Company: EQUIFAX, INC.
State: MI
Product: Credit reporting, credit repair services, or other personal consumer reports
Sub-product: Credit reporting
Issue: Problem with a credit reporting company's investigation into an existing problem
Sub-issue: Their investigation did not fix an error on your report

Complaint:
I made numerous attempts ( XX/XX/XXXX, XX/XX/XXXX and XX/XX/XXXX ) to remove inaccurate accounts from my credit report and accounts are keep coming back verified and accounts are still appearing on my report. I will like to know how these accounts are being verified when the account addresses are not even on my credit report. The accounts that need to be removed are XXXX XXXX XXXX, XXXX XXXX XXXX, XXXX XXXX XXXX, XXXX XXXX XXXX, XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX  XXXX, XXXX XXXX XXXX , and XXXX XXXX. I need these accounts removed immediately. The only address I am affiliated with is XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX MI XXXX. 

I urgently request the immediate deletion of these fraudulent accounts from my consumer report. These accounts should not be furnished on my report, as they are in direct violation of my rights as a federally protected consumer. Under 15 U.S. Code 1681b, the permissible purposes of consumer reports do not apply in this situation, as I never provided any written consent to any consumer reporting agency to report such information on my consumer report. This lack of consent constitutes identity theft, and it is my right as a consumer to have these accounts removed immediately.

I expect prompt action on this matter to rectify the violation of my rights as per the law. Your cooperation in resolving this issue promptly will be greatly appreciated. Thank you.

Complaint:
XXXX XXXX XXXX is reporting a collection account on my credit report, that they should have never reported. Prior to the account appearing on my credit report, I never received any prior notification. According to the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act, they should have provided me with a 30-day notice to dispute, but they did not do that. Therefore, it is illegal for this collection agency to continue to report this account on my credit profile.

Company: Suttell, Hammer & White, P.S
State: ID
Product: Debt collection
Sub-product: Credit card debt
Issue: Attempts to collect debt not owed
Sub-issue: Debt is not yours

Complaint:
I XXXX XXXX a federally protected consumer was sent a collection notice from SUTTELL & HAMMER ATTORNEYS AT LAW on XX/XX/XXXX. SUTTELL & HAMMER ATTORNEYS AT LAW has threatened me and used abusive tactics in their letter sent to me, which I did not give them permission to send me in the first place.

SUTTELL & HAMMER ATTORNEYS AT LAW has violated federal law when they sent a bill to my home saying that I owed them {$2000.00}. They violated my consumer rights right there pursuant 15 USC 1692b. They also violated 15 USC 1692b ( 5 ), 15 USC 1692B ( 2 ) 2 TIMES and 15 USC 1692c ( by sending the letter to my home ). 15 USC 1962 TWO TIMES, 15 USC 1692E ( 10 ) FOUR TIME and 15 USC 1692E ( 3 ). There was no proof in the letter that said alleged debt was owed, just some nonsense about XXXX, XXXX being the creditor, with no factual evidence to back it up. 
I am suspecting this is identify theft on my end. I sent them over a debt validation letter along with a cease and desist and a affidavit of truth along with a {$10000.00} invoice for their violations against me. This was all sent via return certified mail sent on XX/XX/XXXX and an individual received this on XX/XX/XXXX at XXXX.

Complaint:
I filed a dispute for incorrect information on my credit report. I received an email from the credit bureau stating that they are assuming the disputes are coming from a 3rd party. They in fact did not come from a 3rd party. l even called them to verify it was me and they still refused to process my disputes. I wasted money on mailing my disputes out. I sent personal information to verify my identity through mail, just for them to not thoroughly investigate.

Issue: Problem with a company's investigation into an existing problem
Sub-issue: Their investigation did not fix an error on your report

Complaint:
On XX/XX/2023, I sent a certified letter to Equifax Information Services, LLC asking them to correct inaccurate information on my credit report. The letter was accompanied by extensive and conclusive evidence that the debt in dispute was previously settled with the creditor. My letter and evidence was signed for and received by Equifax on XX/XX/2023. On XX/XX/2023, I received a letter from Equifax that their investigation was " complete ''. However, the inaccurate information was never corrected or removed from my Equifax report. 

According to the FCRA, " If a company that provided disputed information to a credit reporting agency is unable to determine whether the information is true or not, the law requires them to tell the credit reporting company the information could not be verified so that the credit reporting company will stop reporting it. '' I have attached my original dispute letter with accompanying extensive and conclusive evidence, confirmation that my dispute letter was received by Equifax Information Services, LLC, and a copy of their response for your review.

