Consumer Narrative
My name is XXXX XXXX, a federally protected consumer, and I am making this complaint against Commonwealth Financial Systems, for committing identity theft. I have never given Commonwealth Financial Systems, any permission to use any of my identifying information to commit mail fraud 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 U.S. Code 1692e ( 12 ). I have not validated any alleged debt with Commonwealth Financial Systems and my failure to dispute the validity of these alleged debts shall not be construed as an admission of liability. As of 8/11/22, I have not received any documentary evidence, such as a trilateral contract, giving Commonwealth Financial Systems any right to collect on this alleged debt. I have never received any documentation requesting validation from Commonwealth Financial Systems, before they committed multiple violations under the FCRA and the FDCPA by furnishing this alleged debt to my consumer report, including but not limited to 15 U.S. Code 1692d ( 4 ) which the FTC defines as debt parking. If Commonwealth Financial Systems, 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 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 U.S. Code 1692c ( c ). I am demanding a cease and desist of all illegal activity, any communication and collection activity, of this and any alleged debts until Commonwealth Financial Systems, can provide me with sufficient documentary evidence that I have any legal obligation to pay them. If this documentary evidence can not be produced and Commonwealth Financial Systems, continues its collection efforts, I will file for litigation for actual damages caused and Commonwealth Financial Systems, 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 hereby notified Pursuant UCC 1-202f. Your prompt attention and response are both requested and required.
