Complaint What Happened On XX/XX/XXXX, I was sent a letter by XXXX saying that my personal information was compromised as a result of a data breach. On the same month, a debt collector XXXX XXXX reported a XXXX account that was opened on my name in Michigan ( never lived there ) and unpaid balance of {$840.00} that was reported in collections to the three credit bureaus. I successfully disputed that account and got them to remove it from my credit report. That account was then sold to XXXX XXXX XXXX with the same thing and they too reported to the credit bureau that it was under collection. Again, without sending me a letter verifying the validity of the debt. And so, both XXXX XXXX and XXXX XXXX are in violation of CFPB as they never contacted me and immediately went to credit agencies. Now again in XX/XX/XXXX, AFNI INC is doing the same thing and the account is currently under dispute. As soon as I told AFNI that they never sent me a letter notifying the validity of the debt, they then sent me a letter. Clearly violating the practices.

Complaint What Happened I owned a XXXX in Florida and used it approximately 3 months a year. I used it as a snowbird. I signed up for a package deal with XXXX XXXX and XXXX for service. I advised that I was only going to use it when I was there. For the other months I would have to pay a fee to continue the service. I also told that I might sell the property. I was not there for XXXXXXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXXXXXX because of Covid 19. I paid for when I was there and the partial fee for both companies. I was there for approximately 6 weeks in XXXXXXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX When I left I advised that I was going to sell the properety. I had no problem with XXXX XXXX. When I left, I returned XXXX equipment with me and returned the equipment thereby rendering the use of the service useless. XXXX CONTINUES TO BILL ME AND THE SERVICE WAS NOT WORKING SINCE i HAD RETURNED THE EQUIPMENT. I contacted them but could not resolve the problem since the wanted payment even thought the service was inoperable.. I was contacted by a credit agency and they advised me that I OWED THE MONEY AND DID NOT RETURN THE EQUIPMENT EVEN THOUGHI had a receipt indicating that I HAD RETURNED THE EQUIPMENT. i also learned that XXXX HAD INCREASE THE monthly fee to about {$90.00} PER MONTH WITHOUT TELLING ME. Then AFNI BECOMES NEW COLLECTION AGENT AND CALLS AND HARASSES ME AT LEAST TWICE A DAY. I requested a monthly bill from when the service started which I have not receivede The woman I SPOKE TO WAS DIFFICULT TO UNDERSTAND. i SOLD THE PROPERTY FROM NEW YORK BECAUSE i was diagnosed with XXXX i WAS NOT IN FLORIDA LAST IN XX/XX/XXXX. Once before I had a problem with XXXX when they billed me for a phone that I retuned for over 3 months. I hope that AFNI SUES ME XXXX SINCE THEY HAVE EFFECTED MY OVER XXXX CREDIT SCORE. I will be looking for compensatory damages and substantial punitive damages.

Complaint What Happened Afni notified me of an alleged debt with XXXX XXXX XXXX. If did not recognize a debt therefore, I sent the debt collector a letter, and asked for verification of the XXXX Afni made no additional communication addressing the problem. On XX/XX/2021, I received notification from the XXXX app that my credit report had been updated with Enhanced Recovery Collections. I conducted research on the company and obtained their contact information. I was informed that XXXX has been in possession of the file since XX/XX/2021. There was no correspondence regarding this purported debt. I was presented with wrong contact information on file with Enhanced which is why they were unable to contact me. According to what I was told, the search revealed that those were the most established locations and phone numbers. I never resided at the address, and the phone numbers were at least 15 years old. How valid is this debt, if the creditor did not have my address? What happened with Afni? XXXX, did not have the correct information. This tactic impacted my credit report and score. The 30 days have passed. Am I able to send verification of debt letter?

Complaint What Happened I've been disputing fraud accounts on my credit report since XX/XX/2020. 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. 375 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.

