CFPB - there is an attachment for The Bureaus Contact details. Attached as - Experian - TB Complaint .docx I am XXXX XXXX XXXX and I am the author of this dispute. This is NOT a Duplicate complaint, please do not flag it as such. This complaint is long, and detailed, with some technical details within it. Its also discoverable. All the companies within this complaint have an IT team, and developers that created/managed the integrations, built or maintain the systems or load the files from Data Furnishers. This information - is pulled from XXXX, and XXXX, with my PII data validated and ensured, for verification and for access to my own, Credit Reports. I am no longer willing to be the middle man. The Bureaus - is the Data Furnisher - and XXXX, is the CRA. The fix, can not be executed by me - it is, however both of your responsibilities. There is an existing complaint against The Bureaus ( TB ), and the complaint number is XXXX. That complaint - if read, is/was not as simple as a request of Validation of Debt, it was in detail, and specific to a complaint to The Bureaus ( TB ), and its compliance with Metro2, and its standards - and, then FCRA/FDCPA. A screen shot of the complaint is also attached as The Bureaus Orig Complaint. The Bureaus - failed to reply to all within this complaint. I have attached a screen shot of their response - as " TB - Orig Response '' I am pasting below, the responsibilities as a Data Furnisher - I am relying on - XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXXXXXX & XXXX For Federal Law - Definition of a Creditor and then a Debt Collector, I am relying on - 803 ( 4 ) and ( 6 ) XXXX XXXX XXXX THIS complaint is against The Bureaus ( Data Furnisher ) specifically - and, then XXXX ( CRA ) for this line item on my XXXX Report has created this dispute of both FACRA and FDCPA compliance, although there are more . It is not a Verification/Validation of Debt, please be so kind as to not treat as such. If in fact an attachment is needed to demonstrate any details I ask that you simply ensure your reporting accurately reflects it as only I can see the letter. The report as you know, is visible to all interested/qualified entities. If you can not resolve your issue please be so kind as to delete your record. I am also attaching the Metro2 specification with the Debt Collector section called out. ***The Header/Footer details in a Metro2, are not specific or keyed, on/to a consumer and are then n/a. See attached Metro2 DC Section and Do Not Send - Metro2. XXXX 1. Your reports, segment its details by Type of Information. 2. Pers Info >Names, Addresses>Year of Birth>Employers etc all the way down to Who To Contact and Consumer Rights 3. There is A single Header for Tradelines/Accounts/Records 4. Accounts 5. Here is your definition of items listed in this segment of a Consumer Report - Accounts Includes credit cards, real estate loans and installment loans. This information is reported to the credit bureaus from your creditors. 6. Here is another link from your site 7. XXXX XXXX XXXX 8. And attached as well As Understanding Your XXXX Credit Report - XXXX XXXX Definition of Sections 9. it says Accounts Accounts in a credit report include revolving credit accounts and installment loans. This information is reported to the credit bureaus by your creditors. Accounts in good standing reflect your creditors ' reports that you have satisfactorily met the terms of your agreements with them and all payments have been made on time. Lenders are not required to report account information to the credit reporting companies. Some lenders may choose to report to only one or two of the three major credit reporting companies ( XXXX, XXXX and XXXX ), and some choose not to report to any. Therefore, it is possible to have an account that does not appear on your credit report. This section may also include up to two years of your monthly balances on an account if it has been reported by your creditor. Here are some examples : 10. I have attached a screen shot of the fields/details/ expected results outlines in your site 11. They Are attached as Understanding - Accounts Ex 4 and with the same prefix 1-3. 12. I also looked at Collections. same url, same attachment as Above. 13. Attached as Understanding - Accounts Ex DC 2 and Understanding - Accounts Ex DC 1 14. That Section says Collections - When an account becomes seriously past due, the creditor may decide to turn the account over to an internal collection department or sell the debt to a collection agency. Once an account is sold to a collection agency, the collection account can then be reported as a separate account on your credit report. Collection accounts have a significant negative impact on your credit scores. Here 's how collection accounts will appear on your report : 15. I can Map Metro2 for a Collection account and to the fields you XXXX say are expected. 16. For Accounts -- - DC records, It becomes technical malpractice to map to an account, cause the entrance criteria to that door has allowed itself to be blown open 17. Its out of basic compliance with NORMAL Technical oversight even, SDLC when Experian allows this Data outside of what it demonstrated. 18. This Complaint specifically and for now, is about The Bureaus Inc. 19. They are Not Creditors ( definition is above ) 20. They are Debt Collectors. 21. How are they allowed to report, and from your Data as an Account and with your definition? And as a Creditor? 22. Does XXXX have a Section for Collections? 23. Because the Data from Metro2, is specific to their industry how are they then allowed to send, and then XXXX Publish attributes like Terms, Pay Histories, Rating, Balance Histories? 24. How are they ( and allot of others in this basket ) allowed to use values from Metro2 that are not specified for DC usage? 25. Your Definition of FICO Scoring is attached as XXXX - Fico Scoring. 26. It is understood that there are different models. 27. But the models are built based on DATA 28. It is visible where data is masked, or manipulated. Your tools display the issues and are in plain sight when you look. 29. Because this record from The Bureaus is allowed to exist in this state this is reporting itself in such an egregious way that it simply will destroy a consumer report even when it is paid off. 30. If I know you know, and this is systematic. The Bureaus 1. This is your record 2. You report it 3. You are aware of the expected results 4. And, the actual results 5. You are then compliant 6. You The Bureaus, dont have terms you are a debt collector 7. You dont have balance history you are a debt collector 8. You dont have rating or pay history you are a debt collector 9. You opened this account in XX/XX/XXXX XXXX. You then immediately reported a C Collection 11. And have been reporting it in Payment History for almost 4 years 12. Your FACRA/DOFD you are reporting is NOT accurate 13. Please accept this as our response to Ms. XXXX debt validation request for accounts ending in XXXX and XXXX. The account ending in XXXX was originally a Justice account underwritten by XXXX XXXX and previously serviced by XXXX XXXX, XXXX. and opened on XX/XX/XXXX. The last payment was made on XX/XX/XXXX in the amount of {$100.00}. The account charged off on XX/XX/XXXX in the amount of {$530.00}. 14. Metro2 file format has directions. 15. Even tells you what not to send - see attached " Do Not Send - Metro2. 16. Why are you sending it? Is this your expected result? 17. Can you fix your record? If its happening to me its happening to all and is systematic. This took me a while to figure out but, now I get it. I hope everyone else does/will get it too.

Thank you, The Bureaus, for your response to complaint. This is a good faith complaint. When life happens - report it accurately. I rely on - the FTC - FCRA - FDCPA, and ECFR as a Data Furnisher. https : //www.ecfr.gov/cgi-bin/text-idx? node=pt16.1.660 & rgn=div5 I am XXXX XXXX, and I am the author of this complaint, and then the communicator of the issues and identified complaint specifics. No credit repair company involved. I just love the data. ****Your ( TB ) 's address of record, is incorrect on your documents. Any correspondence you would have sent would never, have been received. The actual address should and as the result of erroneous reporting be cleaned up, and accurate, as your data is captured and sent. You should report this information accurately. The CFPB complaints have/do provide you with accurate data - and even when the CRA does not, and because of your/data furnisher 's erroneous reporting. This is NOT a duplicate, please do not flag it as such. ( XXXX portion and response, remain open. ) The XXXX remains, and as such I request again not to send me/attach a letter but report your corrections accurately. Your changes on XX/XX/XXXX, and to XXXX - are then attached. Your Response thank you, is below. After reviewing all that was documented, it looks as if the question Ms. XXXX has is why can The Bureaus, Inc. report an account to the credit reporting agencies since it is not a creditor? The answer is simple. The Bureaus, Inc is the master servicer for Bureaus Investment Group Portfolio No. 15, LLC. The Bureaus, Inc ( TBI ) is the legal power of attorney for Bureaus Investment Group Portfolio No. 15, LLC. ( BIG 15 ) BIG 15 is the assignee of the account ending in XXXX and the account ending in XXXX. ( See the last page of each Binder1 ) As the assignee, XXXX XXXX stands in the shoes of the original creditor. Since XXXX XXXX is the current creditor and TBI is the legal power of attorney and master servicer, TBI can report these as accounts to the credit reporting agencies on the behalf of XXXX XXXX. As far as reconciling the TBI trade lines with both XXXX XXXX trade lines is concerned, we can not answer this for we have no control over XXXX XXXX trade lines. We have responded in good faith. Nothing in this response may be construed as an admission of wrongdoing or liability, which The Bureaus, Inc. expressly denies. The Bureaus, Inc. also expressly reserves all of its rights and defenses in connection with Ms. XXXX inquiries and the account ending in XXXX and the account ending in XXXX. And Dear XXXX XXXX, We received your request for validation of the debt referenced above. Based on the records of our client, we are able to provide you with the following information : We hope this answers your questions regarding this debt, however if you still require additional information, please feel free to contact us. Regards, ( XXXX ) XXXX This is not an attempt to collect a debt. Charge-off balance : {$530.00} Charge-off date : XX/XX/XXXX Last payment to assignee ( if any ) : Current balance due : {$530.00} Open Date : XX/XX/XXXX Date of first delinquency : XX/XX/XXXX Last payment prior to acquisition : XX/XX/XXXX If you ( The Bureaus ) are asserting, that you are an assignee, from CO please ensure that the account specifics, you were assigned, do not change. No change in contractual agreements with CO and, specific to/you/with this Tradeline ever occurred. 1. The CO account you claim/state in this complaint, was a Credit Card 2. You are not reporting that at XXXX 3. This was also a Revolving account 4. You are not reporting that to XXXX XXXX. I am unsure if you are assigned an account, that the DATE Opened and all of its activity - and when the OCG is ghost - then any applicable changes 6. But this part will be flushed out as part of this entire process 7. If it Is NOT you then become the owner of all of its history Based on what is supplied the following items are then in dispute and as defined as required : 1. You provided CO statement through to XX/XX/XXXX, please provide the statement to reflect the delta from XXXX balance due to what you are attempting to collect. 2. There is a balance discrepancy and what you supplied, does not match your reported balance. 3. Please provide from XX/XX/XXXX, and charge off status, or the balance becomes inaccurate. 4. As such I then dispute the Balance 5. Then the dates. 6. Your documents are helpful, thank you. 7. The Charge off date The Bureaus provided, XX/XX/XXXX 8. XXXX XXXX Letter with the date of ACQUISITION is XX/XX/XXXX XXXX. They do not reflect Assignment and specifically as well as respectfully - this account was already Charged off, by then. 10. Because you acquired this account after Charge off ( XXXX ) are you truly an Assignee/Factoring Company/Debt Buyer or a Debt Collector? 11. Your response was unclear, can you confirm which designation you are acting upon? Debt Buyer or Assignee? Then your- The Bureaus - reporting. Should you The Bureaus, believe you have a right to publish your record, and as a Credit Grantor to the CRAs, please ensure your reporting is accurate and complete, then across all of the CRAs? You are reporting as a Debt Collector - and a Creditor/Lender. Which one is accurate? 1. I can see your changes, reported on XX/XX/XXXX 2. The Before and After are traceable. 3. XXXX was in the original complaint, but I can See XXXX and XXXX as well. 4. You The Bureaus, are reporting as a Credit Grantor and a Debt Collector? 5. Which is accurate? 6. It Can not be both The Bureaus owns the expected results and be so kind as to confirm. 7. Metro2 compliance etc, have 1 solution not many. 8. If you proclaim you can report on XXXX or heck XXXX as a Credit Grantor, cool but, please then FIX your record, and for its duration, and based upon your OWN Data a. The Date of First Delinquency/FACRA Date is incorrect ( XXXX ) - It is hereby DISPUTED b. The Pay History is incorrect Is incomplete and inaccurate. c. The Balance History Is incomplete and inaccurate. d. Rating History Is incomplete and inaccurate. ( XXXX ) e. This was a Retail Credit Card and a Revolving Account f. You are not reporting either. g. No Contractual details and between me and anyone changed, when this account was from Charge off to assignee.

I have received no reply from you, though I did receive confirmation via mail that you did receive my letter on XX/XX/2021, XX/XX/2021 and XX/XX/2021. This letter is my THIRD request to remove your inaccurate and unverifiable accounts from my credit report. Once again, note that this is not a refusal to pay, but a notice sent pursuant to the FDCPA 15 USC 1692g Sec. 809 ( b ) that your claim is disputed and validation is requested. " If the consumer notifies the debt collector in writing within the thirty-day period described in subsection ( a ) of this section that the debt, or any portion thereof, is disputed, or that the consumer requests the name and address of the original creditor, the debt collector shall cease collection of the debt, or any disputed portion thereof, until the debt collector obtains verification of the debt or a copy of a judgment, or the name and address of the original creditor, and a copy of such verification or judgment, or name and address of the original creditor, is mailed to the consumer by the debt collector. Collection activities and communications that do not otherwise violate this subchapter may continue during the 30-day period referred to in subsection ( a ) unless the consumer has notified the debt collector in writing that the debt, or any portion of the debt, is disputed or that the consumer requests the name and address of the original creditor. Any collection activities and communication during the 30-day period may not overshadow or be inconsistent with the disclosure of the consumers right to dispute the debt or request the name and address of the original creditor.

In addition, tell me when the current creditor obtained the debt and who the current creditor obtained it from. Provide verification and documentation that there is a valid basis for claiming that I am required to pay the debt to the current creditor.

First, this is a disclaimer to let you know I, XXXX XXXX, wrote this letter and not a credit repair company. I received a copy of my XXXX, XXXX and XXXX credit report, and noticed a collection that needed to be deleted. The item is as follows : THE BUREAUS, INC : XXXX Pursuant to the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act or XXXX XXXX XXXX, more specifically XXXX XXXX XXXX - Definitions, debt is defined as follows : ( XXXX ) The term debt means any obligation or alleged obligation of a consumer to pay money arising out of a transaction in which the money, property, insurance, or services which are the subject of the transaction are primarily for personal, family, or household purposes, whether or not such obligation has been reduced to judgment. This is an ALLEGED debt that I do NOT owe. Pursuant to 15 USC 1692g, I have the right to verify a debt, and this is an ALLEGED debt that I do NOT owe, therefore : this INACCURATE information needs to be DELETED from all consumer reporting agencies. You had no permissible purpose by law to report this alleged debt and have violated 15 USC 1692g - Validation of debt because you failed to satisfy all 5 requirements, which states : ( a ) Notice of debt ; contents Within five days after the initial communication with a consumer in connection with the collection of any debt, a debt collector shall, unless the following information is contained in the initial communication or the consumer has paid the debt, send the consumer a written notice containing ( 1 ) the amount of the debt ; ( 2 ) the name of the creditor to whom the debt is owed ; ( 3 ) a statement that unless the consumer, within thirty days after receipt of the notice, disputes the validity of the debt, or any portion thereof, the debt will be assumed to be valid by the debt collector ; ( 4 ) a statement that if the consumer notifies the debt collector in writing within the thirty-day period that the debt, or any portion thereof, is disputed, the debt collector will obtain verification of the debt or a copy of a judgment against the consumer and a copy of such verification or judgment will be mailed to the consumer by the debt collector ; and ( 5 ) a statement that, upon the consumers written request within the thirty-day period, the debt collector will provide the consumer with the name and address of the original creditor, if different from the current creditor. I am not requesting a statement of generalized accounting, as this would NOT be accurate because it is NOT an authenticated record. I am demanding a request for accounting, pursuant to the Uniform Commercial Code ( UCC ), which is recognized as commercial law. UCC Article 9-210 ( 2 ) is noted below. 9-210. REQUEST FOR ACCOUNTING ; REQUEST REGARDING LIST OF COLLATERAL OR STATEMENT OF ACCOUNT. ( a ) [ Definitions. ] In this section : ( 1 ) " Request '' means a record of a type described in paragraph ( 2 ), ( 3 ), or ( 4 ). ( 2 ) " Request for an accounting '' means a record authenticated by a debtor requesting that the recipient provide an accounting of the unpaid obligations secured by collateral and reasonably identifying the transaction or relationship that is the subject of the request. If your agency is having a hard time understanding the law, my request for an accounting means the request for an accounting you provide me must be signed by someone under authority in order to VALIDATE/VERIFY the information in the instrument ; this is the meaning of what a record authenticated means. A record CAN NOT be authenticated without being signed by someone under authority. If you cant send me an actual ORIGINAL contract with my signature on it, you have no right furnishing this inaccurate information and not only have you violated my right to privacy, but youve violated various statutes of BOTH the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act ( FDCPA ) and the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ) simply by reporting this alleged debt. Im not sure if you know, but violations of these sections make you liable for at LEAST {$1000.00} per violation. Even if you satisfy all 5 requirements, I am the one that has the right to verify whether it is my debt or not and as I have previously stated this is an ALLEGED debt that I do NOT owe. I have sustained defamation of my character as a result of this information and am demanding you to delete the above accounts from my consumer report. Furthermore, I demand that you CEASE and DESIST all efforts to collect on this alleged debt and may only communicate with me further under the stipulations of sending me a letter with this alleged account deleted. As a reminder, your company agreed to abide by the rules set forth by the SEC : You have 14 days to respond upon receipt of this letter to delete the negative items and send me a new letter, notifying me that the information has been deleted from all consumer reporting agencies.

XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX, GA XXXX THE BUREAUS INC / XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX, IL XXXX ( XXXX ) XXXX RE : Collection account XXXX To Whom It May Concern : I have previously sent you a request to validate my debt under the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act and all I received was an itemized list of the alleged charges you claim I owe you. This does not meet the Federal Trade Commissions guidelines of what constitutes proper debt validation In addition, in the case of Spears Vs. Brennan ( IN THE COURT OF APPEALS OF INDIANA, No. 49A02-0003-CV-169 ), the court ruled that : 15 U.S.C. 1692g ( b ) ( emphasis added ). On November 12, 1996, nineteen days after the date of Brennans debt collection letter, Spears counsel Shepard sent Brennan a letter declaring that Spears disputes your debt collection-related allegations, denies the same, and demands strict proof and verification thereof. Record at 21. As such, Brennan should have ceased his debt collection efforts immediately upon receiving that letter. Instead, Brennan proceeded to obtain a default judgment against Spears on the debt collection claim before he had mailed Spears the necessary verification and, thus, violated 15 U.S.C. 1692g ( b ). Brennan maintains, however, that there was no violation of the FDCPA because he sent adequate verification of the debt [ to Spears ] in the October 30, 1996 notice of claim. Brief of Appellee at 13. Specifically, Brennan claims that a copy of the consumer credit contract between Spears and American General attached to the notice of claim provided sufficient verification of the debt within the meaning of 15 U.S.C. 1692g ( b ). We can not agree. The contract in no way provides sufficient verification of the debt. A review of the document reveals that it identifies only the terms of Spears loan, including a 17.99 % annual interest rate and the original loan amount of {$2500.00}. The loan agreement contains no accounting of any payments made by Spears, the dates on which those payments were made, the interest which had accrued, or any late fees which had been assessed once Spears stopped making the required payments. Indeed, the existing unpaid contract balance at the time Brennan sent the debt collection notice was at least {$350.00} more than the original loan amount. Therefore, Brennan violated 15 U.S.C. 1692g ( b ) when he failed to cease collection of the debt by obtaining a default judgment against Spears after Spears had notified Brennan in writing that he was disputing the debt but before Brennan had mailed verification of the debt to Spears. We reverse the trial courts entry of summary judgment in favor of Brennan on this issue. I notice that you are still reporting this collection on my credit report, which is considered to be a collection activity. You are now in violation of the FCPDA, and are now subject to fines of {$1000.00}, plus actual damages and attorneys fees, which I may collect from you by filing a claim in small claims court. These collections on my credit report are causing me severe problems in trying to purchase a home and the damage could lead into the $ 1000s. You should also be aware that reporting such invalidated information to major credit bureaus might constitute defamation of character, as the negative marks on my credit report harm my credit and prevent me from enjoying all the benefits of good credit. In addition, the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ) does not allow the inaccurate reporting of information on my credit report and under this act. Therefore, if you do not immediately remove this account from my credit report, you are subject to another {$1000.00} fine, plus punitive damages. I'm sure your legal staff will agree that non-compliance with this request could put your company in serious legal trouble with the FTC and other state or federal agencies. I intend to follow through with the suit if I do not hear back from you within 15 days. I look forward to hearing from you, XXXX XXXX

My name is XXXX XXXX and I am currently XXXX overseas with XXXX. I am writing this to file a complaint against The Bureaus Incorporated Portfolio # 15 who can be reached at XXXX. They are a debt collector and I have evidence to prove they are breaking the Service Members Civil Relief Act ( 50 U.S.C. 3901-4043 ). As a military member of the United States and a consumer of the same, I am asking for a formal investigation on The Bureaus Incorporated Portfolio # 15 against their unlawful practices and additionally their collecting agency, XXXX XXXX XXXX, who has on many occasions broken the following ( but not limited to ) : ( 1 ) Insisted me to pay them before they did any work on my behalf to adjust my balance ( 2 ) Told me not to contact the credit reporting company ( The Bureaus Incorporated Portfolio # 15 ) directly ( 3 ) Told me to dispute information in your credit report -- even if you know it 's accurate ( 4 ) Did not explain to me my legal rights when they told me what they can do for me. There needs to be better enforcement on the operations of these to FTC regulated companies who fail to abide by Federal Law. On various attempts I have tried to dispute the interest on my account as well as all the interest ever charged on my account during periods of XXXX XXXX service. According to the Service Members Civil Relief Act, interest bearing accounts for service members while on XXXX status is not to exceed 6 % during XXXX XXXX period and for the 6 months to follow after coming off of XXXX XXXX service. After being activated several times to XXXX XXXX service, I was being charged more than the 6 % interest rate monthly, and was over-charged for those time periods. I have spoken to many collections associates during and after these periods with no luck getting them to make adjustments on my interest. I was told by XXXX of XXXX XXXX XXXX staff on XXXX/XXXX/2016 that I was to get my account balance ( {$11000.00} ) adjusted for all the periods of XXXX XXXX service for the entirety of my account and this was never done. This was after speaking to one of the staff at The Bureau Incorporated ( The Account Owner ) that told me they would make the adjustments as well. After calling XX/XX/2016 at XXXX, the XXXX XXXX XXXX employee found that I am to have my account adjusted to {$7700.00} after deducting what I have been mischarged ( This is on a recorded call ). He then instructed me to email XXXX XXXX XXXX ( XXXXXXXXXXXX ) all of the documentation their office needed as evidence for my case. In that email, I attached all of my orders as evidence and clearly explained the issue for any reviewing account manager to understand. I also stated that I was happy to provide anything further that XXXX XXXX XXXX or The Bureau Investment Group Portfolio # 15 requested in order to get my account to accurately reflect what I owe after deducting the over-charges in interest by giving them XXXX ways to reach me : by email or my mailing address ( listed in my signature block ). I do not have access to mail and will not be able to receive calls while I am XXXX. Earlier this evening, at XXXX I attempted to call The Bureau Incorporated Portfolio # 15. After entering my SSN, I was automatically transferred to XXXX XXXX XXXX. A man by the name of XXXX XXXX rudely answered the phone. I addressed my previous conversation and the email with XXXX attachments that I sent out on XXXX XXXX, 2016. Unable to help me after speaking to him for 10 minutes, he escalated my phone call to his team lead, a young lady whom I did not get her name. I asked for a resolution to get my account adjusted and she informed me that she could not do anything for me to help me resolve my case and only offered to have me write a completely new dispute

First off, I find it offensive and insulting that in the response to my original complaint, you essentially call me a liar as indicated by ( and I quote ) '' Mr. XXXX mentioned that he believed this was used by an " unauthorized user '' and also that " it seems unlikely that an unauthorized user would continue to pay on the account '' .You see, unlike you, it is not what I speculate or guess to be, it is instead, what I know. It seems to me that your respondent must truly feel a high degree of certainty that he/she is correct. When in fact, I can assure you, that you do not know my personal circumstances and what events have caused this debt to be what it is. Stick to the facts and the facts are this - you still have not complied with my request for itemized charges, signatures and dates of purchase so that I may differentiate charges that I know to be mine and then those that are unauthorized. Did it ever occur to you people that the unauthorized user may be somebody close to me and that knew me intimately and also knew how to make payments enough to avoid detection? Or maybe, I kept paying the monthly bill not paying close attention to the increasing amount? At any rate, you seem to have it all figured out..except for the part where you comply with my request to simply get itemized charges and dates. I find it aggravating and frustrating that after repeated attempts, I still am not getting what I have repeatedly requested. In fact, it seems now to have become a game and a personal attack on me. Why do n't you people simply provide what I have asked for and quit playing your little games. Again and again and again ... XXXX, I do not dispute that the account is mine. I simply want documentation of itemized charges and the dates of purchase. Why do I want these? I want these because in order for me to submit a police report or affidavit, I need these to show the facts. Can I be any clearer? Also in closing, your response states that you included documents to support your response which include a debt validation letter, a credit card application and lastly, billing statements. TO WHOM, I DID NOT GET ANYTHING? In fact, what good do any of these do for me anyway? I already said that I acknowledge being the owner of the account. The statements do n't show itemized charges and dates of purchase. DO YOU KNOW THAT NOT ONCE HAS THERE BEEN ANY ATTEMPT TO PUT ME IN TOUCH WITH YOUR FRAUD UNIT OR REQUEST A FRAUD AFFIDAVIT FROM ME. I have had to do this with a few other situations on my credit and they kindly listen to me, acknowledge my situation and give me advice and directions on how to obtain the information I am looking for. And do you know that as a result of this, they have acknowledged the unauthorized use on these accounts and have since remedied the situation. BUT NOT YOU! I ca n't even get detailed information from you and then on top of it, you make judgements and attack me personally. I 'm giving you one last opportunity to give me the information I am requesting or I will take legal action against your firm. Hopefully, this is something you can understand?

The Bureaus has continued to contact me regarding the XXXX XXXX debt even though I have disputed this. I have submitted in writing before but they have continued to shuttle this collection between collection agencies and currently I have contact from the following : agencies in addition to the Bureaus : XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX I have disputed this debt due to the misrepresentation from XXXX XXXXXXXX on the original debt. The equipment was the property of the business XXXX XXXX XXXX and when the business was dissolved in XXXX XXXX XXXX was contacted to acquire equipment. XXXX XXXX did not place this order until they were contacted 4 more times and finally acknowledged this in XXXX XXXX a full 8 months after the first contact. XXXX XXXX set the equipment up for pickup, but not until XXXX of XXXX thus allowing 10 months of extra fees to incur on the account. XXXX XXXX also needed legal contact to release the lien of a vessel that was paid off with them in XXXX and stated that just because it was paid does not mean the lien is released on a revolving account which is completely false. They also demanded the collection of a jet ski trailer that was NEVER included in the XXXX financing, and even if it had been it would have been release with the XXXX payoff. The account balance for XXXX was for the XXXX vessel of which the XXXX vessel only had an owed balance of {$300.00}. The equipment was placed for auction and sold in XX/XX/XXXX. The only notice I received after this was the collection from Bureaus and not XXXX XXXX. I was never notified of the completed sale amount, how much had been applied to my account, and what the final account of charges was ( sale fee, equipment fee, collection fee, and repo fee ). I have asked for an accounting of this since XXXX and only received a copy of my XXXX XXXX statement that show the final balance before sale. The only letter I received in this time was the notice of sale. Bureaus has continued to shuttle my account between a half dozen of their subsidiaries disregarding my dispute. According to this timeline XXXX XXXX placed this account in collection as of XX/XX/XXXX and not XX/XX/XXXX as stated by Bureaus. This reporting has continued to be labeled as current and accurate monthly since this. I have disputed with XXXX and the collection company has provided false documentation that I have never been supplied regardless of repeated request. Seven different companies continue to contact me and make offers on this debt which makes it impossible to ever settle because I would not know if this would be cleared. Bureaus continue to report the debt every month as new which has continued to impact my credit and prevented me from obtaining financing for housing. Considering this debt is almost 7 years old, the impact of the collection should have diminished over the last 7 years but due to Bureaus tactic of passing the debt between collection agencies every time I dispute it and their continued reporting it is impossible to deal with.

I sent THE BUREAUS INC a cease and desist order with a debt validation letter attached on XX/XX/21. The letters were sent certified mail with a green receipt number XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX. I received my green card back on XX/XX/21 and it shows that both letters were received by a person named XXXX XXXX on XX/XX/21. This person is an uninterested party in this matter. In my cease and desist I demanded that THE BUREAUS INC send me an audit trail, respond to the debt validation letter that was attached, and send me ALL documentary evidence so that I can exercise my right in validating the alleged debt that THE BUREAUS INC claims that I owe them. It has been 7 days and I still haven't received any of my demands in writing. Congress finds that this is a violation of 15 USC 1692g ( a ) which states that within 5 days of initial communication with the consumer the debt collector must send the consumer a written notice containing the amount of the debt, the name of the creditor to whom the debt is owed, a statement that unless the consumer, within thirty days after receipt of the notice, disputes the validity of the debt, or any portion thereof, the debt will be assumed to be valid by the debt collector, a statement that if the consumer notifies the debt collector in writing within the thirty-day period that the debt, or any portion thereof, is disputed, the debt collector will obtain verification of the debt or a copy of a judgment against the consumer and a copy of such verification or judgment will be mailed to the consumer by the debt collector, and a statement that, upon the consumers written request within the thirty-day period, the debt collector will provide the consumer with the name and address of the original creditor, if different from the current creditor. THE BUREAUS INC is also in violation of the FCRA ( Fair Credit Reporting Act ). I'm not sure how they received my private information. I did not give written or oral consent for them to furnish financial information to ANY of my consumer reports, THE BUREAUS INC has committed identity theft. On my consumer reports THE BUREAUS INC 's states that, " account information disputed by consumer, meets FCRA requirements '' these statements are false, I never received ANY written notices from THE BUREAUS INC or documentary evidence that proves their claims that I owe them the alleged debt. THE BUREAUS INC is committing fraud and invading my consumer rights to privacy. THE BUREAUS INC has also caused me embarrassment, defamed my character, and harmed my credit worthiness and reputation by furnishing false financial information on my consumer reports. Furthermore, I have never done business with THE BUREAUS INC so I would like to know how they received all of my private financial information. I would also like to know who gave them consent to contact me or report anything to my consumer reports. THE BUREAUS INC is violating federal law. I need answers and this matter needs to be resolved immediately.

I am just a lonely consumer trying to make through this COVID-19 pandemic. I have spoken to the a representative at the FTC. They told me that The Bureaus Inc who is trying to collect a debt on the behalf or XXXX XXXX is abusing there power. This why this month the FTC, State, and Federal Law Enforcement Partners Annouced a Nationwide Crackdown on Abusives Debt Collection Companies. So, I sent out a ceritified letter to The Bureaus on XX/XX/2020 and they signed for it on XX/XX/2020 ( I have attached the letter and certified return signature receipt ). Yes, they reply attaching a binde r of 80 pages but they have not provide me with all of the following : This letter is sent because of what is on my recent credit report. Be advised that this is not a refusal to pay, but a notice sentpursuant to the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act, 15 USC 1692g Sec. 809 ( b ) that your claim is disputed and validation isrequested. This is NOT a request for verification or proof of my mailing address, but a request for VALIDATION made pursuant to theabove named Title and Section. I respectfully request that your offices provid e me with " VALIDATION '' competent evidencebearing my signature that I have any legal obligation to pay you. Please provide me with the following : 1 ) What the money you say I owe is for ; 2 ) Explain and show me how you calculated what you sa y I owe ; 3 ) Provide me with copies of any papers that show I agreed to pay what you say I owe ; competent evidence bearing mysignature 4 ) Provide a verification or copy of any judgment if applicable ; 5 ) Identify the original creditor ; 6 ) Prove the Statute of Limitations has not expired on this account 7 ) Show me that you are licensed to collect in my state 8 ) Provide me with your license numbers and Registered Agent The FTC said that most of these collection companies or not even listed to collect in my state and don't have license number or registered agent. They are broking the law if all these items are not answered. They don't also don't have the right amount according to the last credit report on XX/XX/2020 they are still in non-complaint according to the FD CPA ,15 USC 1692g Sec.809 ( b ). The CRA are broking the law also by letting the The Bureaus report this on my credit report according to FCRA, Section 609 ( a ) ( 1 ), they are required by federal law to vertify-through the physical verification o the original signed consumer contract any and all accounts post on a credit report. Otherwise, anyone paying for reporting services could fax, mail or email in a fraudulent account. So, I am not only asking for validation of my signature but does your company have any right to collect in my state if so proved proof and the license numbers and Registed Agent. All those questions have to answered or please have all the CRA you are reporting this delete this accou nt.

This is a reopen for case # XXXX. My initial complaint said : YOUR COMPLAINT XXXX XXXX hired The Bureaus Inc, to collection on a debt that I allegedly owe for {$1100.00}. At this time the Bureaus, Inc and I have been unable to come up with an agreement on the account. Respectfully, the Bureaus, Inc has hired XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX to collect the amount allegedly owed. 1- On XXXX/XXXX/XXXX, I have offered to settle this account with XXXX XXXX XXXX for $ XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX declined to accept my offer 2- XXXX/XXXX/XXXX, I spoke with XXXX XXXX XXXX and XXXX XXXX @ ext XXXX 3- Today, XXXX XXXX XXXX has done the ultimate collection practices with borderlines extortion, harassment and intimidation 4- XXXX XXXX XXXX, advised that they will only do a settlement offer with me for {$650.00} for TODAY and TODAY only for payment over the telephone. 5- I advised XXXX XXXX XXXX that I would settle the account for {$500.00} and that the only way I feel comfortable with any transactions is for them to send me a settlement agreement via USPS to my address of record, in turn if the agreement is satisfactory- then I will mail them an online bill payment check though my bank with certified funds. This way I feel comfortable about them not having my financial information and they would have certified funds. 6- the Manager of XXXX XXXX then began his intimidation and harassment practices. The Manager began to tell me that IF I do not pay him today the {$650.00} then the next time if and when I call to pay it is going to be {$900.00}. I wish for XXXX XXXX to refrain from calling me and I will either deal with the original credit only. This is harassment intimidation and extortion. I was at work in front of XXXX to the point I was almost crying while he was basically demeaning me. This is illegal collection practices. I have tried on multiple occasions to reach the bureaus without any success of talking to any represtative at XXXX. XXXX XXXX XXXX failed to answer the complaint but responded as : Company responded on XXXX/XXXX/XXXX Response Type Closed with explanation Company 's Response Dear XXXX XXXX : I am in receipt of your correspondence to XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX concerning the XXXX XXXX XXXX account that was placed with us for collection.

Greetings! I spoke to an agent about debt collection issue from The Bureau Inc. I complied in good faith and to show my good intentions only but not judge my situation based on my records. I am a good payor and only was a victim of the credit card scheme or the card never arrived and received by me. I tried to explain to the agent I think the call was recorded. Anyway the short version of my story is I purchased an item on XXXX XXXX for only {$95.00} which is not really a big amount for me not to pay for it. Now cashier offered me discounts 10 % on my purchase, I was interested and engaged, ended up getting a card, she did even try to say that it was a credit card on the first place. Anyway it happened and gave me a receipt that I kept for evidence until now. The receipt says that I will receive the a credit card about 10 to 12 days. Now, the card did not arrived and was never received. Then, a letter came to stating late fees which I strongly believed is invalid because in the first place there was no credit card and means to pay the credit. Now, conflicting assumptions came that this is a scam and/or scheming. Delaying the card by mail. I went to the bank to check the transaction history and all. I investigated more and took time to check my assumptions. Then charges, piled up. On the month of XXXX a letter stating that I purchased an item which I did not do. During this time I realized that the card was stolen or manipulated by the company to increase the charge but I can not prove that. So the amount increased and double. I called the credit company to report this but said to me they need my SSN card copy and proof of address mailed to them, which I doubted, and did not comply because they can't have my SSN and in the first place my SSN was in their records. So it took time that they closed the account until it accumulated higher fees. Now COVID 19 happened XXXX and I am a active XXXX XXXX for the State of New York and was assigned in a COVID center hospital. I can't deal with the problem due to the nature of my work and lack of knowledge, skills and resources to amend this and claim my reputation as good payer. So, I am signifying that I paid only and only with intentions and good faith to resolve this and recover my good reputation with my records. It was not intentional not to pay but rather the card never arrived. I am appealing to The Bureaus Inc. to please clear up my name as soon as possible because I need my FICO scores to go up. This record was never meant to be on my profile as a person and dont just clear me get the record deleted. This is COVID times in New York that I badly needed my reputation and good standing from my bank. My life is devasted already because of this problem.

The Bureaus, Inc collection agency is very familiar with FRCA as it relates to proper debt validation. It is also acutely aware of the origins of the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau. And yet, at the risk of having fines imposed, among other things, this agency is taking advantage of me by violating my rights under FRCA and refusing to communicate with me regarding the validity of a debt they have placed on my credit file. I have made multiple efforts to engage this creditor in an effort to help me determine the validity of this debt and/or to reach an amicable agreement, if the debt can be verified. When I petitioned the CFPB, this entity like the CRA, XXXX, sided with t he collection agency, The Bureaus, ignoring my rights under the FRCA. ( XXXX merely accepted whatever information the collection agency provided as debt validation ) I contacted The Bureaus in an effort to work out an agreement. I believe the representative whom I spoke with stated someone would get back to me. I have not had a business relationship with The Bureaus ; no contract, nor have they sent me anything in writing validating their legal right to collect debt in my state. I can not recall ever having any business dealings with The Bureaus , Inc . On XX/XX/2019, I mailed via certified mail a request to The Bureaus that they provide me with details of this debt that could help me understand how my relationship/contract, if applicable, with them originated. I asked for specific information that any other person might request to help formulate questions about a debt being reported on the credit reports. The FCRA allows for me to request this information. It also states that if the information is inaccurate and/or can not be verified, then the reported item in this case the collection account has to be deleted by the CRA. I am submitting another formal complaint submitted against The Bureaus , Inc. because they have ignored all of my requests to engage in an effort to bring closure to this matter. They have elected to only respond to the CRAs, and not to me, the consumer who is directly impacted by an item that they refuse to validate as outlined by FRCA. In every attempt to work with this creditor cordially, they have stalled, taken advantage of the CRAs, tricked this entity ( CFPB ) and responded in ways that avoid answering the center of my complaint ; that they refused to comply with FRCA and will not validate debt. Therefore, it ought to be removed from all three of my credit reports. I have attached the letter to The Bureaus of XX/XX/2019 and the signed certified receipt, which confirms by the U.S. Postal Service that The Bureaus received my formal request for debt validation on XX/XX/2019.

