Consumer complaint received 2025-06-11 00:00:00
Product: Debt collection — Other debt
Issue: Attempts to collect debt not owed — Debt is not yours
Company: NRA Group, LLC
State: MA

Complaint narrative:
I am formally disputing multiple inaccurate and possibly fraudulent accounts now being reported by National Recovery Agency ( NRA ) on my credit report. I was never notified by NRA of any debt placement, and I do not recognize the debts they are attempting to collect. These appear to originate from XXXX XXXX, but no notice, validation, or documentation was ever provided to me. 

Specifically : NRA is reporting two separate accounts allegedly purchased from XXXX XXXX each with different balances : One account shows a balance of {$450.00}, opened XX/XX/XXXX The other shows {$1800.00}, opened XX/XX/XXXX Both are marked as collections, with seriously past due status Both are appearing on XXXX XXXX XXXX, but were never validated or acknowledged by me Additionally, I previously disputed and had a XXXX XXXX Account XXXX XXXX XXXX in XX/XX/XXXX. NRA appears to have reinserted the same debt without providing the legally required notice under FCRA 611 ( a ) ( 5 ) ( B ). 

This raises serious compliance concerns : I received no debt validation under FDCPA 809 ( b ).

I received no notice of reinsertion from the credit bureaus or NRA, which is a violation of FCRA 611 ( a ) ( 5 ) ( B ).

The debts are reported as active and unpaid, but are likely duplicate, inaccurate, or the result of fraud or unauthorized assignment. 

These entries have caused significant damage to my creditworthiness and ability to access basic financial services.

Complaint narrative:
I am submitting a formal identity theft complaint under FCRA 605B and 609 ( e ). Multiple companies accessed and used my personal identifying informationincluding my name, Social Security number, and credit filewithout my knowledge or consent.

I did not authorize the sale, transfer, re-aging, or re-reporting of my data to debt buyers, third-party furnishers, or collectors I have no relationship with. Several hard inquiries were also made without my permission. This activity violates FCRA 604 ( permissible purpose ) and 605B, which requires consumer reporting agencies to block identity theft-related data within 4 business days of receiving a valid FTC Identity Theft Report and police report.

Complaint narrative:
I am writing to formally dispute inaccurate information being reported on my consumer credit report by Equifax for XXXX ( Account # XXXXXXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX ) XXXX XXXX. Specifically, Equifax is reporting the account as " Pays account as agreed '' with a " 30 days past due '' delinquency. XXXX  is reporting " Paid account/was 30 days past due '' with a " 30-day delinquent '' status. XXXX  is reporting " Paid or paying as agreed '' but does not indicate a payment status. These reports are inaccurate and need to be updated to reflect " Paid on time '' and " Paid as agreed '' for this account. These entries are inconsistent, contradictory, and inaccurate. I am requesting that the status of this account be updated to reflect " Paid on time '' or " Current, '' and the worst delinquency status be updated accordingly to ensure accuracy in reporting. Upon review, I have discovered that these entries violate the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( CRA ), particularly Section 611, which requires consumer reporting agencies to ensure the maximum possible accuracy of the information contained in consumer reports. Furthermore, the entries were reported without my written authorization, in direct violation of 15 U.S. Code 1681b ( 2 ), which mandates that consumer information can not be accessed or used without the explicit written consent of the consumer. I expect a detailed response outlining the findings of your investigation, including documentation of the original written instructions from me, with my wet signature, authorizing the reporting of this information, and an explanation of the legitimate purpose for reporting these late payments. Additionally, I request a thorough investigation into these disputed late payments as per Section 604 ( a ) ( 3 ) of the FCRA and written confirmation of the investigation 's completion, along with details of any actions taken to rectify this matter.

Lastly, I request documentation to verify compliance with 15 U.S. Code 1666b, which mandates that periodic statements must be delivered at least 21 days before the payment due date, including the periodic statement and corresponding tracking number to confirm timely delivery. I have attached proof of the inaccuracies and highlighted them in red for your convenience. I trust that you will handle this matter promptly and in compliance with all applicable federal regulations. I look forward to receiving a response within 30 days of the date of this letter. Thank you for your attention to this matter.