Complaint What Happened I, XXXX XXXX believes in the credit reporting system as the most important element to the success of the commercial banking system. I am also a proponent of the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau ( CFPB ) as a tool to streamline issues on credit reports that may be dragging down my overall scores. Accordingly, I address each particular issue directly with the creditor in question, before submitting any complaint to the credit bureaus if necessary. Therefore, I desire the following reinvestigation as follows : 1 ) On accounts where late payments are posted, I respectfully request a review of the past payment history and to ascertain if certain payments could actually have been posted late because of an overlap on the 30-days grace period. I realize that this may happen on occasion, and I request only a summary review internally, and do not require any documentation. 2 ) On any account that falls within the 84-month negative reporting timeline, I respectfully request either the deletion of the account if said account was closed, or the elimination of the prior payment if the account it is still active, this is well within the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ) guidelines pertaining to obsolete information. 3 ) Any collections must be proved if either a direct collection and/or debt purchase. In either event I request that a true original copy of right to pursue collection be established with each respective credit reporting agency, and if a debt purchase the guidelines proving transfer of ownership must be submitted to all credit bureaus as well as me personally to validate ownership and the right to collect. I am well within my rights requesting proper documentation as administered through the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act ( FDCPA ), the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau ( CFPB ) and the Federal Trade Commission ( FTC ), in addition to the even stricter guidelines enforced by the office of attorney general in my state of domicile. I respectfully request each investigation to be reported to XXXX, XXXX and XXXX XXXX within a reasonable time period, hopefully 30-days. I realize that the current Covid-19 crisis could cause delays, so the best efforts of each financial institution and collection agency will be appreciated under the current circumstances. XXXX XXXX

Complaint What Happened On XX/XX/XXXX a letter was sent to my address along with a bill. On XX/XX/XXXX @ XXXX I faxed a validation letter to afni asking them to provide validation of said debt. I also included the XX/XX/XXXX letter and bill that the sent. I asked for validation. Then a few weeks later I received another letter, that they did not have enough information to verify ( which I asked for validation ) and they wanted me to provide my information to them. On XX/XX/XXXX I responded to that letter and told them it is not my job to validate, it was theirs since they were collecting debt. I told them if they could not validate said debt, cease communications with me about this said debt and remove from all remarks of this debt from all my credit reports. After doing some more research on this company I found out that they re age ( as per bill AFNI sent me was dated XX/XX/XXXX-XX/XX/XXXX ) the said debt. I also found out that as of XX/XX/XXXX in New York State there was a new law passed. Statue CLRP 202 if the company that your originally owe said debt to is not based out of New York the statue of limitations on collections will be based on the original creditor Home state. According to the bill that AFNI has sent me, XXXX XXXX XXXX the creditors head quarters is in Texas. Texas SOL is 4 years. 4 years is XX/XX/XXXX. Because the home state SOL is 4 years in Texas where the head quarters is, I would like AFNI to stop reporting to credit bureaus and remove all negative remarks and their account from all my credit reports. I have not heard back from AFNI regarding my second letter dated XX/XX/XXXX. Again I did ask if debt could not be validate by them, then to remove account from credit reports and cease and desist with attempts of collection of said that they can not validate. As of XX/XX/XXXX, their accounts and remarks are still on my credit reports.

Complaint What Happened The Collection Company : AFNIXXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX, XXXX XXXX XXXX, IL XXXXTelephone : XXXX calling and sending collection bills to my house for a debt they said I owe to XXXX They are collecting {$4400.00}. I do not owe any money to XXXX XXXX XXXX, I have never had business with XXXX XXXX XXXX, and I want that AFNI company to stop their attends for collection. I recently returned a bill to AFNI and told then that I do not owe money to XXXX XXXX XXXX, and to fix the delinquency report they submitted to the Credit Report Companies ( XXXX ). The situation is that around XXXX 2013, someone made business with XXXX XXXX XXXX and probably under my name. Then around XXXX 2013 a debt collector made a delinquency report to the Credit Report Companies ( XXXX, etc ). I called the collector company and told that I do not owe any money to XXXX XXXX XXXX and I have never done business with then. I requested then to undo the delinquency report. But they kept the collection account and then transferred to another Collector Company which is this XXXX AFNI. See attached last bill for collection.