After you review this information, please make sure Equifax Information Services, LLC adheres to the FCRA and corrects or removes the inaccurate information from my credit report. If they fail to do so, please inform them of my intent to sue in Federal Court to have the erroneous information reviewed. 

Thank you.

Product: Credit card or prepaid card
Sub-product: General-purpose credit card or charge card
Issue: Advertising and marketing, including promotional offers
Sub-issue: Confusing or misleading advertising about the credit card

Complaint:
In XX/XX/2018, have applied for carecredit under Synchrony bank for a XXXX XXXX in the amount of {$1500.00}. The total cost of the XXXX XXXX  was {$1300.00}, and this is charged on the XXXX of XXXX 2018. I was informed multiple times by the worker at the dental office and the representative of carecredit that this load has no interest and the load will be pay off in 18 months. They recommended me to enroll in autopay to prevent late payments, so I did. After 20 months, they continue to charge my card, and after reviewing the online statement which they sent to me with little to no information in the email body. I discover that I currently still have a remaining balance of XXXX, which was more than what I start off with. After contacting them, I was told that the zero interest promotion ended in XXXX ( which I was not informed or contacted by anyone ). They told me that the minimum payment that I make every month is not sufficient to pay off the loan in full, and they place a XXXX dollar interest charge on my account in XXXX. After further investigation online I found that Carecredit had history of this ill behavior, and was charged by CFPB to refund XXXX XXXX dollars. They fail to follow the enforcement of " representatives will contact most CareCredit consumers within 72 hours of the initial transaction to explain the product to them over the phone. In addition, for certain transactions of more than {$1000.00}, consumers will enroll directly through a CareCredit representative and not through the doctor or dentist office representative. '' I talk to them about such matter, but the representative was rude and insist that I have full responsibility for the balance. He threatens to hurt my credit score, so I have no other choice but to pay the amount in full at this time.

Complaint:
I received a convenience check from my U.S. Bank credit card. I deposited it into my bank account. While the check was in the process of getting cleared my account was charged an unauthorized purchase. I called to inform customer service and told them about the check that was deposited. They told me that they would wait a few days for the check to clear and then close the account and send me a new card. They did not do what they told me and the check bounced. I was charged a {$12.00} fee. The new card was sent to me on XXXX XXXX. On XX/XX/2023 I received new convenience checks so I tried to deposit XXXX of them. They check bounced and I was charged another {$12.00} fee. When I called U.S Bank I was told the checks were from the old account and were no good. I asked them how I would know since they were sent to me three weeks after my account had been changed. The agent and supervisor I talked to said it was my problem not theirs. Now I have had two returned check fees in less than a month and my bank is placing holds on all my deposited checks.

Complaint:
Honestly this is the last time im going to resolve this issue with you guys before I follow suit with my lawyer. I have submitted a complaint back in XXXX because I did not get a response from XXXX XXXX or transunion since XXXX and NOTHING was resolved. They claimed the responded to the complaint and investigate and LIED. They falsy validated these accounts attached because it is still reporting different dates across all three credit bureaus. They did not sent me anything to validate the accounts. I ran out of patience and tried everything to not bring this to my lawyer since I gave them 5 months. I submitted a complaint and nothing updated. Please look into what these credit bureaus are doing because they are clearly violating my rights as a consumer and going against FCRA. I need these accounts deleted because they did not properly validate ANYTHING reporting different information to each credit bureau. 

Under 15 USC 1681 ( a ) congress defines a consumer report as the term consumer report means any written, oral, or other communication of any information by a consumer reporting agency bearing on a consumers credit worthiness, credit standing, credit capacity, character, general reputation, personal characteristics, or mode of living which is used or expected to be used or collected in whole or in part of the purpose of serving as a factor in establishing the consumers eligibility for 15 USC 1681 ( 2 ) i excludes the reporting of report containing information solely as to transactions or experiences between the consumer and the person making the report. 

The term person means any individual, partnership, corporation, trust, estate, cooperative, association, government or governmental subdivision or agency, pr other entity. 

All of the companies listed below are CORPORATIONS as defined by congress as a person. 

Therefore the transactions between the consumer ( me ) and these corporations should not be on my consumer report under FEDERAL LAW!! You are in direct breach of the federal laws put in place to protect the consumer.
