Consumer complaint received 2025-07-23 00:00:00
Product: Debt collection — Credit card debt
Issue: Attempts to collect debt not owed — Debt is not yours
Company: CL Holdings LLC
State: OH

Complaint narrative:
I am the victim of a possible identity theft. I recently received a letter from XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX on behalf of Jefferson Capital Systems , LLC claiming I owe a debt of {$580.00} allegedly incurred through a credit account with KingSize/Comenity Bank XXXX I never opened any such account and was unaware of its existence until I received this letter. 

I disputed the debt over the phone with XXXX XXXX back in XXXX of 2025 and I was sworn at and they asked for my SSN and to verify identity over the phone. The overall tone of that call felt like it was fake. Even when I asked them to provide me with information they refused but demanded more personal info from me and I felt scared and hung up. Fast forward to more recently I sent XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX a response to their letter sent to me on XX/XX/XXXX in writing and requested full validation under the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act ( FDCPA ). In response, XXXX XXXX XXXX failed to provide any signed application or agreement, proof of my liability, shipping address for the goods, or sufficient details of what was allegedly purchased. Instead, they provided vague billing statements that referenced generic items such as crewneck shirts with no sizes or shipping addresses listed.

They then demanded extremely personal and sensitive documents, including my drivers license, Social Security card, five samples of my signature, a notarized affidavit, and a police report, even though they have provided no legal proof that I am the debtor. I believe this is an abuse of the collection process and may be a violation of my consumer rights.

I am filing this complaint to report that I am being pursued for a debt that does not belong to me and that the collectors involved are making it difficult, if not impossible, for me to dispute it properly under the law.

Issue: Problem with a purchase shown on your statement — Credit card company isn't resolving a dispute about a purchase on your statement
Company: SYNCHRONY FINANCIAL
State: WA

Complaint narrative:
I used a deferred-interest promotion through CareCredit and misunderstood the terms. I believed that as long as I paid off the balance, XXXX avoid interest. I missed the end of the promo period by a short time, and I was then charged a very large amount of retroactive interest. 

I try to pay off the balance immediately once I saw this, and Ive tried contacting CareCredit multiple times to request a courtesy adjustment. I was told no such option exists, despite other customers receiving waivers for similar issues. 

I believe the terms of the promotion were unclear and misleading, and that CareCredit is not giving customers a fair chance to resolve this. Im requesting a review and a one-time interest reversal as a XXXXl resolution.

Company: Experian Information Solutions Inc.

Complaint narrative:
I am filing this complaint because the consumer reporting agency failed to meet its obligations under 15 U.S.C. 1681i ( a ) ( 7 ) of the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ), which requires the agency to provide, upon request, a detailed description of the reinvestigation procedures used to verify disputed information. I specifically requested the name and contact information of the furnisher, the identity of the person the agency communicated with, and the documentation used to confirm the accuracy of the disputed account. The agency did not provide this information within the 15-day timeframe required by law. This lack of response is a clear violation of my rights under the FCRA.

Issue: Incorrect information on your report — Account status incorrect
Company: CITIBANK, N.A.
State: CA

Complaint narrative:
I am disputing inaccurate and inconsistent reporting of a XXXX late payment on my Citibank/Best Buy Visa account. 

XXXX XXXX XXXX both report a XXXX late in XX/XX/year>, while XXXX reports the same XXXX late in XX/XX/year>. These conflicting dates for the same alleged delinquency violate FCRA 607 ( b ), which requires maximum possible accuracy, and also violate XXXX XXXX industry reporting standards, which require that payment history be reported consistently across all credit bureaus. 

In addition, XXXX  reports a {$0.00} high credit on this account, while both XXXX XXXX XXXX show the correct amount of {$8300.00}. This affects my credit utilization and further supports that inaccurate and inconsistent data is being reported. 

I submitted a dispute to the credit reporting agencies, and the data furnishers did not correct or resolve the issue. Since this information can not be verified accurately and uniformly across the credit bureaus, I am requesting it be removed entirely as required by FCRA 611 ( a ) and Metro 2 guidelines. 

Please have the companies either provide full validation with matching documentation across all bureaus, or remove the late payment and correct the high credit field. 

Thank you.

Company: TRANSUNION INTERMEDIATE HOLDINGS, INC.

Complaint narrative:
I am requesting the immediate and permanent removal of the inaccurately reported repossession account from XXXX ( Account Number : XXXX ) from my TransUnion credit file. 

This account is being reported without proper validation or compliance with legal notice requirements, including : No proof of a notice of default or right to cure ; No deficiency balance notice ; No documentation confirming the repossession or sale was lawful. 

The creditor has failed to provide verifiable supporting documentation as required under the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ), specifically : 1681e ( b ) duty to report accurate, complete information ; 1681s-2 ( a ) ( 1 ) ( A ) duty of furnishers to report fairly and truthfully ; 1681i ( a ) duty to properly reinvestigate disputed data.

I am requesting that TransUnion : Conduct a manual reinvestigation ( not automated via e-OSCAR ) ; Require the creditor to submit original, signed documents verifying the repossession, sale details, and all consumer notifications ; Delete the account if validation can not be provided ; Issue a written confirmation of deletion and provide an updated credit report within 15 business days.
