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.

Complaint narrative:
I am writing to formally dispute the collection account that Midlands Credit- 2 accounts are reporting to the credit bureaus regarding an alleged debt from a leasing company, XXXX XXXX XXXX Upon recently reviewing my credit reports for the intention of purchasing a home, I was shocked to find this collection listed. I have no knowledge or record of ever holding an account with this company, nor have I received any prior communication from your officeincluding but not limited to a phone call, text message, email, or the XXXX notice required by the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act ( FDCPA ). This lack of notification raises serious concerns regarding the legitimacy, accuracy, and ownership of this alleged debt. This erroneous reporting has caused me significant harm, including difficulty obtaining credit and jeopardizing my pending home loan application. Given that I have not received any required notice or verification as outlined under 15 U.S.C. 1692g, this collection account appears to be in violation of federal law.

Company: Lloyd & McDaniel, PLC
State: GA

Complaint narrative:
Lloyd & McDaniel, PLC- sometimes acting as a law firm, sometimes acting as a debt collection agency- has obtained and used my personal information to attempt collection on an account for which they have no contractual interest, no legal standing, and no right to access my personal information. This constitutes identity theft under federal and state law ( 15 U.S.C. 1692g ( b ) ( FDCPA ) ).

They have repeatedly accessed my personal identifying information and initiated legal action without any proof of a valid debt, contract, or authorization from me. I have sent four debt validation requests ( including a certified letter with a sworn affidavit and violations invoice ), all of which have been ignored ( 15 U.S.C. 1692c ( c ) ) but they relentlessly continue to pursue for financial gain through frivolous means. 
The alleged original creditor, XXXX  XXXX, has formally stated in response to a federal Consumer Financial Protection Bureau ( CFPB ) complaint ( XXXX ), that they do not recognize me as a customer, making Lloyd & McDaniels false representation and continued collection attempts knowingly fabricated and willfully fraudulent. Despite this, they filed a frivolous, baseless, unsupported court case, using my identity as the foundation of their filings with no evidentiary support whatsoever. 
Their actions have caused XXXX XXXX  financial expense, and unnecessary use of court resources, showing a clear disrespect for the legal system. I have incurred costs and losses that I would never have endured but for their continued unlawful conduct and pursuit for nearly a year now. 
I am reporting this as identity theft because Lloyd & McDaniel , PLC has knowingly used my personal identity and financial information without any lawful basis, contract, or authorization, in a relentless and unlawful attempt to secure financial gain. 

See XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX, XXXX XXXX XXXX, XXXX ( XXXX XXXX. 2019 ) for further legal reference.
