Complaint narrative:
CONTINUING FCRA VIOLATION AFTER COMPANY ADMISSION OF FACTS Previous CFPB Complaint # XXXX was closed XX/XX/XXXX with Bounce AI admitting they purchased this debt on XX/XX/XXXX, yet they continue reporting it was delinquent on XX/XX/XXXXXXXX  - seven months BEFORE they owned it. 

TIMELINE OF EVENTS : - XX/XX/XXXXXXXX XXXX Original XXXX account opened ( per Bounce AI 's admission ) - XX/XX/XXXX : Account went delinquent with XXXXXXXX XXXX XX/XX/XXXX : XXXX charged off account - XX/XX/XXXX : BOUNCE AI PURCHASED the debt - Current : Bounce AI reports THEIR account was delinquent XX/XX/XXXX THE VIOLATION : Bounce AI is reporting pre-ownership delinquencies as their own account 's delinquency. Their credit reporting shows : - Account Opened : XX/XX/XXXX - First Delinquency : XX/XX/XXXX This is mathematically impossible and violates FCRA Section 623. 

COMPANY 'S RESPONSE : In response to my first complaint, Bounce AI CONFIRMED these dates but claimed they can report the original creditor 's delinquency date as their own. This is false. Debt buyers must report : 1. Their collection account opened date ( XX/XX/XXXX ) 2. Original creditor information separately 3. NOT claim pre-ownership delinquencies as their own CREDIT BUREAU COMPLICITY XXXX XXXX  " verified '' these impossible dates ( Confirmation # XXXX ) without actual investigation, violating FCRA Section 611. 

HARM : This false reporting shows a recent collection with impossible dates, severely damaging my credit score and ability to obtain credit, housing, and employment.

Complaint narrative:
I am writing to express my deep concern regarding the unavailability of my credit data from your bureau. As a diligent consumer who consistently monitors their credit profile, I am troubled by the recent discovery that vital information seems to be missing from your records. Despite being proactive in managing my finances and ensuring timely payments on all accounts, I have encountered significant hurdles due to the absence of my credit data from your bureau. This has not only caused inconvenience but has also put me in a precarious position, especially concerning recent financial transactions and loan applications. I have made numerous attempts to address this issue through your customer service channels, but regrettably, the resolution process has been slow and ineffective. As a result, I find myself facing unnecessary challenges in accessing essential financial services and opportunities.

Company: EQUIFAX, INC.
State: OH

Complaint narrative:
I am respectfully requesting a review of the late payment currently being reported on my credit file as open or unresolved, as I believe this information to be inaccurate and misleading. This reporting is factually inaccurate and materially misleading. The payment in question has either been fully resolved, or I was never late as alleged. The continued reporting of this item as delinquent constitutes a violation of the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ), specifically 15 U.S.C. 1681e ( b ), which mandates consumer reporting agencies to ensure the maximum possible accuracy of the information furnished. The presence of this inaccurate entry has directly harmed my credit standing, resulting in adverse effects on my credit score and potentially impeding future opportunities related to credit, housing, and employment. Accordingly, I demand a full investigation of this matter, and if the late payment can not be conclusively verified as accurate and timely, it must be immediately corrected or permanently deleted from my credit report.

I have previously disputed Experian, Equifax and Transunion regarding multiple accounts that are inaccurate. As of today, I have not received any responses or proof that they are doing proper investigation with my dispute. They ignored my rights to obtain an accurate credit report. They are non-compliant with the FCRA. These erroneous reports are badly hurting my credibility. I'm certain that my rights as a consumer protected under the law have been violated by this inaccurate information.

Issue: Attempts to collect debt not owed — Debt was result of identity theft
Company: Amsher Collection Services, Inc.
State: FL

Complaint narrative:
A {$2000.00} collection account has been reported on my credit file that does not belong to me. This account is the result of identity theft, as I never opened, authorized, or benefited from it in any way. My personal information was used without my knowledge or consent, and I have since confirmed that the account does not trace back to any transaction or agreement I have made. 

I have formally disputed this account with the credit reporting agencies and the furnisher, but despite providing documentation and asserting my rights, the account remains on my report. Under the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ), consumers are entitled to accurate credit reporting. Specifically, 15 U.S.C. 1681c-2 requires credit reporting agencies to block fraudulent information resulting from identity theft, and 15 U.S.C. 1681i requires them to conduct a reasonable reinvestigation and remove unverifiable or inaccurate information. 

The continued reporting of this collection is a direct violation of these provisions, as the account is fraudulent and can not be verified as mine.
