Complaint:
This is XXXX XXXX submitting yet another CFPB complaint to address the Credit reporting Agencies inability to verify the information being reportd on my Credit Report as well their inability to report accurate information on my Credit File. I previously sent a letter addressed to the Credit Bureaus dated XXXX XXXX, requesing that the Credit Bureaus take their time to VERIFY THE INFORMATION THEY REPORT ON MY CREDIT FILE. I believe I am victim of Identity theft and the items I am disputing were the results of such crime. I Started disputing my Credit File on XX/XX/XXXX under the provisions of the Fair Credit Reporting Act section 605b and the last letter I sent to the Credit Bureaus was dated XX/XX/XXXX. The Credit Bureuas have failed to remove the disputed items completely from my Credit report and insist that the information they report are accurate and verified. I do not agree with their findings and demanded proofs of verification for me to be able to verify the information myself. But the Credit Bureaus have failed to send me copies of documents to support their claims. I am now submitting this CFPB complaint to order the Credit Bureuas to remove the disputed items completely from my Credit Report as soon as possible for they have failed to comply with my requests. I need the following items deleted immediately : XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX

Complaint:
Someone other than me tried to open a store credit card in my name through Kohls, XXXX XXXX, XXXX and XXXX. I believe only the Kohl 's charge was accepted, and that card was used for over XXXX dollars. The other cards were rejected but I have hard inquires on my credit report that were not started by me, and are fraudulent, and I would like removed. XXXX and XXXX require me to report these fraudulent inquires before I dispute them with them. 

I have spoke with Kohl 's and their fraud department is handling that account. I will call XXXX XXXX, XXXX, and XXXX tomorrow to alert them to this fraud as well. 

I am taking action to freeze my credit reports with all three to avoid this fraud in the future.

I don't appreciate the lies coming from the person who wrote this letter. I did place a payment plan but lvnv funding still placed it on my credit files. I've always had trouble with these people. I had a right to change the payment amount to one that fits my budget. But they still lie to the CFPB to continue to do what they're doing to me LVNV is the biggest civil rights violator out their. I was trying to make a payment that fits my budget which I have now and made two payments on this account. That is what this woman failed to mention.

Complaint:
I HAVE REPEATEDLY TRIED WITH ALL THREE CREDIT REPORTING BUREAUS AND MY STUDENT LOAN SERVICER TO CORRECT INACCURATE PAYMENT INFORMATION THAT IS SHOWING ON MY CREDIT REPORTS, MULTIPLE TIMES TO NO AVAIL. ARE THESE COMPANIES OUT OF THE SCOPE OF THE LAW? REPORTED INFORMATION ON CONSUMER CREDIT REPORTS HAS TO BE 100 PERCENT ACCURATE AND TRUE. I HAVE DOCUMENTATION SHOWING MY STUDENT LOANS ACCOUNTS WERE IN FORBEARANCE DURING THE TIME THAT IS SHOWING LATE PAYMENTS. 

ON THE OTHER HAND THE GENERAL PAYMENT HISTORY INFORMATION THAT IS REPORTED IS NOT EVEN CORRECT OR ACCURATE INCLUDING THE ERRONEOUS LATE PAYMENT INFORMATION. THE PAYMENT HISTORY GOES FROM ONE MONTH BEING CURRENT TO THE NEXT MONTH BEING 90 DAYS LATE. HOW IS THAT POSSIBLE IF ALL INFORMATION IS SUPPOSED TO BE ACCURATE. NO ACCOUNT CAN GO FROM BEING CURRENT ONE MONTH AND THEN 90 DAYS LATE THE VERY NEXT MONTH. IT ALSO HAS MANY MONTHS THAT THEY DID NOT REPORT ANY INFORMATION, AGAIN HOW CAN THAT BE POSSIBLE? THAT DOES NOT MAKE ANY LOGICAL SENSE IN ANY FORM. I AM REQUESTING MY ACCOUNTS BE THOROUGHLY REVIEWED AND UPDATED WITH FULL PAYMENT HISTORY AND ALL LATE PAYMENTS BE REMOVED AS I WAS NEVER LATE ON THESE ACCOUNTS.

Complaint:
I am stressed and displeased that I see so many fraudulent accounts on my credit report. I've been filing several complaints and getting the same results. This is not FAIR!! 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 XXXX & Equifax 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 fraud alerts or security freezes

Complaint:
I have placed a credit freeze with all the 3 credit bureaus. However, I have been unable to lift my credit freeze with Equifax for more than 6 months now. 
I tried lifting the freeze through the website, but I am greeted with the error " We are temporarily unable to retrieve the status of your security freeze. Please try again later. '' I thought it was a website issue and tried again a few times for next 3 days. 
I then called their toll free number. After numerous attempts and long wait, I was able to reach an agent. The first agent disconnected the call after a long wait. 
The next agent said they couldn't verify me. I called again, and the agent was able to verify me, but wasn't able to understand why the website wouldn't lift the freeze, but the agent lifted the freeze. 
After repeated attempts I haven't been able to get Equifax to let me freeze/unfreeze my account through website.
