Complaint narrative:
When I reach out to a credit collection company and request the signed contract with your signature, you're essentially asking them to provide proof that you agreed to the terms they are claiming. Their response of " verified '' typically means they have verified the debt exists and perhaps that they have the right to collect it, but it doesn't necessarily mean they have provided the specific proof you requested. 

In the context of debt collection, the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act ( FDCPA ) gives you the right to request validation of the debt, including asking for a copy of the original signed contract. This is important because without your signature on a contract, they may not have a strong legal basis to pursue the debt.

If they only responded with " verified, '' it could imply several things : They believe they have sufficient proof of the debt 's existence but did not provide the specific document you requested.

They may be asserting that the debt is valid based on their records or information they have.

They might not have the signed contract readily available or may choose not to provide it. 
In any case, if you're disputing the debt or need further clarification, you have the right to continue to ask for verification and to ensure that any debt collection efforts comply with the law. If they are unable or unwilling to provide the signed contract, you may want to seek advice from a consumer rights attorney or a financial counselor to understand your options further.

My account with ( XXXX XXXXXXXX XXXX XXXX  ) was never late! I have had exceptional payment history witH XXXX XXXXXXXX and all payments were placed on Autopay. This late payment that is reporting is a result on a systematic error on their end processing my payment.

Complaint narrative:
I am listing accounts below that have been reported inaccurately on my credit report. In compliance with the Fair Credit Reporting Act and as a gesture of respect to the Federal Trade Commission Committee on accuracy and completeness of credit information I am formally writing in today to dispute negative information appearing on my credit. This incorrect information is greatly hindering me from getting the credit score I deserve and hopefully, this letter will resolve all the issues on my credit. I demand to see Verifiable Proof ( an original Consumer Contract with my Signature on it ) of the accounts listed below. Your failure to positively verify these accounts has hurt my ability to obtain credit.

Complaint narrative:
I have received your computer-generated notice informing me that you did not do any action or investigation for the disputes I sent out last time because you think I may have used a third-party credit repair company. Not only do I think this is just your delaying tactics to get an extra 30 days to fulfill my first request, but I also think it's a clear violation of the Fair Credit Reporting Act. Again, please be informed that you are reporting inaccurate and incomplete information on my credit report.

Complaint narrative:
The Fair Credit Reporting Act ( 15 U.S. Code 1681 ) says ( 1 ) The banking system is dependent upon fair and accurate credit reporting. Inaccurate credit reports directly impair the efficiency of the banking system, and unfair credit reporting methods undermine the public confidence which is essential to the continued functioning of the banking system. 

So whenever there is a violation under the FCRA, it impairs the efficiency of the banking system. This is a violation of my privacy with my consumer report, since I control what is listed and what is not. In the event that any accounts are reported without my written consent, that is considered identity theft. 

This is a violation of both 15 U.S. Code 1681b ( 2 ) and 15 U.S. Code 1681c-2. This leads way to civil liability against the credit reporting agency for negligent and willful noncompliance under 15 U.S. Code 1681n, which allows for {$1000.00} per violation, for account listed without my expressed written consent.

Complaint narrative:
On XX/XX/year>, I began the dispute process with the credit agencies XX/XX/XXXX experian, and XXXX for accounts I had paid in settlement. I uploaded the documents into the dispute process along with a statement explaining the accounts were settled. The credit agencies refused to conduct an investigation and placed on my report with 24 to 48 hours that they conducted investigations, and my information remained the same with the exception that they credit agencies added/updated additional wrongful information which caused my credit scored to drop at least XXXX to XXXX additional points. I file another dispute and provide documentation with each agency and within 24 to 48 hours the investigations were completed again with more wrongful information added which lowered my scores even more. I called each credit agency and spoke with XXXX ( XXXX, XXXX, ID : XXXX ), and I was informed that it doesn't matter what information the consumers submit, they were not going to update the consumers credit report. I asked her what the purposes was for uploading information into the dispute process if you are not using it to update my credit file. She attempted to clean up her answer. I made multiple attempts to call experian and they have made it where you can't speak to a specialist. Everything is computer operated and it advise you that you can't speak to a specialist. Also, at the bottom of the report it gives you your case number, but you can't use it when you attempt to speak to a representative about your dispute process. All three credit reporting agencies has retaliated against me for inquiring about the update on my credit. Every day I get alerts where they have gone in and added information to my credit report where it continues to lower my scores despite the documentation I provided to them. I also reached out the XX/XX/XXXX and they all informed me that they did not provide any information to the credit agencies because my accounts were in consolidation. Although my accounts were settled in full, the credit agencies were in and listed them as collection accounts and charged off accounts.

Complaint narrative:
Re : FCRA Violation - Incorrectly Reporting as Deceased I am writing to formally demand compensation for the damages I have suffered as a result of XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX 's violation of the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ). XXXX has erroneously reported me as deceased on my credit report, causing significant harm to my financial standing and personal well-being. 

( I discovered this inaccuracy on [ XX/XX/year> ], when I obtained a copy of my credit report and noticed the erroneous " deceased '' status. As you are aware, the FCRA requires credit reporting agencies to maintain accurate information, and this blatant inaccuracy constitutes a clear violation of 15 U.S.C. 1681e ( b ). 

The FCRA also mandates that upon being notified of an error, a credit reporting agency must conduct a reasonable investigation. Despite my attempts to rectify this issue through your dispute resolution process over the phone, the inaccurate information has not been corrected in a timely manner, further exacerbating the harm done to me ). 

As a result of XXXX 's failure to maintain accurate information, I have experienced the following damages : 1. **Emotional Distress : ** The distress and anxiety caused by being reported as deceased have had a profound negative impact on my mental health.

2. **Credit Denial : ** I have been denied credit and faced significant financial inconvenience due to this erroneous report.

3. **Financial Loss : ** The inability to access credit has led to additional financial losses, including higher interest rates and missed opportunities.

Under the FCRA, I am entitled to compensation for these damages. I am seeking a payment of {$1000.00} to cover the emotional distress, financial losses, and any other applicable damages as a result of this violation.

I expect a written response to this letter within 30 days, acknowledging your receipt of this demand and outlining your intended course of action. If I do not receive a satisfactory response within this time frame, I will pursue all available legal remedies to enforce my rights under the FCRA.

Please send your response to the address listed on my credit report. 

Sincerely, XXXX XXXX
