Consumer complaint received 2025-07-19 00:00:00
Product: Debt collection — Other debt
Issue: Attempts to collect debt not owed — Debt is not yours
Company: Collection Bureau of America Ltd.
State: CA

Complaint narrative:
I am submitting this complaint because Collection Bureau of America is attempting to collect a debt that I do not owe. The original creditor, XXXX XXXX ( XXXX ), failed to retrieve their equipment after I made multiple requests before moving. I do not believe I should be charged for this, as it resulted from their inaction, not mine. 

I formally disputed the debt in writing on XX/XX/year>, and requested proper validation under the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act ( FDCPA ). Despite that, I received at least five additional emails from the company trying to collect payment before they ever responded. On XX/XX/XXXX, I received a billing history that does not meet the legal standard for validation. It did not include a contract, a clear breakdown of charges, or proof that the collection agency had authority to collect. After that, I received two more collection emails, even after I sent a final notice demanding that all contact stop.

This is a clear violation of the FDCPA. I made multiple attempts to resolve this issue directly and gave the agency a final opportunity to respond. They ignored the deadline. I am requesting that this account be permanently closed, that no negative credit information be reported, and that regulatory action be taken to hold them accountable.

Complaint narrative:
Consumer Reporting Agencies play a crucial role in gathering and assessing consumer credit information. However, they must exercise their responsibilities with fairness, impartiality, and respect for the consumers right to privacy. The banking system relies on accurate and fair credit reporting, and when these reporting methods are unfair, it undermines public trust, which is vital for the system 's stability. I never gave my explicit, written consent for these agencies to report my information, which is a violation of 15 U.S. Code 1681b ( 2 ). This violation has led to an alleged case of identity theft, breaching 15 U.S. Code 1681c-2. The accounts in question are not related to any transactions made by me.

The Fair Debt Collection Practices Act was created to ensure that laws and procedures are in place to protect consumers from abusive, deceptive, and unfair practices by debt collectors. In this case, the company has violated 15 U.S. Code 1692f, which prohibits debt collectors from using unfair or unconscionable means to collect a debt. Specifically, they can not collect any amounts that arent explicitly authorized by the agreement or allowed by law. Additionally, the company has violated 15 U.S. Code 1692e, which prohibits the use of false, deceptive, or misleading representations in debt collection efforts. This includes using deceptive methods to collect a debt or gather consumer information. Moreover, they are forbidden from contacting consumers at inconvenient times or places, or engaging in behavior that harasses or abuses consumers.

In this case, the company has harassed me by claiming I owe a debt that I do not recognize as my responsibility. They have also contacted me at inconvenient times and places, in violation of the law.

Company: Experian Information Solutions Inc.
State: NY

Complaint narrative:
Experian has failed to fulfill its legal obligation under the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ) to conduct a reasonable reinvestigation of disputed information on my credit report, leaving inaccurate or unverifiable accounts unresolved. The Consumer Financial Protection Bureau ( CFPB ) has recently filed a lawsuit against Experian, alleging systemic issues such as failing to forward consumer-provided evidence to furnishers, accepting unreliable responses, and failing to adequately notify consumers of dispute outcomes. These failures align with my experience, where Experian has neither corrected nor removed disputed items despite the evidence I provided, causing ongoing harm to my credit standing. I am requesting immediate corrective action to remove or amend the disputed accounts, as Experian 's inaction violates federal law and my rights as a consumer.

Company: Experian Information Solutions Inc.
State: VA

Complaint narrative:
I am updating a late payment that is currently being reported on my credit report as " open '' or unresolved. This entry is inaccurate and misleading. I have either already resolved the payment, or I was never late as claimed. The continued reporting of this item as open and delinquent is a violation of the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ), particularly 15 U.S.C. 1681e ( b ), which requires consumer reporting agencies to maintain maximum possible accuracy of the information they report.

This misreporting has negatively impacted my credit score and may hinder my ability to obtain credit or employment. I am requesting an immediate investigation into this matter, as well as a correction or deletion of the inaccurate late payment record if it can not be verified.

Company: Resurgent Capital Services L.P.
State: FL

Complaint narrative:
They have bought several debts in my name I had to dispute. I have been able to get a couple removed and they find another to buy. I have disputed the accuracy of the accounts because they are wrong and I have proven that. They have refused to correct the balance or remove the account and continuously add remarks to my account making it harder for me to obtain credit.

They bought these debts knowing that they had the potential of being incorrect and once they were proven to be incorrect they should have been handled according to the law. They have sent several messages stating that they are following regulations, but are clearly not following guidelines.
