Complaint narrative:
On XX/XX/XXXX, I wrote to the below creditors requesting an investigation into items that I believed were fraud, inaccurate, and falsely reported. To this date I have not received a response. Not only do I believe this to be a stall tactic on their part to grant an additional 30 days to comply with my original request, but I believe it to be a blatant violation of 15 U.S. Code 1681 - Procedure in case of disputed accuracy.

Your credit reporting agency has been reporting inaccurate and incomplete account information to my credit file. I am distressed that these referenced inaccurate accounts are on my credit profile. Your reporting agency has failed to maintain reasonable procedures in your operations to assure maximum possible accuracy in the credit information they report and may be liable under 15 U.S.C. 1692g validation of debt. Also, in Fisher v. XXXX information Services LLC ( D. Ariz. 2018 ), your reporting agency may be liable for false reporting. Credit reporting laws ensure that bureaus report only 100 % accurate credit information.

While these third party collectors attempted to collect a debt that is not mine, they broke 15 U.S. Code 1692k - Civil liability. I am maintaining a careful record of my communications with your agency and the false reporting collectors for the purpose of filing a complaint to the FTCT the non-compliance continues. Like, Wenger v. Trans Union Corp., No. 95-6445 ( C.D.Cal. XXXX XXXX, XXXX ), the below false creditors will be liable for your willful non-compliance. Also, in Fisher v. XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX ( XXXX XXXX ), they may be liable for false reporting. 
Since this is my THIRD request, I will also be sending a copy of this letter to the Federal Trade Commission notifying them that I have signed receipts for letters sent to you and you have not complied with my request. I regret that I am being forced to take such action. As you are well aware, federal law requires you to respond within 30 days, yet you have failed to respond. Failure to comply with these federal regulations by credit reporting agencies are investigated by the Federal Trade Commission ( see 15 USC 41, et seq. ). I will be filing a complaint with the FTC should you continue in your non-compliance. I further remind you that, as in Wenger v. Trans Union Corp., No. 95-6445 ( C.D.Cal. XXXX XXXX, XXXX ), you may be liable for your willful non-compliance. I have requested that you provide proof of the alleged items. I request to be provided with specifically the original application, contract, note, or another instrument bearing my signature.

Complaint narrative:
I am writing to formally dispute the validity of the alleged debt associated with the above-mentioned account. I request that you provide the following information to validate the debt and your authority to collect it, as required by the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act ( FDCPA ) and XXXX XXXX state laws XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX and XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX  : Please provide evidence that XXXX XXXX  is licensed to collect debts in the state of XXXX XXXX  XXXX This should include a valid XXXX XXXX XXXXXXXX XXXX and a XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX 


XXXX of XXXX with XXXX XXXX : Please provide a copy of the contract or agreement between XXXX XXXX and the original creditor that grants them the legal rights or authority to collect on the alleged debt. This document should clearly show that you have the legal standing to pursue this debt collection FDCPA VIOLATION Communication with third parties : I am also concerned about your company 's communication practices, particularly with consumer reporting agencies such as XXXX, XXXX, and TransUnion. I have reason to believe that you may have communicated information about this alleged debt to these agencies without my prior consent or authorization, which would be a violation of the FDCPA. 

Failure to provide this information and continuing collection efforts without validation will compel me to take legal action to protect my rights under the FDCPA and XXXX XXXX consumer protection laws. 

Please respond to this dispute within XXXX days from the receipt of this letter. If you fail to provide the requested information within this timeframe, I will consider the debt invalid and will take appropriate actions to dispute and rectify this matter.

Midland credit was reporting this on my credit accounts. They did remove it after a previous complaint with the CFPB but they have now reopened the case on my credit reports as of XX/XX/2023. This is an XXXX tactic to prolong the collection. Not only by Midland but also by the XXXX that allowed a removed account to be reopened without notification by either. Midland credit is violating the FCRA 605 ( c ) which is a XXXX fine. They are also reporting a collection as an open account which is also a violation of the FCRA.