XX/XX/XXXX To whom it may concern : I would like to file a complaint against XXXX XXXX, sometime ago I owned a XXXX XXXX credit card, a card which I had acquired through XXXX XXXX. While I had the card with XXXX I had no issues, I used the card, paid off the balance more than once, then I believe it was sometime in XXXX I was advised that XXXX XXXX was going to be taking over my credit card, and everything went down from there. Since XXXX XXXX took over XXXX XXXX, all of the stores have been shut down, I believe they went bankrupt, they closed down sometime in XXXX. At the time of the stores closing, I had, had a small balance owed on my credit card of {$45.00}, I ran into a difficult financial period due to medical reasons, and I couldnt pay off the small balance that was left. The reason for my requesting your assistance, is that, XXXX XXXX has run up the credit card account with false information, as well as fraudulent charges that I did not run up on the card. XXXX XXXX states, that they have charged off the account, and that they have placed the account into collections, they have placed a balance of {$360.00} into collections, and I did not run up this balance, nor did I owe it. XXXX XXXX is fraudulently claiming that I had ran up this {$360.00} balance between XXXX to present, XXXX with XXXX XXXX, and none of that is true. Prior to my making the purchase of the {$70.00} on XX/XX/XXXX on the XXXX XXXX card, there was no balance on the account, because I had previously paid off my account in full. XXXX XXXX is ruining my credit, by placing false account information onto my credit files, they have themselves listed on my credit files as me owing this {$360.00} that I do not owe to them. And they have also passed on this false account information to a Bureaus Investment GroupXXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX So on my credit files I have both XXXX XXXX, and the collection company Bureaus Investment Group listed on my credit files, as both of them charging me for this same {$360.00}. So I have two live collections for money that I should not be owing to XXXX XXXX, so my credit is being dinged twice by both XXXX XXXX, and Bureaus Investment Group. How unfair that is, that they want to charge me for money that they have run up onto the credit card account, and then turn around, and XXXX XXXX charging me on my credit files, ruining my credit, as well as drastically lowering my credit score. Then they give this same fraudulent information to a Bureaus Investment Group, and they too without verifying anything with me, they turn around and also ruin my credit rating and, credit score for money that I should not be owing to XXXX XXXX.

There are 2 accounts listed in my report, and across all CRA 's. 1. There is no Tradeline on my credit report, and from XXXX where an account number, or a balance matches what is being reported by The Bureaus 2. I do not believe these accounts are mine. 3. Then, as a Debt Collector ( DC ), Account Numbers/Original Creditors information must be maintained ( Metro2 - K1 Segment ) and it is not 4. The Date if First Delinquency listed, is not/ can not be true/accurate and for both accounts is listed - and is against FCRA rules - and then is disputed The valid XXXX XXXX ( as the original credit grantor ) tradelines, have a DOFD that is not close to what you have, and date you list is inaccurate and against FCRA Then, the Bureaus is reporting data on my report that is wholly inaccurate, incomplete and against FCRA Where these accounts exists - at a CRA XXXX, XXXX and XXXX the following, is occurring : The Bureaus, a Debt Collector, is knowingly sending data to CRA 's , as if they are a Credit Grantor and with data attributes that Metro2 specifies should not be sent when not a credit grantor. Metro2 File Standards ( industry norm for acceptiXXXX data at the CRA XXXX is followed, XXXX XXXX are required to send data in their file to a CRA - Header ( Who is reporting, including ID or the data furnisher ) Trailer ( File counts of records sent/activity ) Base Segment - Consumer detail, tradeline info where limited attributes are expected to be sent ( values are not defaulted ) to a CRA XXXX Segment ( Original Creditor/Creditor Classification Code or Client Name/Client Type - Account Number ) ******Many fields are not expected to be sent - see attachment of Metro2 DC do not send, and The Bureaus is sending them.

The Original Creditor - should not, and is not expected to be in a historical info ( free form text field ) This tradeline - collection account, fails to even show up in the COLLECTION SECTION of raw data reports directly from the CRA - because, it is mimicking the data/file details of an XXXX account. This account presents itself as if they are a lender.

I am filing a complaint of non-compliance requesting validation, made pursuant to the Fair Debt Collection Practices and the Fair Credit Reporting Act, along with the corresponding local state laws. Please note that I am requesting VALIDATION ; that is competent evidence bearing my signature, showing that I have ( or ever had ) some contractual obligation to pay these companies : 1 ) XXXX XXXX ( XXXX XXXX ) SEE ATTACHMENT 2 ) THE BUREAU ( XXXX XXXX ) SEE ATTACHMENT 3 ) XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX SEE ATTACHMENT This month the FTC, and Federal Law Enforcement Partners have announce XXXX Crackdown on Abusive Debt Collection Companies. This is formal complaint that you have failed to provide me with copies of any viable evidence, bearing my signature to my dispute letter deposited by certified registered mail with USPS. ( have attached certified letters that were sent ). I have maintain careful records and for your benefit, and as a gesture of goodwill final attempt to have you clear up this matter. You have 15 days to cure. How are you guys reporting or verifying these accounts to the CRAs when it lacked underlying documentation. In 2000, the FTC held that the FCRA barred a debt buyer from " verifying a tradeline disputed by a consumer when it didn't posses the original documents. FTC allegations was that upon receiving a CDV form from a CRA that the debt buyer ( s ) and furnisher ( s ) they can not use the PCM for verification does not constitute an " investigation '' for purpose of section 1681s-2 ( b13 ), when a consumer disputes the accuracy of information reported by debt buyer ( s ) or furnisher ( s ), they should either verify the information with the original documents bearing a signature within the time period set forth in the FCRA or take all necessary steps to deleted the information from the files of all consumer reporting agencies to which the information was reported within 5 business days after receiving the consumer dispute, notify all consumer reporting agencies to which the information has been provided that the information is to be deleted from the file of the consumer who has disputed the account. Consent Decree Order, Section II. As per FTC opinion letter from Attorney General XXXX XXXX XXXX, you should be aware that a print out of a bill or itemized document does not constitute verification. I am again formally requesting a copy of VERIFIABLE PROOF ( of original Consumer Contract with my Signature on it ) you have on file ( Section 609 ( a ) of the accounts listed on my original letter. If not you must remove the accounts listed above. These accounts have hurt my ability to obtain credit.

THE BUREAUS, INC IS NOT IN COMPLIANCE WITH THEIR CODE OF FEDERAL REGULATIONS 12 CFR 222.42, 12 CFR 1006.30 ( b ) PUT IN PLACE BY THEIR REGULATORS, THE CONSUMER FINANCIAL PROTECTION BUREAU. THEY ARE NOT ACTING IN ACCURACY AND INTEGRITY BY CONTINUING TO FURISH AND COLLECT ON A FRAUDULENT ACCOUNT. The Bureaus Inc states that they are a licensed collection agency in the state of Illinois by attaching a license with the name XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX THE BUREAUS INC. When searching XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX in the Illinois Department of Financial and Professional Regulation database The Bureaus Inc is not listed as a XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX ( find evidence below ), surely the Illinois Department of Financial and Professional Regulation are capable of including that XXXX in their online database. 12 CFR 222.41 ( a ) ( 3 ) states information that a furnisher provides to a consumer reporting agency must identify the appropriate consumer. I have informed The Bureaus Inc that this alleged account is a result of identity theft in accordance with 15 USC 1681c-2. The Bureaus Inc previously stated in a CFPB response If this account was opened fraudulently, the account would have charged off 180 days after the account was opened and likely the bills would not get sent to XXXX XXXX correct address. THESE BILLS WERE NOT SENT TO MY CORRECT ADDRESS. The address on all of the statements and documents in the binder The Bureaus Inc continues to attach is NOT my address, I dont know whos address that belongs too. Please find the address highlighted on XXXX of the statements The Bureaus Inc attached and my correct address is connected to my Consumer Finance account and I have also sent correspondence to The Bureaus Inc from my correct address.. 12 CFR 1006.30 ( b ) ( 1 ) Official interpretation 2. Debt that resulted from identity theft quotes 15 USC 1681m ( f ) ( 1 ) and states that no person shall sell, transfer for consideration, or place for collection a debt if such person has been notified under section 605B of the FCRA that the debt has resulted from identity theft. And pursuant to 15 USC 1681m ( f ) ( 2 ) it states The prohibitions of this subsection shall apply to all persons collecting a debt. The Bureaus Inc continues to place the alleged debt in collection and it has been notified that this alleged debt is a result of identity theft. Please find my Federal Trade Commission Official Identity Theft Report attached. This account is a result of identity theft, act in integrity and accuracy and terminate all further collection efforts and stop violating federal law and the code of federal regulations your regulators put in place.

XX/XX/XXXX To whom it may concern at the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau : I would like to file a complaint against a collection company by the name of Bureaus Investment Group. This Bureaus Investment Group continues to slander my credit by placing collection accounts onto my credit files that they never verified prior to placing these fraudulent, false accounts onto my credit files. As previously stated, Bureaus Investment Group never verified the collection accounts that they have placed onto my credit files, and they know that what they have done is unlawful. So now Bureaus Investment Group is resorting to passing off these collection accounts to other collection agencies, such as a XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX, etc. Bureaus Investment Group claims to have acquired the accounts from XXXX XXXX, and this Bureaus Investment Group never contacted me to verify the debts. Last year when I requested copies of my credit reports from the credit bureaus, this is how I found out about these collection accounts being placed onto my credit files. Since last year I have disputed these wrongful collections against XXXX XXXX, and I have also disputed these wrongful collections, against Bureaus Investment Group. And although Bureaus Investment Group knows that they unlawfully placed these collection accounts onto my credit files, they have refused to remove them. Between both, Bureaus Investment Group, and XXXX XXXX, they are both listed on my credit files for the same wrongful collection debts, and due to this, my credit files are being slammed twice for these unlawful collections that I did not run up, nor owe. Both Bureaus Investment Group, and XXXX XXXX are intentionally making sure that they maliciously destroy my credit score, and rating. They have both, falsified status dates, on the collections that they have placed onto my credit files, such as activity in XXXX, and XXXX. They have done this so as to make it seem as though these are present debts that I have acquired, and that I have recently done business with XXXX XXXX, which is a lie. I have had nothing to do with XXXX XXXX going on almost two years. All of the status information that both XXXX XXXX, and Bureaus Investment Group are placing onto my credit files is unlawful, as well as untruthful. I want all communication from Bureaus Investment Group to go directly to the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau, and the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau can contact me. I want Bureaus Investment Group and its collection cohorts, to Cease and Desist from slandering my credit, as well as harassing me, I want no contact from them.

Okay, again, this is in rebuttal to the very offensive response to previous complaint # XXXX . So ... ..now I get the fraud kit and affadavit! It would have really been fine to just send me the information, especially when I first contacted you all back in XXXX WITHOUT the continued attack on my credibility and having a passive aggressive stance in your language in response. Funny how when I started this process, nobod y at TBI eve n suggested or tried to get this for me to help me out. Instead, it was a bunch of continuous grief, pulling teeth to get answers of which I never got because I could never get the purchase receipts or signed transactions indicating who exactly made purchases on this account ... and ... .subsequently paid on the account. I will submit the information as asked for by your company but I still keep asking the question over and over, " why was n't this suggested a long time ago? '' Lastly, and again, the language and offensive response is stil l one of calling me a liar and suggesting that whoever is responding to these complaints should be reviewed for ethical conduct and at minimum, be required to attend some sensitivity training and ethical conduct continued education. It seems this person seems to believe that he/she knows more about my life than I d o. TBI should either examine who they hire and who is entrusted to handle these complaints or do a deeper review and analysis of their company culture as a whole. I would suggest running all communications through your legal department and have someone more qualified than this person, make the next communication. Therefore, this complaint i s aimed directly at this individual in hopes that it does catch the attention of someone at TBI who should be paying attention. If this is the way that TBI handles their communications, well then, it is quite easy to see why they are on the target list for so many complaints and unethical and unprofessional behaviors. It should never be commonplace to attack the credibility of a consumer REGARDLESS of what a rogue individual 's opinions are or of what the culture of TBI supports in regard to this behavior. Therefore, it is my belief that it must be the overall culture of TBI due to the fact that an individual like this is left unsupervised to respond with this kind of attack and not be ashamed or even fearful of legal consequences. As mentioned, please have someone with a better understanding of sensitivity and professionalism contact me on the next response. It is my hope that CFPB is paying close attention to this thread!

I have a collection account on my credit report maintain under my Social Security number from a collection agency the Bureaus Inc stating I owe {$10000.00}. On XX/XX/XXXX I mailed them a certified letter formally requesting validation of the debt pursue to the Fair Debt Collection Practies Act. I requested validation that is competent evidence bearing my signature showing that I have or ever had some contractual obligation to pay them. I also stated that it is a violation of the Fair Debt Collection Practies Act if they can not verify the debt they must notify all XXXX credit bureau 's to remove/delete the entry. The United States Post Office had made two attempts to deliver a certified letter to Bureaus Inc address listed on my credit reports from XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX, IL XXXX. The United States post office returned a letter to me XX/XX/XXXX.I notify all XXXX credit bureau 's listed above in this complaint the address provided for ( Bureaus Inc ) by their agenciesand the post office was unable to deliver my certified letter that 's violating my due process of an adverse action as I was seeking to get information of this debt filed under my Social Security number. I asked all XXXX credit bureau 's to validate the information with Bureaus Inc and provide me with copies of any documentation associated with this account bearing my signature and stated to them in the absence of any such documentation bearing my signature I formally request that the information immediately be deleted from their credit file maintain under my security number. I also mentioned in my letter in accordance with section of statute 611 you are required to remove this account from my credit report as it is undeniable proof of and in accuracy of a reporting on my credit history. The three major credit bureaus stated that the information is correct upon looking at my credit reports Bureaus Inc updated my XXXX credit report on XX/XX/XXXX XXXX was updated on XX/XX/XXXX and XXXX what 's updated on XX/XX/XXXX. As verified how could Bureaus Inc validate my Debt and yet at the same time refuse to except my certified letter asking for verification and validation of any evidence bearing my signature of this account. I believe that Bureaus Inc is acting in bad faith, and not have complied with the Federal Trades Commission 15 USC 41, et seq. Subchapter V Debt Collector Practices. I feel that they are liable for willful noncompliance as per FCRA 807 false and misleading representation [ 15 USC 1962e ] for their unwillingness to except my certified letter requesting validation of the debt.

About one year ago, The Bureaus placed a collection on my credit report. This was originally a XXXX XXXX card, that was a XXXX store card. My father in law, XXXX XXXX opened the account soley, and only listed me as an authorized user. I did not sign for the card. My father in law passed away on XX/XX/XXXX. I was not notified of the balance on the account until this was placed on my account. I disputed this with XXXX, and XXXX XXXX and the company responded that the debt was valid. I called the number on my credit report associated with this debt. I did not reach the Bureaus, but reached XXXX XXXX. They stated they are a third party communicator for the Bureaus. I have 21 documented phone calls to this company requesting proof of signature to show I did not use this account. They stated on several occasions that they had requested this information from the Bureaus but it was never sent back. I then requested the original signature card to prove I didn't open the account or sign for anything. This has been requested twice, the last time being XX/XX/XXXX. I still have not received this, and XXXX XXXX is so frustrated with me calling that they gave me the number to the Bureaus. In the past, when you call the Bureaus, the phone loops you right back to XXXX XXXX. I have called the Bureaus 8 times in the last two weeks to obtain the signature card that was requested and never supplied, which violates the FCRA. They hung up on my twice, transferred me to XXXX XXXX twice, and never returned my calls. This invalid debt has stopped my refinance on my home. I have tried to resolve this several times under the law to no avail. I have requested proof of debt, and have requested the original paperwork when the account was opened even from XXXX XXXX. They stated they no longer have the documentation as the account was sold over 4 years ago. I have just disputed this with XXXX again, in hopes to get this corrected. I have followed all the rules, and have asked for documentation under the law. I have requested transcripts of recorded calls from XXXX XXXX, and have been told that I they can not release those. I am desperate to have this resolved. I supplied my father in laws death certificate to both collection agencies, and XXXX XXXX acknowledged that my name NEVER appeared on any statements, but refuses to send me a transcript of that phone conversation. They also refuse to send me transcripts for the calls in which I requested information that was NOT supplied within the 30 day period under the law.

Hi XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX ; Happy New Year! I was shocked when I reviewed my credit report this week and I found multiple inaccuracies on my credit report from the 3 major credit bureaus from a collection company that I never have dealt with before. I've attempted several times to ratify the issue with the original creditors and credit bureaus and they still reporting inaccurate, unverifiable information. I have disputed this item with the credit reporting agency and they reported you confirmed the account as valid. I honestly do not believe to ever have any relationship with this collection agency or original creditor. Also there are several inaccuracies with this account the way it's reporting and that's a total violation of FCRA and FDCPA laws and regulations. In a good faith effort to resolve the matter amicably, I must demand proof of this debt, specifically the alleged contract or other instrument bearing my signature, as well as proof of your authority in this matter. Absent such proof, you must correct any erroneous reports of this past debt as mine. I am writing to request that you please provide the following information : 1. Please evidence your authorization under 15 USC 1692 ( e ) and 15 USC 1692 ( f ) in this alleged matter. 2. What is your authorization of law for your collection of information? 3. What is your authorization of law for your collection of this alleged debt? 4. Please evidence your authorization to do business or operate in this state. 5. Please evidence proof of the alleged debt, including the alleged contract or other instrument bearing my signature. 6. Please provide a complete account history, including any charges added for collection activity. You have 30 days upon receipt of this letter to provide strict proof of contract. In the event you can not provide strict proof of contract, you must cease and desist any and all collection efforts and immediately remove any derogatory information reported to the consumer reporting agencies. In addition, you will need to provide me your agreement, in writing, that you are closing your file, ceasing collecting activity, and deleting all information related to this reference number from any and all credit reports youve furnished the information to. In the event you transfer this account to an attorney without providing proof of contract, and proving your claim, he/she will be immediate reported to the America Bar Association and Professional Liability Fund for code of ethics violations.

