Product: Credit reporting or other personal consumer reports — Credit reporting
Issue: Problem with a company's investigation into an existing problem — Their investigation did not fix an error on your report
Company: Portfolio Recovery Associates, LLC
State: CA

Complaint narrative:
I am filing a second complaint regarding Portfolio Recovery Associates ( PRA ) because they continue to report an alleged account to XXXX  without providing any legally required documentation capable of verification. 

I have already submitted disputes to XXXX, sent direct disputes to PRA, and received multiple verified responses with no supporting evidence. PRA has not provided : The original contract or account agreement Billing statements or account-level records Proof of ownership or chain of title from the original creditor Documentation showing they conducted a legally required investigation under FCRA 15 U.S.C. 1681s-2 ( b ) XXXX  continues reporting the account based solely on PRAs unsubstantiated confirmations, which violates FCRA reinvestigation standards under 1681i and the CFPBs guidance on reasonable investigations. 

PRAs continued collection and furnishing activities without proof violate : FCRA 1681s-2 ( b ) FCRA 1681e ( b ) FCRA 1681i ( a ) FDCPA 1692e and 1692g ( b ) I am requesting CFPB intervention to require PRA to produce actual documentation supporting the alleged debt or delete the account from all consumer reporting agencies. PRA has repeatedly failed to meet federal standards for verification and accuracy, and the CRA continues to report the account despite the lack of evidence.

Company: Experian Information Solutions Inc.

Complaint narrative:
Complaint filed by XXXX XXXX XXXX, XXXX, as authorized representative of XXXX XXXX under attached assignment/authorizationagreement. 

I submitted a formal dispute letter to Experian on XX/XX/year>, regarding multiple inaccurate late payment entries reported on my credit file. Despite citing violations under the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( 15 U.S.C. 1681i and 1681s-2 ), Experian has failed to provide proper verification, documentation, or correction of these entries. The reported late payments are the result of furnishers internal reporting errors, not actual delinquencies, making them inaccurate and unverifiable. Experian has therefore failed to conduct a reasonable reinvestigation as required by law.

Complaint narrative:
My account with EXPERIAN TRANSUNION was never late! I have had exceptional payment history 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 to be 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. EXPERIAN TRANSUNION Never Sent the periodic statement along with the disclosures from section 1637 ( b ). 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! Update the late payments from my consumer reports

Complaint narrative:
DEAR TJX/SYNCHRONY BANK  : {$38.00} CHARGEOFF BALANCE??? HOW? I am formally disputing the accuracy, validity, and completeness of the above-referenced account, which has been reported to the credit bureaus and attributed to me. I have no verified relationship with your company or any other original creditor you listed, and I was never provided proper notice of this alleged debt. 

Pursuant to my rights under the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act ( FDCPA, 15 U.S.C. 1692g ( b ) ) and the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA, 15 U.S.C. 1681 et seq. ), I demand full validation of this account. Specifically, I request the following documentation : Original Credit Agreement ( the contract I allegedly signed, if applicable ) Full Itemized Statement ( showing how the balance was calculated ) Forward Flow Agreement ( proving debt transfer from original creditor ) Chain of Title / Assignment Documents ( showing legal transfer of ownership ) Complete Payment History Records ( verifying payments or delinquencies ) Validation Notice ( per FDCPA 1692g ) Notice of Default / Intent to Collect ( as required by law ) Proof of Statute of Limitations ( confirming debt is legally collectible ) Credit Reporting Agreement ( authorizing reporting to bureaus ) Documentation of Prior Dispute Investigations ( per FCRA 1681i ) To date, I have not received these required documents. Instead, I have only been sent generic, automated responses that do not constitute lawful validation. Therefore, the account remains unverified and legally unenforceable.

Continuing to report or collect on an unverifiable account violates FCRA 1681e ( b ) and 1681s-2 ( b ) as well as FDCPA 1692g ( b ). Courts including XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX, XXXX XXXX XXXX, XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX, and XXXX XXXX XXXXconfirm that unverifiable or misleading data can not lawfully remain on a consumers credit file.

Complaint narrative:
I submitted a police report for identity theft and requested a 605B Identity Theft Block. Under federal law, TransUnion must block fraudulent accounts within 4 business days. Instead, they sent me an automated message saying they are waiting for the creditors response, which is a violation of FCRA 605B, because the law does not allow reinvestigation before blocking.

Fraudulent accounts that must be blocked : XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX  ( Account number as shown on TransUnion report ) XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX / XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX These accounts are not mine.

Complaint narrative:
A debt collector ( XXXX XXXX ) sent a text to my father about a debt that allegedly belongs to me. The message disclosed the creditor ( Jefferson Capital Systems LLC ), stated it was a debt collector, gave a payment link, and implied my father owed the debt. My father is not associated with the account. This appears to be an FDCPA violation for illegal third-party disclosure ( 15 USC 1692c ( b ), 1692e ( 10 ), 1692f ). Screenshot attached.

Why this is wrong : FDCPA forbids disclosing debt info to third parties ( 1692c ( b ) ) Messaging a third party with creditor name + payment portal is unlawful Misleading wording violates 1692e ( 10 ) Unfair practices violate 1692 Actions Taken.
