Company: Experian Information Solutions Inc.
State: CO

Complaint narrative:
Someone at a bank ( XXXX  ) opened an account fraudulently. So they used my name and social security number. The bank and the Experian credit reporting agency refuse to remove the fraudulent information in the report, claiming the the identification information matches my name... yeah, because that's how identity theft works. I have included ANOTHER FTC Identity Theft report, showing that this is a case of fraud, and have gone through all the proper channels of reporting it to local and federal authorities. Now, it is EXPERIAN that is violating the fair credit reporting act by not removing the fraudulent information in a timely manner.

I am upset!! I am depending on the banking system and credit reporting agency to promote my privacy and fairness and they have not. This is not right and going against my federal consumer rights. This is causing emotional and mental stress as of now. Also, it is illegal these companies should NOT be furnisher people 's information to 3rd party companies, so this is illegal, neglect and fraud. I have already reported this to the local police department and Federal Trade Commission. These companies and the credit bureaus can get sued for these damages. This is negatively affecting my livelihood and putting me in a bad space. I feel your database is inaccurate and I am filing ligation against this if these items aren't removed immediately.

On Sunday ( XX/XX/XXXX ), XXXX XXXX  texted me from XXXX asking me if it was ready for them to pick up that night. They came and picked it up. I attached a video from my camera. I told her the keys were in the cupholder and she needed gas because the gas light was on. On XX/XX/XXXX, I received the attached letter from Credit Acceptance stating this was a repossession. It was not a involuntary repossession, I surrendered it. I sent the attached email to the compliance analyst XXXX XXXX stating I had voluntarily surrendered it. I sent it to her because she was the only email contact I had. Credit Acceptance took it upon themselves to mark my account " do not contact '' via email. I voluntarily surrendered the car. Credit acceptance has only credited my payments to their {$17000.00} finance charge. Only {$100.00} of the original loan balance has been paid off. From XX/XX/XXXX to XX/XX/XXXX, I paid {$520.00} a month. XX/XX/XXXX I paid {$500.00}. None of those payments went to the loan balance that shows on my credit. The credit bureaus all stated the information they receive from Credit Acceptance is what is reported on my credit report. Please see complaint XXXX for reference.

Company: Velocity Portfolio Group
State: NV

Complaint narrative:
On XX/XX/2023, I mailed CKS Prime Investments LLC an initial letter requesting full debt validation of the alleged debt in question via Certified Mail. CKS Prime Investments LLC received my initial letter on XX/XX/2023. 

After 30+ days, I did not receive a response from their office, so I mailed my second letter requesting full validation for the alleged debt in question again via Certified Mail on XX/XX/2023. CKS Prime Investments LLC received my second letter on XX/XX/2023. 

After waiting for an additional 30+ days, CKS Prime Investments LLC failed to send their responses. 

I mailed my last letter, requesting CKS Prime Investments LLC to remove the alleged debts, # XXXX, # XXXX, in question due to their nonresponse and their negligence to validate the alleged debt on XX/XX/2023 via Certified Mail. 

As a consumer, it deeply concerns me that, despite my written disputes and the absence of proper debt validation, CKS PRIME INVESTMENTS LLC has continued to report this alleged debt on my credit reports as of XX/XX/2023, which is a collection activity. This persistent reporting constitutes a clear violation of the FDCPA and is causing me significant distress. 

I do not know who CKS Prime Investments LLC is, nor have I ever done business with them or been lent any money by this agency for me to owe such alleged debt nor do I agree with this alleged debt on my reports as I never signed anything with such agency.