My name is XXXX XXXX, a federally protected consumer, and I am making this complaint against The Bureaus , Inc. for committing identity theft. I have never given The Bureaus , Inc. any permission to use any of my identifying information to commit mail fraud or aggravated identity theft by contacting me about an alleged debt they claim I owe. I am aware that in accordance with Article 9, the assignment of a defaulted note is illegal. Both the assignee and the assigned are both liable for violations under 15 USC 1692e ( 12 ). I have not validated any alleged debt with The Bureaus, Inc., and my failure to dispute the validity of the alleged debt shall not be construed as an admission of liability. I have yet to receive any documentary evidence, such as a trilateral contract, giving The Bureaus , Inc. any right to collect on this alleged debt. It is in my belief that The Bureaus , Inc. are attempting unlawful extortionate activities and theft by deception by attempting to furnish false and deceptive forms. I have never received any documentation requesting validation from The Bureaus , Inc. before they committed multiple violations under the FCRA and the FDCPA by furnishing this alleged debt to my consumer reports including but not limited to 15 USC 1692d ( 4 ) which the FTC defines as debt parking. If The Bureaus, Inc. can not provide me with proof, such as a tracking number, that they attempted to lawfully validate this alleged debt with me, the consumer, prior to furnishing it on my consumer report, this has been a fraudulently furnished account with the forethought and malice as an attempt to bring harm to me and my financial reputation. I am legally refusing to pay this debt pursuant to 15 USC 1692c ( c ). I am demanding a cease and desist of all legal activity, communication, and collection activity of this and any alleged debts until The Bureaus, Inc. can provide me with sufficient documentary evidence that I gave any legal obligation to pay them. If this documentation evidence can not be produced and The Bureaus , Inc. continues its collection efforts, I will file for litigation for actual damages caused and The Bureaus, Inc. will be held criminally liable for aggravated identity theft pursuant to 18 USC 1028A, extortion, theft by deception, securities fraud, and mail fraud. Upon the receipt of the documents herein and of this notice, you are now hereby notified Pursuant UCC 1-202f. Your prompt attention and response are both requested and required.

In the later part of XX/XX/2020, I pulled my credit report from all three credit bureaus. After reviewing my report, I noticed The Bureaus INC was reporting, negative and erroneous items to the credit bureaus. The Bureaus INC actions have negatively impacted my personal credit report. On XX/XX/2020 I sent a Validation letter to The Bureaus INC ( Letter Attached ) On XX/XX/2020 by certified mail the letter was delivered to The Bureaus INC Tracking # XXXX ( Tracking Information Attached ) In XX/XX/XXXX I received a response letter from The Bureaus INC. In the Validation Letter that was sent to The Bureaus INC, I stated that this is a notice sent pursuant to the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act, 15 USC 1692g Sec. 809 { b } that your claim is disputed, and validation is requested. I respectfully request that your offices provide me with competent evidence that I have any legal obligation to pay you. Please provide me with the following : Prove the Statute of Limitations has not expired on this account : Show me that you are licensed to collect in my state : Provide me with your license numbers and Registered Agent or Agent of Service : After reviewing The Bureaus INC response letter, I noticed that The Bureaus INC didnt provide their Bond or License. These are required in Texas and is a clear violation of Texas State Laws. Section 392.101 of the Texas Finance Code : Prohibits a third-party debt collector or credit bureau from engaging in debt collection in Texas unless the third-party debt collector or credit bureau has obtained a surety bond and filed a copy of the bond with the Office of the Secretary of State. So, I went to the Texas Secretary of State website and entered The Bureaus INC name and address. I also went to Collection Agency Licensing website, to see if a collection agency had to be bonded and licensed to collect debt in Texas. ( Screenshot attached ) Im very concerned with the tactics that The Bureaus INC has displayed, and the misleading afforded to collect in a state where they are not bonded nor licensed. This is a clear State violation, FDCPA and FCRA violations. FDCPA Section 1692e 807. False or misleading representations A debt collector may not use any false, deceptive, or misleading representation or means in connection with the collection of any debt. We can clearly see that The Bureaus INC had violated FDCPA, FCRA, Texas Secretary of State Section 392.101 of the Texas Finance Code and me the consumer.

I XXXX XXXX wish to file a formal complaint with each pertinent credit reporting agency, XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX collectively. A debt collection agency known as The Bureaus is involved in what will eventually be exposed as the largest financial scam against American consumers. What The Bureaus, located at XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX have done, and probably are doing on a much larger scale, is designating themselves as debt buyers from collection debt information referred through debt pool information affiliations. The original debtor was XXXX XXXX XXXX and without going into a very detailed outline of what entity owns the debt, I assure you that my credit card debt was pooled with a one billion plus dollar securitization. At no time was The Bureaus in a position to own this debt, and for that matter, The Bureaus has clouded their scan even deeper by stating that the debt was acquired by Bureaus Investment Group No. 15, which is affiliated as a sister company of The Bureaus, see Abeyewardene v. Bureaus Investment Group Portfolio No 15, LLC (2:13-cv-00917), District Court, C.D. California. This is a scam not only perpetuated against a consumer, but upon challenging the validity of the debt, The Bureaus came back as VERIFIED AS ACCURATE. Now the plot thickens, as the very same debt was supposedly purchased by XXXX XXXX XXXX and eventually I settled with that agency, even though XXXX could not prove ownership. So how can two debt buyers purchase the same debt at the same time? The truth is, The Bureaus never had any position on this debt, and this debt buyer/debt collection agency has voided its responsibility to its subscriber agreement with every credit reporting agency. They are scammers to a fault, and their licensing agreement with each credit reporting agency should be pulled immediately. The collection items must be removed, and the Federal Trade Commission along with the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau must step in and take legal action against The Bureaus and their affiliated businesses. P.S. There are no less that 54 current lawsuits found through XXXX against Bureaus Investment Group No. 15, and this must give the credit reporting agencies a huge red flag on The Bureaus licensing.

After reviewing my credit report, I noticed The Bureaus, INC was reporting on 3 alleged debts on my 3 credit profiles. I contacted this company with a Debt Validation on XX/XX/2021 via certified mail. They were in receipt of these letters on XX/XX/2021 at XXXX XXXX. The Bureaus responded with based on the records of their clients, they were able to provide me with information. How did you verify these alleged debts? Who did you interview? What department and personnel did you speak with with? This is not providing any proof that these are my alleged debts. Pursuant 15 USC 1681a ( e ) The term investigative consumer report means a consumer report or portion thereof in which information on a consumers character, general reputation, personal characteristics, or mode of living is obtained through personal interviews with neighbors, friends, or associates of the consumer reported on or with others with whom he is acquainted or who may have knowledge concerning any such items of information. And may I remind you that none of this information can be factual. I may also add that this company is in violation of my federally protected rights too in response to me. 15 USC B ( 5 ) which states that not use any language or symbol on any envelope or in the contents of any communication effected by the mails or telegram that indicates that the debt collector is in the debt collection business or that the communication relates to the collection of a debt. This was violated 3 times. I later respond with second letters on XXXX via certified mail requesting an original signed contract showing I have business with The Bureaus, INC which they received on XX/XX/2021 at XXXX XXXX. They responded to only 1 request and never responded to the 2 other letters. Again My rights were violated through 15 USC B ( 5 ). I have no business with this company. I have never consented to contract with The Bureaus INC, nor gave them permission to breach my privacy. I am aware that I am a Natural Consumer and original creditor. This company has violated my rights in tune can carry up to {$1000.00} per violation. These alleged debts must be deleted from all 3 credit profiles.

I XXXX XXXX have tried to bring to the attention with each credit bureau that there has been a fraudulent claim to an old XXXX XXXX account by a fourth party that clearly has committed identity theft from a third-party debt buyer. This agency has also claimed that they represent a debt buyer known as Bureaus Investment Group No. 15. I claimed that not only did this debt get purchased by this company, but they in turn took my debt information and processed a debt collection application to another debt collection agency known as The Bureaus. I hereby post all XXXX XXXX accounts from a XXXX XXXX credit bureau posted XX/XX/2017. My accounts show as follows : Account ending in XXXX shows settled less than full balance, balance XXXX, account ending in XXXX, balance {$460.00} ( This is the account stated sold to both XXXX XXXX XXXX and Bureaus Investment Group No. 15 ), account ending in XXXX paid in full, XXXX balance closed by consumer, account ending in XXXX, paid in full, XXXX balance. This accounting proves that I only had one unpaid account with XXXX XXXX. Yet I believe that The Bureaus obtained my information by identity theft, either through XXXX XXXX XXXX database, or directly from XXXX XXXX. It is difficult to believe that a publicly traded company such as XXXX XXXX would be XXXX enough to sell the same debt twice. Accordingly, I claim identity theft by The Bureaus from either XXXX XXXX XXXX or from XXXX XXXX directly. I paid my XXXX XXXX account directly with XXXX XXXX XXXX. My disputes with The Bureaus went nowhere, where this fraudulent company stated to the bureaus that the XXXX XXXX debt purchase/collection was valid. This is an insult to the prestige on the national credit reporting system, XXXX, XXXX and XXXX XXXX collectively. Each bureau must see through this scam and delete this erroneous collection information permanently and take away all reporting rights from The Bureaus, with principal offices located at XXXX XXXX XXXX, XXXX XXXX, XXXX, IL XXXX ( XXXX ) XXXX. This is a shameful act against an American consumer. Each credit bureau must see through this scam and delete this negative information permanently. XXXX XXXX

CFPB Complaint : XX/XX/2020 This complaint is in regards to a Credit Card Debt Collection. The collection agency is identified as The Bureaus, formally known as The Bureaus Inc. I am the sole individual involved in this matter. On XX/XX/2020, I sent a certified letter asking for debt validation to 'The Bureaus Inc ' to their specified address online : XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX IL XXXX. On XX/XX/2020, I was informed via USPS tracking that the letter was not deliverable and also unable to forward. After some extensive research, I was finally able to locate a second possible address for The Bureaus, who no longer identified themselves as The Bureaus Inc. On XX/XX/2020, I proceeded to resend my certified letter to The Bureaus at address : XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX, IL XXXX. As stated in my debt validation request, I am allowing the company 30 days to respond. In actuality, I allowed more than 30 days for the company to respond. On XX/XX/2020, after not receiving any response from the company, I decided to phone The Bureaus at XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX and requested proof that my verification letter was in fact, received. After validating my identity and locating my account, the operator was able to confirm that my letter had been received on XX/XX/2020. It was also confirmed by the operator that a follow-up letter had not been sent out via mail to me. I requested to speak with a supervisor, and the operator informed me that she was unable to transfer me to speak to someone at The Bureaus directly. Her reasoning, because she did not work for The Bureaus. The operator whom I was speaking to, actually worked for another company, subcontractor for The Bureaus. Considering all conversations are recorded, I accepted her rebuttal that she would reach out to The Bureaus, and inform them of my request to have my debt permanently removed from all 3 credit agencies. On XX/XX/2020, I received a debt verification letter from Bureaus Investment Group Portfolio NO 15 LLC regarding a debt of {$300.00} from the original debtor, XXXX XXXX XXXX. Their letter falsely states that I requested a validation of debt on XX/XX/XXXX, XXXX complaint

I received a collection letter from XXXX XXXX XXXX on behalf of the Bureaus Investment Group Portfolio No 15 LLC. I asked for a settlement. The agent stated {$450.00} was the least they would accept. I paid {$400.00} by check and set up another check deduction on XX/XX/2021 for {$58.00}. On XX/XX/2021, I called and requested a letter stating the dispute was settled. The representative stated he would put in a request to email the letter and I will receive it by XX/XX/2021. I received a letter stating I owed {$130.00}. On XX/XX/2021, I went in online and paid the {$130.00}, I called the company on XX/XX/2021 and asked why they were not honoring the settlement. The representative XXXX XXXX said, it was an error and the account was settled and closed. I requested a settlement letter via email. I was informed that I would receive it in a couple of hours. She advised me to call again about the payment I submitted online because it has not processed. On XX/XX/2021, I got an alert from all 3 credit bureaus that I had a collection from XXXX XXXX for {$80.00}. I called XXXX XXXX and spoke with a collection manager named XXXX. He stated that I settled the account and did not pay it in full. He told me to stop talking and listen. I asked why would you give me a settlement then report that I owe {$80.00}. It makes no sense. I never received a receipt or letter stating the account was settled. I explained that I paid {$130.00} from the letter after you agreed to give me a settlement. He became frustrated and aggressive with me and emailed me a letter with the final payment amount of {$58.00} and balance due {$80.00}. I called thee additional times in effort to speak with his boss. They were answering the phone and not saying anything. I repeatedly said hello. This company is deceptive and misleading. The representative settled the account now they are reporting me as having a collection to the credit bureaus. I asked XXXX for the XXXX number and he gave me XXXX. Which is not a number. I have valid concerns and the company refuses to be honest. They are being evasive and giving me the run around.

The Bureaus Inc. continues to blatantly report an inaccurate, unverifiable entry on my credit reports. The entry on my reports reflect that The Bureaus Inc. reported this entry XX/XX/2017 on my credit report, yet they did not provide any communication to me prior to inserting on my credit reports. No dunning letter was received from this company. I have never did any business with this company, nor have I ever heard of the company. The payment history reported on this account lacks veracity. They report no payment history on XXXX and XXXX ; however, they report payment history on XXXX. I never entered into an agreement with this company, yet they are reporting a negative payment each month? Additionally, this collection account reflects terms. There are no terms on collection accounts. This is a violation of consumer law. Additionally, I have attempted on numerous occasions to gain clarity and insight on this erroneous entry. My first disputes were with each of the credit bureaus and the responses provided from each bureau reflected that the entry was verified by The Bureaus Inc. To that end, I sent a letter to The Bureaus Inc. ( See attached letter ). This letter has been sent to both addresses reflected on my multiple reports, including XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX, IL XXXX and XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX, XXXX, IL XXXX. To date, this company has not provided any documentation bearing my signature or proving the of the validity of every entry they are continuing to report. This company has had months to respond to me with the anything that verifies this account indeed belongs to me ; yet they have not. Consumer law provides that the creditor/company is expected to respond to your claim within 30 to 45 days and to inform you of the results of its investigation within five business days. It is obvious that The Bureaus Inc. has no intent to honor nor respond to my previous disputes ; therefore, in the absence of them not responding with any documentation, with signatures, to substantiate the alleged debt, this entry must be removed from my credit report immediately.

After informing THE BUREAUS INC that they violated my rights by changing the comment on my credit bureau to say " Seriously past due date / assigned to attorney, collection agency, or credit grantor 's internal collection department '', they then requested proof of my claim. They ignored thier own comment they placed on my credit report, and ignored the screen shot of the comment i sent them of the offending comment. Rather than ceasing reporting, they sent me a 50 page binder, that did not have a single signature, or any information proving that I owed the debt. After receiving thier response, I attempted to call them 7 times to directly speak with them about their response, everytime I was connected to a line that said they were having technical difficulties, and then the line disconnected. The fcra gives me permission to speak directly to them reguarding the debt. Refusing to speak with me by transfering me to a line that disconnects is a violation of the fcra. Saying that they were sending the debt to an attorney, is a violation of the fair debt collection practices act. This will be my last attempt to resolve this issue with the company directly. If this item continues to show on my credit report after 30days I will be contacting the ftc to notify them of the violations. I've asked 5 times for a document with my signature on it verifying that I opened the account, and to prove it wasnt the result of identity theft. They have failed to provide it, despite having responded to 5 disputes requesting the info. The only thing they have sent me is a blank binder with no signatures any where on it, failing to prove that the debt was opened by me. They violated the fair debt collection practices act by saying that the debt was transferred to an attorney. They violated the fcra by not communicating with me reguarding the debt when I called them on 7 separate occasions. Reporting of the item is a violation of my rights and must cease. Remove from all credit bureaus, and cease all debt collection attempts.

The alleged debt is well over 12 years old or more. We believe the debt was discharged in a bankruptcy but if not, was most definitely written off at least that long ago. We had not heard from XXXX : XXXX XXXX or the alleged current creditor Bureaus Investment Group Portfolio NO 15 LLC for over 11 years and suddenly in XX/XX/XXXX we got a notice from a collection company about the alleged debt seeking a settlement offer. At the bottom of this notice it said " because of the age of your debt you can not be sued for it and it can not be reported to credit reporting agency. '' When we talked to a paralegal friend we were told that if we submit any kind of response whatsoever, it will permit them to reinstate the claim on our credit record and have another 6 years to try to collect it. Therefore, we did not respond despite getting a new notice every few months. In XX/XX/XXXX we got a notice from a new collection company for the same alleged debt seeking to collect this alleged debt. On their statement was included the same information stating that due to the age of our debt we can not be sued and it can not be reported against us. And that making a partial payment will allow them to report back to our credit and reopen the account. Again we did not respond. Now today, XX/XX/XXXX we got a letter from yet another collection agency on this alleged debt threatening to sue and accusing of being is severe default on the account. No where on this new letter does it say we can not be sued due to the age of this debt. We have reason to believe that Bureaus Investment Group has reported this against our credit now and has illegally invoked collection practices on an account that was written off or filed in a bankruptcy over 12 years ago. The law states if we submit a claim denying we owe the account or anything that will cause the collection company to have to verify the company can then start the 6 years over and sue us for the debt. So we do not know how to resolve this without having this debt reinstated.

hello I am attempting to resolve issues I am having with debts being reported on my credit report that does not belong to me. The creditors bon my credit report were made aware that I was a victim of identity theft in 2019. I reported the identity theft incident along with notifying the registering through the ftc, gov to file a report. I recently re- requested debt validation of the fraudulent debt being serviced by the bureaus and was instead sent a manila envelope where inside i found XXXX months of a credit card statement from XXXX XXXX that has my name on it. These photocopies are of an account that Ive never seen nor used. This print out was not from the current agency. They just sent papers from the previous debt servicer with my name and a previous address. This is not authentic proof to compel anyone with common sense into being secure in ownership The bureaus is attempting to collect {$480.00} from me. for a XXXX XXXX account they say ive opened. This along with other accounts were opened in my name during my senior year of high school. Not only are the trying to collect a debt I did not create, the company reuses to provide real debt validation information to include the original contract or affidavit showing that I allegedly signed to establish the account. It can not exist as this is idenity theft and not mine. They have the burden of proof. My rights have been violated, this account should reflect that it is in dispute. It does not that is a XXXX fine penalty. The account is being listed on all major bureaus improperly, as an open collection I have not established any credit or entered into a contract with them to have an open collection with the bureaus account. with a balance due. the deceptive way the debt is being reported is causing more damage than necessary. I ask that you help me encourage the bureaus collection agency do what is right and remove this erroneous information from my credit file. thank you in advance XXXX XXXX

Upon checking my credit report on XX/XX/XXXX, it has come to my attention that Bureaus Investment Group has reported to all the credit reporting agencies such as XXXX, XXXX & XXXX that I'm not making any payments where in, XXXX XXXX XXXX, XXXX has forwarded my account to Collections which is XXXX XXXX XXXX amounting to {$5900.00}. Thereafter, the account was settled in the amount of {$2900.00} around XX/XX/XXXX. Settlement agreement stated that XXXX XXXX XXXX accepted the settlement amount less than in full account balance as long as the payments were made in accordance with the negotiated terms. As of present I never been late and still continue to pay XXXX XXXX XXXX {$170.00} every end of the month which comply to the payment agreement. From XX/XX/XXXX to XX/XX/XXXX, the total payments made was {$1500.00} and the remaining balance should be {$1300.00}. XXXX XXXX XXXX, XXXX should update their records in regular basis & correct all the discrepancy that reflects on my credit report. Original Creditor Is XXXX XXXX. On XX/XX/XXXX, I have contacted the XXXX XXXX XXXX to bring this problem and was told to contact XXXX XXXX XXXX since they are the one responsible in reporting the account to the credit reporting agencies. I did call XXXX XXXX XXXX but they have declined to help me and told me to cal XXXX XXXX XXXX instead because they are the ones who negotiated the account. I feel like a ping pong ball that time, people pass me through the other & the other pass me through another person. In the end I got no help. On the same day I have contacted all the credit reporting agencies such as XXXX, XXXX & XXXX to report the discrepancy on my account and advised me to submit requirements together with a formal complaint letter which I did the same day. I am requesting that the discrepancy stated above be thoroughly investigated and be corrected as soon as possible. I also request that XXXX send me a notice in writing that they have already fix the problem.

