I was utterly shocked and devastated upon discovering unauthorized credit inquiries and inaccurate personal information made without my knowledge or consent. Despite my efforts to seek clarification from the creditors, they have shamefully failed to provide the necessary information. I demand immediate action and transparency from the creditors. The creditors must provide detailed information on each inquiry, including dates, purposes, and types of credit products involved, furnish relevant application documents, and present evidence of explicit authorization for each inquiry. Please see the attached file for what I am complaining about!

Complaint narrative:
XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX TX XXXX Pocollect XXXX, TX XXXX Subject : Cease and Desist Unauthorized and Unverified Debt Collection Activities Dear Pocollect, I am writing to formally request that you immediately cease all collection activities related to an alleged debt you claim I owe. It has come to my attention that your company has reported this debt to my credit report without providing me the legally mandated opportunity to verify or dispute the debt as required by the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act ( FDCPA ), 15 U.S.C. 1692g. 

Your actions violate my rights under the FDCPA, which explicitly requires that a consumer be given notice of their rights to dispute a debt within 30 days of being contacted. Additionally, I have discovered that your company is not registered with the XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX ( XXXX ) to engage in debt collection activities in the state of Texas. As such, your actions appear to violate Texas Finance Code 392.101, which mandates that third-party debt collectors be properly bonded and registered to collect in this state. 

Given these issues, I demand the following : Immediate cessation of all collection activities, including but not limited to communication with me, reporting to credit bureaus, or taking any legal or extralegal actions. 
Removal of all references to this alleged debt from my credit reports with all major credit bureaus ( XXXX, XXXX, and XXXX ). 
Written confirmation that no further attempts to collect this alleged debt will be made unless proper verification is provided in compliance with both federal and Texas law. 
Failure to comply with this request will leave me no choice but to file a complaint with the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau ( CFPB ), the Texas Office of the Attorney General, and other appropriate regulatory bodies. Additionally, I reserve the right to pursue legal remedies for violations of my rights under applicable laws, which may include seeking damages, legal fees, and other costs. 

This letter serves as your formal notice. Please direct all correspondence regarding this matter to me in writing at the address listed above. Any further attempts to contact me by phone, email, or other means will be considered harassment and a violation of the FDCPA. 

Thank you for your immediate attention to this matter. 

Sincerely, XXXX XXXX

Issue: Incorrect information on your report — Account information incorrect
Company: EQUIFAX, INC.
State: FL

Complaint narrative:
" 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 TILA US Code 1666B since I was never late. 

I recently reviewed my consumer report and noticed an incorrect late payment record on my XXXX XXXX  account [ XXXX ]. I have always maintained timely payments on this account. Under the Fair Credit Billing Act ( FCBA ) and the Truth in Lending Act ( TILA ), creditors are required to accurately report consumer transactions and provide a mechanism for correcting errors in a timely manner. Please conduct an investigation into this matter, and if you can not provide documentary evidence of these supposed late payments, I demand these payments to be updated to on time as they should be as I was NEVER late. I expect these updates to be made promptly, in compliance with the law.

Company: TRANSUNION INTERMEDIATE HOLDINGS, INC.
State: FL

Complaint narrative:
I am submitting this complaint regarding inaccurate late payments that are reported on my credit file maintained by Transunion I believe these late payments are erroneous and do not accurately reflect my payment history. 

Nature of the Complaint : 1. Inaccurate Reporting : The late payments listed on my credit report are inaccurate. I have consistently made my payments on time, as I have been enrolled in autopay for all my accounts. 
2. Violation of the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ) : The inaccurate reporting of these late payments violates my rights under the FCRA ( 15 USC 1666 ( b ) ), as they misrepresent my creditworthiness. 
3. Potential Violation of Fair Debt Collections Practices Act ( FDCPA ) : The reporting of false late payments may also constitute a violation of the FDCPA, which protects consumers from misrepresentation regarding their accounts. 
4. Truth in Lending Act ( TILA ) : I assert that the reporting practices violate the TILA, which mandates accurate reporting of credit information. 
Additionally, the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ), specifically sections 15 U.S. Code 1681i and 15 U.S. Code 1681s-2, mandates that credit reporting agencies and information furnishers correct any inaccurate or incomplete information in credit reports and ensure the maximum accuracy of information contained in consumer files. 
Furthermore, under the FCRA, articles 616 and 617 ( 15 U.S.C. 1681n and 1681o ) outline the civil liability for willful and negligent noncompliance, respectively. These provisions provide for damages, including actual damages, attorneys fees, and possible punitive damages, for failure to comply with the Act 's requirements.
