Issue: Incorrect information on your report — Public record information inaccurate
Company: TRANSUNION INTERMEDIATE HOLDINGS, INC.
State: MI

Complaint narrative:
I am writing to formally dispute the recent response provided in regard to my complaint filed with the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau ( CFPB ) concerning the inaccurate reporting of a bankruptcy on my credit file. I have serious concerns about the validity of credit bureaus verification process and the credibility of the information allegedly used to substantiate this reporting. The CFPB response states that the disputed public record, labeled as Public Record - XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX  VERIFIED AS REPORTED, '' has been reviewed and verified. However, I have obtained clear, written confirmation from the relevant court U.S. Bankruptcy Court that they do not report or furnish bankruptcy proceedings information to credit reporting agencies. This official statement from the court raises serious questions about who, in fact, provided the information used in your " verification '' process. Furthermore, I contacted XXXX, a known third-party data provider, and they confirmed that they have no record of the bankruptcy account in question. This evidence contradicts any claim that the information was verified as reported. Given that : 1. 2. The court itself has stated it does not report information to credit bureaus. XXXX, a potential data source, has confirmed no record of the account. It is clear that TransUnion lacks a reliable and valid source to justify the continued reporting of this bankruptcy on my credit file. This failure in the verification process constitutes a direct violation of the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ) under Section 611, which requires that consumer reporting agencies conduct a reasonable investigation to ensure the accuracy of information included in consumer files.

Company: ENCORE CAPITAL GROUP INC.
State: FL

Complaint narrative:
I became aware of a collection account on my credit report that I believe is inaccurate and improperly reported. Upon discovery, I promptly initiated multiple disputes with the collection agency and credit bureaus to request validation of the debt. Despite these repeated efforts, the collection agency has failed to provide the legally required documentation, such as a detailed account statement, proof of debt ownership, or evidence that the debt is valid and mine. 
Instead of a proper response, I have received vague, non-responsive communications that do not address the issues I raised. The account continues to be listed on my credit report with inaccurate balances, dates, and status information, which is misleading and inconsistent with XXXX XXXX compliance standards. 
This failure to substantiate the debt and correct the reporting after multiple dispute attempts violates my consumer rights under the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act ( FDCPA ), the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ), and other relevant federal statutes. The continued presence of this unverified collection is adversely affecting my creditworthiness and financial well being.

Company: JPMORGAN CHASE & CO.
State: IL

Complaint narrative:
I am filing a complaint against Chase Bank for failing to assist in a case of contractor fraud and coercion involving XXXX payments. 

Between XX/XX/XXXX and XX/XX/XXXX, I made several XXXX payments totaling {$14000.00} to a contractor named XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX in Illinois. XXXX XXXX repeatedly harassed and coerced me into sending payments, calling me up to 20 times a day and threatening to come to my home. 

XXXX XXXX misrepresented the condition of my property, demanded increasing payments, and falsely claimed that repair work was nearly complete. When I was finally able to inspect the property in XX/XX/XXXX, I discovered that no work had been done at all. I filed both a police report and an IC3 ( FBI Internet Crime Complaint ). 

I reported the incident to XXXX in XXXX and to Chase Bank in XX/XX/XXXX ( Case No. XXXX ). Chase informed me verbally that they do not refund scams because the XXXX payments were authorized. However, these payments were not voluntary they were made under duress, deception, and coercion, which constitutes fraudulent inducement and should be treated as unauthorized under Regulation E ( 12 CFR 1005.6 ).

I am requesting that the CFPB review Chases handling of my case, require a formal written explanation, and ensure a proper reinvestigation in light of the evidence of coercion and criminal fraud.

I have submitted multiple formal dispute letters to Equifax Information Services LLC regarding inaccurate and unverifiable information on my credit report ( see attached copies ). Despite clear legal notice, Equifax Information Services LLC continues to willfully report inaccurate data in violation of FCRA 15 U.S.C. 1681e ( b ), 1681i, and FDCPA 1692e and 1692f. I have exhausted all attempts to resolve this matter directly with the credit bureau. I now request the CFPB to investigate and enforce compliance.

Complaint narrative:
Issue : Debt buyer reporting unverifiable collection after consumer dispute ; method of verification requested What happened : XXXX XXXX XXXX is reporting a {$390.00} collection tradeline ( original creditor : XXXX XXXX XXXX ). I previously disputed this account with the credit reporting agencies, and the file shows that the bureaus marked the tradeline as Meets requirements of the FCRA. However, neither XXXX XXXX XXXX nor the bureaus have provided documentary evidence showing the method of verification or chain of title/assignment from the original creditor. The account continues to be reported monthly. 

Legal and factual basis : Under FCRA 611 ( 15 U.S.C. 1681i ), I have the right to request the specific method of verification used by the CRAs during their reinvestigation, including the contact used to verify and any documents provided. See 15 U.S.C. 1681i ( a ) ( 7 ).

Furnishers have duties under FCRA 623 ( 15 U.S.C. 1681s-2 ) to correct or delete inaccurate or incomplete information after notice of dispute.

Under FDCPA 15 U.S.C. 1692g, collectors must validate debts upon written request. Continued reporting without documentation may violate FCRA and FDCPA provisions, including 1692e ( false or misleading representations ).

Requested resolution : Provide the method of verification used by the credit bureaus and XXXX XXXX XXXX, including the name and contact of the party who supplied verification and copies of the actual documentation relied upon to verify this debt. ( Cite : 15 U.S.C. 1681i ( a ) ( 7 ) ). 

If XXXX XXXX XXXX or the bureaus can not produce documentary evidence of verification or chain of assignment within 30 days, delete the tradeline from all credit reports and confirm deletion to me in writing. 

If you intend to continue reporting, provide the full documentation proving you have the right to report and collect on this debt, including assignment/purchase documents and any contract signed by the consumer. 

Relevant statutory citations to consider : FCRA 15 U.S.C. 1681i ( a ) ( 7 ), 1681s-2, 1681e ( b ) ; FDCPA 15 U.S.C. 1692g, 1692e.

Despite the lack of verification, this account continues to appear on my credit report, which constitutes a violation of the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ) requiring only accurate and verifiable information to be reported.