I contacted The Bureaus to pay off a debt. The person that answered the phone did not tell me her name. She was extremely rude and disrespectful. She said she could not work with me under the circumstances and I asked for the fax number. She said I did n't need the fax number and argued with me when I insisted on having the fax number. Then, before her response was audible, she hung up on me. I called again, and spoke to someone that referred to herself as " XXXX ''. She was also very disrespectful after I told her what the how the other associate had treated me. I asked her for the fax number. She gave it to me and hung up on me. Then, I called back and asked to speak to a Supervisor. " XXXX '' answered again. She told me there was no Supervisor. I asked her how they ran a business without a Supervisor. She asked if she could help me. I asked, " Are you a Supervisor? '' She answered, No. I said, " Then you ca n't help me. I 'd like to speak to a Supervisor. '' She refused. She said that no one was available. I asked her when someone would be available. She asked why I had an attitude. I told her it was because she was refusing to let me speak to a Supervisor. She said, " I already told you no one was available. '' I said, " When will someone be available? '' She said, " Tomorrow morning, '' and then she hung up the phone. All I wanted was to pay my debt and they were completely unwilling to work with me. They were rude, disrespectful and they hung up on me a total of four times. They knew who was calling, because I put in my social security number, and the first time they answered, they asked if I was XXXX XXXX. I responded yes. So that tells me that the prompt to enter my social security number immediately told the person that answered the call my name. So, the 2nd and the 3rd time that I called and they hung up on me, that let 's me know that they knew who it was that had called. This experience was humiliating and upsetting.

My complaint is against the The Bureaus Inc. They are falsely representing themselves as a debt collector & attorney on my XXXX credit report. By doing so they are in violation of Federal Credit Reporting laws that prohibits a debt collection from falsely representing themselves as attorneys. They are in clear violation of 15 USC 1692f that the FTC very clearly spells out that " A debt collector may not use any false, deceptive, or misleading representation or means in connection with the collection of any debt ''. They are also still in violation of the NORTH CAROLINA DEBT COLLECTION ACT, NC.GENERAL STATUTE.CODE 58-70-01 et seq. which prohibits a debt collector or credit bureau from engaging in debt collection in North Carolina unless the debt collector or credit bureau has obtained a surety bond and filed a copy of the bond with the Office of the Secretary of StateXXXX As of today " The Bureaus Inc '' does not have such bond listed with the NC Secretary of State. They are also in violation of NC. GENERAL.STATUTE.58-70-50 which requires a collection agency place its permit number, true name and address to all correspondence sent to the debtor. They failed to include their permit number on their correspondence dated XX/XX/22, and this is a clear violation of NC debt collection laws. I am attempting to resolve this issue with them, if they do not remedy this egregious violation by removing the negative tradeline from all three credit bureaus, I will be seeking all legal remedies available to me in this matter. I'm attaching a copy of my XXXX report showing them falsely claiming to be attorney 's. I'm also attaching a copy of their website that shows they are not attorneys. And I am attaching a copy of the correspondence they sent to me that does not have their permit number on the correspondence they mailed out, which is required by law in North Carolina.

The debit is from prior to XX/XX/XXXX. XXXX XXXX from XXXX XXXX XXXX, who is collecting on behalf of The Bureaus, disputed this with me so I requested documentation proving the age of the debt. The only thing they provided was a old credit card statement from XX/XX/XXXX that shows a prior balance and interest owed. I called XXXX back to tell him the document has no proof of date of purchase, he replied " I know but that's the only documentation we have ''. I went on to remind him that the debt is greater than 7 years old and he said he knew that and said he told that to The Bureaus. I told him this needs to be removed from my credit, he said XXXX XXXX XXXX can't do that I needed to contact The Bureaus and gave me the phone number. He went on to say he would note in my account again that this item is in dispute due to statute of limitation being expired. I tried calling The Bureaus but I can never get a person because their phone lines are always full. Instead, I get a voicemail to leave my name and number for them to call back, but they never call back. I find it interesting that these companies can negatively impact a person 's credit but don't have to take any action to correct it in a timely manner once proven wrong. We, the individuals impacted, have spend hours trying to find someone to talk to only to get no where because no one mandates them to follow the law. In this case, The Bureaus bought the old debt from XXXX XXXX ( who already sent me a letter stating that the debt was too old to collect and therefore being removed from my credit ). The Bureau then hired XXXX XXXX XXXX to collect on their behalf but they can't do anything to solve issues so back to The Bureaus I must go. This is a broken cycle of voice prompts, nasty - disrespectful individuals, unethical companies and no resolution to something that impacts ones entire life.

XXXX XXXX hired The Bureaus Inc, to collection on a debt that I allegedly owe for {$1100.00}. At this time the Bureaus, Inc and I have been unable to come up with an agreement on the account. Respectfully, the Bureaus, Inc has hired XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX to collect the amount allegedly owed. 1- On XX/XX/XXXX, I have offered to settle this account with XXXX XXXX XXXX for $ XXXXXXXX XXXXXXXX XXXX XXXX declined to accept my offer 2- XX/XX/XXXX, I spoke with XXXX XXXX XXXX and s/w XXXX @ ext XXXX 3- Today, XXXX XXXX XXXX has done the ultimate collection practices with borderlines extortion, harassment and intimidation 4- XXXX XXXX XXXX advised that they will only do a settlement offer with me for {$650.00} for TODAY and TODAY only for payment over the telephone. 5- I advised XXXX XXXX XXXX that I would settle the account for {$500.00} and that the only way I feel comfortable with any transacations is for them to send me a settlement agreement via USPS to my address of record, in turn if the agreement is satisfactory- then I will mail them an online bill payment check though my bank with certified funds. This way I feel comfortable about them not having my financial information and they would have certified funds. 6- the Manager of XXXX XXXX then began his intimidation and harassment practices. The Manager began to tell me that IF I do not pay him today the {$650.00} then the next time if and when I call to pay it is going to be {$900.00}. I wish for XXXX XXXX to refrain from calling me and I will either deal with the original credit only. This is harassment intimidation and extortion. I was at work in front of patients to the point I was almost crying while he was basically demeaning me. This is illegal collection practices. I have tried on multiple occasions to reach the bureaus without any success of talking to any represtative at XXXX

Also, I, the federally protected consumer, never gave The Bureaus, INC permission to have my personal information, that is a violation of my right to privacy, pursuant to 15 USC 1692 ( a ).

They are violating 18 USC 1028 by unlawfully transferring my authentication feature ( social security number ) electronically.

I FILED XXXX BECAUSE OF THE FRAUD. YOUR COMPANY FILED A XXXX CLAIM IN THE AMOUNT OF XXXX. I WAS PROVIDED WITH THE AMOUNT WHICH WAS PAID TO YOUR COMPANY BY YOUR XXXX XXXX.

I WILL COMPARE IT TO THE AMOUNT QUOTED TO ME. IT APPEARS COURT STAFF HAS ENGAGED IN UNETHICAL ACTIVITIES AS THE SITUATION AND NUMBER ARE NOT ADDING UP. THIS TRUSTEE HAS ALSO UTILIZED THIS SAME COMPANY TO COLLECT ON FRAUD CC ACCOUNTS WHICH IS VERY SUSPICIOUS. NONE WERE PAID BUT XXXX, BUT WHEN I SPOKE TO EACH XXXX XXXX A NUMBER WAS GIVEN WHICH, WAS COMPLETELY DIFFERENT. THIS INDICATES THIS IS AN INTERNAL OPERATION.

In XX/XX/2016, I became aware of some old collection amounts that were generated from an unauthorized user pertaining to the mentioned account. I was told by local police jurisdiction that not much could be done but that I could file an affidavit stating my case for the purpose of record. For the purpose of filing a recorded affidavit and attempting to obtain the information necessary, I spoke to XXXX from The Bureaus collection agency on XX/XX/XXXX and requested itemized charges relating to the time period in question. He said he does not have access to the original information from the creditor. To which I asked, how is it then that the credit bureaus keep reporting that your agency continues to verify the debt? His response was that collection agencies and lenders are only required to verify identity and common and general information. Does n't sound like any verifying is really going on at all? Especially in relation to why I am requesting information. Nevertheless, I requested the information. He said he could not oblige me. He was only doing his job but did say he could put a comment in for the record ... and he did. I of course still have received anything as of the time of this comment. I have subsequently raised the dispute issue with all XXXX credit reporting bureaus requesting conformity in trying to obtain this information as well. My understanding of the attempt to dispute resulted in nothing more than the bureaus validating common and general information of my identity to validate debt ... .and then subsequently standardized a generic dispute response that " creditor meets FCRA requirements ''. This process is broken and unethical and heavily favors the relationship between bureaus and collection agencies, lenders and creditors.

On XX/XX/22 I sent a formal request via certified mail to The Bureaus Inc regarding a collection account they are reporting under my social security number. I requested validation, made pursuant to the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act and the Fair Credit Reporting Act, along with the corresponding local North Carolina laws. as well as competent evidence bearing my signature, showing that I have ( or ever had ) some contractual obligation to pay them. They are also in violation of the NORTH CAROLINA DEBT COLLECTION ACT, NC.GENERAL STATUTE.CODE XXXX et seq. which prohibits a debt collector or credit bureau from engaging in debt collection in North Carolina unless the debt collector or credit bureau has obtained a surety bond and filed a copy of the bond with the Office of the Secretary of State. The NORTH CAROLINA DEBT COLLECTION ACT ( NCDCA ) defines a debt collector as any person who directly or indirectly engages in debt collection and further applies to creditors attempting to collect their own debts. NC. GENERAL.STATUTE. CODE XXXX ( b ). Furthermore, NC. GENERAL.STATUTE.XXXX states that a person, firm, corporation or association conducting or operating a collection agency without the permit shall be guilty of a class I felony. As of today XX/XX/22 they are in violation of NORTH CAROLINA DEBT COLLECTION ACT, NC. GENERAL.STATUTE.CODE XXXX et seq. as well as the DECEPTIVE TRADE PRACTICES-CONSUMER PROTECTION ACT, SUBCHAPTER E.

I have sent XXXX letters ( attached ) to the Bureaus Inc. asking for validation in accordance with the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act 803 Definitions 15 USC 1692A. This would include a copy of the original contract from the original creditor - XXXX XXXX - bearing my signature. I have never received that. They sent a doc showing that they bought a bundle of debt from XXXX XXXX, and they claim XXXX XXXX is the original creditor but that is a lie. XXXX XXXX is the original creditor. Where is the original contract with my signature from XXXX XXXX saying I ever agreed to pay an assigned debt collector? They obviously do n't have it so they are breaking the law reporting me negatively to the credit bureaus. Further, if they believe XXXX XXXX is the original creditor, let 's see a contract with my name on it from XXXX XXXX. It does n't exist because XXXX XXXX is not the original creditor. This is not about whether or not I ever had a XXXX XXXX credit card. This is about whether or not I owe the Bureaus Inc. any money, and they have shown me no proof that I owe them one dime. Without my signature on the original creditor contract that shows I will ever agree to pay an assigned debt collector, the Bureaus is breaking the law by negatively reporting me to the Credit Bureaus. This is my last and final attempt to allow them to remove this item PERMANENTLY from all XXXX credit bureaus before I file a claim in small claims court in XXXX XXXX where I live, for $ XXXX. They will have to fly out from Illinois to deal with this and incur great costs and they will lose because they are breaking the law. I want this removed immediately, it is causing me great financial hardship. Thank you for your help!

They had also not deleted the account from my Credit Report and the language used on the letter had violated several consumer laws. This letter was sent via certified mail ( USPS tracking number XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX ) and a return receipt was also included. I received a return receipt signed that The Bureaus Inc received my letter on the XX/XX/2021 As of today, XX/XX/2021, I have not heard back from The Bureaus Inc, and they are still reporting the collection account on my Credit Report. How am I supposed to pay an account that can not be properly validated? This could possibly be a fraudulent account that they can't even prove is mine. I asked for a signed contract and nothing has been provided. I need your help resolving this as I'm not getting anywhere with this company?

On XX/XX/21 at XXXX am XXXX XXXX of XXXX XXXX contacted regarding a collection account. I advised Mr. XXXX since this is his first time contacting me that I was uncomfortable verifying my information. First, he only mentioned the name of the company but asked for me to verify last 4 of ssn, address, and date of birth. Stating to him that I needed to know who he was with and the matter he became aggressive with his tone and stated he already told me XXXX XXXX. Upon him giving the type of account I asked that he provide me via mail a verification of debt. In an aggressive tone he stated I had already gotten this information and he would send via email. I advised no email to send to and he cut me off mid sentence. Stated that this is not the first time I have been contacted regarding this account and he would tell the lender that I am uncooperative and threatened next course of action. I advised Mr. XXXX that I am at work and can not talk at the moment. He became irrate and said since this matter isn't important to me he would proceed with the next actions. Throughout the conversation I asked why was he continuing to cut me off mid sentence and threatening next action when this is his first time contacting me. After being overtalked for so long I asked for a supervisor. I advised him that I was at work and provided an alternate phone number. This company representatives continued to talk when I clearly stated I could not talk. Very aggressive and threatens next action when you ask for their credentials and verification of a debt prior to paying. This is my right as a consumer and in todays society it would be foolish to provide any personal information to complete strangers.

My name is XXXX XXXX and I am submitting new information as my rights have been violated and cfpb needs to make this company respect the law. This is related to case # XXXX Under section 623 ( a ) ( 1 ) ( B ) of the Fair Credit Reporting Act, 15U.S.C. 1681s-2 ( a ) ( 1 ) ( B ) once I submitted my Affidavit Of Identity theft form, that I have sent over to this company more than once now, this account was supposed to be removed and closed out. The most they have done is shown my balance is XXXX. That is fine, but that does help my situation. Under the Fair Credit Reporting Act, I am supposed to be protected against negative remarks that have been placed with the CRA 'S per this fraudulent account. since the company has had more then 30 days to remove this account due to me being protected under 15U.S.C. 1681s-2 ( a ) ( 1 ) ( B ), I now want CFPB to enforce this law and demand this account be removed from all Cra 's . The company has already stated the balance is XXXX, and account has been discharged. so there is no harm in removing this negative account from my profile, especially if I state the account is Fraudulent and have filled out affidavit stating so and under 15U.S.C. 1681s-2 ( a ) ( 1 ) ( B ) I am suppose to be protected. So demand removal asap and updated reports be sent out once completed. Next step would be to file complaint with state attorney office and press charges against this company for discrimination and completely violating my rights and pursuing to report fraudulent activity on my account.

I have several complaints, I sent a debt Verification Request and a written cease of communication notice ( limited to mail only ) to The Bureaus Inc. on XXXX XXXX, 2016. As of today they have not responded to my request in writing however, they hired a second collection agency called XXXX XXXX , XXXX. When I was contacted by XXXX XXXX XXXX on XXXX XXXX, 2016 they claimed to represent XXXX XXXX and were trying to collect a debt on their behalf. My husband and I informed them I was n't aware XXXX XXXX XXXX on our credit report and was transfered to a supervisor. The supervisor then informed us that XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX. is trying collect for XXXX XXXX. We informed him that the only XXXX XXXX collection that we aware of is the one owned by The Bureaus Inc. and informed them that we sent them a request for Validation and written cease of telephone communications. We asked if The Bureaus Inc. sold the debt to XXXX XXXX and he informed me that they work on " behalf '' of The Bureaus Inc. and that they are their clients. We then asked why they were stating they were working on behalf of the Original Creditor XXXX XXXX because both he and the original caller stated they were calling on behalf of XXXX XXXX. The Bureaus is using another collection agency to collect a debt on their behalf, even though this agency is claiming to work for the XXXX XXXX. The Bureaus Inc. was given a request for Validation and a written cease of communication and are using another agency to communicate illegally.

I've been disputing fraud accounts on my credit report since XX/XX/2021. I keep sending multiple sets of letters to the bureaus and the creditors so the excuse of " we didn't get it '' doesn't happen. Furthermore, each letter is certified mail with tracking and each letter shows signed and delivered and yet the bureaus are still not taking any actions. The accounts are not showing in dispute nor are they removed from my report. The accounts always show up with different name variations and different account number variations and yet the bureaus seem to ignore the trend and let these fraud accounts affect my credit score. I have requested the investigation to be initiated and also verifiable proof to be submitted should the account claim to be mine. Not only have I not received any mail showing the verifiable proofs needed to justify the accounts to be on my report, I haven't even received any letters at all stating the investigations have begun. Per the FCRA and federal law, the process is supposed to be 30 days. XXXX days later, I'm still here shelling out money for certified mail with no end in sight and no results to show. This is my last option before I take this up with my lawyers and sue for full compensations and damages incurred. Finally, it seems that when these complaints are submitted, the bureaus are using the excuse that they " can't confirm my identity '' to get away with taking no actions on my credit report. Please investigate this as well.

Hi, for the past 4 months I've been going back and forth the credit reporting agencies regarding these accounts in question and the reason for this is because I know that these accounts are being reported incorrectly. Under the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( 609 ) it is my right to challenge any account in my credit if I believe they are being reported inaccurate, unverifiable or incomplete. I believe they are and some of them have been corrected on some of the bureaus and some have not. I would like to make this complaint to show the level of urgency I have towards this matter. If you can please help I would really appreciate it. These accounts have to be deleted since they are holding my credit scores back and I'm looking to use my credit soon to make a major purchase. Thanks! ACCOUNT NAME : XXXX XXXX XXXX, ACCOUNT # : XXXX, DATE : XX/XX/XXXX, BALANCE : XXXX, REPORTING ON : XXXX, XXXX AND XXXX. ACCOUNT NAME : XXXX XXXX XXXX, ACCOUNT # : XXXX, DATE : XX/XX/XXXX, BALANCE : XXXX, REPORTING ON : XXXX AND XXXX.

In trying to correct my credit due to an injury at work and illness that caused problems, I found collections accounts and one from THE BUREAUS INC with a balance of {$280.00}. I contacted them to validate the account, as I was unaware of it, so I proceeded to validate my info to prove my identity only to be responded with : " Thank you for verifying your information. Your account is currently being serviced by XXXX XXXX XXXX. You can contact them regarding payments or any inquiries you may have ... '' I now proceeded to contact XXXX XXXX XXXX to validate my debt that I still haven't been shown valid?! They responded with email and mail validation, so I called to pay off debt immediately. I was emailed instantly and later mailed a letter that the payment was given to satisfy account. I also asked if it was going to be removed from credit reports and show corrected information and was assured it would be. I have disputed with the three credit agencies due to the fact my reports STILL showing collection balance and open/ongoing re-aged?! Dispute results were : The company that reported the information has certified to XXXX ( others as well ) that the information is accurate. This item was not changed as a result of our processing of your dispute. I must note that this is being reported by THE BUREAUS INC? I did my part in correcting hardships and paying off debt, they should honor their part! This is harming me with home leasing/purchase!

