Issue: Incorrect information on your report — Account information incorrect
Company: TRANSUNION INTERMEDIATE HOLDINGS, INC.

Complaint narrative:
I found out the creditor didn't give the required 21-day notice with a statement. This would've let me pay on time and avoid late fees. This error made it seem like I didn't pay when I should have, which is the creditor 's mistake.

Company: DISCOVER BANK
State: MI

Complaint narrative:
Consumer Financial Protection Bureau XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX Subject : Complaint Against DISCOVERBANK account # XXXX for Violations of Consumer Rights Dear CFPB, I am writing to formally lodge a complaint against DISCOVERBANK for engaging in practices that violate my rights under federal law, specifically under the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act ( FDCPA ) and the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ). 


Violations Failure to Provide Validation Information : Under 12 CFR 1006.34 ( b ) ( 5 ), a debt collector is required to provide validation information about the debt. Despite my request for such information on XX/XX/year>, DISCOVERBANK has not provided any validation of the alleged debt. 


Premature Reporting to Credit Bureaus : Without providing the required validation information, DISCOVERBANK has placed a collection account on my consumer report. This action violates my rights as outlined in 12 CFR 1006.34 ( c ) ( 4 ) ( i ), which states that consumers must be given a chance to dispute the account before it is reported.

Use of False, Misleading, and Deceptive Means : DISCOVERBANK has violated my consumer rights by using false, misleading, and deceptive means in their attempts to collect this debt, contrary to the provisions of the FDCPA.

Unauthorized Reporting to Consumer Reporting Agencies : According to 12 CFR 1006.34 ( d ) and 15 USC 1681s-2 ( a ) ( 7 ) ( A ), a collection agency must provide all necessary disclosures before furnishing any account information to consumer reporting agencies. DISCOVERBANK has furnished account information without complying with these legal requirements, constituting a clear violation of these statutes.

Requested Resolution I request that the CFPB take the following actions to address this issue : I am Requesting Debt Validation from DISCOVERBANK I am Requesting Purchase Agreement between DISCOVERBANK and the original creditor I am Requesting that DISCOVERBANK furnish proof that they are Licensed and Bonded Investigate the practices of DISCOVERBANK and enforce appropriate penalties for any violations of federal laws.

Require DISCOVERBANK to cease all collection activities on the disputed debt until they provide proper validation as required by law.

Ensure that DISCOVERBANK removes any and all information related to this alleged debt from my consumer report until the proper validation and disclosures are provided.

Prevent DISCOVERBANK from engaging in further communication with me through email/text/call.

Thank you for your attention to this matter. I look forward to your prompt response and resolution of this complaint.

I am writing to address some inconsistencies that I have identified in my personal credit report. These inaccuracies are having a significant impact on my financial standing, particularly in relation to my ability to own a home. While I understand that errors can occur, I have researched the dispute process and am aware of the required investigation time-frame of thirty days. The other bureaus have already removed this account from their records, following the submission of my FTC report citing the identification of an error. I am puzzled as to how this account was verified by your bureau while other bureaus have successfully removed them. Therefore, I request the immediate deletion of this account from my file as they are inaccurate, erroneous, incomplete, or unverifiable.

Complaint narrative:
I got a text from a number claiming it was Wells Fargo asking to verify a {$3400.00} transfer to a XXXX XXXX. I replied no. Then I got a call from a guy claiming he was from Wells Fargo and another fraud transaction was occurring. He transferred me to their " fraud Department. He claimed they got another transfer request for {$8200.00}. We talked for a bit and I never gave him any account info. At one point I asked for proof he worked for Wells Fargo, I asked if he could tell me my debit card number. He provided me with the first XXXX numbers. Soon after I began to feel suspicious because I could tell he was on a cell phone. But I wasn't sure if the breaking up was on my end. I never provided him with any personal info but I hung up and immediately called Wells Fargo fraud department. I kept asking for a fraud representative but it took awhile. During that time the fraudsters were able to complete a wire transfer for the {$8200.00} through XXXX. I told my rep that i didn't authorize it and didn't use XXXX ever or wire transfers. They took my info but have not heard back even though the recipient 's name and address and he used XXXX XXXX to complete the fraud. His name is XXXX XXXX and he lives in XXXX, Ga. I feel this is enough info to get my money back and prosecute. But nothing has been done. The money is out of my account. I even called XXXX XXXX to give them the information. But they just said thank you and had the info they needed from me. My understanding is there is a ton of fraud using XXXX. I need my money back.

Issue: Attempts to collect debt not owed — Debt is not yours
Company: Rent Recovery Solutions
State: KY

Complaint narrative:
In XX/XX/XXXX, I received correspondence from the company demanding payment for a debt I did not owe. In response, I promptly dispatched a Debt Validation Letter on XX/XX/XXXX, which they acknowledged receiving on XX/XX/XXXX. This letter meticulously outlined my request for specific documentation to validate the alleged debt, including details about the creditor, the alleged debtor, the agreement authorizing debt collection, and more. I made it explicitly clear that failure to provide this information within 30 days, devoid of errors, would necessitate the immediate removal of all references to the account from credit bureaus.

Subsequently, upon reviewing the documentation provided by the company, it became evident that the itemized bill lacked my name. Moreover, the lease agreement furnished by their office, dated from XX/XX/XXXX, to XX/XX/XXXX, did not align with my tenancy period. Analysis of the transaction history revealed an " Out of Lease '' charge only from XX/XX/XXXX, whereas my tenancy ceased in XXXX upon the lease 's expiration. Pursuant to legal regulations, any continuation of the lease beyond its term should have been documented with a specific charge, which was absent in the provided records. Thus, it appears another lease must have been executed after XX/XX/XXXX, until XX/XX/XXXX, without my involvement.

Following the demonstration of the debt 's invalidity, there was no communication from the company until XX/XX/XXXX, when they attempted to restart the collection process despite being aware of the debt 's invalidity. In response, I have engaged legal counsel to further substantiate my non-liability. In my previous correspondence, I explicitly instructed them to cease and desist all further attempts at collection.
