Product: Credit reporting, credit repair services, or other personal consumer reports — Credit reporting
Issue: Problem with a credit reporting company's investigation into an existing problem — Their investigation did not fix an error on your report
Company: Resurgent Capital Services L.P.
State: TX

Complaint narrative:
I am writing to file a complaint against XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX for pursuing collection activities without a permissible purpose as outlined in the Fair Credit Reporting Act. Specifically, I believe that your agency has violated my rights by attempting to collect a debt that is not mine and by continuing to contact me despite my requests for verification of the debt. 

As you are aware, under the Fair Credit Reporting Act, collection agencies are only permitted to pursue debt collection activities if they have a permissible purpose, which includes situations where the debt is owed by the consumer or where the consumer has given their explicit permission for the agency to pursue collection. However, in my case, I have repeatedly informed your agency that I do not owe the debt in question and have requested that you provide me with verification of the debt. 

Despite my requests, your agency has continued to contact me in an attempt to collect the debt, which is both harassing and a violation of my rights under the Fair Credit Reporting Act. Furthermore, I believe that your agency has also failed to provide me with the required disclosures about my rights under the law, including the right to dispute the debt and the right to request validation of the debt. 

In light of these violations, I am requesting that your agency immediately cease all collection activities related to the alleged debt and that you provide me with written confirmation that you have done so. I also request that you provide me with verification of the debt in question, including information about the original creditor, the amount owed, and any other relevant details. 

If your agency fails to comply with these requests, I will be forced to pursue legal action to protect my rights under the Fair Credit Reporting Act. I trust that you will take prompt and appropriate action to resolve this matter and ensure that your agency complies with all applicable laws and regulations.

Complaint narrative:

Issue: Took or threatened to take negative or legal action — Sued you without properly notifying you of lawsuit
Company: JPMORGAN CHASE & CO.
State: TX

Complaint narrative:
About 6 months ago I was contacted by Chase that I owed them around XXXX from a credit card I have NEVER heard of. They said that I opened the account and there were payments from my bank. I informed them that I did have my bank account information stolen as well as XXXX and it could have been from this. They never responded to me, then a legal firm sent me a letter saying they could help me because CHASE sued me. I NEVER got any information from them after writing mail-in letters to their corporation, I was never informed I would be sued. I thought that they would eventually resolve their issues at corporate or send me another letter. Instead, they decided to sue me with no information or communication. I do not want this on my credit score and I do not want to be sued. I really need help because I have tried to be in contact with the company and sent mail in letters TO them. I had no idea I'm being sued, my address is not the one on the credit card, I had a period of time my information was misused. This company is taking advantage of people with their lawyers since they have the money to use them against any regular working American. They didn't even communicate me being sued. They didn't even respond to my communications. I responded to them several times and instead of responding they decide to sue me and ruin my credit score at a time I am trying to purchase a home all behind my back. This company is extremely shady and just uses their power to bully citizens. A multi-billion dollar corporation couldn't even respond to my letters and communications and decides to randomly sue me without me knowing. It is well in their capability to communicate with me to resolve this issue. This is wrong and fraudulent activity by a XXXX institute.

Company: Affirm Holdings, Inc
State: OH

Complaint narrative:
THIS IS NOT A DUPLICATE COMPLAINT THIS IS A HUGE ISSUE AT HAND. 

I have contacted AFFIRM numerous times to get assistance, once again Im hard of hearing. I cant understand whats being said on the phone, which I have stated and its well known. 
I have 8 loans left in Charge Off and by their own rules they should have gone to a collections partner by now. Their collections partners have had no issues with communicating through email which has helped me greatly and have been able to pay those off.

The charge offs are almost 1 to 2 months old. And they have yet to send them to their collections partners. Which has made it impossible for me to pay it because theyre demanding I call in, which would take complete advantage of my hearing issue and not understand whats being said. And having an agent demand I have a family member help is not acceptable. I am a XXXX veteran on top of this, so some help would be nice for a change. 
When I ask for help in messaging or emailing Im just told to call, it doesnt matter how many times I say I cant understand whats being said on the phone due to my XXXX.

Issue: Attempts to collect debt not owed — Debt was paid
Company: Portfolio Recovery Associates, LLC
State: TX

Complaint narrative:
Portfolio Recovery submits and falsifies information regarding an out dated account each year. When challenged they will remove the account, wait about 6 months and renter the information as though it is a new account. 

They are pretending to be XXXX XXXX  a company who finance my XXXX car in XXXX. My car note was {$460.00} a month. 
My car has been paid in full for several years. 

The information for this account has been changed several times. It started with a purchase from XXXX which was sold to XXXX XXXX., who sold it to portfolio recovery when it was about to expire. Portfolio recovery falsified the date. Each time I dispute it, they remove it and return it as a new account with falsified dates. 
I received a line of credit from XXXX XXXX  in XXXX. I never used the card. They are using this information to make the charge look valid.

Company: Eastern Account Systems of Connecticut, Inc.
State: DC

Complaint narrative:
I recently discovered, through my credit reports, that Eastern Account System, located at XXXX XXXX XXXX, XXXX, CT XXXX fraudulently reported to the credit bureau that I owed it {$220.00} on behalf of XXXX XXXX XXXX ( Cable/Cellular ). 

I have never done any business with Eastern Account System, XXXX XXXX XXXX, or any Connecticut corporation. I do not have any cable service and my cellular service is through XXXX which my account has never been in default and is up to date. The supposed account that Eastern Account System alleges is pure FRAUD. Nevertheless, they reported to the credit bureaus that I have an account that is in collections. 

I disputed the fraudulent information with all three of the bureaus, and two of them found that the account was indeed fraud. As such, they deleted it from my report. The third, XXXX, indicated that they reached out to the company who allegedly verified the debt. Rather than remove the false report, they merely noted ( in the comments section ) that I disputed the account I have reached out to Eastern Account Systems numerous times in an attempt to learn more about this supposed account. They do not answer the phone or call me back. Additionally, I have never been contacted by Eastern Account Systems or XXXX XXXX XXXX regarding any open accounts in my name, any bills due, or any collection attempts. 

Again, I have never done ANY business with either of these companies and they should not be reporting fraudulent accounts/collection attempts to the credit bureaus. 

Please fine both Eastern Account Systems and XXXX XXXX XXXX for their blatant fraud.
