I am a victim of identity- theft, I am writing to request that you block all accounts disputed as fraudulent on my credit reports with XXXX , XXXX , and XXXX. This information does not relate to any transactions I have made. I did not give anyone authorization or consent to use my personal information. I hereby exercise my legal rights enacted by Congress and The Federal Trade Commission, which explicitly states when a victim of identity-theft dispute a fraudulent account on his/her credit report it shall be honored by all credit bureaus and all fraudulent information should be blocked within 4 days and proper notification shall be given to all data furnishers pursuant to section 605b of The Federal Fair Credit Reporting Act. Failure to comply shall lead to complaints being filed with The Better Business Bureau, Consumer Financial Protection Bureau, and Attorney General stating your companys unlawful collection practices, misrepresentation of creditworthiness, defamation of character, and noncompliance to abide by laws enacted by Congress to protect victims of identity-theft who's credit been impacted by acts of fraud. Because I know my rights under THE FAIR CREDIT REPORTING ACT, CONSUMER CREDIT PROTECTION ACT ( CCPA ), and FAIR and ACCURATE CREDIT TRANSACTION ACT of 2003 ( FACTA ). I will be taking action. I also know my rights under this paragraph of Section 312 of the FACTA LAW : SEC.312. Procedures to enhance the accuracy and integrity of information furnished to consumer reporting agencies. ( b ) duty of furnishers to provide accurate information. -- Section 623 ( a ) ( 1 ) of THE FAIR CREDIT REPORTING ACT ( 15 U.S.C . 1681s-2 ( a ) ( 1 ) is amended ( 1 ) in subparagraph ( A ), by striking " knows or consciously avoids knowing the information is inaccurate '' and inserting " knows or has reasonable cause to believe that the information is inaccurate '', and ( 2 ) by adding at the end of the following : ( D ) DEFINITION -- For purposes of subparagraph ( A ), the term 'reasonable cause to believe that the information is inaccurate ' means having specific knowledge, other than solely allegations by the consumer, that would cause a reasonable person to have substantial doubts about the accuracy of information. Policy states. According to the Fair Credit Reporting Act FCRA 611 ( 15 U.S.C 1681 ), Procedure In Case of Disputed Accuracy. ( a ) Reinvestigation ( 1 ) Reinvestigation ( a ) In general. Subject to Subsection ( f ), if the completeness or accuracy of any item of information contained in a consumers file at a consumer agency is disputed by the consumer and the consumer notifies the agency directly, or indirectly through a reseller, of such dispute, free of charge, conduct a reasonable reinvestigation to determine whether the disputed information is inaccurate and record the current status of the disputed information, or delete the item from the file in accordance with paragraph ( 5 ), before the end of the 30-day period beginning on the date on which the agency receives the notice of the dispute from the consumer or reseller. Therefore, my position is being clearly stated, these accounts do not belong to me, meaning that you are reporting inaccurate account information within my credit file. The fact that these are inaccurate account information means that you, this credit-reporting agency, are reporting incorrect accounts. 1. CHARLESTON AREA MED CNTR CER bal. {$1400.00} I am well aware of my rights as a consumer. The Fair Credit Reporting Act requires that you, the credit-reporting agency report accurate and/or correct account information within my credit file. My credit issues are very specific, these accounts and/or items do not belong to me. This means that you are reporting incorrect account information within my credit report. It is this in mind that I request that these listed accounts and items be Blocked and Deleted. According to the Fair Credit Reporting Act FCRA, Section 1681c ( 2 ) Block of information resulting from identity theft. 1.Block. Except as otherwise provided in this section, a consumer reporting shall block the reporting of any information in the file of a consumer that the consumer identifies as information that resulted from alleged identity theft, not later than four ( 4 ) business days after the date receipt by such agency of 1. Appropriate proof of identity of the consumer ; 2. A copy of an identity theft report 3. The identification of such information by the consumer ; and 4. A statement by the consumer that the information relating to the transaction by the consumer. I have provided all of the above listed four ( 4 ) items within this package. Therefore, I expect these listed accounts to be deleted and blocked within ( 4 ) business days. This is clearly an identity theft issue. I am also entitled to receive a free copy of my credit report, so I am requesting a free credit report and that all of these accounts, public records items, and inquiries be permanently blocked and deleted.

