I am writing to formally request a reinvestigation regarding inaccurate negative information that continues to appear on my credit report, which has not been adequately addressed in previous investigations by Equifax, Experian, and **********. Despite my efforts to dispute these inaccuracies, the items remain unresolved, and I believe they have not undergone a thorough review as required.The presence of these inaccuracies has significantly impacted my credit score, limiting my access to credit and creating unnecessary financial stress. I am simply seeking an accurate representation of my credit profile, as I believe the errors are unjustly affecting me.CURACAO Account Number: ****** Charge-off Date of last activity:TransUnion: 2/17/2020 Experian: 2/1/2020 Equifax: Deleted prior to last dispute ************************************************************ kindly request that you conduct a complete and accurate reinvestigation of the disputed items on my credit report. Should any of the disputed information be unverifiable, I ask that it be promptly removed as required under the Fair Credit Reporting Act (FCRA).Thank you for your attention to this matter. I look forward to your swift action to ensure my credit report is corrected and accurately reflects my credit history.Initial Complaint

I am not accountable for the debt associated with CURACAO. There is no contract between me and CURACAO, and they have not provided the original agreement as requested.Business Response
Date: 03/10/2025
Thank you for the opportunity to respond to Mr. ***** in regard to his dispute. Everyone who applies and is approved for Curacao credit receives a copy of the Curacao Credit Card Terms and Conditions, and that is the contract that governs our relationship as creditor and debtor. The Credit Card Terms and Conditions are also posted on our website, and are available upon request in any of our stores. In addition, every purchase on a customer's ********************** credit card generates a receipt which is provided to the customer at the time of purchase. Moreover, Curacao is an original creditor and not a debt collector within the meaning of the federal Fair Debt Collection Practices Act. As such, it is exempt from the validation requirements of the Act. Original creditors are also expressly exempted from the validation requirement by Californias ********* Fair Debt Collection Practices Act.Initial Complaint

After recently reviewing my credit report from your company, I noticed several inaccuracies that need to be addressed. The accounts in question are listed below:Company Name: CURACAO Account #: ********* Balance: $1,700 Under the Fair Credit Reporting Act (15 U.S.C. 1681g), I am formally requesting copies of all documents in your records that were used to verify the accuracy of these accounts. Please provide these documents in your response to this letter.I respectfully ask that you do not reply with a generic statement claiming the accounts have been verified. Instead, I expect to receive the actual records supporting this verification. If no such documentation exists, these disputed accounts should be removed from my credit report immediately, as required under Section 611(a)(5)(A)(i) of the FCRA.Including unverified or inaccurate information on my credit reportand continuing to share it with third partiesunfairly damages both my credit standing and my reputation. I ask that you take this matter seriously and resolve it as soon as possible.Business Response

Mr. ******** appears to be laboring under a misapprehension about Curacao's nature. Curacao is a retailer that sells on credit to customers who have its store credit card. It is not a "consumer reporting agency" within the meaning of the Fair Credit Reporting Act. Accordingly, the provisions of the Act cited in Mr. ********** complaint do not apply to Curacao.
If Mr. ******** believes that his credit report does not accurately reflect the status or history of his Curacao account, he may contact our customer service at ************ for further assistance.Initial Complaint

Thank you for the opportunity to respond ************** complaint. The ad states the following information ;
Image / Item May Vary.

Exclusive to Curacao account holders
Limit one per customer

Thus, the advertisement made it very clear that the exact model Mr. ***** wanted might not be available.
However, as a special accommodation for Mr. ****** we located the mattress he wanted in our distribution system and held it for him. On February 26, Mr. ***** visited the store and made the purchase. I personally called him to verify that everything went smoothly, and Mr. ***** said he was satisfied with his purchase.Customer Answer

All around January 22nd 2025 I was involved in a feature of a online operator namely black Chip poker called spin to get in this feature allows you to play a slot style game that will let you into a Target tournament for as little as one cent if you land three of a kind on the reels. I landed three of a kind on three separate occasions one tournament was a $15,000 guaranteed tournament no limit hold'em another was a ****** guaranteed no limit hold'em and most importantly was their featured venom tournament with a $2,500 entry fee and a 8 million guaranteed purse no limit hold em I have reached out to Black chip on numerous occasions to try to resolve the issue only to be met with excuses . I've never been told why my wins weren't honored only that my grievance would not be escalated. Black chip is a part of a group called The winning poker Network all of which operate out of *******. I have overwhelming proof in form of screenshot and video I have correspondence between myself and black chips employee s and hopefully I can come to a conclusion without having to go through legal channels.Business Response

After reviewing Mr. ************* complaint we see that this is completely unrelated to us. We are Curacao with retail store locations in ****************************************** and *******. We are not the Island of Curacao or any organization pertaining to this Island in the ********* which is probably where Mr. *********** meant to send his complaint to.

Thank you for the opportunity to respond to Ms. ******** After reviewing the details of her purchase, we apologize for the inconvenience she encountered as there may have been a misunderstanding during the attempt to return. However, we have spoken to our management staff at the store and advised to reach out to Ms. ******** to set up a time and date to bring the merchandise that Ms. ******** stated has not been opened and simply changed her mind about making the purchase. Ms. ******** was contacted on Jan 30, and she agreed to stop by the store at 6pm. Ms. ******** came in on February 03 and made the return for 3 products out of 5 in this purchase.
