Company: Credit Protection Association, L.P.
State: DC

Complaint narrative:
This complaint arises out of a dispute I sent the collection agency after finding out inaccuracies in my credit report. To date, they have not sent a response to validate the debt. I believe this debt to be not mine but rather was obtained illegally ( identity theft ) by someone who used my name and social security number to obtain cable services. I have another complaint filed with another collection agency for the same original creditor ( XXXX ). I would like to get a copy of the original bill from the creditor so that I can move further with disputing the debt. Attached is the letter ( with attachment ) I sent to the collection agency.

After XXXX XXXX hung up the phone on me, I called back and found out the name of the supervisor, XXXX XXXX. I was advised that she would call me back after she finished her call. I am still waiting for that call.

Complaint narrative:
I have been countinously working with BSI with an authorized XXXX party. The XXXX party is representing me in this case, and she has had numerous contacts and supplied multiple requested documents but the lender is failing to communicate or provide support in this loan modification phase. We are told to provide same documents over and over again, SPOCs assigned by the lender keep changing and honestly I feel that my file has no communication log or tasks completed. I ask questions and no answers are given from the lender, and at this point we are very frusterated and would like a work history report on our file and this matter escalated who can diligently review our case for loan modification. 

I have been in financial distress and have had major medical illness in my family, and all documents have been provided to lender, we still can not communicate efficiently on the outcome of our loan modification. 

Thank youXXXX XXXX

Complaint narrative:
I am writing to dispute the disposition of the date closed on XXXX accounts and XXXX public record on my Transunion Credit Report. XXXX accounts were with XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX, and show the date " closed '' as XXXX/XXXX/XXXX, but they were closed on XXXX/XXXX/XXXX ( XXXX/XXXX/XXXX was the date of discharge. XXXX XXXX closed and wrote off all of my counts even previous to my filing for bankruptcy and at the time of bankruptcy notified me os such, as well as notified me that my membership was terminated. It is impossible by virtue of this fact, that the accounts are shown " closed '' over 1.5 years later. Similarly on the public bankruptcy record, Transunion shows the date " paid '' as XXXX/XXXX/XXXX, but this inaccurate in this was the date of discharge, the date of " paid '' or " closed '' is XXXX/XXXX/XXXX. I owed no monies due to the discharge, so this should not be characterized as " paid ''. Transunion has claimed these items to be " verified '', but they are inaccurate.

Complaint narrative:
The XXXX reporting agencies ( Trans Union LLC, XXXX, and XXXX ) are reporting fraudulent information in the public on my credit report and others, based on biases, even going as far as attaching my daughter 's credit profile on my credit report, when it is clear that we have very different Social Security Numbers and names. This is evidence of how unregulated credit reporting agencies are, and how the Enforcement Agencies are not doing their jobs. This is a sign of desperation on the part of the credit reporting agencies to make money and attack the American Consumer. CFPB has lack doing their job of Protecting the Consumer. We as the Consumer has no contract with the reporting agencies. The Reporting agencies has created bias toward XXXX groups of people. Which the major groups of people are XXXX and XXXX. These XXXX groups of people are targets by credit-reporting agencies, the agencies continue reporting fraudulent information ; ignore the Federal laws, and not properly verifying the information on the consumer credit reports. They are not showing the consumer the verified information of their process as evident of their verification. Then the credit reporting agencies lower the credit scores after the negative, collections, and wrongful information is dispute and removed. The reporting agencies continue to report the unverified information without evidence to prove the account are correct. Trans Union LLC, XXXX, XXXX has not sent the original contracts to me the consumer as evidence of their report by which the law requires. Compared to other groups of people, the XXXX XXXX 's and the XXXX 's scores remain very low despite the information on both groups ' credit reports being the same. I am reporting this information to CFPB first as an enforcement agencies as requires by law. My next step is to have both CFPB and the XXXX credit reporting agencies investigated for violation of the law, and violation of not enforcing the law ...

State: CA

Complaint narrative:
My credit score dropped from XXXX last winter to XXXX. I did n't know what could have been the issue since I pay my bills on time each month. I ordered a credit report and learned that XXXX XXXX who issued a credit card to my XXXX year old unemployed son two years ago reported to TransUnion and XXXX that I was delinquent in paying a credit card bill. I never applied for a card from XXXX XXXX, my son applied without my knowledge. My son was not employed on a regular basis when he received the credit card. He could n't find a full time job and has now returned to school to get a XXXX degree to try and find employment in his proposed career. He has been unable to pay off the {$1000.00} debt he incurred as a result of his unemployment status. XXXX XXXX sent offers to my home address regarding paying off the outstanding balance at a reduced amount. I suggested that he authorize me to negotiate on his behalf since I did n't want him to impair his credit which could negatively impact his job prospects. I had no knowledge that by doing so the bank would add me as a borrower and report the delinquency on my credit report XXXX. I called on his behalf and was unable to negotiate anything since the bank insisted the debt be paid off within XXXX months. I told them he could repay it within a year after completing an unpaid internship that is to hopefully lead to a paid job. I knew he did n't have the financial means to pay off the debt currently. I told the bank official I did n't want to pay off his debt since it would n't teach him a financial lesson. My refusal to pay off debt my son incurred on a credit card he should not have been issued resulted in XXXX XXXX reporting the delinquency as mine. I have spent years maintaining excellent credit and pay my bills on time and in full each month. The actions XXXX XXXX took by reporting my adult son 's delinquency as mine is wrong. I would like this investigated and would like XXXX XXXX to withdraw the negative credit report.
