Complaint narrative:
Midland Credit bought this account from XXXX XXXX. This is a 9 year old account. The account from XXXX XXXX has fallen off my credit report 2 years and now Midland Credit ( a collection agency ) has put themselves on my credit report again. The original creditor XXXX XXXX was on my credit report for 7 years. Midland Credit should not be on my credit report because I have never done business with this company. Also when I called them they refused to talk to me because they claimed there is a restriction an my account because I have an attorney. That statement is an outright LIE. I have never spoke to this company until today ( XX/XX/year>25 ) and no attorney represents me in the matter with Midland Credit. By telling me this is was just their way of blowing me off.

Complaint narrative:
In XXXX, I voluntarily surrendered my vehicle to Ally Financial. The account was later charged off and listed as a loss on XX/XX/XXXX, with a remaining balance of {$17000.00}. 

On XX/XX/XXXX, I mailed a formal written request to Ally Financial requesting either a Form 1099-C ( Cancellation of Debt ) or a written statement explaining the current status of the debt. My request included supporting documents such as Allys own charge-off confirmation letter, a collection notice from XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX indicating Ally still owns the debt ), and my full payment history. 

As of today, Ally has not responded to my request and continues to report the account as " Open '' and in collections, even though they claim to have written it off. 

I also spoke directly with XXXX, who confirmed in a recorded call that Ally Financial is still the owner of the debt, not them. 

I am now requesting CFPB assistance in getting Ally to either : XXXX. Provide the 1099-C if the debt has been canceled, OR 2. Provide an explanation of why they are still reporting the account as active without further collection activity or documentation. 



I am attaching my full evidence packet, including my mailing receipt.

Company: T.S. Holdings
State: CA

Complaint narrative:
I am filing a complaint against XXXX XXXX XXXX regarding a collection account they are reporting for a former apartment at XXXX XXXX XXXX in XXXX XXXX, CA. The debt allegedly includes charges from XXXX separate units we lived in, but the apartment complex never mailed or delivered a required itemized breakdown within XXXX  days of move-out, as required by California Civil Code 1950.5. 

We moved out in XX/XX/year>. No formal breakdown of charges was ever mailed or provided, only a vague posting in the resident portal. I contacted the apartment in writing twice and received no response. Over a year later, I received a collection notice from XXXX XXXX XXXX including an additional {$300.00} charge from a prior unit a charge I was never made aware of before. 

I sent a certified debt validation letter to XXXX XXXX XXXX, which was picked up according to XXXX XXXX. However, they never provided any documentation or validation of the debt. Despite this, they reported the account to my credit report. 

This violates the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act ( FDCPA ), which requires collectors to validate a debt when properly requested, and prohibits reporting while under dispute.

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. 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.
