Complaint narrative:
I lodged a complaint with these Bureaus a month ago, but unfortunately, the inaccurate information on my report still remains. I haven't received any communication from the Bureaus, except for the notification that you sent stating that the company has responded to my complaint. How can I be certain that they have thoroughly checked the inaccuracies on my report? What methods did they employ to validate the accounts? This whole situation is incredibly frustrating! It's been more than 30 days since I filed a complaint with these Bureaus, and yet the disputed accounts have not been updated. If this continues, I will have no choice but to take legal action due to the immense stress this has caused me. Moreover, I am also concerned about the security of my personal data, as it was affected by the XXXX, Experian, and XXXX data breach.

Subject : Dispute of inaccurate information on my credit report Account XXXX Credit Bureau : EXPERIAN Account Type XXXX Credit Card Dear XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX rights under the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA, 15 U.S.C. 1681 ) and the Truth in Lending Act ( TILA, 15 U.S.C. 1601 ), I am formally disputing inaccurate and unverifiable information related to my account with XXXX XXXX, which has been marked as a " charge-off. '' Upon reviewing my credit report, I have found the following discrepancies between the credit bureaus XXXX, Experian, and XXXX : XXXX : Highest reported balance : {$350.00} Current balance owed : {$260.00} Payment status : Closed, reported as " Collection/Chargeoff. '' Credit limit : {$250.00}. 
Reason for closure : " Account closed by consumer. '' Experian : Highest reported balance : {$0.00} Current balance owed : {$260.00} Payment status : Closed, reported as " Collection/Chargeoff. '' Credit limit : {$250.00}. 
Reason for closure : " Credit line closed at consumer request. '' XXXX : XXXX reported balance : {$260.00} Current balance owed : {$260.00} Payment status : Closed, reported as " Collection/Chargeoff. '' Credit limit : {$0.00}. 
Reason for closure : " Unpaid balance reported as a loss by the creditor. '' These discrepancies show significant inconsistencies, particularly regarding the highest balance, credit limit, and reasons for closing the account. XXXX and Experian report a credit limit of {$250.00}, while XXXX reports no credit limit at all. Additionally, the reasons for closing the account vary : XXXX and Experian indicate that the account was closed at the consumer 's request, while XXXX reports it as a loss for the creditor. These differences violate the FCRA ( 15 U.S.C. 1681e ( b ) ), which requires credit bureaus to ensure maximum possible accuracy in the information they report.

Moreover, under the Truth in Lending Act ( TILA, 15 U.S.C. 1601 ), I am entitled to clear and accurate information about my credit obligations and payment history. The discrepancies found negatively affect the accuracy of my credit history and do not adequately reflect my financial situation.

I request that, in compliance with the FCRA and TILA, you investigate this dispute and remove the inaccurate information, including the charge-off, from my credit report. The discrepancies between the credit bureaus show that the reported information is not accurate. Please send me the results of your investigation and a corrected report as soon as possible. 

I have attached copies of my credit reports showing the mentioned discrepancies for your reference. 

Thank you for your prompt attention to this matter. I look forward to your timely response.

Company: CCS Financial Services, Inc.

Complaint narrative:
I am currently facing an issue with a debt collection companies that are reporting on my credit report, which I believe is in violation of the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act ( FDCPA ). Specifically, I have no contracts or agreements with this company. This company has not provided any documentation containing my signature that authorizes them to report on my credit or engage in business with me. The following are the specific FDCPA laws that I believe these debt collection companies have violated : 809 Validation of Debts ( 15 U.S.C. 1692g ) : Debt collectors are required to provide verification of the debt within XXXX XXXX  of the initial communication. They must send a written notice containing the amount of the debt, the name of the creditor, and a statement that unless the consumer disputes the debt within XXXX XXXX  it will be assumed valid. In this case, the above-mentioned debt collection companies have not provided such validation or verification of the debt. 807 False or Misleading Representations ( 15 U.S.C. 1692e ) : Debt collectors are prohibited from using any false, deceptive, or misleading representation in connection with the collection of any debt. Reporting to credit bureaus without a legitimate basis and without proper documentation or contract constitutes a misleading representation of the debt 's validity. 808 Unfair Practices ( 15 U.S.C. 1692f ) : Debt collectors may not use unfair or unconscionable means to collect or attempt to collect any debt. Reporting a debt to credit bureaus without having the proper contractual authority or verification is considered an unfair practice. 818 Furnishing Certain Deceptive Forms ( 15 U.S.C. 1692j ) : It is illegal for debt collectors to design, compile, and furnish any form knowing that it would be used to create a false belief in a consumer that a person other than the creditor of such consumer is participating in the collection of or in an attempt to collect a debt such consumer allegedly owes. Given the lack of documentation and absence of a contractual agreement, the actions of this company is in violation of the aforementioned provisions of the FDCPA.