Issue: Incorrect information on your report — Account information incorrect
Company: Bread Financial Holdings, Inc.
State: FL

Complaint narrative:
Im disputing a late payment reported by Comenity Bank ( XXXX XXXX ), which is inaccurate and misleading. This credit card was used for a medical procedure. I paid the full balance by check, but the check was lost in the mail. I contacted the creditor immediately, and their representative explicitly advised me to send a second check and assured me the payment would still be marked on time as an exception, given the circumstances. I complied in good faith, and the second payment cleared. 

Despite this agreement, Comenity Bank reported a late payment to the credit bureaus. I have disputed this directly with both the creditor and the credit bureaus multiple times, but the derogatory mark remains. 

Under the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA, 15 U.S.C. 1681s-2 ), furnishers are required to report accurate information and correct any inaccuracies once notified. This reporting is unfair and damaging to my credit standing. I am requesting that the CFPB investigate and require Comenity Bank to correct or remove this inaccurate late payment. 

I am happy to provide supporting documentation, including payment records and communications with the creditor.

I'm contacting you regarding a credit inquiry that was made without my permission. I want to be absolutely clear : I never gave this companynor anyone acting on their behalfany authorization to access or pull my credit report. 

This was done without my knowledge or consent, and as such, it qualifies as an unauthorized and fraudulent inquiry under the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ). I did not apply for credit, services, or any financial product from this company, and I have no existing relationship with them that would justify this kind of access.

Complaint narrative:
In XX/XX/XXXX, I discovered a fraudulent installment loan on my credit report from Oportun ( XXXX XXXX ), originally opened on XX/XX/XXXX. I was only XXXX XXXX XXXX at the time and could not have legally applied for, authorized, or been aware of this loan. This account was opened using my personal information without my knowledge or consent, and I have never had any relationship with Oportun. 

After discovering the account, I contacted Oportun and submitted a formal identity theft dispute, along with supporting documents, including my ID, an FTC Identity Theft Report, and a police report. Despite this, Oportun has not yet resolved the issue or provided the information I requested regarding the fraudulent account. I am requesting that this account be fully removed from my credit report and that Oportun be held accountable for failing to verify the identity of the person who opened it while I was a minor.

Complaint narrative:
I am writing to formally dispute the continued presence of inaccurate information on my credit report, despite multiple previous attempts to rectify these errors. Under the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ), you are obligated to ensure the accuracy and completeness of the information you report. These inaccuracies have adversely affected my creditworthiness and have caused undue stress and financial hardship. 

I would like to draw your attention to recent enforcement actions that underscore the importance of accurate credit reporting : The CFPB sued Experian for failing to properly investigate consumer disputes, resulting in the inclusion of incorrect information on credit reports. 
XXXX XXXX was fined nearly {$28.00} XXXX for providing inaccurate, negative information about its customers to credit reporting agencies and for delays in correcting errors. 
XXXX faced a {$23.00} XXXX fine for failures related to tenant screening and security freezes, which included not ensuring the accuracy of rental background checks. 

These cases highlight the serious consequences of non-compliance with the FCRA. 

I am requesting that you : 1. Conduct a thorough and impartial reinvestigation of the disputed items.

2. Delete or correct all inaccurate, incomplete, or unverifiable information.

3. Provide me with a copy of the updated credit report reflecting these changes.

Complaint narrative:
Dear CFPB, I am writing to formally dispute inaccurate payment information being reported on my credit files by Experian, TransUnion, and Equifax concerning my XXXX XXXX account. 

Beginning in XX/XX/year>, I noticed that my XXXX payment history is either not reported at all, reported inconsistently, or marked incorrectly as late. Specifically, some payments are shown as 30 days late, even though I have made all payments on time. 

This reporting error has resulted in damage to my credit score and does not accurately reflect my payment history. I have attempted to resolve this matter directly with the credit bureaus and XXXX, but no corrections have been made.
