Product: Debt collection — I do not know
Issue: Attempts to collect debt not owed — Debt is not yours
Company: TRANSUNION INTERMEDIATE HOLDINGS, INC.
State: TX

Complaint narrative:
I want to stress that I did not give written permission for these specific transactions to be included in my consumer report. At no point did I authorize these entries, and their presence on my report is unwarranted. Consequently, I am formally requesting that these accounts be blocked and removed from my report immediately. It is important to clarify that this request is not due to any error or negligence on my part. There has been no oversight or misunderstanding on my end. Instead, this issue arises solely from the fact that I did not explicitly authorize the inclusion of these transactions in my report. I am diligent about maintaining the accuracy and privacy of my financial records, and these unauthorized entries compromise that integrity. I trust that you will handle this matter with the urgency and seriousness it deserves. Please confirm the removal of these transactions from my report as soon as possible. Thank you for your prompt attention to this issue.

Company: EQUIFAX, INC.
State: LA

Complaint narrative:
Experian and Equifax has failed to fulfill its legal obligation under the Fair Credit R Act ( FCRA ) to conduct a reasonable reinvestigation of disputed information credit report, leaving inaccurate or unverifiable accounts unresolved. The Consumer Financial Protection Bureau ( CFPB ) has recently filed a lawsuit against Experian and Equifax, alleging systemic issues such as failing to forward consumer-provided evidence to furnishers, accepting unreliable responses, and failing to adequately notify consumers of dispute outcomes. These failures align with my experience, where Experian and Equifax has neither corrected nor removed disputed items despite the evidence I provided, causing ongoing harm to my credit standing. I am requesting immediate corrective action to remove or amend the disputed accounts, as Experian and Equifax inaction violates federal law and my rights as a consumer.

Product: Debt collection — Medical debt
Issue: Written notification about debt — Didn't receive enough information to verify debt
Company: TekCollect Inc.
State: NV

Complaint narrative:
On XX/XX/year>, I noticed a collection account from TekCollect appear on my credit report. TekCollect states the account was opened on XX/XX/year>. With a balance of {$1100.00} I never received any written notice or validation letter from TekCollect regarding this debt at my current address, and I had moved from the previously listed address before any collection attempts were allegedly made.

On a recent call with TekCollect, I attempted to clarify and resolve this issue. During this call, TekCollect verbally insisted I agree to pay the debt in full to remove the collection from my credit report. However, before the terms could be fully clarified and agreed upon, my phone line disconnected unexpectedly, and no formal, complete verbal agreement was reached.

When I subsequently requested TekCollect provide written confirmation detailing the terms of our conversation, including the condition to remove the debt from my credit report upon payment, they explicitly refused, stating they could not provide written documentation.

I believe TekCollect 's actions have violated my rights under the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act ( FDCPA ), specifically regarding their failure to provide proper written validation of the debt, failure to properly confirm terms in writing, and their attempt to enforce an incomplete verbal agreement.

Company: EQUIFAX, INC.
State: SC

Complaint narrative:
I am formally disputing several inaccuracies currently appearing on my credit report, specifically unauthorized and inaccurate accounts and credit inquiries that I did not initiate or approve. These entries represent a violation of the Fair Credit Reporting Act, particularly 15 U.S. Code 1681i, which requires a proper reinvestigation of disputed items, and 1681e ( b ), which mandates that information reported must be accurate to the maximum extent possible. In addition, I am disputing a potentially misreported late payment. According to 15 U.S.C. 1666b, creditors must allow at least 21 days between the statement date and the payment due date before classifying a payment as late. Based on my records, this standard may not have been met, or the payment was submitted on time and inaccurately reported as delinquent.

Company: Tate and Kirlin Assoc
State: FL

Complaint narrative:
I submitted a written debt validation request to XXXX XXXX XXXX on XX/XX/year>, regarding an alleged debt. After receiving no response, I followed up with a second formal dispute letter on XX/XX/year>. 

XXXX XXXX never provided any documentation, proof, or validation of the alleged debt in response to either letter. 

Instead of fulfilling their obligation under the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act ( FDCPA ), XXXX XXXX authorized a third-party agency Tate & Kirlin Associates , Inc. to pursue collection. I received a collection notice from Tate & Kirlin dated XX/XX/year>. This violates 15 U.S.C. 1692g ( b ), which requires all collection activity to stop until the debt is validated.

Additionally, this debt is still being reported to the credit bureaus by XXXX XXXX. Reporting a debt that is actively disputed and unvalidated is a violation of the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ), 15 U.S.C. 1681s-2.

I have documentation of both of my validation requests and a copy of the collection letter from Tate & Kirlin.