On XX/XX/XXXX I received a phone call from a collection agency stating they now own a debt that was once owned by Bureaus Investment Group Portfolio No 15 LLC on an account opened XX/XX/XXXX. The company that contacted me was XXXX XXXX. During this phone call, I told the representative I was unaware of this debt being sold and asked them to send me a verification of debt. A verification of debt letter was written and sent to them later that afternoon asking for specific information. XXXX responded with a copy of statments from XXXX XXXX. Though this is part of the information requested, it wasn't all of the information requested to prove the debt. In my letter I requested information in occordinance to information provided to me from the Consumer Financial Proctetion Bureau including topics : Why they think I owe the debt, The amount and age of the debt and their athority to collect this debt. I reside in Arkansas and under the laws in Arkansas any debt collector who is attempting to collect a dept must hold a license in Arkansas, neither of the listed companies above hold that or have not provided any proof that they hold athority to infact collect on this debt. Thursday, XX/XX/XXXX will be 30 days since I have requested this information and have not had any contact from them regarding this issue. Also, The Bureaus Investment Group still reports to my credit as owning the debt, when they infact sold it to a new company.

I have previously requested the credit bureaus to look into the accuracy of this account. They have not done so and they continue to report this account illegally. I asked for validation on this account for the bureaus to look into the reporting of the incorrect and questionable fields they are reporting about me. I have not received the responses in the allotted 30 days timeframe. I spoke to the bureaus inc on XX/XX/XXXX asking for specific information about this account. They have not provided me with what I requested. They give me what they want and not what's requested. There is an issue with this account and it is damaging to my credit. 1. I dont understand the payment history of this account and how the charges went from XXXX to XXXX 2. I asked for the original contract bearing my signature. 3. I asked for the payment history and last payment date made on this account. 4. I received an email from the website and email address from XXXX on XX/XX/2020, regarding what they claimed to be my debt from Bureaus Investment Group Portfolio NO 15 LLC. The email says that it is a notice from professional debt collectors in an attempt to collect a debt that I am not even aware of. I check the website and it shows that it is a XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX!! Why do they have my information? I am afraid that my information has been compromised. Please immediately remove this account from my credit report.!

I was told by XXXX XXXX that the debt had been turned over to the collection agency. I called The Bureaus Inc Collection Agency in early XXXX to settle the account for {$700.00}. The gentlemen at the collection told me he would contact his customer and call me back. After no response I called the Bureaus on XX/XX/XXXX and XXXX offered to settle it for only 10 % of the XXXX to {$1200.00}. According to her this is the lowest settlement prorameter. Then she offered {$1100.00}. I asked to speak with a supervisor who was extra rude and told me {$1200.00} and that the rep did not have artozation to lower it. I told her I was aware of the law and that she could go lower. She told me it doesnt matter how many time I call its not going to be any lower. On XX/XX/XXXX I received a call again from the collection agency first she asked me to verify my DOB but I refused because she did not identify who she was or where she was calling from. So she said the last four of my SS # and asked me to verify it was correct. She then offered me a 10 % settlement, I asked her about my previous call for the lower settlement amount she then told me their client agreed to {$840.00} which is difference from the 10 % she offered at the begin of the conversation. I again offered them {$700.00}, she replied i will check with the customer but {$700.00} maybe lowest and it must be paid by end of month.

I had an XXXX rewards card back in XX/XX/XXXX for the amount of {$770.00}. Due to hardship I was not able to make payments and It was sent to collection. The Bureaus Inc took over the account and is using XXXX to collect the balance on the account. However, the original balance of {$770.00} went up to {$930.00}. I have been contacting XXXX since XX/XX/XXXX to find out why my balance increased by {$150.00} but they have failed to provide that information. XXXX rudely refers me back to The Bureaus Inc for any information on the account and state they CAN NOT provide any information on the account except for settlement offers. I have been in contact with the Bureaus Inc since XX/XX/XXXX by email and i was able to get the original XXXX card billing information but they FAIL to provide a statement or Bill demonstrating or explaining the charges being added to the original balance. I keep getting run around about why they can not provide a statement showing the {$150.00} extra charges and Im just being told that they are charges added without a clear explanation. I am willing to pay for the collection, but i am not willing to pay for unexplained charges that two agencies, The Bureaus Inc and credit XXXX, can not discuss openly with me. I think its frustrating and unfair that they keep giving me a number but FAIL to demonstrate how they get from {$770.00} to {$930.00}.

A company called " The Bureaus Inc '' is not providing me with validation that I owe them any money. They are reporting that I have an unpaid debt with them of {$4600.00} but I have never done business with them and I have never received any responses to my requests for information. The account number on my credit is : " XXXX '' with an open date of XXXX 2013. I am getting all of this account information from my credit report. According to my report, it seems that this debt was related to an old XXXX XXXX account but this is what does not make any sense. I do have accounts with XXXX XXXX but all of them are in good standing. I have two active XXXX XXXX cards that I 'm currently using and paying back. If what this company is reporting is true and I really had a bad account with XXXX XXXX I would not have two open credit cards with them that I am still using. This collection agency is trying to scam me and they are refusing to verify why they are charging me this money. This is why I am filing this complaint. I 've done some research online and I have only come across negative reviews and complaints by other consumers who have been harassed and scammed by this company. There is a 100 % negative review rating on the XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX website. I will not give my money to a company I do not recognize and who will not tell me why they want me to pay them.

Hello, my issue involves a debt I am actively disputing with The Bureaus Collection agency. While i have asked for verification numerous times in my disputes, and while they have yet to provide me with anything, I noticed today that they recently made a {$1.00} dollar payment into the account. I never made a payment to them because I do not even know what the debt is for much less ever received a response from them. I have noticed this happen before and did an online research. Apparently this is done to extend the statute of limitations of an account and also to keep the account active beyond the legal time frame. The credit forums explain that whenever a payment is made a legal agreement to repay is created. When no other payments are received, they can consider this a breech of payment contract and report a new time limit. This is WRONG. Nothing has been paid by me or anyone else, and I am disputing not only the account which is not mine but also this illegal practice used to re-age accounts. i am asking this federal agency to take a look at my consumer credit files, to reach out to this company and review all my dispute requests which have never once been answered and to put this company on the record for violating the law. This is illegal and wrong, to keep people locked into debts which they dispute. This is shameful.

On XX/XX/XXXX I received a letter from XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX on behalf of Bureaus Investment Group Portfolio No. 15 LLC, about a debt that I was never aware of. I sent a debt validation letter requesting further information in regards to this debt on XX/XX/XXXX via certified mail. Post marked XX/XX/XXXX I received a letter back from XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX, with only billing statements and a typed letter from XXXX XXXX XXXX informing that a credit account with them was acquired by Bureaus Investment Group Portfolio No.15 LLC . on or about XX/XX/XXXX. I sent XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX, a letter requesting additional proof that the debt they claim I owe is valid by furnishing a contract bearing my signature or the original contract of such said debt via certified mail on XX/XX/XXXX. I received a response back postmarked XX/XX/XXXX from XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX, with the very same information they sent to me on XX/XX/XXXX. They have failed to properly validate this debt with a signature bearing my contract. I have documentation stating where I lived during the said billing statement dates and it is an incorrect address from which they have provided on this debt. Instead they send me the same documentation from a previous request and as well a debt collection letter while this debt is currently in dispute.

I received notification from " The Bureaus '' whose company name appears to imply that it has an affiliation with the three major credit bureaus. The company has used its name to give itself an unfair advantage in the debt buyer business and has also abused its position by intimidating consumers with its business name, suggesting that it is associated with the credit bureausXXXX XXXX XXXX and XXXX This is a major violation of the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act. ( Sect 807 " False or Misleading representation '' ) This company informed me that I owe them {$910.00}. They have also successfully placed a negative tradeline on my credit reports. Under the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act ( Validation of debts ), I have a right to have these debts validated. In order for me to make a determination if what they have reported is accurate, I have requested on numerous occasions - the last in a formal letter - that they provide me with details that validate this debt. As of this date, I have not heard from this collection agency except harassing messages. I have never signed an agreement with this company, nor have I secured any loans from this company. The company has ignored my requests for debt validation and has continued to viciously report this item as a negative occurrence on my correct reports.

I received a call from XXXX XXXXXXXX XXXX demand the balance of an account for about XXXX. I updated my information with the representative. I am aware I fell behind with some creditors. My contact phone number was verified as well as home address. We did discuss arrangements. I did advised the representative that I need to look over my paperwork at home as well as my finances. They did try to reach me later that week, but I was not at a place I could discuss the matter, or unable to answer my phone at all. Then they started contacting family members to reach me. Which is a violation under the FDCPA. We had verified contact information previously. There was no reason to believe the voicemail that IDs me was incorrect, nor was there return mail from my address. I have since requested information via mail only. I have since emailed them twice to validate the account that was purchased by a third party. They have failed to validate the account with information pertaining to the fees that have incurred and applied. Also they have not removed it from my credit if the charges and balance ca n't be verified. First request was emailed on XX/XX/XXXX and second email was sent XX/XX/XXXX. As of the second email, the company has not validated the debit properly, but still reporting it on my credit.

Good evening, I recently paid a collection account in full on XX/XX/21. I proceeded to submit a dispute with all 3 bureaus to have the collection account removed from my credit report or my report updated to reflect showing paid in full. I received notification from XXXX on XX/XX/21 indicating that my dispute yielded updated information, however the dispute did not accomplish my goal. That updated information indicated that as of XX/XX/21, my account was past due for the full balance remaining of {$1200.00} and remains an open collection. I want to file formal FCRA violation complaints against The Bureaus, Inc. and XXXX XXXX XXXX. The former is the collection agency showing on my credit report and the latter is the company that is showing on my bank statement as receiving my payment. I have never entered into ANY contractual agreement with either company and a web search of both companies shows that they are separate entities with separate addresses, yet I dialed a single phone number to a single company ( The Bureaus, Inc. ). Please research my claim and inform these companies of their formal FCRA violation. There should be no reason why a debtor pays a debt in full yet the creditor reports false and/or inaccurate information to the credit bureaus after the debt has been paid in full.

XX/XX/2020 To whom it XXXX concern : I would like to file a complaint against two collection companies, XXXX XXXX XXXX, as well as Bureaus Investment Group. I received a letter today from this XXXX XXXX XXXX, in which they are claiming that I owe a collection debt from XXXX XXXX XX/XX/XXXX, in the amount of {$1600.00}, for an account ending in XXXX. I want to make it clear that I do not owe this debt, I did not owe XXXX XXXX XX/XX/XXXX any amount of {$1600.00}, if this is what they are claiming, this is not true. If this business has placed this fraudulent charge amount onto my credit files, I want all derogatory information removed, and I would like a letter on their letterhead showing that this has been done. I want this company to provide me with their license numbers and Registered Agent documentation. As well as proof that they are licensed to collect in my state. They are slandering my credit with this misinformation, and I want to consult with an attorney about that. Also, I want all communication from them to come from them to you, and you can contact me. Also the name as how they are writing it on this collection account is not my name, there is no hyphen in my name, and I want that corrected. I do not owe this charge amount, and I want my name cleared from it.

XX/XX/XXXX I had an account with XXXX XXXX back in XX/XX/XXXX. XXXX was the creditor for their credit card at the time. My limit was only XXXX. XXXX charged me some promotional financing Charges that I did not agree to and during the course of trying to fix it XXXX went bankrupt and XXXX XXXX took over. XXXX XXXX turned the matter over to the Bureaus. The Bureaus turned it over to the XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX. They went to court and got a judgement against me in XX/XX/XXXX. I didnt know of the court date. They are charging me 10 % on the dollar saying its the law. I have been making steady payments since XX/XX/XXXX. I offered to settle in XX/XX/XXXX for {$1500.00}. The countered with {$2100.00}. I could not pay that amount so I resumed my regular payments. I called today, XX/XX/XXXX at XXXX to get my new payoff balance. I spoke with a XXXX XXXX who said my balance is {$3200.00}. This is criminal to me. I have paid already paid {$1700.00}. How can a {$2500.00} credit card bill now be almost {$5000.00} and rising. I understand fees and all but {$2000.00} in fees is not fair. I will pay what I owe but the interest is unfair and I like to file a complaint. What can I do? I have attached some documentation that I have. I have requested a copy of the court order.

I opened up an account with XXXX for a purchase of a moped. I stopped receiving notifications of the debt. They turned it over to a collection agency and then covid hit. The day after restrictions were lifted, this company sold the debt. I set up automatic payments with this company. There were taking money out of my account every month. In XXXX, I received a call from XXXX XXXX stating my payment was missed. I double checked my account and it was taken out. They wanted me to make a payment with them over the phone. I assumed this was a scam. I called my bank and they said the money was taken from my account and transferred the payment to XXXX XXXX XXXX. I called the supervisor I set the payments up with. He told me there was something wrong with their system and everything had to be re-entered. He asked that I send him proof of payment, which I did. He told me not to make a payment with anyone that he would fix it and if anything else was needed he would call me back. I even received an email thanking me for the phone call. I never heard back. My co-signer just received notification it was sold to another company and I have not made a payments. I am not sure how they can sell it and try to say I have not been making payments when they were set up automatically.

On XX/XX/2022 and XX/XX/2022 I wrote to The Bureaus, Inc requesting that they validate an alleged debt they claimed is owed to them by me. In my letter I requested that they provide specific documentation of validation as pursuant 15 USC 1692g ( b ). However, they failed to address my very specific legal requests, and have continued to unlawfully report this purported debt in violation of my right to privacy and the cease and desist requests, submitted in my previous communications, as defined under the FDCPA. The instruments they provided did not validate their proof of claim as it did not include evidence of any legal instruments bearing my my signature or their lawful right to collect on this alleged debt ; nor did it contain the accounting ledger in accordance with 15 USC 44 that illustrates the amount they purchased this alleged debt for and the correct amount allegedly due. Under the FDCPA it is unfair or unconscionable to attempt to collect an alleged debt in any amount that is not expressly authorized by an agreement creating the debt or permitted by law. Their negligence and unlawful reporting of this alleged debt is causing me unwarranted stress and frustration, damaging my reputation and credit worthiness, and affecting my mode of living.

My information was furnished and used on XX/XX/XXXX without my consent for a XXXX XXXX XXXX credit card. It was a {$350.00} credit limit and immediately maxed. Some payments were made on the card but it was eventually defaulted. The Bureaus claim date of first delinquency was XX/XX/XXXX but last payment prior acquisition was XX/XX/XXXX. Why would an account be turned over for collection before it was ever delinquent? I incurred damage to my credit standing, declined auto loans, credit cards and other services that I probably would have been granted without this inaccurate information. This account was sold to The Bureaus and I have been in contact with them. I have demanded the original, written and or recorded contract/application, copies of my ID/SS card or number and all other relevant information to prove that it was me that opened the account. They did not provide anything except the payment history and other irrelevant documents, but nothing proving ownership. I have disputed this XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX through no avail. They always XXXX reply saying the information has been verified. I know this is inaccurate being my XXXX, XXXX, XXXX and XXXX accounts are frozen ; therefore, they continue to be dishonest while causing a consumer financial harm.

I explained that I was in the process of getting a mortgage and needed to do a rapid rescore with the credit. I have only worked with XXXX at ext. XXXX. She first stated that I would have to call back at XXXX XXXX the following day to get her to send email but that it would not be an issue. I called her back XXXX at XXXX she stated that she would send it out that it was right in front of her. I did not receive the email. I called her 8 times on XXXX each time she stated that they she spoke to her VP and he had to send the email but she would remind him. I do n't understand why I have been treated this way. I have a hard deadline to make to ensure financing for my new home. Called again at XXXX XXXX spoke to a XXXX XXXX. He stated that they could n't send out the email because of their law department and VP could n't get their system up and running. I paid my debt, it cleared my account but I ca n't get a email or fax showing that I paid my debt in full is criminal, Have been lied too twice about getting it done first yesterday XXXX and again today XXXX/XXXX/2016

The XXXX XXXX XXXXt back a large packet containing letters & symbols on the outside of the envelope, violation of 15 USC 1692 ( f ) ( 8 ). Which I have uploaded alongside this complaint. On XXXX XXXX, I mailed a certified letter to The Bureaus Inc demanding for them to validate the alleged debt that they claim I owed. Again they failed to comply & violated me in return. Sending another huge packet with symbols & letters on the outside and inside of the contents. On XXXX XXXX I mailed another certified letter putting The Bureaus Inc on notice of all ways they have violated me as a federally protected consumer. This company never validated this alleged debt they claimed I owe. However The Bureaus Inc continuously reported this alleged debt on my consumer reports damaging my reputation at the least.

Two accounts are showing on my credit report, for one company and one delinquent account which I have. The account in question, deals with XXXX XXXX XXXX. I've only had one defaulted credit card with them. However, its showing up as a " Factoring Company '' in Closed/Delinquent status with XXXX XXXX XXXX for the amount of XXXX. Factoring companies are for the collection of a debt that is in active status and hasn't been turned over to collections. I haven't been able to dispute these two accounts as the same account, can only do them individually. XXXX XXXX XXXX has never responded to a dispute, it has been pending since XXXX XXXX when I submitted my dispute and it is now XX/XX/XXXX. The other account is with The Bureau 's Incorporated, again listed as a collection Agency in XXXX IL, for XXXX XXXX XXXX in the amount of XXXX You will notice that the amount for XXXX is exactly double the amount for The Bureaus. I would like the original debt Validated, and for ONE collection agency to report. Double reporting is a violation, as well as a factoring company to report unless the account is active and not in collections. How do I get both of these accounts looked at as one and anything pertaining to XXXX XXXX be listed one time.

I sent the letter USPS Certified Mail ( Tracking Number XXXX ) on XX/XX/XXXX and The Bureaus located at XXXX XXXX XXXX, XXXX, IL XXXX received it on XX/XX/XXXX at XXXX am. Upon giving the company 30 days, I received statements ( XXXX XXXX ) from the alleged account. I reached out to XXXX XXXX about the account in question. I spoke with a rep named XXXX and he stated " the person who opened the account stated that the date of birth was XX/XX/XXXX and my date of birth is XX/XX/XXXX ''. Also he stated " that the account was opened in XXXX which is before I turned 18 years of age ( Which is a violation of their terms and agreements ). The conclusion is that the account was a result of identity theft. If the company ( XXXX XXXX and The Bureaus ) verifed all the information they should have notice the DOB does not match with mine nor was this account legal for them to open. This process should have been thoughly verified before adding on my credit report. I am willing to take all legal options, if this account is not removed from my credit report.

