To Whom It May Concern,
I am writing to file a formal dispute and demand for correction regarding inaccurate and unauthorized information being reported by BOUNCE AI. Despite multiple good-faith efforts to resolve this matter directly with the company, it remains unresolved and in violation of federal consumer protection laws, including the Fair Credit Reporting Act (FCRA), 15 U.S.C. §1681 et seq.
The specific account in question is as follows:
Account Name: BOUNCE AI
Account Number: REMOVED
Date Opened: 05/15/2025
Reported Balance: $21,072
This account contains inaccurate and unauthorized reporting, and therefore must be immediately investigated, corrected, or deleted in accordance with FCRA §611 (15 U.S.C. §1681i), which mandates that all information furnished to consumer reporting agencies must be verified as accurate and complete.
I am requesting the BBB’s intervention in facilitating a lawful resolution of this matter, including the removal of any negative or false information associated with this account from all consumer reporting agencies.
Enclosed are copies of supporting documents verifying my identity and current address, including my driver’s license, proof of residency, and Social Security card.
Please treat this as a formal and final demand for investigation and correction. I expect a prompt and lawful response within the time frame required by federal law.

I have reviewed the response made by the business in reference to complaint ID REMOVED, and have determined that this does not resolve my complaint, and the reason why is: Nowhere does that give REMOVEDconsent to sell my information to a third party collection agency and I want the chain of custody, validation not verification, if you own the debt if so how much you paid for it from REMOVED. I also didn't receive items and also asked for a return label for the two tires I did receive that was no longer wanted after I didn't receive the entire order which has been made known from day one. What has been attached to this complaint doesn't answer the original questions of Validation Request not verification.

Bounce AI is attempting to collect a debt from me that belongs to another individual named REMOVED. The personal information in their CFPB response, including Social Security number, date of birth, and address, are not mine. This confirms they are pursuing the wrong consumer and have mishandled or misused personal identity data. I am requesting the immediate deletion of any record or tradeline associated with my name, confirmation that all collection efforts are terminated, and that they stop contacting me by any method other than postal mail.
Their response to my CFPB complaint was dismissive and inaccurate. They are reporting a tradeline to credit bureaus tied to someone else’s identity, which has damaged my credit. I have already filed a complaint with the California Attorney General and am preparing legal action.
I am requesting that Bounce AI immediately cease all collection activity, delete any credit reporting associated with this account, and confirm in writing that my personal information has been removed from their system. Their conduct violates federal consumer protection laws and has caused significant distress.

I have reviewed the response made by the business in reference to complaint ID REMOVED, and have determined that this does not resolve my complaint, and the reason why is: I have reviewed the response made by the business in reference to complaint ID 24061029, and have determined that this does not resolve my complaint, and the reason why is: Bounce AI failed to provide legally sufficient validation of the alleged debt. Their response included only a generic balance summary and templated contract, and did not include a signed credit application, chain of title, bill of sale, or itemized reconciliation of the $1,305.86 balance. Additionally, the IP address used to execute the contract geolocates to Norwell, Massachusetts not Beverly Hills, California raising serious concerns about identity misattribution and unauthorized account creation. Bounce AI also violated FDCPA § 1692c(a) by continuing to contact me via text and email after I issued a formal cease-and-desist on October 1, 2025. They contacted me again on October 8, 11, and 14, which constitutes unlawful communication. Their claim that they did not receive the letter is irrelevant under federal law.Finally, Bounce AI falsely asserted that the matter was resolved. It is not. No resolution has occurred, no legal substantiation has been provided, and their response misrepresents the status of this complaint. I am requesting that this case remain open and that the business be held accountable for its continued violations.

BOUNCE AI – REMOVED– 03/01/2024 – $5,003.00
I am filing this complaint regarding the inaccurate and damaging reporting of a collection account by BOUNCE AI, listed under account number REMOVEDfor $5,003.00. This entry has been appearing across my credit reports despite repeated disputes and without any verifiable proof or original documentation to justify its validity. I have made every effort to resolve this matter directly and through the credit bureaus, yet both BOUNCE AI and the reporting agencies have continued to circulate the same unverified data, ignoring their legal responsibilities under the Fair Credit Reporting Act (FCRA).
Under 15 U.S.C. § 1681s-2(b), BOUNCE AI—as the furnisher of this information—is legally obligated to conduct a proper, good-faith investigation into any disputed data and verify it with actual documentation, not automated or recycled responses. Additionally, 15 U.S.C. § 1681i requires the credit bureaus to ensure a complete and independent reinvestigation of disputed accounts. Both of these protections exist to prevent exactly what has happened here—an unverified, harmful record being reported as fact, with no supporting evidence or due diligence.
The continued presence of this unverifiable collection account has caused significant harm to my credit standing, emotional distress, and ongoing frustration. No original contract, billing record, or debt validation has ever been provided to confirm the legitimacy of this claim.
I am therefore requesting the immediate deletion of this collection account from all credit reporting agencies. If BOUNCE AI cannot produce valid, original documentation proving that this debt is accurate and lawfully collectible, it must cease reporting it under the obligations set forth in federal law. Continuing to report unverifiable information is not only negligent but a clear violation of my consumer rights under the FCRA.

DEAR BOUNCE AI:
I am filing this complaint against Bounce AI Inc. regarding an alleged debt that has been reported to credit bureaus under my name. I am formally disputing the accuracy, validity, and completeness of this account. I have no verified relationship with Bounce AI Inc. or any original creditor they claim to represent, and I was never provided proper notice of this alleged debt.
Pursuant to my rights under the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act (FDCPA, 15 U.S.C. §1692g(b)) and the Fair Credit Reporting Act (FCRA, 15 U.S.C. §1681 et seq.), I demand full validation of this account, including:
Original credit agreement or contract allegedly signed by me
Full itemized statement showing how the balance was calculated
Forward flow or assignment agreements proving legal ownership
Complete payment history
Validation notice and any default or collection notices issued
Proof that the debt is within the statute of limitations
Documentation authorizing credit reporting and any prior dispute investigations
To date, Bounce AI Inc. has not provided any of these materials. I have only received automated or generic responses, which do not meet the legal standards for validation. Therefore, this account remains unverified and unenforceable.
Continuing to collect or report this unvalidated account violates FCRA §§1681e(b), 1681s-2(b) and FDCPA §1692g(b). Court rulings such as REMOVED and REMOVED confirm that unverifiable or misleading data cannot remain on a consumer’s credit file.
Immediate deletion of this tradeline from REMOVED, REMOVED, and REMOVED.
Written confirmation that the account has been permanently closed and withdrawn.
Cease and desist all collection, reporting, and communication related to this account, except to confirm deletion or closure.
Failure to comply will result in complaints filed with the CFPB, FTC, and State Attorney General, and pursuit of all remedies available under law.
