Product: Debt collection — I do not know
Issue: Attempts to collect debt not owed — Debt is not yours
Company: BTH Management
State: FL

Complaint narrative:
I am writing to formally dispute several accounts reported on my credit file. I have previously requested debt validation for these accounts from the following collection agencies, all of which have failed to provide sufficient verification. Under the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ), unverified accounts must be deleted from my credit report, as continued reporting of these unvalidated debts is inaccurate and damaging to my creditworthiness. 

In addition, my personal information has been compromised in the recent XXXX and XXXX XXXX data breaches. As a result, my sensitive dataincluding social security number, financial account details, and other personal identifiershas been exposed on the dark web. These breaches have made me vulnerable to identity theft, and I believe my information may have been fraudulently used or mishandled in connection with these collection accounts. Due to the risk of inaccurate reporting and the potential for fraudulent debt, I request that all disputed accounts be promptly removed from my credit file. 

Accounts in Dispute : Plaza Services LLC Account Number : XXXX Balance : XXXX XXXXXXXXLegal Basis for Deletion 1. Lack of Verification Under the FCRA These accounts were disputed with each collection agency, and none of them provided valid proof of my obligation to these debts as required under the FCRA, 15 U.S.C. 1681i. According to Section 611 ( a ) ( 5 ) ( A ), any information that can not be verified must be promptly deleted from my credit report.

2. Compromised Personal Information Due to Recent Data Breaches As a victim of the recent XXXX and Cash App data breaches, my personal information has been exposed on the dark web. This breach has compromised my identity, and I have reason to believe that the accounts listed above may be inaccurate or the result of fraud. Exposing my credit file to potentially false and damaging information places me at further risk of financial harm. Given this background, I urge you to take this matter seriously and remove these accounts from my report under 15 U.S.C. 1681c-2, which provides consumers with rights to block fraudulent information resulting from identity theft.

Action Requested I request that each account listed above be deleted from my credit report with XXXX, XXXX, XXXX, and XXXX. 
Please provide a written confirmation of these deletions and an updated copy of my credit report, reflecting the removal of these unverified and potentially fraudulent accounts. 
Failure to comply with this request will leave me no choice but to escalate this matter by filing formal complaints with the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau ( CFPB ), Federal Trade Commission ( FTC ), and my state Attorney Generals office. I may also pursue legal action if my rights under the FCRA continue to be violated.

Thank you for your attention to this matter. I expect your confirmation of the deletion of these accounts within 30 days of receipt of this letter, as required by law.
