Product: Credit reporting, credit repair services, or other personal consumer reports
Sub-product: Credit reporting
Issue: Incorrect information on your report
Sub-issue: Information belongs to someone else

Complaint:
Upon receiving my credit report, I noticed some accounts that I didn't recognize. I immediately reached out to law enforcement and made a police report that's on file. These police reports have been mailed to the companies indicating that I am a victim of fraud and that the alleged account does not belong to me. The accounts are not mines and I totally dispute them. I have requested several times for the company to validate the debt and prove that I am indeed the correct person that opened and owes the debt. These letters were sent via USPS to the company ; I have not received anything that VALIDATES the debt as of today. I know my rights, and this is a direct violation of the FDCPA Guidelines. I want the items validated or removed immediately as this is causing me distress and it is interfering with my life goals to obtain a home for my daughter and I. Before contacting an attorney for legal advice, I wanted to contact your agency for guidance.

Complaint:
There are accounts listed on my consumer report that have originated from identity theft. I did not provide written authorization, including a wet signature, for these accounts to be included in my consumer report. I have recently communicated with your organization regarding this matter and I am hereby requesting that these accounts be promptly blocked and removed from my report. The inclusion of these unauthorized items has caused significant emotional and financial distress, as they inaccurately reflect my credit history and responsibilities. If this issue is not appropriately addressed, I am prepared to take legal action. The presence of these fraudulent items on my credit record has hindered my ability to achieve my financial goals, such as purchasing a home and meeting the needs of my family.

Issue: Communication tactics
Sub-issue: Frequent or repeated calls

Complaint:
We financed for a piece of furniture through Conns in XXXX. I have the payments set on automatic. They tried to pull early and it didnt go through due to finances. We did a partial payment because I went into the hospital. They have called me repeatedly every day ( at least 5 times ) from early in the morning to late at night. 

When I answered and told them we cant afford it due to me going into the hospital, and that its set automatically for the XXXX. We can pay then. He said alright but you will continue to get calls until its paid. I asked if he was going to harass me knowing we cant pay and we are set up for the XXXX. He got agitated and said that they will and that its not a guarantee until we pay, so they will call us every day. Its not the first time they harassed us and have even called my work in the past saying that I owe a debt and am not making payments, which resulted in my boss calling me about the issue. I was only a couple of days behind. 
I ended up having to move jobs.

Complaint:
I am stressed and displeased that I see so many fraudulent accounts on my credit report. This is really damaging my credit worthiness. I am trying to buy a home for me and my family and this is not fair. I have tried several times to get these accounts removed. Let alone, my information was in a Experian & XXXX breach some months ago so I thought you all would protect my consumer report. I do not feel that my information is being protected. This is a defamation to my character and this is a federal law violation. According to, 15 U.S.C. 1681 ( a ) ( 1 ) ( 2 ) ( 3 ) ( 4 ) my consumer report fairness and privacy has been violated. I am upset!! I am depending on the banking system and credit reporting agency to promote my privacy and fairness and they have not. This is not right and going against my federal consumer rights. This is causing emotional and mental stress as of now. Also it is illegal these companies should NOT be furnisher people 's information to 3rd party companies so this is illegal, neglect and fraud. I have already reported this to the local police department and Federal Trade Commission. These companies and the credit bureaus can be can get sued for these damages. This is negatively effecting my livelihood and putting me in a bad space. I feel your database is inaccurate and I am filing ligation against this if these items aren't removed immediately

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 would like to file a complaint against XXXX credit reporting agencies for continuing to reporting a bankruptcy which that was verified through a third-party. Not from my own filings or from a court. This is a violation of my rights as a consumer and a violation of the Fair Credit Reporting Act. This violates Section 603 ( q ) ( 3 ) ( A ) ( i ) ( I ) of the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ) which states that a credit reporting agency shall not furnish any items of credit information unless the source of such information is a person who has been certified as an agent of such agency. 

Furthermore, similar court cases, such as Mitchel v. Experian Information Solutions , Inc. ( 2011 ) have also found such practice to be in violation of the FCRA. In this case, the court noted that the credit bureau must get its information directly from a certified source to provide accurate information. Therefore, I believe the credit bureau should not have reported bankruptcy which was verified through a third-party and violated my rights under the FCRA. 

I demand that the credit bureaus immediately remove the bankruptcy entry from my credit report. In addition, I demand that you provide me with an updated copy of my credit report. Furthermore, I demand that you provide me with a written apology detailing your mistake and the corrective action taken to address this issue.
