Product: Debt collection — I do not know
Issue: Attempts to collect debt not owed — Debt was paid
Company: Continental Services Group, Inc. d/b/a ConServe
State: FL

Complaint narrative:
Subject : Complaint Against Conserve - Illegal Collection Practices Dear Consumer Financial Protection Bureau, I am writing to bring to your attention a concerning issue regarding the debt collector agency, Conserve. I have experienced what I believe to be illegal collection practices and wish to file a complaint with your organization to seek justice and resolution. 

Conserve initiated collection efforts against me for a debt that I firmly believe to be inaccurate and unsubstantiated. Despite my repeated attempts to request validation and proof of this debt, Conserve has failed to provide any supporting documentation. Furthermore, they have continued their aggressive collection tactics, including harassment and intimidation, in clear violation of my rights as a consumer. 

I kindly request that the CFPB conduct a thorough investigation into the activities and practices of Conserve, as these actions are in direct violation of the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act ( FDCPA ) and other applicable consumer protection laws. 

Specifically, I have experienced the following illegal collection practices by Conserve : 1. Failure to provide validation of the debt : Despite my written requests for verification, Conserve has consistently failed to provide any supporting documentation or proof of the alleged debt. 

2. Harassment and intimidation : Conserve 's agents have repeatedly engaged in harassing phone calls, using aggressive language, and making false threats of legal actions against me. These actions are explicitly prohibited under the FDCPA. 

3. Inaccurate reporting to credit bureaus : Conserve has irresponsibly reported the disputed debt to credit bureaus without conducting a proper investigation or validating the accuracy of the debt. This has caused significant damage to my creditworthiness and overall financial well-being. 

I urge the CFPB to take immediate action against Conserve to put an end to these illegal collection practices and to protect other consumers who may be similarly affected. I request that appropriate penalties and sanctions be imposed to hold Conserve accountable for their actions. 

Thank you for your attention to this matter. I trust that the CFPB will take swift action in investigating this complaint and ensuring that justice is served. I look forward to receiving updates on the progress made and the resolution of this.

Company: Experian Information Solutions Inc.
State: TX

Complaint narrative:
I have recently identified an issue with my credit report that indicates a 30-day late payment from XXXX XXXX  XXXX However, after speaking with a supervisor on the phone at the bank on XX/XX/2023, I was told that XXXX Bank only reports 60-day late payments and not 30-day late ones so I don't know how this was even possible. I have always made sure to pay my dues on time and have never been late by 60 days on any of my payments. The supervisor recognized the error from their end and reassured me that this incorrect information should be removed from my credit report. To substantiate this, XXXX will be sending me my statements from XXXX, XXXX, and XXXXXXXX XXXX XXXX, which will illustrate my prompt payment history. I kindly request that this erroneous information be removed from my credit report and updated accurately at the earliest.

Company: CAPITAL ONE FINANCIAL CORPORATION
State: MA

Complaint narrative:
Dear CFPB, I hope this message finds you well. I am writing to bring to your attention a discrepancy I have noticed in my credit report following a recent credit card application with Capital One Bank on XX/XX/2023. 

Upon applying for a credit card with Capital One, I was surprised to find that the subsequent rejection had a significant impact on my credit history, as indicated by the notification I received from XXXX stating that there is a high risk on my credit report. 

I carefully reviewed the terms and conditions provided by Capital One during the application process, and nowhere was it explicitly mentioned that the application itself would have an immediate and substantial impact on my credit history. I understand that credit inquiries may have an effect, but the magnitude of this impact was unexpected and seems disproportionate to the nature of the application.

Lastly, Transunion says this account is a " Variety Store '' while XXXX says it's a " Credit Card ''. This account needs to be removed immediately, it's placement on my consumer report has caused grave damages.
