Product : Credit card or prepaid card Issue : Improper sharing of personal information Company : ZWICKER & ASSOCIATES, P.C. 

What happened? 
I am filing this complaint to report serious concerns regarding XXXX XXXX handling of consumer personal information, including the unauthorized exposure and transfer of Social Security numbers and other sensitive personal data during the sale of delinquent accounts to third-party debt collectors ZWICKER & ASSOCIATES P.C . A Law Firm Engaged in Debt Collection by purchasing consumer accounts and pretending to be a legal representation of XXXX XXXX when such relationship does not exist. 

XXXX XXXX appears to sell or transfer account data to debt collectors without adequate data protection, resulting in third parties gaining access to personally identifiable information ( PII ) such as my full name, address, date of birth, account numbers, and Social Security number. 

Furthermore, these debt collectors often pose as legal representatives of XXXX XXXX, using misleading tactics to coerce or threaten repayment. In doing so, they create confusion, cause emotional distress, and may violate both the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act ( FDCPA ) and Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ). 

This practice raises serious concerns about : Lack of proper disclosure about how personal data will be used once an account is charged off or sold. 

Potential violations of federal privacy laws. 

Deceptive practices by debt collectors who falsely represent themselves as attorneys or legal agents of XXXX XXXX

Require XXXX XXXX to issue formal documentation to consumers when an account is sold, specifying the new owner of the debt. 

Require immediate disciplinary action or penalties if found in violation of privacy or consumer protection laws.

Issue: Attempts to collect debt not owed — Debt is not yours
Company: F.H. Cann & Associates, Inc.
State: PA

Complaint narrative:
Received a collection letter from FH Cann dated Friday XX/XX/XXXX. 
I asked that this debt be verified and validated. They have failed to do so. 

I am formally responding to your collection letter dated Friday, XX/XX/XXXX, regarding the alleged debt in the amount of {$20000.00}. 

Pursuant to the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ) and the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act ( FDCPA ), 15 U.S.C. 1692g, 1692e, and related provisions, I dispute the validity of this alleged debt. The information you provided a mere summary of charges from XXXX does not meet the legal standard for proper debt validation. According to federal law, you are required to provide sufficient evidence to substantiate the debt, including, but not limited to, a signed contract, itemized account statements, and chain of custody of the debt ownership. 

Furthermore, I have verified that F.H. Cann & Associates , Inc. is not licensed as a collection agency in the state of Pennsylvania, as required under Pennsylvania law ( 63 P.S. 2201 et seq., the Pennsylvania Fair Credit Extension Uniformity Act and the Consumer Credit Code ). Attempting to collect a debt without a valid license is a violation of state law and exposes your company to statutory fines and penalties, including but not limited to fines up to {$10000.00} per violation under Pennsylvania law. 

Because your collection attempt violates both federal and state regulations, you are hereby instructed to immediately cease and desist all collection activities regarding this alleged account, including, but not limited to, phone calls, letters, emails, or reporting to any credit reporting agencies. 

If you fail to comply with this demand, I will not hesitate to file complaints with the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau ( CFPB ), the Pennsylvania Attorney Generals Office, the Federal Trade Commission ( FTC ), and pursue any available civil remedies, including statutory damages of up to {$1000.00} under 15 U.S.C. 1692k for each violation of the FDCPA, as well as actual damages, court costs, and attorneys fees. 

This letter serves as formal notice that any further attempts to collect this debt, absent full and proper validation as outlined above, will be considered willful noncompliance with the FDCPA and applicable Pennsylvania law.

Company: Experian Information Solutions Inc.

Complaint narrative:
I financed a purchase through XXXX back in XXXX of 2023 for a XXXX purchase and I never received it because it was delivered to the wrong recipient. Despite multiple attempts to resolve the issue with both parties as well as the delivery company responsible for delivering my order, the matter remains unresolved, and a charge-off has been reported on my Experian credit report. I believe this constitutes a violation of the Fair Credit Reporting Act and Unfair, Deceptive, or Abusive Acts or Practices. I am seeking the removal of this charge-off from my credit report. I have filed a dispute with both XXXX XXXX XXXX and Experian and they refuse to do anything to resolve the matter. XXXX also ignores all of my emails and refuses to help me when I call customer service. I should not be responsible for paying for something I never received. XXXX also deleted my account in retaliation because I was asking customer service about their policies.

Upon reviewing my credit report, I identified an inquiry that was not authorized by me and appears to be the result of fraudulent activity. Under the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ), Specifically, Section 604 ( a ), a credit inquiry can only be made with my explicit consent or as part of a transaction or application that I initiated. Since this inquiry does not meet these criteria, it is clear that it was made without my authorization and is therefore fraudulent.
