is attempted instead of deletion, I request written proof from the data furnisher validating each conflicting detail.

If I do not receive a resolution within 30 days, I am prepared to escalate this matter with legal action or a complaint to the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau ( CFPB ) and Federal Trade Commission ( FTC ).

Please send written confirmation of your findings and actions regarding this dispute.

Complaint narrative:
XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXXXXXX I am submitting a formal dispute regarding late payment entries reported within the past two years on my credit file. These late payments resulted from unauthorized interference with my financial accounts due to a cybersecurity breach on my mobile device. As they are not a reflection of my financial behavior, I am requesting their immediate removal. 
Issue Summary : I unknowingly downloaded a VPN application on my mobile device. This VPN, intended for privacy protection, contained security vulnerabilities that allowed unauthorized users to access my device. As a result : 1. Unknown third parties gained access to my financial login credentials.

2. My automatic payment settings were altered without my knowledge.

3. This interference led to the late payments that are now inaccurately reflected on my credit report. 
FCRA & Federal Violations Committed : Under the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ) 15 U.S.C. 1681s-2 ( a ) ( 1 ) ( A ), furnishers are prohibited from reporting inaccurate or unverifiable data. Since these late payments resulted from unauthorized external interference, they are inaccurate and must be removed immediately.

Additionally, under FCRA 1681i, I have the right to dispute any information that can not be fully substantiated. 
The late payments in question do not meet verification requirements due to the nature of the incident.

Furthermore, the Electronic Fund Transfer Act ( EFTA ) 15 U.S.C. 1693g ( a ) states that consumers can not be held liable for unauthorized electronic transactions. Since my account settings were tampered with, these late payments were not my responsibility and should not be attributed to me. 
Requested Resolution : I am requesting the following actions : 1. Immediate removal of all late payments from the past two years that were impacted by this unauthorized interference.

2. A written confirmation verifying that these late payments have been removed.

3. A compliance review to ensure that my account information is reported accurately in accordance with federal regulations. 
If action is not taken to resolve this matter, I will have no choice but to pursue small claims court proceedings to ensure that my rights under FCRA and EFTA are upheld. However, I trust that in good faith, you will follow the law regardless, and I hope this will be resolved amicably.

Please confirm resolution of this dispute at your earliest convenience.
