Subject : Request for Debt Validation - XXXX XXXX, Account Number XXXX Dear CFPB, I am writing to file a formal complaint regarding a debt reported on my credit report by TransUnion. The account in question is with XXXX XXXX, and I am requesting that this matter be investigated for proper debt validation. 

The details of the account in question are : Collection Agency : XXXXXXXX XXXX  Account Number : XXXX Amount : {$740.00} I am disputing this collection and requesting validation of the debt. As per the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act ( FDCPA ), I request that TransUnion provide the following : Proof of the debt, including a copy of the original agreement or contract showing that I am responsible for this debt.

Verification of the total amount of {$740.00}, including any interest, fees, or charges that have been added. 
Documentation showing that XXXX XXXX has the legal right to collect this debt, including evidence of assignment or purchase. 
Proof of notification, showing that I was properly notified of the debt before it was reported to TransUnion. 
Until this debt is properly validated, I am requesting that TransUnion suspend reporting this debt on my credit report. If XXXX XXXX can not provide proper validation, I request that this collection be removed from my report entirely. 

I respectfully request that the CFPB investigate this matter, ensuring that TransUnion follows the required steps under the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ). I look forward to a timely response and resolution within the legally mandated time frame. 

Thank you for your attention to this issue. 

Sincerely, XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX

Company: Portfolio Recovery Associates, LLC
State: NJ

Complaint narrative:
I am writing this complaint against Portfolio Recovery for reporting an alleged collection account on my consumer credit report without my permission, knowledge, or proper verification. I have never conducted business with Portfolio Recovery and deny any obligation to this alleged debt. 

Portfolio Recovery is in violation of the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act ( FDCPA ) and the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ) by reporting unverified and potentially inaccurate information to the credit bureaus. They have not provided proof that I owe this debt or that they have the legal right to collect or report it. 

I demand immediate removal of this account from my credit profile unless Portfolio Recovery can provide valid documentation proving my contractual obligation to this debt. Their failure to do so constitutes a violation of my consumer rights under federal law. 

I have attached a formal dispute letter for further reference. Please investigate this matter promptly.

Company: CL Holdings LLC
State: FL

Complaint narrative:
I am submitting this statement to formally request an investigation into the debt reported by XXXX XXXX XXXX and Jefferson Capitol System, which I believe has been illegally reported under the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ). On XX/XX/year>, I contacted XXXX XXXX XXXX and Jefferson Capitol System to request the original purchase agreement for the debt they claim to have acquired. I was informed that they do not possess such a document.

According to the FCRA, specifically 15 U.S.C. 1681s-2, furnishers of information have a legal obligation to ensure the accuracy and validity of the information they provide to credit reporting agencies. The inability of RADIUS GLOBAL SOLUTIONS and Jefferson Capitol System to produce the original purchase agreement demonstrates that they can not verify the legitimacy of the debt. This failure not only undermines the credibility of their claim but also violates federal law, as unverified or inaccurate information must not be reported or maintained in a credit file.

Company: Experian Information Solutions Inc.
State: FL

Complaint narrative:
I am filing this complaint against Experian for its repeated failure to comply with the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ) 168i ( 15 U.S.C. 1681i ), which requires consumer reporting agencies to properly investigate disputes and provide verification of disputed information. Despite multiple disputes, Experian continues to report inaccurate and unverifiable negative items on my credit report without providing the proof of investigation as required by law.

Violations by Experian : 1. Failure to Conduct a Proper Reinvestigation ( 1681i ( a ) ( 1 ) ( A ) ) I have disputed multiple accounts that I believe are inaccurate, yet Experian continues to claim they are verified without providing any actual proof of verification ( such as original creditor documentation ). 
Experian has not conducted a reasonable investigation nor provided substantive responses to my requests.

2. Failure to Provide Proof of Verification ( 1681i ( a ) ( 6 ) ( B ) ( iii ) ) Under FCRA, when an account is verified, the credit bureau must provide me with the name, address, and proof of verification from the furnisher of the information.

Experian has failed to provide any such documentation to support its claim that these disputed items are valid.

3. Failure to Delete Unverified Information ( 1681i ( a ) ( 5 ) ( A ) ) If a disputed item can not be verified, it must be deleted from my credit report.

Experian has repeatedly reported these items as verified without valid proof, violating this requirement.

4. Failure to Provide Consumer Statement of Dispute ( 1681i ( b ) ) I have requested that a statement of dispute be added to these items if Experian insists on keeping them. Experian has failed to do so.
