Issue: Problem with a company's investigation into an existing problem — Their investigation did not fix an error on your report

State: CA

Complaint narrative:
I am filing this complaint against XXXX XXXX XXXX regarding two accounts they have reported and are attempting to collect on, with account numbers XXXX and XXXX ( also referenced as account # XXXX, originally from XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX  account # XXXX ) **. 

XXXX is reporting balances totaling over {$800.00} across multiple accounts on my credit file, without any supporting information, payment history, or verified ownership details. These accounts appear to be re-aged and unverifiable, in direct violation of the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ) 623 and the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act ( FDCPA ), 15 U.S.C. 1692g. 

Here are the issues : Unverified and incomplete reporting : Neither account includes payment terms, payment history, or legally sufficient contact data. 

They appear to be stale debts with no evidence of legitimate activity, and have remained unresolved despite being disputed. 

Failure to validate debt upon request : I previously sent a formal debt validation request to XXXX XXXX XXXX requesting : The original signed agreement with XXXX XXXX XXXX, XXXX. 

A complete payment history Proof of XXXX legal ownership of the debt XXXX  license to collect debt in California To date, they have not provided any of this documentation, and continue to report this information to the credit bureaus, which constitutes an unfair and deceptive practice under FDCPA and FCRA. 

Harm caused by unlawful reporting : I was recently denied a loan due to the appearance of these accounts on my credit report. 

I believe this denial is the direct result of inaccurate and incomplete information furnished by XXXX, and I assert that this constitutes demonstrable financial harm. 

Demand for removal and arbitration : I am now demanding the immediate deletion of both XXXX XXXX XXXX accounts from my credit reports. 

Additionally, I hereby invoke my right to arbitration regarding these accounts. 

I am also requesting validation of any other debts XXXX XXXX XXXX or XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX be attempting to collect from me.

Complaint narrative:
I have discovered late payment notations on my credit report that are false and need to be corrected right away. These inaccuracies are unfairly reducing my credit score and jeopardizing my financial health. I consider this completely unacceptable. 

Some of the reported late payments were made on time, while others appear to stem from internal processing issues. If these late marks can not be validated with original recordssuch as dated billing statements and signed account agreementsthey should not be present on my credit file. The FCRA requires all reported data to be factually accurate and verifiable. 

I am demanding the immediate correction or deletion of these late payment entries. If the reporting companies can not produce solid, documented proof, these items must be removed. Failure to address this promptly will be considered a deliberate violation of federal consumer protection laws.

Complaint narrative:
I recently conducted a review of my credit report and found several items that have caused me significant distress. These items appear to be unverifiable, inaccurate, and questionable. Your agency has failed to ensure the accuracy of the information as required under 15 U.S. Code 1681e ( b ) Accuracy of Reports. This statute mandates that consumer reporting agencies must follow reasonable procedures to ensure the maximum possible accuracy of the information they report.

Furthermore, under 15 U.S. Code 1681i ( 5 ) Treatment of Inaccurate or Unverifiable Information, you are required to promptly delete or modify any information found to be inaccurate, incomplete, or unverifiable during a reinvestigation. If you are unable to provide me with verifiable proof of the accuracy of the disputed items within 15 days of your investigation, these accounts and the related information must be removed from my credit report. 

Additionally, under the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act ( FDCPA ), I do not recognize any of the alleged creditors or debt collectors. I have never entered into a valid contract with any of these entities, nor have I engaged in any transactions with them. As such, these accounts are fraudulent and and inaccurate information.

Company: CHERRY TECHNOLOGIES INC.
State: TX

Complaint narrative:
I have been actively trying to resolve an issue with the original creditor, Cherry Technology. When I contacted them, they informed me that they no longer own the account in question and therefore could not verify any details regarding it. I was told that the account had been sold to XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX, a collection agency, and that Cherry Technology was no longer responsible for it. Despite this, Cherry Technology has continued to report the account on my credit report, even though they claimed they had transferred ownership and responsibility to XXXX XXXX. I was advised by both Cherry Technology and XXXX XXXX that if I paid the outstanding debt to XXXX XXXX, the account would be removed from my credit report entirely. Based on this guidance, I decided to pay the full amount to XXXX XXXX in good faith, with the understanding that the collection account would be deleted afterward. During the payment process, XXXX XXXX confirmed that once the debt was paid, the item would be removed from my credit report as promised. However, after fulfilling my obligation and completing the payment, I was later told that because Cherry Technology no longer owns the account, they would not be responsible for removing it even though they continue to report it each month as if they still do. This has caused confusion and frustration, as I took all necessary steps to resolve the debt based on the information given to me, and I am now seeking to have the incorrect credit reporting addressed and removed.

Complaint narrative:
I am filing this complaint against XXXX XXXX XXXX due to severe and unjustified negative credit reporting that has significantly impacted my financial standing. My credit report was recently updated to reflect over 20 late payment entries from XXXX which has caused my credit score to drop by over XXXX points. This action was taken without any prior notice, warning, or correspondenceI did not receive any emails, letters, or alerts informing me of this drastic change before it was reported to the credit bureaus. 

Additionally, I have become aware of an ongoing data breach involving XXXX XXXX XXXX, which raises serious concerns regarding unauthorized access to my personal and financial information raising concerns over a XXXX violation. Given this security lapse, I have reason to believe that my account records may have been compromised or altered without my consent. 

I am in the process of purchasing a home and this has caused my loan to be halted until this is remedied. This has caused extreme financial distress and this error in reporting needs to be remedied immediately. I did not authorize any changes to my account status, and I no longer feel comfortable having my student loans serviced and reported to the credit bureaus under these conditions. 

Violations and Consumer Protection Rights 1. Failure to Provide Notice of Negative Credit Reporting - Under the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ), loan servicers are required to provide accurate and fair reporting. I was not notified in advance that these accounts would be marked late, which denied me the opportunity to address any potential issues before they were reported. 

2. Possible Unauthorized Reporting and Account Compromise Due to Data Breach - The reported data breach involving XXXX raises serious questions about the integrity of my loan accounts. If my data was exposed or manipulated, XXXX may have incorrectly or fraudulently reported late payments that I did not actually incur. 

3. Failure to Properly Investigate and Verify Account Status - Given the security risks and errors in reporting, I request full verification and documentation proving the legitimacy of the late payments, including a detailed account history showing how and when they were marked late.
