Complaint:
Recently, I viewed my XXXX credit report and found out that Citizens entered negative information about me that resulted in a XXXX point drop in my credit score. I called Citizens and informed them that their information was incorrect. I do not have an outstanding balance with Citizens and owe them nothing. They agreed and have stated that they will conduct an inquiry to try and get my credit score corrected. They said it will take two weeks. This is abslutely unacceppptable. I generally carry an XXXX plus credit score and Citizens careless mistake resulted in a dramatic drop in my good credit. Mistakes like this have real implicaations for consumers and it is wrong.

I, XXXX XXXX, am stating that Equifax is violating 15 U.S.C 1681b ( 2 ) ( a ) -Permissible Purposes of Consumer Reports states that a consumer reporting agency such as Equifax may furnish a consumer report in accordance with the written instructions of the consumer. I, XXXX XXXX, NEVER gave Equifax any such written consent for them to report any information on my consumer report. Since I gave no consent, this is indeed Identity theft. Since I did not provide consent, I am demanding that you proceed to remove these accounts listed below from my Equifax credit report : ( Original Creditor : XXXX XXXX XXXX  ) XXXX If you choose to not remove these items from my credit report, then I WILL NOT extend my credit to ANYONE nor will I give Equifax permission to furnish my credit report. Additionally, pursuant to 15 USC 1681 ( a ) ( 1 ) the banking system is fully dependent firmly on the braise of FAIR and ACCURATE consumer reports. Equifax is violating the law and reporting these inaccuracies to my credit report and hence causing me to lose confidence in the banking system. IF Equifax wants to continue to do business with me XXXX XXXX, then they need to DELETE inaccurate accounts from my Equifax consumer report expeditiously. I am an extremely litigious consumer as well. Please do not respond with identification verification, this is indeed XXXX XXXX.

Sub-issue: Personal information incorrect

Complaint:
I have had numerous issues with Experian. In XX/XX/XXXX, I spent hours trying to get a credit freeze and had to submit numerous documents such as copies of Drivers license, bills, etc., to prove who I was. 

Finally in XX/XX/XXXX, I got a letter from Experian sent to my correct address. 

Then In XX/XX/XXXX, I requested a credit report from XXXX   and found out that I might have been the victim of identity theft. 

The letter I got from Experian was sent to an address I had quite a while ago. So, they have corrupted their files between XX/XX/XXXX and XX/XX/XXXX of this year. 

I tried to get this fixed by filing a dispute online with them. And they wouldn't let me provide the information. I kept getting error messages. 

I shouldn't have to waste hours and hours of time not to mention the aggravation and concern with sending private documents in the mail to these companies. If they are making money off of me, the least they can do is be sure the information they provide is accurate and not make me jump through hoops regarding my own information! 

Anyway, please see to it that Experian gets its act together and changes my address back to the correct one. 

Thanks, XXXX XXXX XXXX

Complaint:
Past Story : We get a discount on our property taxes. Each year we go in for review. XX/XX/XXXX review showed we had to pay more, there was an adjustment for XX/XX/XXXX & XX/XX/XXXX. XXXX/XXXX # XXXX were sen adjustment bills. They were late in paying, interest & penalties were added, but they did make some payments. There was a balance due by XX/XX/XXXX or more interest & penalties would be added, as of XX/XX/XXXX that balance has not been paid. Our prop tax account reads in big red letters : DELINQUENT STATUS. I have contacted them by phone & email several times. They told me my taxes would be paid when due, I told them they are past due, they would not give me a date when they would be paid. For me not to worry I would not be responsible for any of those interest & penalties. So far the payments made include interest & penalties taken out of my escrow account. XXXX XXXX at XXXX Co Assessors Office has called them and sent paperwork trying to get payment. There are 2 attachments. I have not checked out credit report, this better not be on there as delinquent. 
I also want to add that they are late, many times, paying our homeowners insurance which is thru Foremost.
