Consumer complaint received 2025-06-18 00:00:00
Product: Debt collection — Auto debt
Issue: Attempts to collect debt not owed — Debt was result of identity theft
Company: Westlake Services, LLC
State: TN

Complaint narrative:
XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX, TN XXXX XXXX XX/XX/year>2025 To : Westlake Portfolio Management ATTN : Office of the CEO XXXX XXXX XXXX, XXXX XXXXXXXX XXXX XXXXXXXX, CA XXXX RE : Dispute of Debt Ownership - Account Not Originated with Your Company To Whom It May Concern, I am writing to formally dispute the debt your company is attempting to collect in connection with an alleged XXXX XXXX ( or other loan ). This account does not originate from your company, and I do not acknowledge any business relationship or legal obligation to repay a debt to Westlake Portfolio Management.

Under the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act ( 15 U.S.C. 1692g ), I am requesting that you provide documentation that proves this debt has been legally assigned or transferred to your company for collection. Specifically : 1. The original creditor 's name and full chain of ownership ; 2. A full itemization of the amount allegedly owed ( principal, interest, fees, etc. ) ; 3. A copy of the original loan agreement or promissory note bearing my signature ; 4. Documentation showing your company has legal authority to collect this debt.

Furthermore, under the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( 15 U.S.C. 1681s-2 ), you are required to report only accurate and verifiable information to credit reporting agencies. Reporting a debt without clear origin or legal transfer violates both my rights under the FCRA and my right to due process.

I also assert my right under FCRA Section 1681c-2 to block the reporting of any fraudulent, inaccurate, or unverifiable information on my credit report, particularly if this debt is the result of identity theft or improper assignment.

Until you provide evidence of legal authority and complete documentation regarding this account, you must cease all collection activities and stop reporting this account to any credit bureaus.

Continued collection efforts without legal proof of assignment constitute a violation of federal law and may result in legal action.

Please respond in writing within 30 days, as required by the FDCPA. 
Sincerely, XXXX XXXX

Complaint narrative:
After receiving a email from Equifax notifying me that my personal information has been in a data breach. I discovered negative and unauthorized information on my credit report, I suspected identity theft and immediately contacted Experian, Equifax and TransUnion to dispute the items in question. I provided the necessary documentation to support my claim, explaining that these debts were not incurred by me and were a result of fraudulent activity linked to the Equifax breach. Despite my efforts, Experian, Transunion and Equifax denied my case, asserting that the information had been " verified '' and leaving the fraudulent entries on my credit report. This denial has caused significant distress, which have negatively affected my financial stability and mental well-being, as these negative marks are damaging my credit and financial standing. Specifically, I have faced multiple instances of being denied services, including credit applications and other essential opportunities. I believe that Experian, Transunion and Equifax has not fully investigated the potential identity theft tied to the Equitax breach and I am seeking further assistance to correct the errors on my report. I remain committed to resolving this matter and protecting my tinancial well-being.
