State: GA
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: Was not notified of investigation status or results

Complaint:
A few weeks ago I sent letters to all 3 credit bureaus regarding some items on my credit report which I know are not accurate which is a violation of the FCRA and FDCPA and you must abide by the law. Everything I have provided in my letters is true and accurate to my knowledge. Ive received emails and letters saying Im using a 3rd party which is incorrect because I am the one sending my letters out and filing this complaint with no help from a credit repair company or 3rd party. The CRAs are in violation of my rights due to not providing a notice of dispute and for failure to communicate to me that I disputed stuff on my credit. I request these accounts to be deleted from my credit asap or I will take legal action and hire a lawyer. I want to purchase a house soon and this holding me back. 

I would like the items I disputed in my letters to be handled accordingly based on the reasons that I put in my letters.

Issue: Incorrect information on your report
Sub-issue: Account information incorrect

Complaint:
I am also reaching out to rectify an ongoing issue that I am facing, and needed assistance on this matter. Santander Consumer USA recently reported two late payments on my account for XXXX and XXXX of 2022. However, this information is completely inaccurate. In fact, I made several payments in advance back in XXXX, which covered my payments through XXXX. Additionally, it is concerning that this reporting was made almost a year later. I have been in contact with several representatives from Santander, who all acknowledge that there is an issue, but the credit department refuses to correct their decision. Today, I spoke with another representative who agreed that this is an inaccurate reporting, but unfortunately lacks the authority to make the necessary changes.

Complaint:
Discover Card Financial Svcs ( " DCFS '' ). On XX/XX/XXXX, " XXXX '' from DCFS ' Executive Office located in XXXX, XXXX contacted Complainant by telephone to inform him DCFS was conducting a " verification '' of Complainant 's income tax records. Complainant told XXXX he is a XXXX XXXX XXXX  who receives XXXX income. Complainant explained by federal law, he is not required to submit a federal income record. People on XXXX DO NOT PAY INCOME TAXES. Still, XXXX continued to 'gaslight " Complainant stating DCFS needs to conduct a verification with the IRS XXXX Complainant told XXXX the IRS will not release information w/o my consent. On XX/XX/XXXX, DCFS notified Complainant by mail and email his Credit Card was CLOSED due to " no verification. '' [ DCFS refused to disclose what they were seeking to verify in writing. ] On XX/XX/XXXX, after being transferred from DCFS ' Customer Service to DCFS ' credit bureau or XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX Complainant spoke to a Svc. Rep. name " XXXX. '' XXXX explained according to the notes, Complainant was contacted on XX/XX/XXXX. Complainant was sent electronically a Federal Income Request Form - 4506 Federal Form. Complainant electronically filled out, and signed said form. Complainant e-mailed said form back to DCFS. THIS DID NOT HAPPEN! On XX/XX/XXXX, the IRS denied verifying Complainant submitted his XXXX income taxes. This is how DCFS justified CLOSING my Discover Credit Card. 

Accordingly, DCFS has committed Federal Fraud by misusing an online, federal, electronic signature 4506 Form. Then submitting said form to the IRS without my knowledge and consent. THIS IS FRAUD! 

According to my email server, no email contact was ever commenced on XX/XX/XXXX between Complainant and DCFS. DCFS ' IP Computer Address will show they never sent me a 4506 Income Tax Request Form. ( Had they done so, I would NEVER have filed it out. ) This is a federal crime.

State: OR
Product: Credit reporting, credit repair services, or other personal consumer reports
Sub-product: Credit reporting
Issue: Problem with fraud alerts or security freezes

Complaint:
XX/XX/XXXX, XXXX I had credit freezes with all three Credit Reporting Agencies in place since as an XXXX XXXX XXXX I don't normally apply for any new credit. I was switching XXXX service providers and they needed to run a credit check. 
When I tried to sign on with each Credit Agency they made me change my existing passwords ; then they each steered me to a website page that tried to upsell me to a higher level of constant credit monitoring. Nowhere on the page was there a box for freezing or unfreezing my account, nor was there a query search box available. 

Finally, I did an internet search and saw that XXXX Bank had information on how to lift a freeze with credit agencies and provided links. I was able to temporarily lift the freezes with XXXX and XXXX. Equifax was the worst. They couldn't identify my account using my user name or email address, gave me a phone number, where a computer asked me a dozen related, multiple choice credit usage questions. Then the computer said I would have to mail in or fax the request for a temporary unfreeze. 

Total time, over XXXX hours and still don't have the temp unfreeze from Equifax. 

By placing an upsell page 1st on their website, I am sure many inadvertently are signed up for their more expensive services. The FREE services should be prominently shown on all their web pages and the Freezing, Unfreezing service easily found. 

Thanks
