Complaint narrative:
" I am writing to formally file a complaint regarding unauthorized accounts that persist on my credit report despite my repeated efforts to have them removed. These accounts are causing significant damage to my financial reputation and overall well-being. It is evident that the inclusion of these fraudulent items violates 15 USC 1681b regarding permissible purposes, as the credit bureaus have no legitimate reason to report them without my explicit consent. Please refer to the attached file detailing these items I am disputing.

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 my privacy with my consumer report, since I control what is listed and what is not. In the event that any accounts are reported without my written consent, that is considered identity theft. ''

Company: Paysend US LLC

Complaint narrative:
I am writing to formally lodge a complaint regarding a recent transaction and subsequent issues I have encountered with your service. 

On XX/XX/year>, I attempted to send a remittance to my own account in XXXX, under the reference number XXXX. After charging me for this transaction, it was unexpectedly canceled almost immediately. 

Furthermore, I received a concerning request to provide a picture of my full card number, including the XXXX, to an unsecured email address. This request is not only alarming but also raises serious concerns about the security of my personal and financial information. 

To date, I have not received a refund for the canceled transaction, and my request to terminate my account has gone unanswered. This lack of communication and resolution is unacceptable.

Complaint narrative:
This account was on auto pay since I had the account. And it was automatically paid every single month from my debit card, and they changed servicers to community from XXXX XXXX, and this was a during a time when I was sick with XXXX and not working on XXXX XXXXXXXX for over XXXX XXXX. I called them many times asking them to give me the account number over the phone and they refused. They said they could only mail it. So I ended up asking them to mail it over and over because I never saw it come in the mail. They wanted to charge me to make a payment with them over the phone. This is very difficult because I was so sick I was out of it and well enough to call them repeatedly. Keep in mind that they had removed my debit card that was paying it each month. I ended up getting behind and they charged me all these fees and their fees are very high. ALSO, during this very bad time for me, I missed out on all the promotions that I had with them and I normally pay them off before they charge me interest but I couldn't because I was so sick and only earning a fraction of my normal salary with XXXX XXXX XXXXXXXX.

Product: Debt collection — I do not know
Issue: Written notification about debt — Didn't receive enough information to verify debt
Company: Adler Wallach & Associates, Inc.
State: CA

Complaint narrative:
I am writing to formally dispute inaccurate information regarding a debt that has been reported on my credit file. I request that you immediately investigate and remove this information from my credit report in accordance with the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ) and Fair Debt Collection Practices Act ( FDCPA ).

I have identified that a debt related to the above account has been inaccurately reported on my credit file. Upon review, I requested proof of the debt assignment from the debt collector, AWA COLLECTIONS, as provided by my rights under the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act ( FDCPA ), specifically 15 U.S.C. 1692g, which states that a debt collector must validate the debt if requested within 30 days.

Despite my request, AWA COLLECTIONS has failed to provide any valid documentation or proof of debt assignment from the original creditor or any agreement to assign this debt. As they have failed to substantiate their claim, I am requesting that you immediately remove this account from my credit report as required by both the FCRA ( 15 U.S.C. 1681i ) and the FDCPA.

Legal Basis for Removal : Under the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act ( FDCPA ), a debt collector must cease collection activities and can not report the debt to the credit bureaus if they fail to validate the debt upon request. Additionally, the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ) requires that any information on my credit report that can not be substantiated or validated be removed if it is found to be inaccurate.

Given the lack of proof of debt assignment from the collector, I am asserting that the reported information is inaccurate and must be removed from my credit file. Furthermore, the FCRA obligates credit reporting agencies to correct or remove any disputed information that is found to be inaccurate after investigation.

If you require any further information from me to assist with your investigation, please do not hesitate to contact me at the above-listed phone number or email.

Thank you for your attention to this matter. I look forward to your prompt resolution.
