Product: Debt collection — Medical debt
Issue: Written notification about debt — Didn't receive notice of right to dispute
Company: LEE S. DENNISON, P.C.
State: NJ

Complaint narrative:
I am filing this formal complaint against XXXX XXXX XXXX and its legal representative, Lee S. Dennison, P.C., regarding a debt collection lawsuit ( Docket No. XXXX in the Superior Court of New Jersey XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX scheduled for XX/XX/XXXX. The plaintiff and their attorney have engaged in improper collection practices, including failure to provide proper notification of the alleged debt and denying me the opportunity to dispute or validate the charges before initiating legal action. 

Under the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act ( FDCPA ), XXXX XXXXXXXX XXXX XXXX, debt collectors are required to provide written notice of the debt, including the amount owed, the creditors name, and the consumers right to dispute the debt within XXXX  days. However, I was never properly notified of this alleged debt or provided with any written notice prior to receiving the court summons. 

The plaintiffs attorney, Lee S. Dennison, P.C., failed to adhere to this requirement by initiating legal action without first providing me the opportunity to validate or dispute the debt. This is a direct violation of the FDCPA and my rights as a consumer. 

The lawsuit references a service date of XX/XX/XXXX, but I have no recollection of receiving services from XXXX XXXX XXXX on this date. Additionally, I have health insurance that should have covered any legitimate medical services, and the plaintiff has failed to clarify whether the alleged charges were properly billed to my insurance. 

I am requesting that the CFPB investigate whether XXXX XXXX XXXX and their legal representatives properly verified the legitimacy of this debt before filing the lawsuit. 

Under New Jersey law ( XXXX XXXXXXXX et seq. ), debt collectors are required to act in good faith and provide clear documentation of the alleged debt. In this case : The plaintiffs attorney failed to provide adequate documentation detailing the services rendered, itemized charges, and any insurance payments or adjustments. 
They also failed to engage in pre-litigation communication, denying me the opportunity to request or review verification of the charges. 


Given the lack of transparency and improper notification, I am formally requesting that XXXX XXXX XXXX and Lee S. Dennison , P.C . provide the following documentation before the court hearing : Full itemized billing statements detailing the alleged service on XX/XX/XXXX. 
Proof that the service was properly billed to my health insurance provider. 
Evidence that the plaintiff provided me with proper notice of the debt and my right to dispute it, as required by law.

Company: WELLS FARGO & COMPANY
State: MD

Complaint narrative:
On XX/XX/2025 I received XXXX letters stating both my credit cards with Wells Fargo credit limits decreased DRAMATICALLY ( {$14000.00} to {$400.00} ) and ( {$12000.00} to {$6000.00} ) and the reasoning ( high card limit, late payments ) were none at which applied to me. When speaking to the executives he just kept repeating we can decrease your limits at any time per our contract agreement. The most frustrating part is I had just paid off a large amount on one of the cards prior to them decreasing my limits. I have no other reason than to believe because they are no longer making interest money from me off that card they chose to decrease it.

Complaint narrative:
disputed an inaccurate collection account XXXX XXXX XXXX with Experian. I provided clear evidence that the furnisher illegally updated the account while it was under dispute, which is a direct violation of FCRA 15 U.S.C. 1681s-2 ( a ) ( 3 ). 

Here is a timeline of the violations : XX/XX/year> I disputed the account with XXXX and XXXX. 
XX/XX/year> I sent a Debt Validation Letter to XXXX XXXX International via certified mail. 
XX/XX/year> The collection agency received and signed for my validation request ( proof attached ). 
XX/XX/year> I disputed this account again with Experian, and this time it remained under review instead of being immediately denied. 
XX/XX/year> While still under review, XXXX XXXX XXXX illegally updated the account, violating FCRA 15 U.S.C. 1681s-2 ( a ) ( 3 ) ( proof attached ). 
XX/XX/year> I sent Experian a demand for deletion due to this illegal update. 
XX/XX/year> Despite the active dispute, XXXX XXXX XXXX updated the account again, violating the FCRA a second time. 
XX/XX/year> I have not received validation of the debt from XXXX XXXX XXXX, nor have they sent the documents they promised in their CFPB response. 
XX/XX/year> I received a response from Experian stating that the account was verified as accurate despite clear evidence of unlawful updates during an active dispute. 

FCRA Violations by Experian : 1. Failure to Conduct a Reasonable Investigation Under FCRA 15 U.S.C. 1681i ( a ) ( 1 ) ( A ), credit bureaus must conduct a thorough investigation.

Experian ignored my evidence that the account was illegally updated while under dispute.

2. Failure to Prevent Illegal Updates During a Pending Dispute XXXX XXXX XXXX illegally updated the account multiple times while under dispute, violating FCRA 15 U.S.C. 1681s-2 ( a ) ( 3 ).

Experian allowed these illegal updates to remain instead of deleting the account as required by FCRA 15 U.S.C. 1681i ( a ) ( 5 ) ( A ).

Complaint narrative:
I submitted a dispute to you regarding multiple inaccuracies on my credit report, including incorrect personal information ( name, addresses ) and multiple inaccurate account entries. Despite providing supporting documents, such as my driver 's license, proof of address, and social security card, you have failed to correct these errors. These inaccuracies impact my credit standing and violate the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ), which requires credit bureaus to ensure maximum possible accuracy. Additionally, some of these accounts may involve debts that should have been reported differently under 1099-C tax laws. I formally requested verification and removal of these items, but you have not taken appropriate action.
