Company: AMERIS BANCORP
State: FL

Complaint narrative:
I sent a check for the total remaining balance, but they continued withdrawing the monthly payments, ultimately charging me twice for the same balance. In addition, the lease for this printer was for 48 months and it expired in XX/XX/XXXX. Now, starting again in XXXX, they are using that same lease document to resume monthly charges, which are once again being withdrawn from my account. I dont understand how the bank is allowing this, especially since the lease agreement clearly states a XXXX term, and that term has already ended. 
I have now requested that my bank provide a copy of the document presented by Balboa Capital to justify the new charges. It is ridiculousthey submitted the original lease agreement dated XX/XX/XXXX, which clearly states at the top that the lease term is 48 months. I no longer have that equipment in my office, and the lease ended almost four years ago.

Company: Spring Oaks Capital, LLC
State: VA

Complaint narrative:
I am disputing a tradeline on my credit report reported by Spring Oaks, which is allegedly connected to a debt originally from XXXXXXXX XXXX XXXX This tradeline contains numerous inaccuracies and violations of federal law : The account lists a Date Closed of XX/XX/XXXX, which is impossible since I was born on XX/XX/XXXX. This is a critical error and suggests negligent or false reporting. 
The account status is simultaneously marked as Open and Closed, which is both illogical and misleading.

This exact account was previously deleted from my credit report following dispute and failure to verify. Its reappearance without notice or documentation violates the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ) 1681i ( a ) ( 5 ) ( B ) ( ii ). 
I have not received any debt validation from Spring Oaks as required under the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act ( FDCPA 809 ). 
No documentation of legal assignment from XXXXXXXX XXXX to Spring Oaks has been provided. 

I sent formal written disputes to Equifax, TransUnion, and Experian including detailed letters, legal citations, and requests for validation and removal. The bureaus and data furnisher have not provided any corrected or verified documentation in response. 

This account must be removed as it violates the following federal laws : FCRA 1681e ( b ) Information must be accurate.

FCRA 1681i Consumers may dispute and require reinvestigation.

FCRA 1681s-2 ( b ) Data furnishers must correct or delete unverifiable or inaccurate information.

FDCPA 809 Requires written debt validation before continuing to report or collect. 

I am requesting full removal of this inaccurate and unverifiable Spring Oaks tradeline from all of my credit reports.

Company: EQUIFAX, INC.
State: NV

Complaint narrative:
I am writing to formally file a complaint regarding unauthorized accounts that persist on my credit report despite my repeated efforts to have them removed. These accounts are causing significant damage to my financial reputation and overall well-being. It is evident that the inclusion of these fraudulent items violates 15 USC 1681b regarding permissible purposes, as the credit bureaus have no legitimate reason to report them without my explicit consent. Please refer to the attached file detailing these items I am disputing. The Fair Credit Reporting Act ( 15 U.S. Code 1681 ) says ( 1 ) The banking system is dependent upon fair and accurate credit reporting. Inaccurate credit reports directly impair the efficiency of the banking system, and unfair credit reporting methods undermine the public confidence, which is essential to the continued functioning of the banking system. So whenever there is a violation under the FCRA, it impairs the efficiency of the banking system. This is a violation of my privacy with my consumer report, since I control what is listed and what is not. In the event that any accounts are reported without my written consent, that is considered identity theft.

Complaint narrative:
These entries remain unverified and questionable. Despite multiple attempts to have these inaccuracies properly investigated and resolved, no meaningful action has been taken. I have submitted all required documentation and followed up repeatedly, yet the errors persist. This ongoing lack of action has caused undue financial hardship and has significantly affected my well-being. The mental and emotional toll of dealing with these unresolved discrepancies has been overwhelming. 

Under the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ), I am entitled to a fair and accurate credit report, including the removal of unverifiable or incorrect information. I urge you to take immediate steps to verify and rectify these items, as failure to do so constitutes a violation of my rights under federal law.
