Consumer complaint received 2025-07-24 00:00:00
Product: Debt collection — I do not know
Issue: Attempts to collect debt not owed — Debt is not yours
Company: CL Holdings LLC
State: FL

Complaint narrative:
I am submitting this complaint regarding Jefferson Capital Systems , LLC, who is attempting to collect a debt that has never been validated, despite my formal request under the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act ( FDCPA ).

Jefferson Capital began reporting a collection account to the credit bureaus ( XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX  ), claiming I owe a balance. I immediately exercised my rights under 15 U.S.C. 1692g by sending a written request for validation of the debt. To this day, they have not provided any proof, such as : Documentation showing I owe the debt, A contract or agreement with my signature, Proof of their legal authority to collect on the account, or A full breakdown of the amount they are trying to collect. 

Despite this, Jefferson Capital continues to pursue collection and reports the account on my credit report, which is damaging my credit score and violating my consumer rights. 

Relevant Law Violations : FDCPA 809 ( 15 U.S.C. 1692g ) : A debt collector must stop collection activity until the debt is validated if a request is made within 30 days. Jefferson Capital has ignored this.

FCRA 1681s-2 & 1681e ( b ) : It is unlawful to furnish or report inaccurate or unverifiable information to credit bureaus. This debt remains on my credit reports without validation. 

What Im Requesting : That the CFPB investigate Jefferson Capital Systems actions.

That Jefferson Capital be instructed to immediately delete this account from my credit report with all bureaus. 

That Jefferson Capital cease any and all collection activity until proper validation is provided. 

That the CFPB ensure they comply fully with both the FDCPA and the FCRA. 

This situation has caused me unnecessary harm and stress, and I appreciate your help in ensuring this matter is resolved quickly and fairly.

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: EQUIFAX, INC.
State: TX

Complaint narrative:
I am filing a complaint against XXXX ( XXXX XXXX ) for failing to respond to my prior dispute regarding the improper re-aging of a charged-off account. The account continues to report as charged off every month, which artificially updates the delinquency and makes the account appear more recent than it is. This is a clear violation of the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ). 

This is not only misleading and damaging to my credit profile, but it also prevents the account from aging off my report as legally required. I previously disputed this issue, and XXXX  has already removed the account, acknowledging the error. However, the same account remains on TransUnion and Equifax, and XXXX has not responded to my concerns or taken steps to correct the reporting.

Company: JPMORGAN CHASE & CO.

Complaint narrative:
In XX/XX/XXXX, I contacted Chase to have two accounts put into a payment plan to be paid in full via direct debit from my checking account. For four and a half years every payment came out seamlessly from both accounts. In XX/XX/XXXX, Chase stopped the auto pay for one of the accounts. In XX/XX/XXXX, they reported the account as delinquent and my credit score dropped XXXX points two weeks before I am to close on a mortgage. I contacted Chase and was told that way back in XXXX, I chose to stop the payment plan on one of the accounts 6 months prior to it being paid in full. This is a ludicrous claim, why would anyone do that? In addition, the information on Chase 's own website shows both accounts enrolled in a payment plan well into XXXX. They also claim to have contacted me yet their own website shows no contacts or letters were sent. Chase needs to remove the delinquent status from every Credit agency.
