Product: Debt collection — Credit card debt
Issue: Attempts to collect debt not owed — Debt is not yours
Company: ENCORE CAPITAL GROUP INC.
State: TX

Complaint narrative:
I have sent Midland Credit Management Inc 3 separate certified letters requesting copies of any kind of contract or some agreement containing my signature. I have requested anything they can provide to prove this is my debt. To date all they have sent is a copy of billing statement. That is in no way proof of debt ownership. I have corresponded with XXXX XXXX XXXX on three separate occasions and each time she returns the same form letter to me with the same statement, ( 'After reviewing the information you provided, our account notes and information provided by the previous creditor, we have concluded that our information is accurate. In addition, the information has been accurately submitted to credit reporting agencies. ' ) Apparently, they have information and account notes with information provided by the previous creditor, XXXX XXXX XXXX  XXXX. I can't think of a valid reason why Midland Credit Management XXXX is withholding information that supposedly proves I own this debt. If they have any information, I expect they would provide it to me but as it appears at this moment, I am being blackmailed by this company. They are demanding payment on a debt that is not mine and that they can't prove belongs to me. This is not a fair or legal practice. I have filed a lawsuit in my home state of Texas on XX/XX/year> and am suing Midland Credit Management Inc for defamation and negligent enablement of identity fraud, violation of the fair debt collection practices act and violation of the fair credit reporting act.

Issue: Attempts to collect debt not owed — Debt is not yours
Company: Credit Corp Solutions Inc.
State: NC

Complaint narrative:
I am writing to seek your assistance regarding a concerning issue that has negatively impacted my financial standing and, consequently, my ability to pursue significant life milestones. On [ date ], I received a notification from XXXX Credit Bureau informing me that my credit score had decreased due to an outstanding debt in the amount of {$11000.00} attributed to " Credit Corp Solutions. '' This notification came as a shock to me as I am confident that I do not owe any such debt. 

Upon receiving this notification, I promptly contacted XXXX Credit Bureau to address the issue. They assured me that they would initiate a dispute process on my behalf. Upon further investigation, I discovered that the debt is associated with another individual named XXXX XXXX, and the account type is listed as a debt buyer with an opening date of XX/XX/year>. It is evident that this debt does not belong to me, and I am unclear as to why it is appearing on my credit report. 

As someone who takes great pride in maintaining a responsible financial profile, this unjustified entry on my credit report is deeply concerning, particularly as I am on the verge of embarking on the significant milestone of purchasing a home. All of my existing accounts are in excellent standing, and I have diligently managed my financial obligations. Therefore, it is distressing to encounter such an erroneous and detrimental mark on my credit history. 

This creditor must prove, that this debt is mine. Such as a signed contracted, with a date, address and my signature. 

Needless to say it is not mine and needs to be removed.

Product: Debt collection — Credit card debt
Issue: Took or threatened to take negative or legal action — Threatened or suggested your credit would be damaged
Company: ENCORE CAPITAL GROUP INC.
State: DE

Complaint narrative:
I have been in a dispute with Midland Credit Management, a debt collector, regarding a debt that I believe is inaccurately attributed to me. Despite my numerous attempts to resolve this issue, Midland Credit Management has failed to provide any substantial evidence to validate the debt. This lack of response has left me in a state of uncertainty and frustration. 

Furthermore, its important to note that I have never conducted any business with Midland Credit Management, nor have I applied my signature to any document associated with them. Despite this, the debt, which was previously removed from my record, has been reinserted multiple times without any justification or prior notice. 

This recurring issue not only affects my credit score but also raises questions about Midland Credit Managements practices and their adherence to the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act. This experience has been stressful and disheartening, as it seems my efforts to rectify the situation are being disregarded.

Company: TRANSUNION INTERMEDIATE HOLDINGS, INC.
State: NV

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. 

Also, I was never disclosed of ALL three of my Opt-Out disclosures which states a financial institution may not disclose nonpublic personal information to a nonaffiliated third party under 15 U.S. Code 6802 unless all three disclosures were satisfied but they were not.
