Product: Debt collection — I do not know
Issue: Attempts to collect debt not owed — Debt is not yours
Company: CL Holdings LLC
State: GA

Complaint narrative:
-- - [ XXXX XXXX XXXXXXXX ] [ XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXXXXXX ] [ XXXXXXXX XXXX XXXXXXXX ] [ XXXX ] [ XXXX ] [ XXXX ] Jefferson Capital Systems XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXXXXXX **Subject : Formal Complaint and Demand for Compensation** Dear Jefferson Capital Systems LLCXXXX XXXX XXXX , I am writing to formally address your attempts to collect a debt that I do not recognize and for which I have not entered into any agreement or business dealings. I have received two correspondences regarding an alleged obligation of {$620.00} attributed to your agency. However, I must inform you that this account is significantly past the allowed reporting and collecting timeframe under the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ).

According to the FCRA, debts typically have a reporting limit of seven years from the date of default. Your claim originates from XX/XX/2017, which is well beyond the permissible period for reporting and collecting such debts. Continuing to pursue collection of this alleged amount not only constitutes an unauthorized collection but also represents a further breach of my rights. 

Moreover, neither agency is unlicensed to operate as a debt collector in both South Carolina ( SC ) and Georgia ( GA ), further compounding the violations of my rights under the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act ( FDCPA ) and the Federal Trade Commission ( FTC ) guidelines.

**Demand for Compensation : ** As a result of these violations, I am demanding compensation for the following : 1. **Emotional distress and damage to my reputation** due to your unwarranted collection efforts.

2. A demand amount of ** $ XXXX ( XXXX the alleged debt of {$620.00} ) as compensation for the illegal collection attempts.

3. An additional ** $ XXXX for damages incurred from XX/XX/2017, to the present due to the unauthorized collection and the negative impact on my financial standing. 

This demand aligns with the remedies available under the FDCPA, which allows for statutory damages, as well as the rights provided by the FCRA to protect consumers against outdated and irrelevant information affecting their credit. 

Please consider this a formal demand to cease all collection activities related to this alleged debt. I request written confirmation within ** [ 14 days ] ** that you will no longer pursue this debt. Failure to respond adequately or continued attempts to collect this debt will leave me with no choice but to report your conduct to the appropriate regulatory authorities and pursue legal counsel. 

Thank you for your prompt attention to this matter. I expect to hear from you soon. 

Sincerely, [ XXXX XXXX XXXX ] ---

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 TILA US Code 1666B since I was never late. 

I recently reviewed my consumer report and noticed an incorrect late payment record on my XXXX Bank account [ XXXX ]. I have always maintained timely payments on this account. Under the Fair Credit Billing Act ( FCBA ) and the Truth in Lending Act ( TILA ), creditors are required to accurately report consumer transactions and provide a mechanism for correcting errors in a timely manner. Please conduct an investigation into this matter, and if you can not provide documentary evidence of these supposed late payments, I demand these payments to be updated to on time as they should be as I was NEVER late. I expect these updates to be made promptly, in compliance with the law.

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.

Complaint narrative:
My accounts was never late! I have had exceptional payment history with XXXX  XXXX and all payments were placed on Autopay. This late payment that is reporting is a result on a systematic error on their end processing my payment. 

This was clearly a billing error made my the company and is not a reflection of my payment experience which violates USC Code 1681eb. This error has caused severe hard to my reputation, my character, my mode of living and to my family!

I demand the late payment reported to be removed/updated.

They are not in compliance with the following law. 15 USC 1666b and its requirements set the standards and the guidance for a creditor to treat a payment as late, yet they are reporting a payment as late and they did not comply with the law!

15 USC 1666b ( a ) Time to make payments A creditor may not treat a payment on a credit card account under an open end consumer credit plan as late for any purpose, unless the creditor has adopted reasonable procedures designed to ensure that each periodic statement including the information required by section 1637 ( b ) of this title is mailed or delivered to the consumer not later than 21 days before the payment due date.

I have requested proof that this information was mailed or delivered 21 days before the payment due date and this information was requested in good faith pursuant rule 1002 and It was never provided. 

This is unfair, illegal, fraudulent, and not equitable to me as a consumer!
