Complaint narrative:
" Method of Verification Dispute Notice : Remove these Fraudulent Accounts, Inquiries & Inaccurate Personal Information. 

The banking system is contingent upon equitable and accurate credit reporting, as stated in the equitable Credit Reporting Act ( 15 U.S. Code 1681 ). The banking system 's efficacy is directly impacted by inaccurate credit reports, and the public 's confidence is undermined by unfair credit reporting methods, which are essential for the system 's continued operation. 

Therefore, the efficiency of the finance system is compromised whenever the FCRA is violated. This is a violation of my privacy with respect to my consumer report, as I have the authority to determine which items are included and which are not. Identity theft is the act of reporting any accounts without my written consent.

This is a violation of both 15 U.S. Code 1681b ( 2 ) and 15 U.S. Code 1681c-2. This results in civil liability against the credit reporting agency for negligent and willful noncompliance under 15 U.S. Code 1681n. The law permits a {$1000.00} fine per violation for each account listed without my expressed written assent. 

I reviewed my consumer reports and observed accounts that I had never granted anyone permission to report. Consumer reporting agencies have taken on a critical role and are obligated to report consumer information with the utmost accuracy, as the Fair Credit Reporting Act explicitly stipulates. I did not provide written consent to report them. I am expressing my dissatisfaction with the contents of the attached file.

State: NY

Complaint narrative:
On XX/XX/year>, I received a voicemail from the phone number ( XXXX ), where a person identifying herself as XXXX XXXX stated, My name is XXXX XXXX. I am contacting you in reference to a complaint that has been forwarded to my office. If you wish to discuss these pending things that may be filed against you, you can contact the firm and control this matter. You can reach them directly at XXXX. Please be advised that this call has been logged and submitted as proof that you have been notified of this pending. 

When I returned the call, the person I spoke with claimed that the purpose of their call was to give me a courtesy call that someone was scheduled to visit my address to deliver a document. When I asked what the document was, they responded, Are you not expecting a document? I said no, and they then advised me to call XXXX XXXX XXXX, but did not provide a website URL or any further information. The actual name of the firm is XXXX XXXX XXXX, not XXXX XXXX XXXX, which immediately raised suspicions. 

After this unsettling interaction, I immediately called XXXX XXXX XXXX, and requested validation of the debt from XXXX XXXX XXXX under the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act ( FDCPA ), as I do not recognize or acknowledge this debt. XXXX XXXX XXXX responded by providing only a Release of Liability document, which did not fulfill the requirements for proper debt validation. 

Despite my clear communication that I required full debt validation before acknowledging the debt, XXXX XXXX XXXX continued to contact me, threatening litigation and pressuring me to settle the debt. On [ Insert Date of Follow-Up Communication ], I reiterated my demand for proper validation and explicitly requested that all collection activities, including any mention of litigation, cease until validation was provided. 

In response, XXXX XXXX XXXX continued to disregard my rights under the FDCPA, attempting to justify their actions by claiming that the matter was in the preliminary stages of litigation and therefore not subject to the standard debt validation process. They further suggested that I seek legal counsel, which I found to be condescending and irrelevant, as I am fully aware of my legal rights. 

XXXX XXXX XXXX has failed to provide the required debt validation, continued to engage in collection activities, and attempted to intimidate me with litigation threats, all in violation of the FDCPA.

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. ''
