Issue: Problem with a company's investigation into an existing problem — Their investigation did not fix an error on your report
Company: Affirm Holdings, Inc
State: NJ

Complaint narrative:
I am writing to file a formal complaint against the credit bureaus that have willfully failed to remove clearly fraudulent information from my credit report, despite multiple disputes and the submission of supporting documentation. 

It is absolutely unacceptable that, even after being notified and provided with evidence, these agencies continue to report inaccurate and fraudulent data that is damaging my financial standing and violating my rights under the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ). This negligence and failure to act in accordance with federal law is causing significant and unjust harm to me. 

I demand that the CFPB take immediate action to investigate and enforce compliance. The bureaus in question have shown a blatant disregard for the law and for consumer protection, and their refusal to correct this situation can not be allowed to continue. 

I expect a timely and thorough response, along with a full investigation into this matter Account XXXX Account XXXX Account XXXX Account XXXX Account XXXX Account XXXX

Failure to properly perform investigation and provide documentation of the outcome of previous disputes dated XX/XX/year>2025. Disputes related to XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX and XXXX XXXX XXXX. Please be advised that your response does not constitute proper debt validation as required under the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act ( FDCPA ), 15 U.S.C. 1692g.

The information you provided including general statements about the debt, the charge-off, and the alleged assignment is insufficient to verify the validity of the debt or your legal right to collect it. I hereby reiterate my demand for full validation, which must include, but is not limited to : 1. A copy of the original signed credit agreement or contract bearing my signature, evidencing the creation of the account and terms alleged.

2. A full accounting of the debt, including all charges, interest, payments, and fees leading to the current balance of {$1900.00}.

3. Complete documentation of the chain of title, from the original creditor to XXXX XXXX XXXX, XXXX including the bill of sale, assignment agreement, and any schedules identifying this specific account. 
4. Verification that this debt was not securitized at any point during its lifecycle. If the account was securitized, provide evidence of the trust or instrument into which it was placed, and identify the current legal owner of the debt. If it was not securitized, provide documentation attesting to that fact, signed under penalty of perjury.

5. Confirmation of your authority to collect, including your license numbers for the states in which you are attempting to collect and any relevant bonding information.

6. Confirmation that the debt is being accurately reported, and that it has been marked as disputed with all credit reporting agencies, pursuant to 15 U.S.C. 1692e ( 8 ).

Until you have provided all the information requested above, you must cease collection activities and refrain from reporting this debt to any credit bureau, or you must immediately remove it if already reported. Failure to comply may constitute a violation of the FDCPA and the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ).

This is a continued formal dispute of the alleged debt. If you can not validate the debt per federal requirements, you are required to cease collection and remove this tradeline from all consumer credit reports.

Company: National Credit Systems,Inc.
State: LA

Complaint narrative:
I I filed a dispute with XXXX  concerning an account linked to National Credit Systems, which XXXX  confirmed as accurate. Shortly thereafter, I received an email from National Credit Systems providing an account number and password for a debt I do not owe. In an effort to clarify the situation, I logged into the creditor 's website, but found that the itemization and contract lease were unavailable. Despite my request for an itemized list of the alleged debt, the company failed to provide any information, as their website pages were completely blank. I then asked XXXX  to remove the debt from my report, but my request was denied, even in light of the clear evidence that the creditor lacks any documentation or itemized breakdown of the amount owed. To my dismay, they even proposed a settlement for a debt I am not liable for. I urge the credit bureaus to remove this account, as the reporting is unjust, and I am disappointed that XXXX  refused to act on my dispute.
