Complaint narrative:
My name is ( XXXX XXXX XXXX federally protected consumer, and I am making this complaint against ( ProCollect ) for committing identity theft.

If ( ProCollect ) can not provide me with proof such as a tracking number that they attempted to lawfully validate this alleged debt with me, the consumer, prior to furnishing it on my consumer report, this has been a fraudulently furnished account with forethought and malice as an attempt to bring harm to me and my financial reputation.

I am demanding a cease and desist of all illegal activity, any communication and collection activity, of this and any alleged debts until ( ProCollect ) can provide me with sufficient documentary evidence that I have any legal obligation to pay them. If this documentary evidence can not be produced and ( ProCollect ) continues its collection efforts, I will file for litigation for actual damages caused and ( ProCollect ) will be held criminally liable for aggravated identity theft pursuant to 18 USC 1028A, extortion, theft by deception, securities fraud, and mail fraud.

Company: CAPITAL ONE FINANCIAL CORPORATION
State: CA

Complaint narrative:
Be advised this is not a refusal to pay, but a notice sent pursuant to the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act, 15 USC 1692g stating your claim is disputed and validation is requested.

This is NOT a request for verification or proof of my mailing address, but a request for VALIDATION made pursuant to the above-named Title and Section. I respectfully request your offices provide me with competent evidence that I have any legal obligation to pay you.

I will need this documentary evidence to insure that your office isnt using unlawful extortionate means, as defined by 18 U.S. Code 891, with forethought and malice to bring harm to me and my financial reputation by making any false claims of securities, causing a tax liability. This documentation showing my legal obligation to pay you would insure me that there isnt any unlawful theft by deception, bank fraud, and creation of the false and deceptive form is in the act of taking place to a federally protected consumer, beneficiary, debtor, and holder in due course pursuant to UCC 3-306.

Also note that if your company has filled out a 1099c form and is continuing any kind of collection activity as defined under 31 U.S. Code 3711 ( e ) by performing any of the following conduct ; administrative offset, tax refund offset, referral to private collection contractors, referral to agencies operating a debt collection center, reporting delinquencies to the credit reporting agencies, garnishing wages, pursuing litigation or foreclosure, you are committing tax fraud and should be reported to the IRS for a fraudulent financial gain.

At this time, I will also inform you that if your offices have reported invalidated information to any of the 3 major credit reporting agencies ( XXXX, XXXX, or XXXX ) this action may constitute fraud under both Federal and State Laws.

If your offices can provide the proper documentation as requested in the following Declaration, I will require at least 30 days to investigate this information, during which time all collection activity must cease and desist. Also, during this validation period, if any action is taken which could be considered detrimental to any of my credit reports, I will not hesitate in bringing legal action against you and your client. This includes any listing of any information to a credit reporting repository that could be inaccurate or invalidated. 
If your office fails to respond to this validation request within 30 days from the date of your receipt, all references to these accounts must be deleted and completely removed from my credit file, if applicable, and a copy of such deletion request shall be sent to me immediately.

Complaint narrative:
As of the XX/XX/XXXX US Bank credit card statement ( closing date XXXX ) the outstanding balance on this account was {$9800.00}, all from balance transfers currently at 0 % interest with the earliest 0 % to expire as of the XX/XX/XXXX statement. The minimum payment required on this statement was {$99.00}, due by XX/XX/XXXX. There were no outstanding purchase balance as of this statement. 

On XX/XX/XXXX a payment of {$100.00} was made to this account to more than satisfy the minimum payment due of {$99.00}. On XX/XX/XXXX a charge was made to XXXX XXXX and XXXX for {$400.00}. On XX/XX/XXXX a payment in the amount of {$400.00} was made to cover this {$400.00} charge. 

The XXXX credit card statement ( closing date XX/XX/XXXX ) shows the {$100.00} payment, the {$400.00} charge, and the {$400.00} payment on the dates above, but it shows an interest charge of {$3.00} and an outstanding purchase balance to {$400.00}, with {$270.00} of this subject to interest at 14.15 %. 

The XXXX statement shows an additional {$4.00} in interest, with an outstanding purchase balance of {$400.00} and {$400.00} of this still subject to interest at 14.15 %. The XXXX statement shows and additional an additional {$4.00} in interest, with an outstanding purchase balance of {$410.00} and {$400.00} of this still subject to interest at 14.15 %. 

No new purchases have been made since the {$400.00} charge on XX/XX/XXXX, and all minimum monthly payment have been made on time since that date, yet interest keeps being charged and a purchase balance is still showing every month. 

This bank is not following the rule dictated by The Credit Card Accountability, Responsibility and Disclosure Act of XXXX, of applying all payment in excess of the minimum payment XXXX to the portion of the balance at the highest interest rate. 

Thank you, XXXX XXXX
