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.

Company: ENCORE CAPITAL GROUP INC.
State: SC

Complaint narrative:
I have received mutual notices from Midland Credit Management stating Pre-Legal Notice. Failure to reply may result in an attorney review. 
This is a demand for full payment of {$3800.00} on your XXXX XXXX XXXXXXXX. account. If you do not reply, we plan on sending your account to an attorney in the state of SC. 

If your account is forwarded to an attorney, this may result in a lawsuit against you. If this process results in litigation, and a judgment is entered against you, the judgment will be enforceable according to state law. 

So I responded requesting debt validation. I was told from the representative XXXX XXXX they have provide me this information multiples times despite me telling him I have not received anything besides the notice. XXXX then proceeded to call me another persons name the name of XXXX that I am not associated with in anyway. Because of this I once again I needed debt validation to make sure it was mine before proceeding. He continued to threaten pre-legal action and told me I could go to the website to see what I need to see and make a payment despite me requesting this information in writing via mail. I asked to cease and desist communication until I could get the verification/validation and he continued to pressure me to settle the debt.

Complaint narrative:
Unauthorized Hard Inquiries on My Credit Reports ( XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX ) I am disputing multiple unauthorized hard inquiries that appeared on my XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX  credit reports. These inquiries were not authorized by me, and I did not give any company permission to access my credit for financing, auto financing, or any related purposes. 

The unauthorized inquiries include multiple entries between XX/XX/XXXX and XX/XX/XXXX, from companies such as XXXX XXXX, XXXX, and other finance-related institutions. I did not apply for credit or authorize any of these inquiries. 

The only legitimate inquiries on my credit reports are from XXXX XXXX XXXX ( XX/XX/XXXX ) and XXXX XXXX XXXX on XX/XX/XXXX, XX/XX/XXXX, and XX/XX/XXXX. All other hard inquiries during this period should be investigated and removed immediately from all three credit reports. 

These unauthorized inquiries are negatively affecting my credit profile and were made without my consent. I am requesting prompt investigation and removal under the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ), Section 604 ( a ) ( 2 ), which requires consumer authorization before any credit inquiry. 

Thank you for your quick attention to this matter.

Complaint narrative:
This is now the 7th documented attempt to correct this reporting, and at this point, it is clear that the bureaus and data furnishers are engaging in malicious noncompliance. Despite being notified of these errors, theyve refused to follow the law and correct or delete the inaccurate information. 
There is no original contract, no signed application, no itemized billing statementsnothing to substantiate the validity or accuracy of the tradeline. This violates FCRA 609 ( a ) ( 1 ) and consumer disclosure rights, and also breaks the Consumer Financial Protection Act ( CFPA ) for unfair, deceptive, and abusive acts or practices ( UDAAP ).

The Metro 2 format clearly mandates accurate coding and complete reinvestigation protocols, which are being ignored.

Complaint narrative:
I want to stress that I did not give written permission for these specific transactions to be included in my consumer report. At no point did I authorize these entries, and their presence on my report is unwarranted. Consequently, I am formally requesting that these accounts be blocked and removed from my report immediately. It is important to clarify that this request is not due to any error or negligence on my part. There has been no oversight or misunderstanding on my end. Instead, this issue arises solely from the fact that I did not explicitly authorize the inclusion of these transactions in my report. I am diligent about maintaining the accuracy and privacy of my financial records, and these unauthorized entries compromise that integrity. I trust that you will handle this matter with the urgency and seriousness it deserves. Please confirm the removal of these transactions from my report as soon as possible. Thank you for your prompt attention to this issue.