I wrote to XXXX XXXX, XXXX and XXXX regarding this account as it is stating incorrect. XX/XX/XXXX I requested to delete account as I do not recall having this account. Account was previously stating collection yet derogatory at the same time with all three bureaus after dispute XXXX XXXX has changed from stating collection account to open account while XXXX and XXXX continue reporting collection. This is impossible account can not be open yet in collection at the same time. Previously, account was stating XX/XX/XXXX as date open with experian and XXXX currently XXXX and XXXX have change date open to XX/XX/XXXX. Before Payment history was not stating no data were now experian has added conservative charge off as if it was some sort of payment method. Account has also been re-aged pushing back the day it should fall off this is not acceptable. It is not possible that all three bureaus are right when information is coming from the same furniture data. I have attached a copy of previous and current credit report and underlined errors to further assist with request.

I did ordered 2 pieces of shoe racks from XXXX as a XXXX gift for my XXXX old mother in XX/XX/XXXX. In XX/XX/XXXX one piece was sent with an email notification and immediately replied to the same email to cancel the second order since the product was not as described. The material was too cheap and does not hold a pair of shoes before it falls apart. I do have the email attached to the complaint document. Nevertheless, overstock ignored my request and did send the 2nd order after XXXX towards XX/XX/XXXX. I called for a return packaging slip. Attached is an email as proof XXXX received the package and credited my account to zero balance {$0.00} as shown on the email. Few months after, I started receiving billing for the second order that was cancelled since I paid for the 1st order. XXXX sold this Account XXXX XX/XX/XXXX to " THE BUREAUS '' in the amount of {$610.00} ( the shoe rack purchased costs {$28.00} each ). I hereby request from The Bureaus to delete {$610.00} from my credit report since the account is written off and not only that I do not owe XXXX nor The Bureaus a dime. This collection record is affecting my credit report in order to gain a reputable job in my career to feed my children.

I took a credit card for furniture ( in store card ) in XX/XX/XXXX. The original debt was for {$1800.00} Interest free. The Debt was sold from XXXX to XXXX XXXX to The Bureaus Investment Group. From XX/XX/XXXX- XX/XX/XXXX I paid every month as promised. I never missed a payment and it was on " autodraft '' so I was never late. I ended up paying {$2100.00} over 4 years. Keep in mind through-out this 4 year period I stopped receiving bills from XXXX, I called as to why and nobody could help me. I had no idea it had been sold to XXXX XXXX until XX/XX/XXXX when I was contacted by a collection agency asking for {$1900.00}. I back tracked again XXXX, who again knew nothing, I called XXXX XXXX, who told me the debt was not theirs anymore and knew nothing. My issue is I have proof that I paid the loan in full via my bank statements. {$53.00} a month every month. However, nobody can explain or show proof as to why 5 years later after paying {$2100.00} on a {$1800.00} interest free credit card ... I now owe {$1900.00}?! That would be {$4100.00} on {$1800.00}. Please help me. This has ruined my credit and the collection companies are saying I still owe them money on a debt that NEVER existed to be sold!!

I have reached out to the Bureaus on several occasions and continue to be lead down a rabbit hole with no live person to discuss and resolve my concerns. Upon calling the Bureaus there is no one that answering the phones and I have repeatedly called over several weeks. I finally emailed and received a response. In the email i was informed that " XXXX XXXX XXXX '' was handling my file on behalf of The Bureaus and was advised to call a number provided to me by the representative. After calling the number several times. I ran into the same situation as phoning the Bureaus, there is no live person to talk to, a machine continuously picks up messages are not returned. Also, after inputting the requested information according to the prompts, I received a message that there was no information that could be found at this time and to phone back at a later date. I have paid and settled all past accounts with XXXX XXXX and am requesting that The Bureaus immediately delete and cease reporting to the Credit Bureaus. There is no accountability from this agency to pick up the phones or return calls to discuss concerns. Account # XXXX

To whom it may concern : This complaint is about an inaccurate collections accounts on my XXXX and XXXX credit reports. I have contacted both XXXX XXXX and The Bureaus Inc. in the last 12-months I have contacted both companies multiple times regarding their inaccurate reporting, each time Ive received a response with a printout of a bill, stating the account was verified and meets FCRA. The XXXX XXXX account that these collection agencies allegedly verified as mine and both companies are reporting this derogatory account to the credit bureaus. Why is this alleged XXXX XXXX account NOT listed on ANY of my credit reportsONLY the collection account? FYI a printout of a bill or itemized document does not constitute verification. I am making a final goodwill attempt to clear up this matter. The listed item is inaccurate and represents a very serious error in your reporting. I am requesting validation, made pursuant to the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act and the Fair Credit Reporting Act validation ; that is competent evidence bearing my signature, showing that I have ( or ever had ) some contractual obligation to pay XXXX XXXX XXXX, XXXX or The Bureaus, Inc the alleged amount owed.

I check my credit online last week and saw 5 debt collectors. I have not been anywhere or have I used any credit because of being laid off. I'm not sure where this came from. However I was arrested in XXXX in 2017 and my license was taken away and I had to go to court! There was a man name XXXX XXXX. He impersonated me. This was not known until I went to court and the lawyer showed past arrest photos of " XXXX XXXX XXXX '' and it was all him. I found out he has my DL number, SSN, everything. Moving forward I do not even use credit cards and ONLY pay cash, so these accounts can not be mine. Whatever debt this is they need to view the picture of the ID to see if it is my face or that man XXXX XXXX. The account that I saw on my credit was The Bureaus Inc Account Number XXXX Even when I look on the credit report and look for information to contact the creditors both of these companies XXXX XXXX XXXX and The Bureaus Inc information is not listed. These company did not send any mail to my address and I have been at the same address for over 30 years. I just don't understand why this happen. Please hold them accountable for not verifying whoever used my information to get credit.

I have disputed this debt with the credit bureaus and it came back verified I have since then contacted the company and haven't received a response. Where are the documents that your company used to verify that you are reporting these accounts accurately? What is the name of the person in your company who verified the accuracy of this account? What documents did they use to verify them? Please provide me with the name of that individual, their company title, and telephone number as well as copies of the documents that they used to verify that this disputed item are being reported accurately. Please be further advised, I dispute the validity of the alleged debt in its entirety.

The Bureaus Collection Agency has violated my rights in attempting to collect a debt they claim I have, I have paid this debt to XXXX XXXX in XX/XX/2019 which can be viewed on my credit report and shows as the debt was legally paid for less than the full balance. I received a letter from the Bureaus ( TBI ) attempting to collect on this debt and quickly sent a letter in response asking they validate the debt as I paid this debt off. I did not receive a response and as soon as I saw the Bureau added their account to my credit report I contacted them by phone. I was unable to speak to anyone when I called on multiple occasions and only received voice recordings that due to the pandemic they cant always answer. ( I have the phone records of my multiple attempts to resolve this ). I then filed a complaint with the XXXX XXXX XXXX during which the bureau provided misinformation, and again failed to resolve this. This is negatively affecting my credit and should be resolved quickly. I dont know how else to resolve this issue other then filing this complaint or obtaining legal representation which will be my next course of action should I not achieve amicable resolution. Thank you.

I have submitted a request for this company to remove this account from my credit profile because it is still reporting as delinquent and effecting my score. The debt is no longer a collection of mines and that was the excuse as to why it is still reporting. The account is charged off as a XXXX balance however is still reporting negatively on all XXXX bureaus. I have contacted the company and the bureus and both are in violation. FAIR CREDIT REPORTING ACT/REGULATION V Section 623 of the FCRA and Regulation V generally provide that a furnisher must not furnish inaccurate consumer information to a CRA, and that furnishers must investigate a consumers dispute that the furnished information is inaccurate or incomplete. With that being said these accounts do not line up properly. REPORTING ON XXXX XXXX. DATE OPENED - XXXX XXXX XXXX. DATE CLOSED - XX/XX/XXXX REPORTING ON XXXX DATE OPENED - XX/XX/XXXX This information is incorrect and documented. I am requesting that you please remove this from my credit profile. I have submitted an FTC report in the past, it was overlooked and I am really not in the mood to go back and forth about a line that you guys are reporting wrong.

I contacted The Bureaus to dispute their claim that I owe a debt of {$310.00}. The phone numbers provided on the credit report XXXX and XXXX do not connect to the Bureaus, but it connects to a company called XXXX XXXX. Several Managers and Customer Representatives have stated on multiple calls they do not have an account pertaining to me and there is nothing they can do to assist me with removing the debt or resolving the debt. I have not been provided proof of the debt from the Bureaus, and they have not responded to letters, and the phone numbers do not connect you with the company. I disputed the validity and accuracy of the debt with XX/XX/XXXXand they reported back that the company verified with them the debt is valid. HoweverXX/XX/XXXXrepresentative stated to me on a recorded phone call The Bureaus is not required to provide one shred of evidence that the debt is accurate, they did a self investigation and reported back to XX/XX/XXXX their findings. I asked how is it possible to report a debt on my report without 1 piece of evidence? I have not been able to get in contact with anyone from this company, and yet, XX/XX/XXXX refused to removed the debt.

I received a letter in the mail from The Bureaus Investment Group on XXXX/XXXX/2020, stating I owed them {$540.00}. I sent them a debt validation letter ( see complete mail exchange attached ) & received a response that does not constitute proper debt validation per The Federal Trade Commissions guidelines. All I received was an itemized list of the alleged charges they claim I owe. I requested Validation that is competent evidence bearing my original hand signed signature showing a contractual obligation to pay them. The Bureaus Investment Group is still reporting this collection activity on my credit report, even after they have failed to send proper debt validation. They are in violation of the FCPDA. This erroneous & invalidated information they are reporting to all 3 credit bureaus ; XXXX XXXX , & XXXX is causing great harm & embarrassment to my life. In addition, the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ) does not allow the inaccurate reporting of information on my credit report and under this act. It is also causing me severe problems in trying to purchase a home for my family during this pandemic.

The Bureaus Inc continues to violate federal and state laws pertaining to debt collection agencies. The Bureaus Inc can not and have not gave me proof of their claim that I owe them. They continue to create and attach documents which doesn't bare my signature and statements which doesn't contain my correct address. I have sent several letters to the alleged collection agency and they refuse to terminate all collection efforts. The Bureaus Inc is not licensed as a collection agency in the State of Illinois with the Illinois Department of XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX which goes against state law, however they continue to unlawfully try to collect alleged debts.

I spoke with the collection agency person named XXXX XXXX and she was completely abusive and unwilling to work with me on anything. Told me she pulled my credit report and she proceeded to tell me that I was current with all other payments, which I was not. When I asked if I could make a payment arrangement she said, " You have NO money! How do you want to make a payment arrangement?! '' Told me to " borrow money from your mom ''. I repeatedly asked her if I was able to make a payment arrangement and she gave me no choice but to pay the amount in full. I told her I could not do that and she responded with " I 'll just send this back to the company saying you are refusing to pay this! '' Which I was not. I repeated multiple times that I was not refusing to pay it. When I told her that I could set up a payment arrangement she laughed at the amount I gave her that I was willing to pay. She then hung up on me. I sincerely hope that the call was recorded because she was completely inappropriate and unwilling to make any arrangement. I hope this is not how the company conducts their business.

I sent two letters on two separate dates disputing debt to the debt collector, asking debt to be verified ( see attached documents ). Initial letter sent was sent on XX/XX/2023, sent certified to collection company regarding three accounts listed with account numbers on letter. The collection agency sent me an unsigned copy of a generic credit contract the company uses ( see attached ) and pages of credit card statements to an address that does not belong to me for all three accounts. I then sent a follow up letter on XX/XX/2023 certified return receipt demanding the collection agency send me verification with my wet signature and proof this is my debt, and the agency sent the same documents as was sent prior. In addition, I have asked the collection agency to cease from further collection actions, removal of debt from credit reports since the debt has not been properly verified under the CFPB rules. I urge you to please review the attached documents and assist me with the removal of these accounts on my credit report. I appreciate any and all assistance you are able to provide.

I received a lawsuit summons from a company I do not recognize and have not received any direct notification, statement, or notice of intent to sue from them prior. There is a credit card account originally held with XXXX XXXXXXXX XXXX. According to the summons, the debt was purchased in a bulk sale from XXXX XXXXXXXX XXXX by Bureaus Investment Group in XXXX Colorado. According to the summons paperwork, the balance showing at the time of charge off on XX/XX/XXXX was {$1000.00}. I only recently found out about this creditor when I noticed it showed up on my credit report and I was trying to figure out who it was so I disputed it with the credit bureaus. Today I was served with the court summons as a response from the creditor in question. According to the summons paperwork from the Plaintiff and the circuit court of XXXX XXXX, it says I have 30 days from the date of service of the summons to respond. The paperwork is Dated XX/XX/XXXX and today is XX/XX/XXXX. I did not receive the paperwork until 30 days after therefore not giving me ample time to achieve counsel and respond.

Hi, I have been trying to resolve an account since XX/XX/2021, original creditor is XXXX XXXX for the amount of {$5800.00}. I contacted the Bureaus on XX/XX/2021 and they sent me to XXXX. When contacting the lender XXXX XXXX XXXX ( on XX/XX/2021 ), they couldn't provide accurate information about the account. However, on XX/XX/2021, XXXX XXXX, Collections Supervisor, offered me a settlement for the amount of {$3400.00}. When trying to pay this amount they sent me to the first lender, The Bureaus. I contacted XXXX XXXX, Operations Support Manager at the Bureaus Inc, and they claimed to not have knowledge of the account and sent me back to XXXX. Yesterday, I was contacted by XXXX. XXXX XXXX from XXXX offering me help with the account, but when I called back, they told me that I have to contact the Bureaus. They have been " playing this game '' since XX/XX/2021 when I first contacted XXXX XXXX XXXX. I am really concerned, worried and having XXXX issues about this account and what could happen if both lenders keep avoiding responsibility and denying the account.

As of today XX/XX/XXXX Ive tried unsuccessfully to get in contact with the collection agency called The Bureau. Ive called several times and left numerous messages regarding a derogatory account listed on my credit report. This account was opened on XX/XX/XXXX with a balance of {$720.00} and the originator being XXXX XXXX Bank. I have had no contact what so ever with any representative from The Bureau nor has anyone from The Bureau tried contacting me before reporting this information on my credit report. I have no standing signed contract between myself and the Bureau and I have never done any business transaction with any employee of the Bureau. This account has a negative impact on my credit history and is by all means a defamation of character. This account also goes against the rules and regulations set forth by the FCRA to protect clients and their personal information from slander and misappropriation. I would like The Bureau to remove this account and its information from my credit report and be prevented from reinserting it at a later date.

THE BUREAUS add a collection on my credit reports. Under the Fair Debt Collections Practices Act ( FDCPA ), I have the right to request validation of the debt you say I owe you. Explain and show me how you calculated what you say I owe : Provide me with copies of any papers that show I agreed to pay what you say I owe ; Provide a verification or copy of any judgment if applicable ; Identify the original creditor ; Prove the Statute of Limitations has not expired on this account ; Show me the you are licensed to collect in my state ; Provide me with your license numbers and Registered Agent or Agent of Service. Since you are still reporting this account on my credit report, you are now in violation of the FCPDA.I intend to follow through with the suit if I do not hear back from you within 15 days. You should also be aware that reporting such invalidated information to major credit bureaus might constitute defamation of character, as the negative marks on my credit report harm my credit and prevent me from enjoying all the benefits of good credit.

Originally disputed this fraudulent collection back earlier and was able to remove it from my credit report. I then later check back a week later and see that the agency added the collection again as a new one starting a new time frame along with hurting my credit significantly as I recently applied for a credit card and was notified that I was rejected solely due to this collection issue. I've reached out to the collection agency regarding this account as it shows it's from 2017 back when I was merely XXXX and unable to have opened any line of credit under my name yet they refuse to acknowledge this and continue pressuring me through letters and automated phone calls. I provided proof of my ID to show valid information that this account was opened under fraudulent methods and the things they are doing are illegal yet no action from them. I'm already thinking of filing a police report if that can somehow help me but at this point this is hurting me for something that I have no idea on what money they're trying to viciously collect from me.

After reviewing credit report again in XX/XX/22 there have been no updates and account is still reflecting on my report. I dont believe this account belongs to me nor do I believe that the creator has authorization to access the account nor authorization to attempt to collect on the account and the account continues to negatively affect me.

I submitted a letter from the alleged company ( XXXX XXXX ) which showed that the supposed debt/loan was not carried out by said company. I also contacted the credit agencies to dispute the negative reporting by XXXX XXXX and my credit score was amended because of that proof. However XXXX XXXX failed to resolve the dispute on their end or notify any collection agencies that the dispute was a result of their reporting error and closed the dispute using incorrect data. XXXX XXXX failed to note in their report that the car loan in dispute doesn't match the sales record of a car I did buy and paid off was in good standing ( I've had the title to the car since XXXX ). XXXX XXXX also failed to note that the credit card listed was reported stolen in XXXX or XXXX and could not possibly have been used to get a car loan. This whole mess with the collection agency is the result of faulty reporting errors by XXXX XXXX which also failed to act on a previous CFPB complaint ( this is not a continuation of that complaint ).

Date of last payment showing XX/XX/XXXX but the date of the first delinquency is XX/XX/XXXX which is 85 days after the date of last payment. Charge off date XX/XX/XXXX which would be 243 days from the date of last payment but 158 days from the date of first delinquency which I thought would be 180 days for charge offs. Also I sent them another letter on XX/XX/XXXX for more information because nothing made sense including the bills they sent to me. Bill due dated XX/XX/XXXX with a balance of {$530.00} XXXX XXXX ) then a bill with no due date just a balance of {$710.00}. ( XXXX ) Where are the bills from XXXX?

I have been trying to contact The Bureaus, Inc. for several months about repayment of my debt held by them ; I first attempted to contact them on XX/XX/XXXX, and I got a voicemail which said my call would be returned based on the message I was asked to leave ; my call was never returned. I attempted to call again on XX/XX/XXXX, but was met with the same results. On XX/XX/XXXX, I called a third time, again got a voicemail and left a message ; this time, someone returned my call, but I was not able to speak with them at length at that time. We set a time for them to call again the next day, but the call never came. On XX/XX/XXXX, I received a letter from XXXX XXXX stating that The Bureaus, Inc. had sold my debt to them, indicating it was because their attempts to collect on the debt were unsuccessful ; this is false, as I called three times over several months and either no one was willing to speak to me or my calls were not returned as promised.

I AM REQUESTNG THE AMOUNT OF A FRAUD ACCOUNT WHICH WAS LISTED WITHIN MY BR CASE. XXXX, THE TRUSTEE REFUSED TO INVESTIGATE THIS ACCOUNT. I FILED BR BECAUS OF THE FRAUD. YOUR COMPANY FILED A BR CLAIM IN THE AMOUNT OF XXXX. ALTHOUGH, A FRAUD ACCOUNT THE BALANCE WAS NOT BE XXXX I WAS PROVIDED WITH THE AMOUNT WHICH WAS PAID TO YOUR COMPANY BY YOUR BR OFFICE. THIS CONSTITUTES BR FRAUD AND ALL WILL BE HELD ACCOUNTABLE. ALTHOUGH THE FRAUD ACCOUNT MAY HAVE BEEN DISCHARGED OR PAID, I AM IN NEED OF THE TOTAL AMOUNT OWING ASAP. I WILL COMPARE IT TO THE AMOUNT QUOTED TO ME. IT APPEARS COURT STAFF HAS ENGAGED IN UNETHICAL ACTIVITIES AS THE SITUATION AND NUMBER ARE NOT ADDING UP. THIS TRUSTEE HAS ALSO UTILIZED THIS SAME COMPANY TO COLLECT ON FRAUD CC ACCOUNTS WHICH S VERY SUSPICIOUS. NONE WERE PAID BUT DISCHARGED, BUT WHEN I SPOKE TO EACH BR DEPARTMENT A NUMBER WAS GIVEN WHICH WAS COMPLETELY DIFFERENT. THIS INDICATES THIS IS AN INTERNAL OPERATION.

