Complaint narrative:
I am writing to dispute certain negative entries currently listed on my credit report. Despite multiple requests and the submission of all necessary supporting documents, these inaccuracies have not been properly addressed. My repeated follow-ups have been met with little to no action, and the continued presence of these errors has caused significant financial and emotional stress. Under the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ), I have the legal right to an accurate and verifiable credit report. I am requesting that you take immediate and thorough steps to investigate and correct these items. Failure to resolve them in a timely manner would constitute a violation of my rights under federal law.

Company: ENCORE CAPITAL GROUP INC.
State: FL

Complaint narrative:
I mailed a certified debt validation request to Midland Credit XXXX  on XX/XX/year>, regarding an account they are reporting for {$870.00}. Under the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ) and XXXX XXXX Code XXXX, they are legally required to respond within XXXX  days. 

I received no response within that time window, so I proceeded with sending a Final Demand for Deletion after the XXXX period had passed. Then, on XX/XX/XXXX, I finally received a letter from XXXX dated XX/XX/year> but the envelope had no postal stamp, and there is no way to verify when it was actually mailed. 

Even assuming the letter was created on XX/XX/XXXX, it still took XXXX  days to reach me which is unreasonable for any first-class communication and raises serious concerns of backdating or delayed mailing, which would violate the FCRA and FDCPA response timelines. 

Their response contained a basic itemization and ownership statement, but no signed contract or application linking me to the alleged XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX This means the account was not fully validated, and per federal law, should not be reported to the credit bureaus.

On XX/XX/year>, I received a notification from my credit monitoring service that a loan application had been submitted with my information and I needed to contact XXXX 

On XX/XX/year> I contacted XXXX and was told I could only get information by mail. To find out if an account had been opened and to block the credit I needed to mail them two forms with ALL of my personal information to them with a copy of my social security card and drivers license. 

This is extremely sensitive information needed to execute fraud and I find it unacceptable that this needs to be sent via insecure means to prevent said fraud.

Complaint narrative:
On XX/XX/year>, my bank accounts were compromised in a case of account takeover fraud. 

A few days prior, on XX/XX/year>, my XXXX credit card was hacked. Fraudulent charges appeared, including a hotel stay, XXXX rides, and XXXX purchases. I immediately reported the activity. XXXX XXXX Department closed the account, issued me a new card, and applied temporary credits, confirming that I was not responsible for the charges On XX/XX/year>, the same bad actors accessed my XXXX  personal and business accounts. They : Moved money from my personal checking account into my business account, Made XXXX unauthorized XXXX transfers to a recipient I never knew, added, or authorized, Then used XXXX XXXX to send themselves additional funds. 

I had no knowledge of or involvement in these transactions. Because the transfers appeared to originate from my phones IP address, XXXX  fraud department treated them as authorized, despite my phone being compromised. 

I immediately filed a fraud claim with XXXX  and completed their XXXX XXXX form attesting under oath that I did not authorize or benefit from these transactions. I also filed an FTC Identity Theft Report ( Ref XXXX XXXXXXXX ). XXXX  initially issued me a provisional {$4000.00} credit. 

On XX/XX/year>, XXXX  reversed the {$4000.00} credit and denied my claim, stating the transactions were initiated by me. On XX/XX/year>, XXXX  also denied an additional {$4900.00} with the same reasoning. 

This determination contradicts the evidence : My signed error resolution form shows I did not authorize or benefit from the transactions. 

XXXX XXXX records show the fraudsters used my email address and IP address to send funds to accounts they controlled, proving this was account takeover, not consent. 

XXXX XXXX  simultaneously confirmed parallel fraud and treated it appropriately. 

Despite this, XXXX  has refused to provide a full explanation of their investigation without subpoena and continues to treat these transactions as authorized. This is a violation of the Electronic Fund Transfer Act ( XXXX ) and Regulation XXXX, which require banks to conduct a reasonable, good-faith investigation and reimburse consumers for unauthorized transfers.

Complaint narrative:
I am filing a complaint against my loan servicer, XXXX, for inaccurately reporting multiple late payments on my credit report. 

I was repeatedly told by loan officers at XXXX that my accounts would be paused, placed in forbearance, or temporarily suspended. Based on their instructions, I believed no payments were due during these periods. However, they failed to process the pause correctly and never notified me by email, text, or phone that the loans had become delinquent. 

As a result, I was unaware of any issues until I reviewed my credit report and saw the late payments listed. I have attempted to dispute these inaccuracies directly with the credit bureaus and with XXXX, but the late payments remain, despite the fact that they are the result of internal error and poor communication by the loan servicer.
