Issue: Written notification about debt — Didn't receive enough information to verify debt
Company: Bull City Financial Solutions, Inc
State: FL

Complaint narrative:
XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX, FL XXXX XXXX XXXX XX/XX/year> Bull City Financial Solutions , Inc . 
XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX, XXXX XXXX XXXX, NC XXXX Subject : Urgent Dispute of Debt Account Number XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX  Dear Bull City Financials, This letter serves as a formal dispute of the alleged debt of {$180.00} that you claim I owe to XXXX XXXX, for which you are acting as a third-party collection agency. I am writing to you within the 30-day period as stipulated by the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act ( FDCPA ) from the date I received your initial communication. 
I dispute this debt in its entirety. My primary reason for this dispute is that I never received a bill in the mail from XXXX XXXX for the services related to this alleged debt. Without receiving a proper bill, I was unaware of any outstanding balance or potential issues. 
Under the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act ( FDCPA ), 15 U.S.C. 1692g, you are required to provide validation of this debt. I demand that you provide me with the following : Verification of the original creditor ( XXXX XXXX ) and the exact amount of the debt. 
Proof that I am the party responsible for this debt. 
Documentation from XXXX XXXX showing that a bill was mailed to my address for the period in question and the specific services rendered. 
Proof of your legal right to collect this debt. 
Furthermore, this alleged debt has resulted in a derogatory mark on my credit report. This mark is inaccurate and damaging, as I was never properly notified of this debt by the original creditor. Under the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ), 15 U.S.C. 1681i, consumers have the right to dispute inaccurate information on their credit reports.

I demand the immediate deletion of any and all derogatory remarks related to this alleged debt from my credit reports with all credit reporting agencies ( XXXX XXXX and XXXXXXXX  ). 
Please be advised that if this matter is not resolved to my satisfaction, including the complete deletion of the derogatory mark from my credit report, I will not hesitate to pursue all available legal remedies, including but not limited to filing complaints with the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau ( CFPB ), the Federal Trade Commission ( FTC ), and my state 's Attorney General 's office. 
I expect a written response to this dispute, along with the requested validation, within 30 days of the date of this letter. During this validation period, you must cease all collection activities regarding this disputed debt. 
Sincerely, XXXX XXXX I have attempted to dispute twice through XXXX XXXX and it continues to get declined. I attempted to reach out via the dispute process on website and I get an error message.

Company: TRANSUNION INTERMEDIATE HOLDINGS, INC.
State: WI

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.

Complaint narrative:
I am filing this complaint because the credit bureau has continued to report fraudulent accounts resulting from identity theft, despite my formal disputes and submission of supporting documentation ( including an FTC Identity Theft Report ). More seriously, the bureau has reinserted previously deleted fraudulent accounts without the proper certification from furnishers and without providing the required consumer notice, in direct violation of FCRA 1681i ( a ) ( 5 ). This misconduct is not an isolated incident. In fact, credit bureaus were sued late last year for the exact same unlawful practice, demonstrating a broader pattern of disregard for the Fair Credit Reporting Act and consumers ' rights.The bureau has failed to conduct a reasonable reinvestigation under FCRA 611 ( a ) / 15 U.S.C. 1681i, has not provided written verification or original documentation proving the legitimacy of the accounts, and continues to report unverifiable negative information, harming my credit and causing ongoing distress.
