Sub-issue: Debt is not yours

Complaint:
Dear Sir/Madam, I am writing to follow up on my recent dispute regarding the collection account that is appearing on my credit report, account number XXXX. I am disappointed that your investigation did not result in the removal of this inaccurate and damaging information from my credit file. 

As I previously stated in my dispute letter, I did not open this account or authorize anyone to use my personal information to do so. It is clear that my identity has been stolen and fraudulently used in this case. Your assertion that I entered into a loan agreement with XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX is simply not true. 

Furthermore, the inaccurate reporting of this account has caused significant harm to my credit score and my ability to obtain credit, in violation of Section 1681s-2 ( a ) of the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ) and the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau 's ( CFPB ) Bulletin 2013-1. It is also in violation of 15 U.S. Code Section 1681b and Section 604 ( a ) ( 2 ) of the FCRA. 

I request that you immediately remove this fraudulent and inaccurate information from my credit report, as required by law. I am also requesting that you provide me with a written statement of the results of your investigation and a copy of my corrected credit report, in accordance with the FCRA and CFPB guidelines. I expect your prompt response within 30 days of receipt of this letter. 

Please be advised that your failure to comply with the FCRA and CFPB guidelines will result in further legal action against your company, including but not limited to the pursuit of all available remedies under the law. 

Thank you for your attention to this matter. I look forward to a prompt and satisfactory resolution. 

Sincerely, XXXX XXXX CFPB Codes : Bulletin 2013-1, Section 1036 of the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act, Section 1681s-2 ( a ) of the FCRA

Complaint:
Dear Equifax, I am writing to express my dissatisfaction with the way you have handled my previous request regarding the removal of inaccurate accounts from my credit report. As I have stated before, the accounts in question, namely XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX, and XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX have violated my federally protected consumer rights to privacy and confidentiality under 15 USC 1681.

I want to remind you that it is illegal for you to continue to furnish inaccurate information to consumer reporting agencies. Under 15 USC 1681 Section 602 A, I have the right to privacy, and Section 604 A Section 2 states that you can not furnish an account without my written instructions. Additionally, 15 USC 1681c. ( a ) ( 5 ) Section prohibits consumer reporting agencies from making any report containing inaccurate adverse items of information.

I have already requested that you investigate the accuracy of these accounts and remove them from my credit report. Yet, you have failed to comply with my request, and this lack of action is unacceptable. If you do not take immediate action to remove these inaccurate accounts from my credit report, I will be forced to pursue legal action against your company.

Please do not ignore this request. The inaccuracies in my credit report are causing significant harm to my credit score and financial well-being, and I will not stand for it. I expect your prompt attention to this matter.

Complaint:
Today, I pulled my consumer reports and I have noticed once again that the consumer reporting agencies are not upholding their responsibilities by ensuring that my reports are at the maximum accuracy. My personal information has outdated addresses and incorrect names listed on there which need to be removed. There are multiple accounts where they have wrong open dates, reporting dates, credit limits, payment statuses, and etc. How can they keep saying that they are following their responsibilities under the FCRA but there are multiple inaccuracies on my consumer reports?

Account Name : XXXX Account Number : XXXX This account is reporting inaccurately and with each bureau.

Two are showing this has a charge off and being purchased by another lender while one is reporting as open with a payment balance and past due amount. All are reporting different dates of last payment, different dates of last activity, and different account statuses. I demand the method of validation which was never sent too me in the first dispute.

This is fraudulent and since they will not communicate with me as I'm considered an authorizer user, I'm out of options.

Complaint:
I am XXXX and living on a fixed income. My federal Social Security XXXX payments goes into the Direct Express debit card each and every month. On XX/XX/XXXX, I called Direct Express -that Comerica Bank oversees and told them that my money {$440.00} was stolen by the ticket merchant XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX  ) and asked to disputes unauthorized charges. They told me if I submit paperwork, within 7 business days, which I did, Direct Express would issue me an " provisional credit '' of the amount by XX/XX/XXXX. Furthermore, I was told just be patience and the money that was stolen will hit my debit card. And, if it does not, call back Direct Express by Monday XX/XX/2023. I waited and called back on XX/XX/XXXX, to be informed that my case was " closed by them '' and I would not be getting any credit. I got no notice of an investigation. I got no noticed of the case being closed. Which, leads me to believe that Direct Express lied to me all along. Plus, did not follow policies to keep consumers informed and participated in Reg E violation. I asked them what's the appeal process. I was told there is no appeal process. I asked them what's their corporate information or Comerica bank customer service information to help me with this dispute. I was told there is nothing that I could do about fraudulent activity to my debit card. Comerica Bank wont do anything to help me. They have the only and final say. The case is close and their decision is final. I am deeply upset about Direct Express and even Comerica Bank- who I called is not working to help consumers when there is fraudulent activities on consumer debit cards. I asked them what is their policies or federal policies on fraudulent activity. They told me to do my own research. They have nothing in writing to sent me. They do not seem to care that the money was stolen and was not authorized me. Nor, do they care those funds were to be used to pay for my medication. Please help. I contacted the merchant who told me it seems like a computer error on their end. But since its an Error in the merchant computer, I do not have evidence to prove it. I need help.
