Complaint narrative:
This CFPB complaint has been filed to request pursuant to FCRA 605B ( 15 U.S.C. 1681c-2 ) that you -- credit reporting agency, block information appearing on my consumer credit report that is the result of identity theft and fraud within XXXX  business days of you receiving this complaint. I am concerned about the validity and accuracy of your recent investigation of these accounts that are reporting on my credit report.

Couple of days ago I received a letter stating that you have ceased investigation of my credit reports because, in your opinion, you believe that I have used a XXXX XXXX  credit repair agency. Not only do I believe this to be a stall tactic on your part to grant you an additional XXXX  days to comply with my original request, but I believe it to be a blatant violation of the FCRA. 
I have attached a copy of my government issued ID as well as mail showing proof of address. So, there shouldnt be any confusion or stall tactics on your end.

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 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. 

This is a violation of both 15 U.S. Code 1681b ( 2 ) and 15 U.S. Code 1681c-2. This leads way to civil liability against the credit reporting agency for negligent and willful noncompliance under 15 U.S. Code 1681n, which allows for {$1000.00} per violation, for account listed without my expressed written consent.

Company: NPG Associates, Inc.
State: CA

Complaint narrative:
On XX/XX/year>, XXXX XXXX XXXX and XXXX XXXX performed a one-time roach clean out service at my residence. I was never told there was any ongoing contract, and I did not sign anything or agree to future charges. I was never given a bill, invoice, or notice of any balance. 

After more than XXXX weeks, the infestation was still present. I contacted the company by text on XX/XX/year> with photo evidence. The representative told me by text that my service report was rejected, which shows I was never notified of any issue or charge. All communication was over text, so I have proof of everything said. 

I asked them by text for proof of any debt, a written contract, and an invoice, but they did not provide anything. The representative did NOT tell me how much was owed, she just said I needed to pay and that it would go straight to collections if I didnt. She was rude and dismissive. 

XXXX XXXX never sent me any actual bill or gave me a chance to resolve or dispute anything. Then NPG Associates contacted me claiming I owed {$250.00}. The collector threatened to put it on my credit report and garnish my wages if I did not pay immediately. I dispute this debt because there was no contract, the service failed, I was never told any amount was owed, and I was never properly billed or notified before being sent to collections.
