Issue: Problem with a credit reporting company's investigation into an existing problem

Complaint:
I am a victim of identity theft. I have tried, to no avail, to dispute my fraudulent accounts to Equifax. I have repeatedly ( 4 attempts ) provided them with all the necessary documentation including my Identification card ; social security card ; police report ; FTC affidavit ; and a notary attesting to my identity. They still refuse to abide by the FCRA by blocking within 4 days information reported resulting from identity theft. They simply continue to report the fraudulent information. 

According to the Fair Credit Reporting Act 605B Except as otherwise provided in this section, a consumer reporting agency shall block the reporting of any information in the file of a consumer that the consumer identifies as information that resulted from an alleged identity theft, not later than 4 business days after the date of receipt by such agency of ( 1 ) appropriate proof of the identity of the consumer ; ( 2 ) a copy of an identity theft report ; ( 3 ) the identification of such information by the consumer ; and ( 4 ) a statement by the consumer that the information is not information relating to any transaction by the consumer

Sub-issue: Their investigation did not fix an error on your report

Complaint:
XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX. 
XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX, NV XXXX ( XXXX ) XXXX I have tried to resolve and dispute this issue with XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX various credit reporting agencies dispute systems ; however, they have ignored my statements and kept me in collections ; while having me incur interest on a debt that is not mine. 

They are collecting for a company called " XXXX XXXX  '' which I have never heard of - much less signed any contracts with. 
I have had my identity stolen at some point since I moved to Michigan - as false wages have been reported in various states - I have already reported this to the FTC as well as the FBI and various law enforcement agencies in the in the states in question. I am not sure ; however, if this account has anything to do with identity theft Regardless of the reason- I have never heard of or consented to do any sort of business with XXXX Bank or any of their affiliates ; nor was I informed of any debt to this bank in writing at any time before or after it was transferred to XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX. 

XXXX XXXX XXXX  XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX, NV XXXX ( XXXX ) XXXX Once again ; I have never incured debt with XXXX XXXX XXXXXXXX XXXX XXXX I have disputed this successfully with both XXXX and XXXX ; XXXX, for some reason they are still on my Trans Union report XXXX I have no clue why they would bill me for XXXX separate instances XXXX years apart. 

At the time of the alleged debt that was incured I had full medicaid for myself and my family and had for many years prior. Even if there was medical services rendered- it should have been well handled by my XXXX. This is clearly a billing error that I was not aware of and then was pushed to collections. 

What's more this is an open ended non contractual debt ; which in Nevada, the statute of limitations states that it can only be collected and reported upon for XXXX years after the service was rendered or last payment recieved. As most companies take a minimum of XXXX to XXXX months to collect debt privately and this debt was accquired by XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX  XXXX XXXX  on XX/XX/2018 it would make it WELL beyond statute for both unsecured open ended debt of 4 years and be very close to the end of Statute for written and secured closed end debt contracts in the state of Nevada.

Sub-issue: Reporting company used your report improperly

Complaint:
I have repeatedly emphasized the urgency of this matter. I am fully prepared to take decisive action. Given the lack of progress or any positive developments, I am left with no alternative but to escalate this case to arbitration. Despite my previous efforts to address this dispute, no resolution has been reached. The entire extent of my grievances remains unresolved. The investigation, which was supposed to be completed within 30 days according to the law, actually took 60 days. This delay is unacceptable, as anything beyond the mandated timeframe necessitates removal. I have already reached out to the XXXX XXXX XXXX, indicating my readiness to pursue arbitration against all relevant parties for the damages incurred.. Regrettably, I am unable to relocate due to the companies ' unlawful reporting of consumer credit transactions, which flagrantly violate my consumer rights, privacy, and consumer law. I am actively engaging with the state legislator regarding this issue. Despite my attempts to resolve the matter with all three credit reporting agencies, who continue to report these illegal consumer credit transactions, I am left with no choice but to initiate arbitration proceedings to seek compensation for the damages inflicted. I am seeking {$25000.00} for each damage caused to ensure the safety and well-being of myself and my children. The distressing nature of this situation has compelled me to seek counseling and various forms of assistance. It is imperative that these erroneous late payments be expeditiously removed from my records. 
These account are reporting fraud does not belong to me.

Sub-issue: Reporting company used your report improperly

Complaint:
I hope this letter finds you well. I am reaching out to challenge an inconsistency found under the " XXXX XXXX '' section in my credit report. This relates specifically to the account listed below which has been categorized as charged off : XXXX XXXX XXXX : XXXX is showing my last payment date was XX/XX/XXXX and I've never been XX/XX/XXXX days late if that's true then why did my car get reposssesed because of late payments? 

XXXX XXXX XXXX : XXXX is showing my last payment date was XX/XX/XXXX and I've never been XX/XX/XXXX days late if that's true then why is this charged off as bad debt still on here? 

Upon thorough review of my credit report, I noticed that this charged-off account is persistently reported as maintaining an active XXXX payment history. This is not accurate and consequently, in violation of the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ), as it erroneously influences the statute of limitations. 

Under the stipulations of the FCRA, the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act ( FDCPA ), and XXXX XXXX compliance guidelines, I am entitled as a consumer to have accurate representation of all details in my credit report. With these consumer protection laws in mind, I respectfully request that you rectify this mistake by deleting the incorrect data from my credit report. Following the completion of this, kindly supply me with an updated version of my credit report that reflects the required corrections. 

As a consumer, it is my right to have access to precise and current information on my credit report. I anticipate all credit reporting agencies to uphold this obligation, in alignment with the FCRA and other applicable XXXX XXXX Laws. 

In light of this apparent oversight, I implore you to immediately expunge this inaccurate information from my credit report. Upon completion of this correction, please provide an updated version of my credit report for my review. 

I appreciate your prompt attention to this crucial matter.
