XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX, XXXX XXXX XXXX, CA XXXX ( XXXX ) XXXX XXXX Date : [ Insert Todays Date ] Consumer Financial Protection Bureau XXXX. XXXX XXXX Washington, XXXX XXXX Subject : XXXX XXXX National Credit Adjusters , LLC for FDCPA Violation ( No Response to Debt Validation Request ) To Whom It XXXX Concern, I am filing a formal complaint against National Credit Adjusters , LLC, located at XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX, XXXX, KS XXXX, for violating my rights under the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act ( FDCPA ) and the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ). 

On XX/XX/year> I sent a certified letter requesting validation of an alleged debt they claim I owe, pursuant to my rights under 15 U.S.C. 1692g. I provided my full contact information and requested verification of the debt, a copy of the original contract, and proof of their legal ability to collect in California. 

As of today, it has been more than XXXX XXXX, and I have received no response or documentation from National Credit Adjusters. According to the FDCPA, they must cease all collection activity until proper validation is provided. Continuing to attempt to collect, report, or verify an unvalidated debt is a violation of federal law. 

This behavior is unfair and deceptive, and I am requesting that the CFPB investigate and take action to ensure this debt collector complies with federal law. 

I have attached a copy of my original debt validation letter and proof of delivery via certified mail. 

Thank you for your time and assistance. 

Sincerely, XXXX XXXX

Complaint narrative:
These entries remain unverified and questionable. Despite multiple attempts to have these inaccuracies properly investigated and resolved, no meaningful action has been taken. I have submitted all required documentation and followed up repeatedly, yet the errors persist. This ongoing lack of action has caused undue financial hardship and has significantly affected my well-being. The mental and emotional toll of dealing with these unresolved discrepancies has been overwhelming. 
Under the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ), I am entitled to a fair and accurate credit report, including the removal of unverifiable or incorrect information. I urge you to take immediate steps to verify and rectify these items, as failure to do so constitutes a violation of my rights under federal law.

Company: MoneyLion Inc.
State: AL

Complaint narrative:
An account was fraudulently opened with money lion using my social security number, they have a email that does not match mines and a phone number listed that does not match mines. They refuse to cooperate refuse to remove the fraudulent account refuse to give me any information that would help me getting a police report filed. Im not even sure if they have a loan active under my social because they refuse to give me any information. I have been promised multiple times that they would have someone call me back because apparently the regular representatives cant do anything. They marked the account as suspicious and thats it, I was in a financial bind and was referred by a 3rd party to apply with them, it allowed me to create an account but when got to the portion of requesting funds and needed to input information it said that my social security number was already in use. I reached out over a year ago, I have sent in copy of my I.d, passport and even my social security card through their help email and these people keep allowing this fraudulent account to be open, stating that they need to verify the fraudulent account. Im not sure what kind of verifying they are going to do when this person clearly wouldnt be able to provide any of the legitimate documentation that I have.

Complaint narrative:
On or about XXXX I discovered that TeleCheck is reporting a returned check dated XX/XX/year>, in the amount of {$3400.00} under my name. I did not write or authorize this check, nor do I have any relationship with the company that reported this debt. 

I contacted TeleCheck and submitted a formal dispute requesting a full investigation and validation of this alleged debt, including documentation proving that I am responsible for the transaction. I also requested that TeleCheck block this item from my consumer report due to identity theft. 

To date, TeleCheck has not responded or provided the requested information, nor have they removed or blocked the disputed item from my credit report. This inaccurate reporting is causing harm to my credit and violates the Fair Credit Reporting Act. 

I am requesting that TeleCheck complete a thorough investigation, remove this fraudulent and inaccurate information, and confirm in writing that my file has been corrected.

Company: Experian Information Solutions Inc.

Complaint narrative:
I am updating a late payment that is currently being reported on my credit report as " open '' or unresolved. This entry is inaccurate and misleading. I have either already resolved the payment, or I was never late as claimed. The continued reporting of this item as open and delinquent is a violation of the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ), particularly 15 U.S.C. 1681e ( b ), which requires consumer reporting agencies to maintain maximum possible accuracy of the information they report.

This misreporting has negatively impacted my credit score and may hinder my ability to obtain credit or employment. I am requesting an immediate investigation into this matter, as well as a correction or deletion of the inaccurate late payment record if it can not be verified.

Company: Experian Information Solutions Inc.
State: CA

Complaint narrative:
This is my third formal complaint against Experian for failing to comply with the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ) 605B ( 15 U.S.C. 1681c-2 ) in connection with fraudulent accounts resulting from identity theft. Previously, I submitted a complete FTC Identity Theft Report, along with proof of identity and all required supporting documentation in full compliance with FCRA 605B. However, Experian refused to block the fraudulent accounts and responded with a letter denying my request, despite my full legal compliance. 
The accounts in question are : XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXXXXXX. I did not open or authorize these accounts. They are the result of identity theft and are not mine. Although these accounts are not currently listed on my Experian credit file, I am deeply concerned that they may be reinserted in the futureespecially considering Experian 's prior refusal to block them. This refusal is a violation of FCRA 605B, which requires action within 4 business days of receiving proper identity theft documentation. I am formally requesting : Immediate confirmation that these accounts will be permanently blocked from my credit file. A formal written explanation as to why the FTC Identity Theft Report was denied. Written assurance that these accounts will not be reinserted into my credit report in the future. 
Attached to this complaint : A copy of police report Valid government-issued photo ID Proof of current address.

I urge Experian to take immediate action to ensure full compliance with federal law.
