Issue: Attempts to collect debt not owed — Debt is not yours
Company: T.S. Holdings
State: NJ

Complaint narrative:
I discovered a collection account on my credit report for an alleged debt owed to XXXX on XXXX, reported by a third-party debt collector. I have never rented from this property and do not owe them any money. 
On or about XX/XX/year>, I contacted XXXX on XXXX to dispute the collection and requested clarification. On XX/XX/year>, a representative from XXXX on XXXX confirmed in writing that they had spoken with their accounting team and would contact the collections department to have the fee removed. 
Despite this confirmation, the collection account was still sent to or maintained by the debt collector and appeared on my credit report. I received a collection notice showing a balance of approximately {$390.00}, including fees and interest, for a debt I do not recognize and never agreed to. 
I am disputing this account because the property management company acknowledged the fee should be removed, yet the collection activity and credit reporting continued. I am requesting that this inaccurate collection be corrected and removed from my credit report.

State: VA

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 theXXXX 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.

Company: EQUIFAX, INC.
State: TX

Complaint narrative:
A few days ago, I received a letter from you stating that you have ceased investigation of my credit reports because you claim I may have used a third-party credit repair agency. This assertion is irrelevant and unlawful. The Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ) does not permit a credit reporting agency to deny or delay a consumers dispute rights based on speculation about third-party involvement. Your refusal to investigate is nothing more than a stall tactic designed to improperly extend your compliance period, and it constitutes a direct violation of federal law. Despite my previous disputes, unverifiable accounts, inquiries and personal information is still reporting on my credit report causing ongoing harm, including lowered credit scores, denial of credit, and reputational damage. This conduct demonstrates willful noncompliance under 1681n, exposing the bureau to statutory and punitive damages.

Company: TRANSUNION INTERMEDIATE HOLDINGS, INC.
State: TX

Complaint narrative:
I am writing to formally dispute the recent response provided in regard to my complaint filed with the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau ( CFPB ) concerning the inaccurate reporting of a bankruptcy on my credit file. I have serious concerns about the validity of credit bureaus verification process and the credibility of the information allegedly used to substantiate this reporting. The CFPB response states that the disputed public record, labeled as Public Record - Federal - XXXX VERIFIED AS REPORTED, '' has been reviewed and verified. However, I have obtained clear, written confirmation from the relevant court XXXX BANKRUPTCY XXXX that they do not report or furnish bankruptcy proceedings information to credit reporting agencies. This official statement from the court raises serious questions about who, in fact, provided the information used in your " verification '' process. Furthermore, I contacted XXXX, a known third-party data provider, and they confirmed that they have no record of the bankruptcy account in question. This evidence contradicts any claim that the information was verified as reported. Given that : 1. 2. The court itself has stated it does not report information to credit bureaus. XXXX, a potential data source, has confirmed no record of the account. It is clear that TransUnion lacks a reliable and valid source to justify the continued reporting of this bankruptcy on my credit file. This failure in the verification process constitutes a direct violation of the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ) under Section 611, which requires that consumer reporting agencies conduct a reasonable investigation to ensure the accuracy of information included in consumer files.

Complaint narrative:
The company reported or attempted to collect on an account that was sold to another company. I was not notified properly, and the information being reported appears to be inaccurate. The account was sold, but it is still being reported on my credit report by the original creditor and/or the debt buyer. This has caused confusion and harm to my credit. 

I am requesting that the CFPB review this issue and ensure the company updates or removes the inaccurate information. The company should not report or collect on an account it no longer owns, and they must ensure accuracy under the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ) and Fair Debt Collection Practices Act ( FDCPA ).

Company: CITIBANK, N.A.
State: CA

Complaint narrative:
I am filing this complaint against Citibank regarding a disputed transaction with XXXX ( {$810.00}, Date : XX/XX/year> ). This was a duplicate booking that I attempted to cancel immediately, and no services were rendered.Despite my contacting Citibank XXXX separate times to dispute this, the bank failed to conduct a reasonable investigation. Specifically, Citibank never requested any supporting documentation or evidence from me before closing the case XXXX. 
I have definitive physical proof ( a receipt/folio ) that I stayed at a different hotel during the period of the disputed charge. Because Citibank never asked for this evidence, they relied solely on the merchant 's refusal to honor the credit. 
I am requesting a full reversal of the {$810.00} charge, as the service was never used and Citibank has failed its duty to review my evidence under the Fair Credit Billing Act.
