Complaint narrative:
After my recent disputes, I have noticed there are still unauthorized items reporting on my consumer report illegally. According to 15 U.S. Code 1681i, your agency must conduct a reasonable investigation on my credit report or the items disputed must be deleted within XXXX  days. If your company has properly done a reinvestigation and reported the following items as verified, I am asking you how did your agency reinvestigate these unauthorized items which leads me to 15 U.S. Code 1681i ( 7 ). Your agency must provide me with a description of the reinvestigation procedure. Acknowledging that your agency must conduct a reasonable reinvestigation and show the consumer a description of the reinvestigation procedure ; I am also requesting all proof of personal interviews with neighbors, friends or associates according to 15 U.S. Code 1681a ( e ). I have noticed a list of misinformation being furnished to my credit report without any written or electronic communication as a consumer which is violating my right to privacy with fairness, impartiality, and respect. As a consumer of my consumer report, I have not received any written or electronic form that my nonpublic personal information be disclosed to your agency, nor given the opportunity to opt out the disclosure which is in direct violation of 15 U.S. Code 6802. Your agency continues to violate my consumer report by not only furnishing information on my report but doing so without any written instructions from me according to 15 U.S. Code 1681. Consumer reporting agencies can not receive and furnish a consumer 's personal information without respecting their right to privacy, give written or electronic forms of such disclosures and receive written instructions from the consumer which leads to 18 U.S. Code 1028A. Your agency knowingly possesses my nonpublic information without any lawful authority and continues to use my information by furnishing a report which is a direct case of Identity theft. None of the information provided is related to a transaction done by me as a consumer.

Company: Spring Oaks Capital, LLC
State: TX

Complaint narrative:
1st I mailed a letter to this company ( see attached ), and then I submitted a complaint on XX/XX/XXXX, through this website. On XX/XX/XXXX the company responded that they purchased my debt as a third party, however, I provided feedback to the company, requesting proof of purchasing agreement from the original creditor to your agency. The discrepancy that I have is that the original creditor has used my acct as a " charge off '', meaning they forgive part or all of the balance through their expense reports and/or tax records. Therefore, when it is sold to their agency, I may or may not be responsible for amounts that have been considered " Charged off ''. The company has not provided this information to me through any form of communications.

Complaint narrative:
The glaring absence of concrete evidence to support its reliability, combined with the dissemination of unverified information, represents a clear violation of the statutory requirements outlined in 15 USC 1681i ( 7 ). This lack of compliance is not only troubling but also deeply frustrating, given the critical importance of adhering to legal obligations. 

Therefore, I strongly advocate for the immediate removal of this account in accordance with the specified regulations, unless verifiable evidence is promptly provided to establish its authenticity. Any delay in addressing this issue exacerbates the frustration caused by the apparent disregard for regulatory protocols and the legal standards that ensure fairness and accuracy.

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 each account listed without my expressed written consent.

I looked at my consumer reports and noticed accounts I never gave anyone permission to report. Consumer reporting agencies have assumed a vital role and have a responsibility to report consumer information to the best of their ability with maximum possible accuracy like the Fair Credit Reporting Act clearly states. I did not provide written consent to report them "

Complaint narrative:
I am writing to request assistance with multiple inaccuracies on my credit report that have adversely impacted my credit standing. Despite my efforts to resolve these issues directly with both creditors and credit reporting agencies, I have not received a satisfactory resolution. These inaccuracies include erroneous information regarding account details, duplicated accounts, outdated collection entries, incorrect open or closed account statuses, and unauthorized inquiries, all of which create a misleading portrayal of my creditworthiness. I kindly ask the CFPB to require the involved parties to correct, delete, or update the disputed information on my credit report in line with the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ), so that my credit report can reflect my accurate financial history. I am attaching supporting documents and I look forward to your assistance in resolving this matter promptly. Thank you for your attention to this request.
