Complaint narrative:
I would like to follow up behind my frustration regarding the repeated attempts I have made to rectify the ongoing issue of late open account associated with my account. Despite my multiple efforts to resolve this matter, the problem remains unresolved, causing significant inconvenience and distress. I first noticed the late open account issue and since then, I have diligently contacted your company 's customer service department to bring this matter to your attention. During these interactions, I have provided all the necessary documentation and information requested, yet the issue persists, and no concrete action has been taken to correct it. The late open account issue has had a negative impact on my financial stability and credit score. I have faced undue stress and financial setbacks as a result of this unresolved problem, which should have been addressed promptly and efficiently. I am asking for your immediate assistance that this account should be corrected right away : XXXX XXXX XXXX : {$100000.00}.

Company: Portfolio Recovery Associates, LLC
State: NY

Complaint narrative:
Dear CFPB, I am writing to file a formal complaint against the following debt collection agency Portfolio Recovery for their improper debt collection practices and violation of my consumer rights under various laws and regulations. 

Portfolio Recovery Address : XXXX XXXXXXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX, NY XXXX Debt amount listed on consumer report : {$300.00} Date Opened : XX/XX/year> I have received a communication from Portfolio Recovery regarding an alleged debt. I believe this debt is not mine and the collection agencies have failed to follow appropriate legal and accounting standards in attempting to collect it. Specifically, I contend the following : Lack of Verification and Validation : The collection agency has not provided a copy of the original contract or agreement bearing my wet signature. I request the purchase order agreement from the original creditor. Under 12 CFR 1006.34 ( b ) ( 5 ) and 12 CFR 1006.34 ( c ) ( 4 ) ( i ), I am entitled to verification of the debt, including the name and address of the original creditor and documentation of the debt 's legitimacy. 

Violation of GAAP : The collection agency has not provided any verifiable financial information that adheres to Generally Accepted Accounting Principles ( GAAP ). Without proper documentation, their claims are not substantiated and fail to meet ethical accounting standards. 

Right to Face My Accuser : I am entitled to face my accuser. The debt collector has not provided any evidence that I was informed of the debt being sold, nor was I present during any related transactions. This lack of transparency violates my rights and raises serious concerns about the legitimacy of the debt. 

Unauthorized Reporting : The collection agency has no authority to furnish this alleged account to any consumer reporting agency without proper verification. The false reporting of this debt constitutes defamation of character. 

12 CFR 1006.34 ( b ) ( 5 ) : This regulation requires debt collectors to provide specific information regarding the debt, including the name and address of the original creditor.

12 CFR 1006.34 ( c ) ( 4 ) ( i ) : This regulation mandates that debt collectors provide a detailed statement of the debt, including documentation that supports their claim. 

Provision of Documentation : Provision of the original contract or agreement bearing my wet signature. If such documentation can not be provided, the debt claim should be considered invalid.

Product: Vehicle loan or lease — Lease
Issue: Repossession — Loan balance remaining after the vehicle is repossessed and sold
Company: Exeter Finance, LLC.
State: GA

Complaint narrative:
XX/XX/XXXX of 2021, after leasing the car for 3 months, I was involved in a not-at-fault car accident. I informed the police XXXX that I was leasing the vehicle and the lender and I were both listed on the police report. I was told on the scene by the police XXXX that the car was totaled and needed to be towed from the scene. 
XXXX weeks later, I called the at-fault drivers car insurance to get an update on things and they informed me that they would be going to look at the vehicle, with continued contact with them they still hadn't inspected the vehicle, they informed me they couldn't locate the vehicle. 
Around the XXXX of XXXX I went online to make my car payment, the website instructed me to call the lender instead. Upon calling they informed me that my car had been impounded due to the towing lot informing them of abandonment after 11 days on the lot. The tow lot did not call me, nor did the lending company call me to inquire if I had abandoned the vehicle. Even though, it had been brought in with the car that hit me, there was clear evidence of a car accident, and I was up to date on my payments. The at-fault insurance also looked into the notification of abandonment to the lending company and found no evidence of such notification. I was then told I wouldn't be able to get my car back without paying the impound fee on top of the car payment and that I had 3 days to pay that before it would be officially repossessed. 
I was not notified of the impounding before I called them in attempts to make my payment, even without a vehicle. I was given no other alternatives even though my car shouldn't have been impounded or repossessed in the first place. 
I proceeded to try and work with the insurance company and the body shop. XXXX of 2021, the body shop informed me that they would pay the impounding fee and transfer the bill along to the at-fault drivers insurance so that they could make an accurate account of damage and repair. The lending company then denied the paying of the impounding fee, saying that the car was set to be sold at auction at that point. 
After selling the car at auction, I was notified of owing a deficiency balance of {$3300.00}. They eventually sold my debt to a debt collector, now I am being sued for the remaining balance. Even though my car shouldn't have been repossessed in the first place, they would have still been receiving payments from me had I been able to get my car back.

If this issue is not resolved within the exact timeframe, I will have no choice but to seek legal counsel and report the matter to the appropriate regulatory bodies.

Company: TRANSUNION INTERMEDIATE HOLDINGS, INC.
State: FL

Complaint narrative:
My account with XXXXXXXX XXXX XXXXXXXX was never late! I have had exceptional payment history witH XXXX  XXXX and all payments were placed on Autopay. This late payment that is reporting is a result on a systematic error on their end processing my payment. 

This was clearly a billing error made my the company and is not a reflection of my payment experience which violates USC Code 1681eb. This error has caused severe hard to my reputation, my character, my mode of living and to my family! 

I demand the late payment reported to be removed. 

They are not in compliance with the following law. 15 USC 1666b and its requirements set the standards and the guidance for a creditor to treat a payment as late, yet they are reporting a payment as late and they did not comply with the law!

15 USC 1666b ( a ) Time to make payments A creditor may not treat a payment on a credit card account under an open end consumer credit plan as late for any purpose, unless the creditor has adopted reasonable procedures designed to ensure that each periodic statement including the information required by section 1637 ( b ) of this title is mailed or delivered to the consumer not later than 21 days before the payment due date. 

XXXXXXXX XXXX XXXXXXXX never sent the periodic statement along with the disclosures from section 1637 ( b ). 

I have requested proof that this information was mailed or delivered 21 days before the payment due date and this information was requested in good faith pursuant rule 1002 and It was never provided. 

This is unfair, illegal, fraudulent, and not equitable to me as a consumer! 

Delete the late payments from my consumer reports
