Product: Debt collection — I do not know
Issue: Written notification about debt — Didn't receive notice of right to dispute
Company: Kimball, Tirey & St. John LLP
State: MD

Complaint narrative:
I found a collection account on my credit report that I was never notified about and have no knowledge of. I was never contacted by the company by mail, phone, or email, and I was never given any notice of the debt or my right to dispute it. 

I dont recognize this debt and have no idea what it is related to. This is the first time Im seeing anything about it. I feel this was added to my credit report unfairly, without giving me a chance to verify or respond.

Im requesting that this be investigated and removed if it can not be properly validated.

Complaint narrative:
Subject : Request for Reopening of Dispute Closed without a Clear Response.

To : Portfolio Recovery Associates , LLC ( " PRA, LLC '' ) Dear Sir or Madam I am writing respectfully to express my concern regarding the closure of a previous dispute I filed. which was closed without a clear, adequate, or well-supported explanation.

Under the fair credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ), specifically section 623 and 1681i, I have the information reported on my credit file.

Furthermore, data furnishers are legally required to notify me in writing if they report negative information, such as charge-off within a reasonable timeframe.

In this case, a charge-off was reported on my credit report without any prior written notification sent to me, which is a violation of my rights under the FCRA. Additionally, I was not provided with any documentation or evidence to justify the reporting or the outcome of the investigation, which leaves this matter unresolved and unfairly damaging to my credit Therefore, I am formally requesting that the dispute be reopened or that the charge-off be removed from my credit file due to the lack of proper notification and verification. I also request a copy of all documentation that was used to support the decision to close the dispute. 

Thank you in advance for you attention to this matter. I respectfully ask for a timely and fair resolution in accordance with federal law ' sincerely, XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX account number : XXXX XXXX XXXX

Complaint narrative:
I am concerned about the validity and accuracy of your recent investigation of these accounts that are reporting on my credit report. Last month I requested an investigation because I felt the item was not being reported legally. Couple of days ago I received a letter stating that you have ceased investigation of my credit reports because, in your opinion, you believe that I have used a third party credit repair agency. Not only do I believe this to be a stall tactic on your part to grant you an additional XXXX  days to comply with my original request, but I believe it to be a blatant violation of the FCRA. 

I have attached a copy of my government issued ID as well as mail showing proof of address. So, there shouldnt be any confusion or stall tactics on your end. I have maintained a careful record of my communications with you for the purpose of filing a complaint with the FTC should you continue in your non-compliance.

Complaint narrative:
After filing a complaint against XXXX XXXX for refusing to accept my SSN from me or allow me to fix an unresolved background check issue that has prevented me from working with XXXX XXXX, XXXX contacted me and sent me a secure link to upload my SSN but only for my XXXX background check. 

This contradicts their original statements and shows they had the technical capacity to accept my documents all along yet withheld it until I involved the CFPB. 

This behavior demonstrates deceptive practices, possible collusion with XXXXXXXX XXXX internal policies, and an intentional obstruction of my right to dispute or resolve my consumer report. I am submitting this follow-up as formal documentation of unequal treatment and wrongful denial of work.

Complaint narrative:
XXXX XX/XX/XXXX they set up an escrow account and as of today XX/XX/XXXX I have not been notified. ..... Mortgage companies are required to comply with federal rules and must inform borrowers about the escrow advance. They can not set up an escrow advance without notifying the borrower. If a mortgage company does not inform you about an escrow advance, it may be a violation of federal law. Borrowers should be aware of their rights and seek clarification from their mortgage servicer if they have concerns about the escrow advance They did this XX/XX/XXXX and I still haven't been notified. On XX/XX/2025 I received the folllowing. Effective immediately, you will assume responsibility for the payment of your real estate taxes ; however, we will require written confirmation of those payments within 40 days after their due date each year. You will also be responsible for the payment of your homeowners insurance. You must provide proof of payment prior to the expiration date of your policy. Failure to comply with these requirements could result in the reinstatement of an escrow account. 
Since I am responsible for my mortgage and escrow they had no authority to do this. They illegally sent a payment a MONTH before the due date for my insurance premium payment and had no right to even be notified until XX/XX/XXXX. Now they are not accepting my bank receipt for my payment and are insisting I send them a check. 
I paid my own XXXX premium and here 's the receipt. Here 's my proof of payment.
