Consumer Narrative
I am writing to bring to your attention a serious violation of my consumer rights by Rooms to go which has recently placed a collection on my consumer report without adhering to relevant laws and regulations overseen by the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau ( CFPB ). Under the provisions outlined in 12 CFR 1006.34 ( b ) ( 5 ), I am entitled to validation information from any collection agency that places a collection on my consumer report. Despite my repeated attempts to obtain this information from Rooms to go, they have failed to provide it, thereby disregarding my rights as a consumer. Additionally, according to 12 CFR 1006.34 ( c ) ( 4 ) ( i ), I have not been provided with an opportunity to dispute the account in question. This failure to afford me this right is a clear violation of the regulations set forth by the CFPB. Furthermore, it has come to my attention that XXXX XXXX is eng aging in deceptive practices, including false and misleading representations. Such actions are in direct violation of my consumer rights and are unacceptable. Moreover, it is imperative to highlight that Rooms to go/ Syncb has furnished this account to consumer reporting agencies without providing the necessary disclosures required by law. This action is in direct violation of both 12 CFR 1006.34 ( d ) and 15 USC 1681-S2 ( 7 ) ( A ). Furthermore, I have reason to believe that Rooms to go is in violation of the statute of limitations set forth by the state of North Carolina. According to North Carolina state law, debts are subject to a statute of limitations, beyond which creditors or collection agencies can not legally pursue repayment. Syncb/Rooms to go actions may constitute an attempt to collect on a time-barred debt, which is unlawful under North Carolina statutes. I am deeply concerned about the impact of Rooms to go/ Syncb actions on my financial well-being and my rights as a consumer. Therefore, I respectfully request that the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau investigate this matter promptly and take appropriate enforcement action against rooms to go/syncb for their violations. Enclosed you will find copies of relevant correspondence and documentation supporting my claims. I am also available to provide any further information or assistance necessary to facilitate a thorough investigation into this matter. Thank you for your attention to this urgent issue. I trust that the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau will take swift and decisive action to ensure that my rights, as well as those of other consumers, are protected.
