Product: Debt collection — Other debt
Issue: Attempts to collect debt not owed — Debt was result of identity theft
Company: Regional Management Corporation
State: TX

Complaint narrative:
This letter serves as a follow-up to my previous complaint submitted last month regarding a fraudulent account that has been incorrectly reported on my credit file. I am reaching out once again to formally request your assistance in filing a complaint against REGIONAL FIN for their continued failure to address this matter appropriately. 

Account in Question : Creditor : REGIONAL FIN Account XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX Balance : {$8400.00} I have strong reason to believe that this account was opened fraudulently using my personal information. I did not open, authorize, or consent to the creation of this account, and its presence on my credit report is both erroneous and harmful. 

Despite several attempts to resolve this matter directly with REGIONAL FIN, they have failed to investigate or take corrective action. I have disputed this account multiple times, yet it continues to remain on my credit report, causing unjustified damage to my creditstanding.

Complaint narrative:
Under the FDCPA and FCRA, verification is not just a name matchit is a sworn affidavit or certified statement of truth. Per 15 U.S.C. 1681n, your continued reporting without proper verification is willful noncompliance. 

I demand proof of delivery of the initial dunning letter within 14 days of placing this account on my credit report, including a certified mail tracking number. If you can not provide this, you must delete this tradeline immediately and cease all collection activity, including reporting. 

I never had an account with XXXX XXXX, and you are neither the original creditor nor a valid assignee. Debt buyers are not creditors under the law. 

This account is still within the federal debt validation window, per 1006.34. Failure to comply will result in further action to seek justice for the harm caused.

According to FCRA 605B ( 15 U.S.C. 1681c-2 ), the credit bureaus are obligated to delete such information within 4 business days of receiving the request.

Complaint narrative:
Im contacting you to formally dispute an item currently listed on my credit report that is inaccurate and not in compliance with the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ). Specifically, the information in question does not meet the standard of maximum possible accuracy, as required under FCRA Section 607 ( b ). 

I take my credit and financial record very seriously, and I expect that anything being reported under my name is fully accurate and properly verified. In this case, that standard is not being met. Whether due to outdated, incorrect, or incomplete reporting, the presence of this item is misrepresenting my credit history and unfairly affecting my financial reputation.

I am writing to formally dispute a credit inquiry that appears on my credit report. I did not authorize this inquiry, and it was made without a permissible purpose under the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ). 

Let me be very clear : I did not apply for credit, services, or any transaction that would warrant this inquiry. Whoever pulled my credit had no legal grounds to do so, and this unauthorized inquiry is a direct violation of my rights under the FCRA, which strictly limits who can access a consumers credit report and for what reasons. 

This inquiry is not only unwarrantedits damaging. Hard inquiries affect my credit score and overall financial profile, and in this case, I am being penalized for something I never agreed to or initiated. Thats unacceptable.
