XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXXXXXX Jefferson Capital Systems XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX Date : XX/XX/year> Subject : Request for Debt Validation Pursuant to 15 USC 1692g To Whom It May Concern, Be advised this is not a refusal to pay, but a notice sent pursuant to the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act ( FDCPA ) [ 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.

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

Due to this fact, if any negative mark is found on any of my credit reports by your company or the company you represent, I will not hesitate in bringing legal action against you and your client for the following : violation of the Fair Credit Reporting Act, violation of the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act, and Defamation of Character ( per se ).

If your offices are able to provide the proper documentation as requested in the following declaration, I will require at least 30 calendar days to investigate this information, during which time all collection activity shall 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 consult with my legal counsel for suit. This includes any listing of information to a credit reporting repository that could be inaccurate or invalidated.

If your office fails to respond to this validation request within 30 calendar days from the date of your receipt, all references to this account must be deleted and completely removed from my credit file, and a copy of such deletion request shall be sent to me immediately.

Issue: Problem with a company's investigation into an existing problem — Investigation took more than 30 days
Company: EQUIFAX, INC.
State: TX

Complaint narrative:
I previously submitted a letter addressing the inaccuracies and unfamiliar items on my credit report. However, it has now been over 30 days, and I have not received a response. It appears my disputes are being disregarded, which raises serious concerns. Under Section 611 ( a ) of the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ), credit reporting agencies are required to investigate disputed items within 30 days. If they fail to do so, these items must be removed from my report. 

As more than 30 days have passed, I expect immediate updates to my credit report reflecting the removal of these disputed accounts. Should this not be addressed promptly, I will be left with no option but to pursue legal action to resolve this issue, as the continued inaction has caused significant stress. 

Moreover, I was affected by the Equifax, Experian, and TransUnion data breaches, which heightens my concern regarding the security and handling of my personal information.

Reinvestigation of any late payment not properly validated, as required by law. 

Immediate deletion of any late payment that can not be conclusively verified. 

Additionally, your reporting includes vague status updates and partial payment history, which raises concerns about compliance with the FCRAs requirement for complete and current information.

This request is made in good faith and supported by my rights under federal law. If you fail to comply, I am prepared to escalate this issue to the CFPB and my state attorney general.

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.

Complaint narrative:
I am reporting Experian for continuing to display a debt on my credit report that was fully resolved on XX/XX/XXXX, through a charitable payment. Despite having clear proof of payment, Experian allowed XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX to report this debt as active on or after XX/XX/XXXX. 

I formally disputed the account with Experian on XX/XX/XXXX, and provided evidence including hospital billing statements and confirmation of a {$0.00} balance. Experian failed to remove or correct the tradeline or conduct a meaningful investigation, in violation of the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ) specifically 1681i and 1681e ( b ).

Because of Experians inaction, I suffered multiple credit denials, emotional distress, and financial harm. This has caused significant hardship and loss of opportunity.

Complaint narrative:
I reported an unauthorized transaction totaling over {$2200.00} on my Venmo Debit Card ( issued by XXXX XXXX XXXX  ) on XX/XX/year>. Under Regulation E of the Electronic Fund Transfer Act, the company was required to resolve the dispute or issue a provisional credit within 10 business days. 

Today is XX/XX/XXXX, the XXXX business day, and I have not received a provisional credit or resolution. This is a violation of federal law and has caused financial harm. I am requesting the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau to ensure the company complies with Regulation E and issues a provisional credit or refund immediately and makes up for their financial harm. They also incorrectly denied 2 claims connected to the other report of over {$2200.00} without doing any investigation. The website is a casino and Im XXXX  XXXX so theres no chance I could have used that and if they have taken this long to resolve the claims for over {$2200.00}, why did they deny my 2 {$500.00} claims. Also one of their support people said I would receive credits but when I asked another support person he said I would not and I mentioned that its been over 10 business days and he said that venmo wont give me credit

Complaint narrative:
Equifax has continued to report a medical collection account that was resolved through charitable assistance on XX/XX/XXXX, and carried a final balance of {$0.00}. I disputed this directly with Equifax on XX/XX/XXXX, but the item remained on my report with no appropriate correction or deletion. 

Equifax failed to conduct a proper reinvestigation or verify the accuracy of the information, in violation of FCRA 1681i and 1681e ( b ). The reporting of this debt despite the known resolution has harmed my credit and led to loan denials, emotional distress, and disruption of banking relationships.

Complaint narrative:
This complaint concerns Equifaxs violations of the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ), including : 15 U.S.C. 1681i ( a ) ( 1 ) ( A ) Requires consumer reporting agencies to conduct a reasonable reinvestigation of disputed information within 30 days.

15 U.S.C. 1681i ( a ) ( 5 ) ( A ) Requires deletion of any information that is inaccurate, incomplete, or unverifiable.

15 U.S.C. 1681b ( a ) Prohibits reporting of consumer information without a permissible purpose. 

Statement of Complaint I submitted a formal dispute to Equifax regarding fraudulent inquiries and accounts on my credit report, including XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX, Account XXXX. I provided an FTC Identity Theft Report and proper identification to support my claim. 

Equifax mailed me confirmation that this fraudulent account had been deleted from my credit file. However, despite this confirmation, the account and associated inquiries continue to appear in reports drawn from Equifax data, damaging my credit standing. 

Further, Equifax has failed to provide signed applications or contracts proving that I authorized this account or any related inquiries as required when verifying disputed information. 

This ongoing reporting of fraudulent information has directly caused a decline in my credit score, negatively impacting my financial opportunities.
