Consumer complaint received 2024-09-24 00:00:00
Product: Debt collection — I do not know
Issue: Written notification about debt — Didn't receive notice of right to dispute
Company: CL Holdings LLC
State: PA

Complaint narrative:
On XX/XX/2024, at XXXXXXXX XXXX EST, I called Jefferson Capital and requested validation of a debt. I was denied my legal right to validation, and the agent informed me that they do not provide debt validation. Additionally, when I asked for their mailing address to send a formal debt validation request, I was told that they do not offer validation services. The agent further advised that I must pay them in order to view my profile with their agency. When I refused to make a payment, I was told that they could not assist me any further.

These actions are in clear violation of the FDCPA, which requires that a debt collector must provide validation of a debt when requested by the consumer. Failure to provide this validation and demanding payment without proper documentation is illegal and can not be allowed to impact my credit standing.

Complaint narrative:
My accounts was never late! I have had exceptional payment history with XXXX XXXXXXXX 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!

Complaint narrative:
I am writing to express my profound frustration and distress regarding XXXX XXXX 's mishandling of fraudulent charges, which has negatively impacted all three major credit bureaus : TransUnion, XXXX, and XXXX. Despite submitting a valid police report, a notarized letter, an FTC report, and my identity documents, XXXX has reinserted the erroneous account without providing any proof of my liability. This egregious violation is causing severe financial and personal harm. 

I respectfully request your immediate intervention to initiate a comprehensive investigation and ensure a fair resolution to alleviate the ongoing hardship. TransUnion, XXXX, and XXXX continue to claim the account has been verified, just three days after I submitted a formal dispute. However, they have failed to provide any documentation, including the original signed consumer contract, which is required by federal law under 15 U.S.C. 1681. 

Moreover, XXXXXXXX XXXX  has refused to adjust the balance and correct the inaccuracies in my credit report, asserting that I was using the card and making payments at the same time these fraudulent charges were being made. Unbeknownst to me, someone had gained access to my account information and was making unauthorized charges. Due to the relatively small size of these fraudulent transactions compared to my total balance, they were overlooked at the time. I firmly believe these charges are fraudulent, as evidenced by the police report I submitted.
