Subissue: Information belongs to someone else
Consumer Complaint: 1 ) These accounts, opened in XX/XX/XXXX and XX/XX/XXXX, commits itself to a pattern of fraud that took place within a specific period of time as is evidenced by all subsequent accounts. More specifically, a XX/XX/XXXX thru XX/XX/XXXX timeframe. 2 ) The address provided to and reported by XXXX XXXX is one that XXXX XXXX has never lived at, in a State in which he has never been a resident. We have provided signed documentation from the management company which proves this fact. ( Figure C ) 3 ) XXXX XXXX and XXXX XXXX failed to respond in any measure to the Cease and Desist notice registered with the Civil Court of XXXX County Iowa in XX/XX/XXXX, which demanded that the aforementioned company immediately cease identifying this account with our client. That document detailed the failure of XXXX XXXX and XXXX XXXX to comply with : The United States Fair Credit Reporting Act, 15 U.S.C. 1681, 611 The Fair Debt Collection Practices Act, 15 U.S.C.1692 4 ) This is the third account listed by a wireless company within the same time period. It is illogical that any legitimate account would have been opened with three wireless carriers by one individual in close succession unless illegal activity was involved. It is because of these facts, and the documentation including : a signed Fraud Affidavit, reports from two law enforcement agencies, a report from the Internal Revenue Service confirming our client as a fraud and identity theft victim ) provided which proves that this account was in no way a result of any application of our client, nor did he benefit from it in any way, that we ask that your organization immediately delete and/or block the reporting of this trade line.

Consumer Complaint: Got a letter stating i owed a cell bill. I contacted XXXX and notified them i did not own this phone and this was part of ID theft. A short time later I received yet another bill from XXXX. I contacted them yet again to let them know that this was a fraudulent account. They ( XXXX ) told me i would have to obtain a police report which I did. Detective XXXX XXXX from the XXXX TN Police Dept., sent XXXX the copy of the police report. Sometime after that the fraudulent account was handed over to a collection agency in my name and put on my credit report. I have been fighting this going on several years now with no resolution to this matter. 4 years later I am still actively trying to get this removed from my credit report.

Consumer Complaint: I had an auto loan through an auto finance company back in XXXX. In XXXX without my knowledge they sold my car loan to a debt collection agency. They also sent a company to try and repossess my vehicle, and they did and I was not even behind in payments. I had to pay {$60.00} to go get my vehicle back for the mistake they made. All of this with no paperwork and no proof that I owed this debt collecting company anything. I have been paying this company for four years now and called in XX/XX/XXXX to find out how much I owed and they said I still had to pay until end of XXXX. I in turn sent a letter notarized to them which they received on XX/XX/XXXX and they had 30 days to respond with any billing statements. I wanted an audit of my account. I have heard nothing from the debt collection agency since then. They keep transferring me to different departments and do not give me an answer. I have my paperwork from the original finance company and I was supposed to be done with my payments early this year. I would like to get the title to my vehicle as soon as I can. I am afraid this company will try and take more money from me. Please help me with this situation.
