Consumer Narrative
My name is XXXX XXXX and I am submitting this complaint without the influence of any third party. Convergent Outsourcing has continuously ignored my complaints regarding an alleged debt that is currently being reported on my consumer report. I have been challenging this account for the last several months and nothing has been done. This account is erroneous and not accurate which is a violation of federal law which supersedes all organizational policies. It is to my knowledge and is even reported on the CFPB 's website that credit reporting is NOT mandatory. 15 USC 1681B ( 2 ) Permissible purposes of the consumer report state that a consumer report should be " In accordance with the written instructions of the consumer to whom it relates. '' As the consumer, I have advised CONVERGENT OUTSOURCING that this account is not mine and I also advised to discontinue communicating with me through all mediums. A credit report is a form of communication. 15 USC 1681a ( 2B ) states any authorization or approval of a specific extension of credit directly or indirectly by the issuer of a credit card or similar device is EXCLUDED from the consumer report. Therefore, even if this debt was indeed mine federal law excludes extensions of credit that originated from the issuer of a credit card. The definition of a credit card under 15 USC 1681 is the same as it is under 15 USC 1602 ( l ) which is the term credit card means any card, plate, coupon book or other credit device existing for the purpose of obtaining money, property, labor or services on credit. CONGRESS states ANY card. The credit card would be my social security card. I am demanding to have this account removed immediately.
