Sub-product: Credit reporting
Issue: Problem with a credit reporting company's investigation into an existing problem
Sub-issue: Their investigation did not fix an error on your report

Complaint:
My balance was paid to {$0.00}. I contacted each individual credit bureau XXXX XXXX, XXXX, and XXXX  XXXX about removing derogatory remarks under the comment section in my derogatory report. I was told I could only file a dispute with the credit bureau, or I could contact the creditor individually. So I contacted the creditor and explained that I would like these remarks removed in which they told me to contact the credit bureaus and they could not help me. The issue I'm having is that they keep sending me back and forth and refused to help me. I'm trying to get an approval for a mortgage loan. I've explained to both creditors and bureaus that I can not obtain a mortgage loan of any kind ( FHA/Convensional/jumbo/ USDA/VA ) because of these derogatory remarks or with any reports in dispute. I was also denied twice by two separate lenders because of having a dispute open. So I closed the dispute over 45 days ago and my credit report is showing they are still in dispute. I'd like for this creditor to either delete the report OR delete the negative remarks in the comments section and also update it as closed.

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

Complaint:
There is no way that these companies investigated this student loan. The same information continues to report on my credit. I honestly don't believe I was late and I don't agree with the total balance that they are reporting on my credit. It continues to report several inaccuracies among the 3 credit reporting agencies from the last student loan company. How is that possible? For example, Each bureau reports that I was late on a different date Also, Hows it possible that youve reported me 90 days late with no late payments prior to that?

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

Complaint:
To Whom It May Concern, I am writing to submit an official complaint to the XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX  ) concerning my interactions with Equifax, XXXX, and XXXX. Despite numerous attempts to address inaccuracies on my credit reports, I have not witnessed any substantial progress or received confirmation that the discrepancies have been promptly rectified, as mandated by the 15-30 day time frame. These inaccuracies have caused significant financial distress, and I am in dire need of a timely resolution. 

I have repeatedly initiated contact with the credit bureaus through their official dispute channels to rectify inaccuracies linked to dates, prices, credit account numbers, and account information. These errors on my credit reports have presented considerable obstacles in securing loans, housing, and vital financial services. I have attached copies of my credit reports, underscoring the discrepancies, along with the records of my prior disputes for your reference. 

The absence of a constructive response and a swift resolution to these inaccuracies has given rise to unwarranted financial hardships. I am deeply concerned about the adverse influence of these inaccuracies on my creditworthiness. I am pursuing the following actions to mitigate this situation : A comprehensive review and the immediate correction of all inaccuracies on my credit reports, in line with the legally required XXXX day period. 
A directive to Equifax, XXXX, and XXXX to expeditiously update my credit reports with the revised and accurate data. 
An equitable compensation to address the financial losses I have sustained due to these inaccuracies, which include economic hardships and emotional distress. 
I firmly believe in the critical significance of dependable and equitable credit reporting to maintain financial stability. The credit bureaus have not met their duty of providing accurate credit data and have been instrumental in causing financial distress and challenges. 

I humbly request your assistance in facilitating the resolution of this issue. Please provide updates on the progress and outcome of this complaint. I stand ready to cooperate completely by providing additional information or documentation, as may be necessary, to expedite this dispute. 


Thank you for your expeditious attention to this urgent matter. I trust in the XXXX XXXX  commitment to ensuring the practice of fair and accurate credit reporting.

Complaint:
I have disputed accounts on my credit report as identity theft with Experian several times : XX/XX/XXXX and XX/XX/XXXX, XXXX and XXXX of XXXX. The items reporting are for 2 XXXX   accounts and a XXXX XXXX XXXX account that do not belong to me. These accounts are the results of identity theft. They have deleted XXXX XXXX XXXX whom XXXX hired to harass and sue me for these accounts yet will not remove the actually accounts on the same basis of identity theft. 

I have submitted a police report and other documents to Experian, XXXX, and XXXX XXXX XXXX yet they refuse to delete these items from my credit report. They are causing damage to my credit and preventing me from obtaining housing and other credit based items. 

I have even contacted both XXXX and XXXX XXXX XXXX directly to request debt validation and yet none of them can provide with documents verifying these accounts are legitimately my accounts yet somehow Experian has said they have verified them as valid. The only documents XXXX sent me were statements which do not prove ownership. All 3 companies have repeatedly failed to protect the consumer. 

This entire ordeal has brought serious emotional distress and financial distress. My rights as a consumer and under the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act have been disregarded.

Issue: Attempts to collect debt not owed
Sub-issue: Debt is not yours

Complaint:
I was shocked when I reviewed my credit report and I still found multiple inaccuracies on my credit report from the 3 major credit bureaus. I've attempted several times to ratify the issue with the original creditors and credit bureaus and they still reporting inaccurate, unverifiable information. 
I have disputed this item with the credit reporting agency and they reported you confirmed the account as valid. I honestly do not believe to ever have any relationship with this collection agency or original creditor. Also there are several inaccuracies with this account the way it's reporting and that's a total violation of FCRA and FDCPA laws and regulations. In a good faith effort to resolve the matter amicably, I must demand proof of this debt, specifically the alleged contract or other instrument bearing my signature, as well as proof of your authority in this matter. Absent such proof, you must correct any erroneous reports of this past debt as mine. I am writing to request that you please provide the following information : 1. Please evidence your authorization under 15 USC 1692 ( e ) and 15 USC 1692 ( f ) in this alleged matter. 2. What is your authorization of law for your collection of information? 3. What is your authorization of law for your collection of this alleged debt? 4. Please evidence your authorization to do business or operate in this state. 5. Please evidence proof of the alleged debt, including the alleged contract or other instrument bearing my signature. 6. Please provide a complete account history, including any charges added for collection activity. 
You have 30 days upon receipt of this letter to provide strict proof of contract. In the event you can not provide strict proof of contract, you must cease and desist any and all collection efforts and immediately remove any derogatory information reported to the consumer reporting agencies. In addition, you will need to provide me your agreement, in writing, that you are closing your file, ceasing collecting activity, and deleting all information related to this reference number from any and all credit reports youve furnished the information to. In the event you transfer this account to an attorney without providing proof of contract, and proving your claim, he/she will be immediate reported to the XXXX XXXX XXXX and XXXX XXXX XXXX for code of ethics violations.

Issue: Improper use of your report
Sub-issue: Credit inquiries on your report that you don't recognize

Complaint:
Despite multiple attempts, I have been unable to resolve the issue of fraudulent inquiries appearing on my consumer report. These inquiries are not associated with me in any way, and I bear no responsibility for them. Their presence has caused significant mental and financial distress. As a victim of identity theft, I have no alternative but to consider legal action if this matter is not appropriately addressed. These inaccurate and fraudulent items on my consumer report have hindered my ability to purchase my dream house and provide for my family 's needs. The impact on my financial well-being has been substantial. For your reference, I have attached a copy of the letter I previously sent to the Federal Trade Commission ( FTC ), which outlines this issue and seeks resolution.
