Company: Mountain Run Solutions, LLC
State: CO

Complaint narrative:
The company in complaint is mountain run solutions. I have an Alleged debt from XXXX  XXXX. That has gone to collections. My aunt and I received a text on XX/XX/XXXX about it. My aunt is not on that policy. XXXX is a home security company and my aunt is an emergency contact for me since I don't have any family here in Colorado. But her signature or any financial information is not on that contract. She should not be tied financially in any way. I called and asked them for a debt validation letter. I did not receive anything and forgot about it. On XX/XX/XXXX i received another text and stating that they would be reporting the account to the credit bureau on XX/XX/XXXX if action was not taken. I called immediately and I asked for validation of the debt to which they just sent me a packet of their own alleged payment amount. That packet arrived XX/XX/XXXX They didn't include any original bills but they included a copy of the contract with no billing history. The only date regarding the debt is XX/XX/2020. I didn't even live in the property the debt is regarding at this time. I called again to say I don't believe this debt is correct please send me info with an original bill and breakdown. Today on XX/XX/XXXX they put this dispute on my aunts credit. She's not on the contract and I've already started disputing this. There was no reason for that. And there's no information that can allude this being an acceptable action. The paperwork with My aunt 's name even shows that she is a secondary contact but not a customer. The top corner of the electronic signature disclosure only has my name. The actual contract only has my name. She is not anywhere on the customer information side. My credit seems to have not taken a hit yet as it should be because we are in dispute. My aunt should in no way be involved in this.

Company: CAPITAL ONE FINANCIAL CORPORATION
State: DE

Complaint narrative:
on XXXX XXXX capital one closed my credit card due to an identity theft dispute. they have been reporting late payments since XXXX 2022 Those alleged late payments have caused hardship in my life now. And by law those alleged late payments should not be furnished on my consumer report. that information is considered nonpublic personal information. Also, according to the TRUTH IN LENDING ACT which financial institutions abide by. there is no such thing as a late payment. it also states that a creditor may NOT treat a payment on a CREDIT CARD account under an open-end consumer credit plan as late for ANY purpose. since they have furnished multiple late payments on my consumer report, they are now making EXTORNIATE MEANS to collect the repayment of a line of credit this is causing harm to my reputation. I have been denied loans and other extensions of credit. according to congress whoever knowingly participates in collecting extensions of credit by extortionate means, or conspires to do so, in the use of any extortionate means shall be fined under this title or imprisoned not more than 20 years. they have broken multiple laws under the UNITED STATES CODE. 

1. 15 U.S. Code 6801 - Protection of nonpublic personal information congress clearly states that financial institutions have an affirmative and continuing obligation to respect the privacy of its customers and to protect the security and confidentiality of those customers nonpublic personal information.

nonpublic personal information means any personally identifiable financial information ; resulting from any transaction with the consumer or any service performed for the consumer ; otherwise obtained by the financial institution. which includes payment history.

According to 18 U.S. Code Chapter 42 - EXTORTIONATE CREDIT TRANSACTIONS 18 U.S. Code 894 - Collection of extensions of credit by extortionate means Whoever knowingly participates in any way, or conspires to do so, in the use of any extortionate means 1. to collect or attempt to collect any extension of credit, or 2. to punish any person for the nonrepayment thereof, shall be fined under this title or imprisoned not more than 20 years, or both.

extortionate means is any means which involves the use, or an express or implicit threat of use, of violence or other criminal means to cause harm to the person, reputation, or property of any person.
