Product: Debt collection — Credit card debt
Issue: Took or threatened to take negative or legal action — Threatened to sue you for very old debt
Company: Data Search NY, Inc.
State: MD

Complaint narrative:
I am submitting a complaint against TrakAmerica regarding their handling of my debt collection. The debt is owed to XXXX and is currently " in collection '' with XXXX XXXX, XXXX, with TrakAmerica as their servicer. The debt is from XXXX, but they are reporting it to the credit bureaus as a XXXX account, using credit reporting as a tool to pressure for payment. Debt amount {$9100.00} Despite numerous attempts to obtain the necessary information from TrakAmerica, they have refused to provide their license number to collect debts in the state of Maryland. Additionally, they have continued to threaten me with legal action to collect on a debt that is time-barred and past the statute of limitations. 

Their refusal to provide their license number and their ongoing threats of legal action are causing undue stress and anxiety. These practices are not only unethical but also potentially illegal under the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act ( FDCPA ) and the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ).

Complaint narrative:
I opened a checking account on XX/XX/year> with a check from my parents for {$3000.00}. Etrade held my money until XX/XX/year>. Between XX/XX/year> and XX/XX/year> my account became restricted again XXXX. Both times called and fixed the problem. On XX/XX/year> suddenly I was unable to log in online and it said I had to call. When I called I was told that ETrade decided not to serve me as a client and that I would not be able to access the money that remained in my account. There is no way that a bank has any right to prevent me from accessing my money. If they want to close my account, fine. Then write me a check for whats in my account and we can part ways, but I'm not walking away without my money.

Company: Experian Information Solutions Inc.
State: TX

Complaint narrative:
I submitted a complaint against these Bureaus a month ago, yet the incorrect information on my report persists. To my surprise, I have not received any communication from the Bureaus, and they have already closed my complaint. Can you clarify why my complaint was closed without addressing the issue? Have they acknowledged or verified my dispute? I require confirmation that they have thoroughly investigated the inaccuracies on my report and validated the accounts. Additionally, could you provide information on the verification methods they employed? This situation is extremely frustrating, as it has been over XXXX days since I filed the complaint, and I anticipated updates to these accounts by now. If they are not updated promptly, I will be compelled to consider legal action due to the significant stress this has caused. Furthermore, I am worried about the security of my personal data, especially in light of the Equifax, Experian, and XXXX data breach.
