Subissue: Account information incorrect
Consumer Complaint: XXXX XXXX XXXX ( Original Creditor : XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX. ) XXXX. I am writing to dispute the account referenced above. I have disputed this account information as inaccurate with you, and you have come back to me and stated you were able to verify this debt. How is this possible? Under the laws of the FDCPA, I have contacted the collection agency myself and have been unable to get them to verify that this is indeed my debt. I enclose copies of the account with the original creditor which show 2 completely different balances. Furthermore, the original creditor stated that the account was sold to the XXXX XXXX. This debt you are claiming on my credit report is not mine and I was given no evidence of my obligation to pay this debt to this collection agency named XXXX. The FCRA requires you to verify the validity of the item within 30 days in which you failed. If the validity can not be verified, you are obligated by law to remove the item. There is a clear case of unverified debt here, and I urge you to remove this item before I am forced to take legal action. In the event that you can not verify the item pursuant to the FCRA, and you continue to list the disputed item on my credit report, I will find it necessary to sue you for actual damages and declaratory relief under the FCRA. According to this regulation, I may sue you in any qualified state or federal court, including small claims court in my area. While I prefer not to litigate, I will use the courts as needed to enforce my rights under then FCRA. I look forward to an uneventful resolution of this matter.

Consumer Complaint: Violation of FCRA 611, Debt Collection Harassment, and Sharing of Information with XXXX XXXX Contrary to 15 U.S.C. Sections 1692d, 1692i, and 1692c Dear Equifax Information Services, I am writing to address a matter of significant concern regarding the accounts that I have reported as fraudulent to the Federal Trade Commission ( FTC ) and subsequently requested investigation under FCRA 611 ( 15 U.S.C. 1681I ). It has come to my attention that there are discrepancies in the handling of these accounts, which directly violate the rights guaranteed under this section of the Fair Credit Reporting Act. Not only has there been a failure to comply with FCRA 611 in rectifying these accounts, but I have also noted the absence of any proof of verified accounts in the documentation provided. The utilization of the e-OSCAR system, without providing tangible evidence or verification of the reported accounts, raises further concerns regarding the legitimacy and accuracy of the reported information. Additionally, I am deeply troubled by the actions of debt collectors associated with XXXX XXXX, who have been incessantly contacting me using my current information, amounting to approximately 15 calls daily. This relentless and harassing behavior violates the protections afforded to consumers under 15 U.S.C. Sections 1692d, 1692i, and 1692c of the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act ( FDCPA ). Moreover, it has come to my attention that the information shared through credit bureaus like Equifax has potentially facilitated this harassment by providing my current contact details to debt collectors. Such sharing of inaccurate or unverified information with XXXX XXXX, leading to their persistent and unwarranted contacts, is in direct contradiction to the requirements outlined in 15 U.S.C. Section 1681, which mandates accurate reporting by credit bureaus to prevent the dissemination of misleading or false data to debt collectors. As per FCRA guidelines and the FDCPA, I am formally requesting : Immediate rectification and removal of the reported fraudulent accounts. Tangible proof or verification of these accounts within five ( 5 ) days of your receipt of this correspondence. Cease and desist of any sharing of inaccurate or unverified information with XXXX XXXX. Immediate cessation of harassing calls by their associated debt collectors in line with FDCPA provisions. Please be advised that persistent contacts from XXXX XXXX based on false or unverified information reported through Equifax may result in a violation of FCRA codes, potentially leading to an immediate payout of up to {$1000.00} due to contacting me on accounts deemed fraudulent. I urgently request your prompt attention to these matters and expect a comprehensive and lawful resolution as per the guidelines outlined in the FCRA and FDCPA.

In compliance with the Fair Credit Reporting Act and as a gesture of respect to the Federal Trade Commission Committee on accuracy and completeness of credit information I am formally writing in today to dispute negative information appearing on my credit.

I demand to see Verifiable Proof ( an original Consumer Contract with my Signature on it ) of the accounts listed below. Your failure to positively verify these accounts has hurt my ability to obtain credit.