I have been receiving repeat threats from a company called the XXXX XXXX XXXX. I have sent 3 different debt 609 validation letters to this company without a response. However today I received a call from this company and spoke with a XXXX XXXX who proceeded to be very rude and say this debt was mine and I made payments on this card and it is mine. I advised him that this debt was not validated properly. He advised me that the debt was mine and that I needed to pay it with very abusive and threatening language. I asked him was he allowed to even licensed to collect a debt in my state and he refused to answer my question. He told me that he would update my account as a refusal to pay and that they would keep calling my phone. I am outraged that this is happening to me and that I am being harassed in such manor. I did not give this company permission to call me or place this debt on my credit and this is a violation of my rights.

On XX/XX/2021, I contacted The Bureaus Inc. to pay off the {$560.00} debt that was claimed on my credit report. I was given the runaround by their automated system, and was forwarded to XXXX XXXX XXXX. So XXXX XXXX XXXX did not have any details about my account and I was told to call The Bureaus Inc. back with a blocked number, by dialing XXXX first then their number. Well, I called The Bureaus Inc. with a blocked number, this time, and got to them at last. But, The Bureaus Inc. told me that they don't own this debt any more and that the XXXX XXXX owns this debt, and so there is no way for them to accept a payment from me. Ok, so I filed a dispute on XXXX to get them off my credit report. The dispute was rejected because The Bureaus Inc. somehow proved that they own this debt. So, I called XXXX and told them this story. I was advised by XXXX to escalate this issue with FTC. I hope you can help me out. Thank you in advance.

After receiving a call for the first time, was told they called me XXXX times however never sent me anything by mail so it was the first time I was hearing no messages on voicemail nothing. I was asked for my banking info to pay the debt, I refused and asked for documentation of this debt to make a settlement or payment arrangement. I was told I would receive it that day two weeks went by and nothing. Today I received another call the caller was intimidating and threatening to take action and judgement against me and he could n't send me anything because the law did not allow. I know this to not be true as I have settled a few account with collection agencies. I demanded to speak to a manager who then told me he could email me something pertaining to arrangements I would like to make to pay this debt off, but as soon as I received it there is no letterhead, no signature name. This just seems really odd and suspicious to me.

XX/XX/2017 amount of {$490.00}. An account that was opened underneath my name I have no recollection of. I spoke with the collection agency and I stated I neve had the card. I spoke with capital one who was the original credit company. And they searched their records and they do not have any information of the application or the credit card being tied to my social. I followed their example and wrote the collection agency stating the facts. I as well wrote a written letter to all three credit bureaus and explained the situation. As well wrote capital one themselves per customer care to have it removed and they refuse to remove it. As well i feel and believe they are rebuying the collection report to keep it on my credit report for longer than it should be. I feel i am being abused by the company and they are not removing false information from my report. I even wrote the XXXX and they refused to respond to the complaint.

In XX/XX/2016 I was a victim of Identity theft. Once I found out about this I filed the proper complaints with the FTC notified XXXX of the ID theft. I provided them with the reports and they closed the account. They then sold the account to this company who is now refusing to provide a dunning letter, accept my ID theft report or even validate the alleged debt after sent a letter demanding validation. The statutory time frame for validation is 30 days that has passed and no response. There answer to me over the phone is that they do n't have to validate anything, your not a lawyer you do n't know what your talking about and then offer me to settle the debt for pennies on the dollar. I have stressed to them that this is not mine and they do not care. They said XXXX would not have placed it with them if it was not my debt. I sent a do not call letter and they still call. I sent a debt validation letter that they ignore.

I have an account on my credit that I did not open nor did I authorize. Prior to sending the affidavit I sent a letter to The Bureaus and XXXX XXXX to remove this fraudulent information from all three credit bureaus ( XXXX, XXXX, XXXX ) and The Bureaus and XXXX XXXX disregarded my request. I take pride in my credit and I have a XXXX score on my credit bureaus. This fraudulent account is ruining my credit to the extreme. A consumer can not provide signed documentation for an fraudulent account that they never authorized but I also asked for a signed documentation bearing my signature that I agreed to pay The Bureaus and XXXX XXXX collection agencies could not provide that information. I want this information removed IMMEDIATELY!

The Bureaus is a debt buyer/collector who purchased a XXXX account ; I settled this debt in XXXX XXXX with The Bureaus ( see attached settlement letter and proof of payment ) but The Bureaus continued reporting the account to the credit reporting agencies with a balance. I disputed the account per the FCRA both with the credit reporting agencies and The Bureaus directly and the account was removed. However, I now find that the account is, again, reporting to the XXXX credit reporting agency with a balance of {$410.00}. Since XXXX originally removed the account from my report, The Bureaus obviously re-reported the account in error. Per FTC Staff Opinion letter, dated XXXX/XXXX/XXXX, the reporting of a charged-off debt to a consumer reporting agency is a collection activity, therefore this erroneous reporting by The Bureaus is a violation of both the FCRA and the FDCPA as well as a violation of the FCBA.

This is XXXX XXXX, who is submitting this CFPB complaint myself, and to inform you that there is no third party involved in the process. These accounts are inaccurately and erroneously reporting. Their intentional and willful furnishing of inaccurate information is a violation of FCRA Section 623 and according to FCRA Section 611. I have done many attempts to reach out to 3 Credit Bureaus but they failed to give me any results or feedbacks about this concern, and I requested a complete payment history of these accounts for me to review the exact date on which the collections were posted. There was definitely an error on their part. The bureaus are condoning illegal behavior and willfully in violation of FCRA. REMOVE THEM FROM MY REPORT IMMEDIATELY ; THE BUREAUS ( Original Creditor : XXXX XXXX XXXX ) -XXXX-Balance {$1100.00} THE BUREAUS ( Original Creditor : XXXX XXXX XXXX ) -XXXX-Balance {$270.00}

If this documentary evidence can not be produced and collection attempts continue I will file for litigation for actual damages caused and XXXX XXXX XXXX will be held criminally liable for aggravated identity theft pursuant to 18 USC 1028A, extortion, theft by deception, securities fraud, and mail fraud.

There are numerous inquiries on my account affecting my credit score. The Bureaus Inc did not contact me until after they placed a balance of {$690.00} on my report. The balance has changed twice from what I can see. My place is also the same I dont recall being contacted! My XXXX XXXX credit card was recently closed because of a payment not going through and instead of contacting me to resolve the issue my account was closed. I contacted them a day later to fix the issue and I was told my account was closed due to fraudulent activity. I checked all information on the account to see if anything was fraudulent and everything was up to date. Now they are saying that I have to pay them back. I have no problem doing that but i would like it off of my score! There are also credit checks on my report that have not had a positive affect on my score. I have not been emailed or called about either.

XX/XX/2019 I paid my XXXX XXXX XXXX balance in full after learning from customer service that I had missed a payment. I continued to make my monthly payment even though payment had become an issue. Prior to this I had always paid my balance in full each month. I asked the creditor on several occasion to remove the excessive charges as a goodwill gesture. Original creditor : XXXX XXXX XXXX refused to do so and has continued to assess late fees, and/or finance charges, and/or other fees causing my account balance to exceed my credit limit. XXXX has reported this on my credit report. This has negatively effected my good credit score. XXXX sold the account to a debt collector : THE BUREAUS who continues to increase the balance and causing my credit rating to go bad, thereby causing me to miss opportunities to improve my credit rating and create a better standard of living for me and my family.

XXXX XXXX, The Bureaus AND XXXX are all reporting collections. XXXX credit card XXXX XXXX XXXX, XXXX, and not a separate account. This is causing 3 collection accounts o my credit report. I have also satisfied the balance with LVNV, and therefore these 3 should be removed rom my account. I requested the Bureaus send me ALL documentation associated with this alleged debt, including all applications, and ALL statements from the original creditor, and all I received was one billing statement from the Bureaus. ( Nothing rom XXXX XXXX, XXXX. ). These debts need to be removed rom my credit report for all of the above stated reasons

The bureaus inc Company violated the fair debt collections practices act by implying that the debt had been sent to an attorney. After notifying them if the violation they removed the comment from my file where they stated it has been sent to an attorney, verifying guilt. Item should be removed. They are trying to collect more than the debt amount listed by the original creditor, not because of fees or interest, they just have the wrong amount listed. This violates the fcra. The item should be removed. They sent me an unsigned blank binder as verification of the debt. They are verifying the debt with a blank document. This is fraud. The item should be removed. I never opened this account, this item is the result of identity theft. As proven by the unsigned blank binder that they are using in an attempt to fraudulently verify the debt. The item must be removed.

Today, I am writing this complaint to THE BUREAUS INC regarding the incorrect information on my accounts. I sent them a letter requesting for investigation of those account mentioned, they took more than 30 days to complete and they stated that they have completed the investigation. However when I pull my recent report I don't see any changes made at all. They claimed that they verified the information but how come that it is verified when the date of last activity, date opened, date of last report. payment history and status are inaccurate? This is not right. I understand my rights under 15 U.S.C 1681 section 602 A which states that I have the right to privacy and 15 U.S.C 1681 section 604 A Section 2, which also states a consumer reporting agency can not furnish an account without my written instructions.

On XX/XX/20 I called to see why on my credit report it was showing a balance instead of saying that the debt was settled and was transferred and hung up on several times before reaching anyone. Once i reached a representative, he was very rude and told me to pay the balance and that this was going to remain on my credit forever. I asked him why when my account was settled by another representative. I am blaming the Bureaus because they hired these shady people to take payments for them and lie and say that everything would be settled and deleted from my credit report as soon as i settle but lied to me because it is still on my credit report. I would like this to be deleted just was I was told and want information that it will be because i went even far as leaving compliant and was never contacted back.

The Bureaus are attempting to collect a debt that was already acknowledged as fraud, was removed from my credit report as fraud. The Bureaus have purchased a debt that is identity theft. The original creditor has acknowledged this as identity theft. The bureau sent me statements how does this proved that i made these charges and opened this account when it was already proven as identity theft. Then once I send them a letter stating it is identity theft, the bureaus then add this false collection to my XXXX report that it was not reporting on. Sooo in essence, I tell you it's fraud and you continue to perpetuate this fraud by then adding it on more than the bureau it was reporting on? this is illegal. How do you scam people like this, and it is ok? do you think people do not know their right????

I have been disputing this account with the credit bureaus for sometime now. Each time they would say that THE BUREAUS would verify the debt. So I took it upon myself to ask THE BUREAUS for validation of the debt. Are they legally able to collect on the debt? How did they calculate the amount they claim I owe? How do they know I am the owner of the debt? Im curious because I have never done business with them or the original creditor. Well, it has been more than 30 days and I still have not received anything proving the debt is mine. They received my letter on XX/XX/XXXX. Here is the tracking XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX. I was under the impression that if they didn't respond it would automatically deleted from my credit reports. Silence is being in agreeance. I am sure there is a law that proves it.

The Bureas reported to my XXXX, XXXX, and XXXX credit reports 2 collection accounts for XXXX XXXX in the amounts of {$600.00} and {$520.00}. The credit agency illegally placed this information on all three bureaus without sending me notification of the debts and the option to request validation and if validated to dispute. This illegal reporting has made a negative impact on my credit report. Also, the information to contact the lender is different on the credit reports. On the XXXX report the contact information for The Bureaus is XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX, IL XXXX Phone number XXXX. On the XXXX report the address is XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX, Is XXXX Phone number XXXX. Therefore making it difficult for me as a consumer to know which number and address is accurate to dispute or possibly settle.

My previous complaint # was XXXX My name is XXXX XXXX and I have given this company an Affidavit Of Identity theft and have informed them they are in violation of my rights by listing a fraudulent account with the credit reporting agencies. They are not also violating 15 U.S. Code 1692g, as only the consumer can validate a debt. I have informed this company numerous times this account is fraudulent and they continue to violate my rights. I am asking CFPB to violate this company and issue a fine in the amount of {$3000.00} for several violations they continue to commit and I also demand deletion of the fraudulent account. Once again, this company has not provided me with a solution to any of my complaints. I do not want a fraudulent bill history sent to me, I want this account deleted now.

I settled an account with the original creditor, XXXX XXXX XXXX. This account is paid, settled and closed. However, the collection agency, The Bureau, continues to report to the credit bureaus that the full amount is still owing. This means I would have to pay this debt twice. According to the FCRA, consumers do not pay a debt to the original creditor and the collection agency. I have contacted the collection agency to no avail to resolve the false reporting. The original creditor had to option as indicated in my letter to decline my settlement offer and refer me back to the collection agency, The Bureaus. but XXXX XXXX accepted my settlement offer. According to The Bureaus reporting I still owe a debt that has been settled with the original creditor. This is false information being reported.

On XX/XX/2020 I requested an investigation regarding inaccurate/erroneous items on my credit file that were being reported illegally. On XXXX XXXX, 2020, your agency sent a letter stating that you had completed your investigation and the items were not deleted, as requested. I requested for a reinvestigation as my right under FCRA 611 and on XXXX XXXX, 2020, XXXX did not delete as requested and just updated the accounts for The Bureaus Inc. As relevant proof I disputed these The Bureaus Inc accounts with XXXX XXXX since XXXX had a different name reporting along with my other personal information, as a result XXXX deleted the erroneous The Bureaus Inc accounts from my credit report. I believe I have become a victim of Identity Theft. I have attached copies of my XXXX credit report.

After sending 2 certified letters requesting the original purchase agreement bearing my signature, I have yet to receive it. A printout with my name on it from any computer is not validation of any debt. The Bureaus Inc. stated that I opened accounts with stores I would never even shop at back in 2016 and still do not shop at today. At XXXX XXXX XXXX, I was not even thinking about credit due to focusing on my studies. As stated previously, I've never owned a credit card! Additionally, after looking up the license for the Bureaus Inc. they can not legally collect on anything in the state of New Jersey because they don't have a license to do so. I wish for them to stop harassing me and remove the negative information off of my credit report because I have never had any credit cards!

I used a credit repair agency take care of the only collection on my credit report. The bureaus Inc. could not verify the account belonged to me therefore it was removed from my credit report previously. XX/XX/2018 the collection company started reporting to my credit report once again, hindering my ability to proceed with a mortgage loan. If they were unable to verify the account belonged to me, I want to see the proof to verify the debt. I currently have an open credit card with XXXX XXXXXXXX ( the original creditor according to the bureaus inc ). I dont want to see my information verified for an account not verified belonging to me with information from my open credit card. I should be protected against the unlawfully verifying of a debt under the fair consumer reporting act.

For the last year I have been back and forth with the credit reporting agencies about a collection agency called The Bureaus, whose account have been reporting on my credit report. This account does not below to me. The credit bureaus keep responding stating that I should contact The Bureaus because they verified that the account is correct and belong to me. So after doing some research I learned that I can dispute directly with The Bureaus which I did on XX/XX/2018. I did not get a response from them. So I sent another letter certified mail to their dispute department and also to the CEO and the letter was delivered approximately 2 weeks ago according to the USPS tracking, and they still have not responded to me and the accounts are reporting on my credit report

I reached out to the company and told them that I did not receive any paperwork on why it's being sent to collections and was never notified about any payments that had to be made nor did i get any mail saying i owe any money when i paid off the card. I now can not get anything done when it comes to mortgage, car service, loan service because of this mark on my credit and the company did not show any help. I'm XXXX years old and I don't think this should be haunting me into my adulthood when the bill was paid already.

This company The Bureaus has yet to show proof of an account that they claim is mine. I believe it was the capital one account i dispute a year ago, which was deleted off my account due to it being an error. This company the Bureaus is not a law firm/ or stating litigation. They are simply just trying to get money out of me with no proof of signature regarding an old incorrect issue on my credit reports. They need to delete this negative incorrect information for XXXX dollars off my account as this is not mine nor do i owe this money. This wrong information was settled last year when it was deleted. I sent them a certified letter via mail more than 30 days ago to stop harassment and to delete. However it is still on all three credit bureaus

I've waited the recommended time ( 30 days ) per letter and I've sent every letter Certified Mail with no response back from them. I'd like to get this debt they say I owe, validated to ensure this is my debt and they have not provided the original signed document with my signature on it as proof of debt. I have contacted the 3 credit bureaus ( XXXX, XXXX, & XXXX ) and they have stated that they were able to validate and verify this debt by the collection agency but did not state HOW it was validated and I would like the proof of my owing this debt because otherwise it is hurting my ability to purchase a house and enjoy a life of good credit.

XXXX Credit Bureau consistently reports the collection as an OPEN ACCOUNT, which is not compliant with the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ). It is deemed as inaccurate reporting and needs to be removed from my credit report immediately. The collection has appeared as an OPEN ACCOUNT since XX/XX/XXXX. The last reporting activity on the account is XX/XX/XXXX ; however, XXXX keeps re-aging the credit history when disputed. Re-aging is a severe violation of the FCRA. It makes the account in question look more recent and causes severe damage to my credit score. XXXX is reporting the account as an active retail account. Please see attached documents.

On XX/XX/2020, I received an alert from my credit report that I owe an amount to a company called The Bureaus. I have tried to locate a number for this company as it is 3 different addresses listed on my reports. As I do further research, on the attorney general website of Florida, The Bureaus isn't listed as a licensed company to collect in Florida. I have no knowledge of the said debt and this company did not send me the proper debt validation before reporting negatively to my reports and heavily impacting my scores. This company is within 2 violations and I request that this company is removed from my credit reports promptly.

I have disputed this account with the credit bureaus and The Bureaus. I have received no response whatsoever. I do not know who The Bureaus are, or why they are on my credit, I have never done any business with them, ever. I have no contracts signed with the bureaus, and the debt remains unvalidated, but they keep calling me at home, on my cell, and at work, and I have begged them not to. I have no relationship with The Bureaus and want them to leave me alone. I believe they have been using unfair debt collection practices and also have used abusive language towards me when I asked them to leave me alone.

When I call, there is no agent. I enter My social security number and Im sent to a completely different company, Indebted. No one answers the phone and you are forced to leave a message. No one ever calls you back. I am not able to pay debt because they refuse to call back. I have called for 2 months. No call back. So, I disputed the collection because they dont let you pay it, in turn the debt increased.

I contacted the Bureaus because their accounts was suppose to be deleted from my credit report over a year ago. When i spoke with them they were very rude and threatening court and Jail time. They violated my constitutional rights. 15 USC Section602 States I have the right to privacy. 15 USC 1681 Section 604A Section 2 It also states a consumer reporting agency can not furnish an account without my written instructions. 15 USC 166B : A creditor may not treat a payment credit card account under an open end consumer credit plan as late for anyXXXX purpose.

I was never notified of this debt, per 15 USC 1692 I was to be notified within 5 days. Per 15 USC 1692gf, unfair practices. No information given regarding debt.
