This CFPB complaint has been filed to request pursuant to FCRA 605B ( 15 U.S.C. 1681c-2 ) that you XXXX  credit reporting agency, block information appearing on my consumer credit report that is the result of identity theft and fraud within 4 business days of you receiving this complaint.

Not only do I believe this to be a stall tactic on your part to grant you an additional 30 days to comply with my original request, but I believe it to be a blatant violation of the FCRA. 
I have attached a copy of my government issued ID as well as mail showing proof of address. So, there shouldnt be any confusion or stall tactics on your end. I have maintained a careful record of my communications with you for the purpose of filing a complaint with the FTC should you continue in your non-compliance.

I called capital one XXXX  XX/XX/XXXX about my claim. The told me its closed and will not be reopened I asked how I provided a police report and my identity theft report from the FTC. My contract that I signed with capital one states I cant be held liable or responsible for any unauthorized charges as long as reported in a timely manner. And online it says Im protected by Electronic fund transfer act Reg E as well. I have the calls recorded and them saying all decisions made were because the merchant said they were authorized and it comes from seven different customer service represent. Ive all said that same thing that the only investigation they did was reach out to the merchant and the merchant responding with its authorized even though it really wasnt is good enough for them and when I bring up our contract when I bring up the electronic fund transfer act or regulation E, none of them know what Im talking about and have even been told by their employees which I also have recorded we dont care what the federal government says we have our own policies in place

Company: TekCollect Inc.
State: CA

Complaint narrative:
Dear CFPB, I am following up on my complaint regarding XXXX XXXX XXXX ( XXXX ) and TekCollect ( Complaint ID XXXX, submitted XX/XX/XXXX ). 

Key updates : On XX/XX/XXXX TekCollect mailed me their cover letter ( attached ) with a copy of my Retail Installment Contract with XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX. This is information I already had in my possession and does not satisfy the debt validation requirements under FDCPA 809 ( b ), 15 U.S.C. 1692g ( b ).

Proper validation requires : Proof of legal assignment from XXXX to TekCollect, Full account/payment history, and Identification of the current creditor. 

None of which has been provided. 

In its XX/XX/XXXX XXXX  response, XXXX admitted that XXXX is no longer providing treatment, support, or the Lifetime Smile Guarantee. XXXX also admitted it is merely a servicer, not the creditor, and claimed assignment without documentation. 

These admissions establish breach of contract, failure of consideration, and frustration of purpose ( Restatement ( Second ) of Contracts XXXX ; Littleton v. Emp'rs Fire Ins. Co., 169 Colo. 104 ( 1969 ) ). Because XXXX failed to perform its obligations, the alleged debt is unenforceable.

Under the FTC Holder Rule ( 16 C.F.R. 433.2 ), XXXX and any assignee are subject to all claims and defenses I could assert against XXXX. Since XXXX failed to perform, this debt is barred from enforcement. 

I am attaching supporting documentation, including XXXX  XXXX  response highlighting these admissions, and the inadequate validation TekCollect sent. 

Thank you for your intervention in this matter. 

Sincerely, XXXX XXXX

Company: EQUIFAX, INC.
State: PA

Complaint narrative:
I have noticed several items on my credit report that I do not recognize. It appears that someone may have stolen my identity, as I did not authorize these accounts. I have previously raised this issue, and I am now requesting that these accounts be removed from my report immediately. The presence of these unauthorized accounts is causing me significant distress. They do not accurately reflect my credit history or financial management, and dealing with this issue has been challenging. If this matter is not resolved, I am prepared to pursue legal action to protect my rights and seek a resolution. These erroneous items on my credit report are significantly impacting my ability to achieve important financial goals, such as purchasing a home and supporting my family. I hope we can resolve this issue promptly.
