Complaint narrative:
This debt collector has engaged in practices that violate the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act ( FDCPA ). They have reported an account that I did not consent to, and there is no signed agreement from me authorizing it. A valid legal contract requires the signatures of both parties, and I was not involved in such an agreement. Furthermore, they failed to adhere to the proper 5-step validation process as mandated by the FDCPA. These actions clearly infringe upon my rights under the law, and I am entitled to compensation for these violations. I demand the immediate removal of this accountfrommyrecord.

Complaint narrative:
I am a member of the XXXX vs. XXXX XXXX XXXX class action lawsuit. My Borrower Defense application for discharge was approved by the Dept. of Education, and I am part of " Decision Group 2. '' Under the terms of the settlement, I am owed a refund for all payments made towards my eligible loans as well as a full discharge ( {$0.00} balance, removal of loans from credit reports ).

According to my records, I am owed $ XXXX. My loan balance still shows {$2000.00} and is accruing interest. My credit report still shows the full loans active. 

I would like to know when this will be resolved as Nelnet is already in violation of the settlement for delaying the relief. I would also like an accurate quote for my refund amount and when I will receive it. 

This has been mandated by the court to be completed and Nelnet refuses to provide accurate information.

Company: Rowland Avenue Management, Inc. A/KA Columbia Debt Recovery, LLC d/b/a Genesis
State: FL

Complaint narrative:
Further Request to Cease Collection Efforts and Remove Debt from Credit Reports This is in response to your recent communication regarding the debt you allege I owe. After reviewing your response and the supporting documents, I have significant concerns about your compliance with federal laws, particularly the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act ( FDCPA ) and the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ). I believe that your continued attempts to collect this debt and report it to the credit bureaus may violate both of these laws.

Here are the specific issues : 1. Debt Validation Not Sufficient Under the FDCPA, 15 U.S.C. 1692g, you are required to provide competent validation of the debt. The documents provided in your response do not adequately demonstrate my legal obligation to pay Columbia Debt Recovery. Specifically, the validation lacks key elements, such as a written contract or agreement directly between myself and Columbia Debt Recovery or the original creditor. Therefore, you have not established the legal right to collect this debt. 
2. Violation of the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ) If you are continuing to report this debt to the credit bureaus without proper validation, this may constitute a violation of the FCRA. Reporting unverifiable information to the credit bureaus can be considered illegal under this act, and I request that any negative reporting associated with this alleged debt be immediately removed from my credit reports.

3. Cease Collection Requests I have previously requested that all collection activity related to this alleged debt cease until proper validation is provided. Despite this, you continue to engage in collection activity, which is in direct violation of my rights under the FDCPA. I demand that you cease all collection efforts immediately.

Attached is the original Cease and Desist and Debt Validation and Verification I sent that you failed to properly answer.

Complaint narrative:
Reviewed most recent credit report and I noticed a collection that did not belong to me. After reaching out to the creditors, I was advised to contact the CRA to have the collection/charge off disputed and investigated as they do not have the ability to do so. After contacting the CRA I was meant with push-back even though I expressed the collection in questions did not belong to me. 

Under code 15 USC 1692g, 15 USC 1681C-2 & 15 USC 1681S-2 this is a clear violation of inaccurate reporting. I feel that these accounts are adversely affecting my credit report and costing me thousands of dollars in interest every year and ability to obtain new credit to purchase a home.
