Company: ENCORE CAPITAL GROUP INC.
State: PA

Complaint narrative:
I have been fighting with multiple different debt collections company to try to get this resolved. It appears that every time I file a complain they sell the debt to a different collection agency. Currently on my credit report it is listed under both Midland Credit Collections and XXXX XXXX solutions. I do not owe this debt. From the information I received from XXXX XXXX ( yet another debt collection company I have tried to deal with ) the bill is from XXXX XXXX. The billing address they have associated with this debt is a XXXX XXXX XXXX, XXXX. I have lived my entire life in Pennsylvania and have never even been to Nevada. I have tried and failed repeatedly to get this taken care of. Instead now I have TWO collection accounts on my credit report for the same problem. I have sent copies of my driver 's license and a copy of my property tax through the CFPB website to prove that I am a XXXX  resident and more specifically a resident when the fraudulent bill was initially created.

Issue: Improper use of your report — Credit inquiries on your report that you don't recognize
Company: Nelnet, Inc.
State: MI

Complaint narrative:
I filed disputes with all three credit bureaus regarding the private student loans being reported by Firstmark Services. These loans were originally serviced by XXXX XXXX and then transferred, but I have never received proper verification of the new ownership. Despite this, all XXXX  bureaus marked the accounts as verified. 

However, XXXX has never provided me with documentation that proves they own or have the legal right to collect and report on these debts. I specifically asked for the chain of title, a copy of my signed promissory note, and evidence of the loan transfer or sale. I still have not received these documents. The only information they have shared is a basic account summary, which does not prove the legal validity of the debt. 

Under the Fair Credit Reporting Act, I have a right to dispute inaccurate or unverified information on my credit report. Under the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act, if Firstmark is acting as a debt collector, they are also required to provide full validation of the debt if requested. I believe my rights have been violated because Firstmark continues to report these loans to the credit bureaus without providing proper validation.

This is causing me financial harm and ongoing stress. I am requesting that the CFPB investigate this matter and ensure that Firstmark either provides full validation of the debt or removes the accounts from my credit reports.

Complaint narrative:
Experian has failed to grill its legal obligation under the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ) to conduct a reasonable reinvestigation of disputed information on number credit report, leaving inaccurate or unverifiable accounts unresolved. The CFPB has recent filed a lawsuit against Experian, 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 has neither corrected nor removed disputed items despite the evidence I have provided, causing ongoing harm to my credit standing. I am requesting immediate corrective action to remove or amend disputed accounts, as Experians inactions violates federal law and my rights as a consumer ACCORDING TO 605B THESE ACCOUNTS ARE NOT MINES SO PLEASE DELETE IN XXXX DAYS THANK YOU the accounts are XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX
