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. 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. ''

Complaint narrative:
This complaint serves as a formal follow-up to the complaint I submitted last month regarding the unauthorized and fraudulent use of my Social Security number and personal identifying information. This correspondence reiterates and reinforces my demand for the immediate removal of all accounts that were fraudulently opened in my name.

These accounts were not authorized, opened, or consented to by me and are not reflective of any legitimate financial activity. Their continued presence on my credit report is both inaccurate and damaging.

Legal Grounds for Immediate Deletion : Pursuant to the following federal laws and regulations, I demand the permanent deletion of all fraudulent data : 15 U.S. Code 1681c2 : I am exercising my right to request the removal of all information resulting from identity theft. You are obligated to comply with this request. 

12 CFR Part 1022, Subpart H : You are legally required to delete fraudulent information from my credit file within four ( 4 ) business days of receiving notice.

15 U.S. Code 1681a ( 2 ) ( B ) : Any credit transaction involving the unauthorized use of a Social Security number must be excluded from any consumer report.

15 U.S. Code 1692j : Misrepresenting a debt or furnishing deceptive forms is a direct violation of federal law.

Demand for Immediate Action : Let me be absolutely clear : These accounts are fraudulent. 

Your continued reporting of them is reckless and potentially unlawful. 

I demand that all fraudulent accounts and inquiries be deleted from my credit file immediately. 

Any collection efforts tied to these accounts must cease and desist without delay.

Issue: Problem with the payoff process at the end of the loan — 
Company: Affirm Holdings, Inc
State: WA

Complaint narrative:
I used Affirm.com to obtain a loan of {$1700.00}, for use of booking through XXXX. XXXX was able to charge their service fee of {$170.00} which was later returned due to the property manager, never being able to utilize the rest of the funds on the loan. Per Affirms policy, unused funds should reflect back into the account after 21 days. This did not occur. I called customer service who told me to wait a full 30 days and still nothing. I have submitted disputes on XX/XX/XXXX, XX/XX/XXXX XX/XX/XXXX and XX/XX/XXXX with no resolution no callback and no emails to follow up. This loan was originated XX/XX/XXXX and XXXX refund posted on XX/XX/XXXX. Affirm will not allow me to pause or hold on the loan and are still requiring me to pay the full amount of the loan even though no funds were utilized at this point and I have open complaints on the loan. Customer service has indicated that the loan is not officially finalized on their end but when they try to initiate, they receive an error. This needs to be corrected.

Company: TRANSUNION INTERMEDIATE HOLDINGS, INC.
State: GA

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:
I reviewed my credit report and noticed several inaccuracies. I sent a letter to EQUIFAX in XXXX to dispute these items. However, it has been more than 35 days, and I have not received a response from the credit bureau.

Under 15 U.S.C. 1681i ( a ) ( 1 ) ( A ), if a consumer disputes the accuracy or completeness of any information in their file, the credit reporting agency must, at no cost, conduct a reasonable investigation, verify the disputed information, and update the file or remove inaccurate items within 30 days of receiving the notice of dispute.

Issue: Attempts to collect debt not owed — Debt was paid
Company: CL Holdings LLC
State: NY

Complaint narrative:
Jefferson Capital Systems , LLC XXXX XXXX XXXXXXXX XXXX XXXX MN XXXXXXXX Dispute of Account Allegedly Purchased from XXXX XXXX  ( XXXX XXXX Ending in XXXX ) To Whom It May Concern, I am formally disputing the validity and reporting of the above-referenced account, which you claim to have purchased from XXXX XXXX XXXX . I was not notified of the sale or assignment of this debt, and I have not received any legal documentation verifying that Jefferson Capital Systems , LLC is the rightful owner of this account. 

Specifically, I have not been provided with an assignment of contract, bill of sale, or chain of title demonstrating your legal authority to collect or report this debt. Until such documentation is produced, I consider your reporting of this account to the credit bureaus to be inaccurate, unverifiable, and misleading. 

Furthermore, I have found inconsistent and conflicting information regarding this account across all three major credit reporting agencies. This includes discrepancies in the balance, ownership status, and date of first delinquency. These inconsistencies violate the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ), which mandates that all information reported to credit bureaus be accurate and verifiable. 

Therefore, I am requesting the following : 1. Immediate removal of this account from all credit reporting agencies unless and until you can provide full validation of the debt, including a copy of the original signed agreement, assignment documents, and a complete chain of title. 
2. A full accounting of the amount you claim is owed, and how it was calculated. 

If you are unable or unwilling to provide the above documentation within 30 days, I demand that this account be immediately deleted from all credit bureaus. Failure to comply will leave me no choice but to escalate the matter through legal channels for willful violation of the FCRA and FDCPA. 

Please note this is not a refusal to pay, but a request for validation made in good faith. All future correspondence regarding this matter should be in writing.

Finding unauthorized accounts, credit inquiries, and false personal information made or reported without my knowledge or agreement completely stunned and grieved me. I've tried to get clarification from the creditors, but they have blatantly refused to give it to me. I demand that the creditors act immediately and be transparent. The creditors must submit pertinent application materials, show proof of express authority for each query, and give comprehensive details about each account and inquiry, including dates, purposes, and the kinds of credit products involved. To see what I'm complaining about, please refer to the attached file!