This complaint is in regards to XXXX XXXX XXXX Account Number XXXX for {$200.00}, Account Number XXXX for {$100.00}, Account Number XXXX for {$30.00}, Account Number XXXX for {$84.00}, Account Number XXXX for {$30.00}, Account Number XXXX for {$94.00} and Account Number XXXX for {$130.00}. These are medical bills stemming from a car accident I was in sometime in XX/XX/2008 I believe it was where I was not at fault, at all. I received XXXX and XXXX therapy at XXXX XXXX - a facility in XXXX, OH and consultation with an alternative medicine practitioner in WV. All of the previous bills for this treatment were sent to the at fault party 's insurance company from that car accident who agreed to pay these bills and did pay all the previous bills resulting from this accident. I wasn't at fault in that wreck, I never agreed in writing or verbally to pay these bills nor ever did pay any bills stemming from this wreck and I'm not going to start now. I originally intended to include these medical bills in a bankruptcy I'd planned to file but upon learning that the major debt I had needed to file on was no longer held against me due to the statute of limitations I no longer need to file for bankruptcy and would like these medical bills removed from my credit immediately. If not immediately removed my next step will be to take legal action against the collection agencies for the harm they are now causing my credit. They need to go and bill the insurance company that paid all the other bills and get off the working man 's back.

I XXXX XXXX is the Original creditor. Pursuant to 15 usc 1692 a ( 4 ) No corporation can validate a debt. Also debt means any obligation or alleged obligation pursuant to 15 usc 1692 a ( 5 ). I am sending in a copy of the letters being sent to my place of abode. In these letters I have marked each violation for review. Please see the attached copies. I have tried resolving this with the collection agencies in which they keep saying this alleged debt is validated. Again how can you validate something you was not there for. Only I the original creditor can validate this alleged Debt. I XXXX XXXX DO NOT validate this debt. I will be filing a complaint with the XXXX as well as the attorney general. I do also plan to contact the media and release the information in regards to me being the consumer and natural person and my consumer rights as listed by Congress.

Healthcare Financial is showing up on my credit report so I gave them a call. I paid one amount that was on my report on XX/XX/2020. The woman said I had other debt. I said I had not received any notification of any debt and would like to see something in the mail or set up payment arrangements. She disregarded what I said and never attempted to help me.

Instead of trying to help me, she went and out and something else on my credit report and I received notification from a credit monitoring service. I have not once received anything in the mail from them. I am divorced and moved and she did not ask about my new address or seem to care. Furthermore, I am not liable for these medical bills, my ex husband is.

I am XXXX and was waiting for XXXX to pay their part on the medical bills so I got behind on my bills. I wanted to pay off the bills so I called and was charged XXXX this was on XX/XX/XXXX. This was the total I owed so I paid it. Got a letter XX/XX/XXXX, saying I was behind on a bill fro XXXX so I paid it. Now come to find out that bill was from XXXX XXXX, and had been paid in the XXXX I paid and now they will not return my money. The billing office is hateful and condescending and just try and make you mad..They don't know what they are doing and get paid for that They transfer me from one agent to the next al the while saying smart and hateful things. One office blames the clinic the clinic blames the billing office.

Good day, I have tried to get a medical collection that is not mine removed from my XXXX credit report. It is from Healthcare Financial Services an entity that I do not have a contract with, nor have I ever had a contract with. This collection has not appeared on any other credit bureau, nor have I ever heard of this Doctors name or remember ever going to the ER around that time. Then I tried to call and advise I do not owe that collection with the company they state for me to pay it or file a complaint with the credit bureau. When I try to file a complaint with XXXX they stated Ive already disputed it and didnt provide the right information and now I cant re-dispute it.
