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

Complaint:
I have made multiple attempts to address the issue of fraudulent inquiries appearing on my consumer report. These inquiries, which do not belong to me and for which I hold no responsibility, have caused significant mental and financial distress. As a victim of identity theft, I am left with no choice but to consider legal action if this complaint is not handled appropriately. These inaccurate and fraudulent items on my consumer report have prevented me from purchasing my dream house and meeting the needs of my family. The impact on my financial well-being has been substantial. I have attached a copy of the letter I previously sent to the Federal Trade Commission ( FTC ) outlining this issue and seeking resolution.

Complaint:
On XX/XX/2022 I sent a letter regarding unknown and inaccurate items on my credit report. To this day over 30 days ago I have not received a response yet. I feel like I'm being taken advantage of and being ignored or my disputes. Section 611 ( a ). states that failure to investigate these items within 30 days gives a reason to immediately remove those items from my credit report. These should be deleted promptly. I demand these account be deleted immediately or I will be forced to file litigation due to stress caused. My information was also impacted by the XXXX data breach and may have got into the hands of the wrong person. This is very concerning as I no longer feel safe with my own identity.

Sub-product: Credit reporting
Issue: Incorrect information on your report
Sub-issue: Information belongs to someone else

Complaint:
I was recently contacted by an occupant of a address I used to receive mail at, when I was homeless. They informed me that mail has been coming to that address for me for a while now. I was unaware because I no longer use that mailing address. So I contacted the USPS about the situation, and was advised to have my mail forwarded to me directly. Once I did that, I started receiving bills and debt notices that I didn't recognize. So I requested my credit report bc I haven't used credit in years. When I got my report, I noticed accts that I did not recognize or authorize. 

My car was broken into back in 2017, and myself and my childens ' personal info was compromised, which I have the police report from the incident, and will include as an attachment to this report. I am a victim of identity theft, and I'm now experiencing financial injury, due to these fraudulent accts reporting on my credit profile. In addition to my personal information being stolen, I was also notified by several companies of my information being exposed in data breaches by XXXX, XXXX XXXX, and XXXX, which I feel could possibly be another contribution to my inaccurate credit reporting. 

I have previously filed a complaint report with the CFPB and the XXXX, in reference to getting this matter resolved. I have contacted the credit agencies, and the companies reporting the fraud, directly, to no avail. 

This is my third attempt to have these inaccurate items removed from my credit report. This time I will be sending official documentation of correspondence, by way of certified mail, to the companies and credit agencies that are responsible for reporting these fraudulent and inaccurate marks on my credit and public profiles. I will include a copy of this report, my FTC report, Police report and affidavit in my correspondence mail. It is a violation of my consumer rights, for companies to furnish my personal data, publicly, unless I give them written permission first. 

In addition to participating in Fraud and Identity theft by reporting inaccurate information obtained by dishonest practices, these agencies are double reporting several of the same accts with different companies as debt on my credit report, giving the appearance of me being financially irresponsible, personally and professionally. 

I have been denied and turned down several times for business opportunities, contracts, and proper capital funding as a result, of these fraudulent reports.

I sent personal information to verify my identity through mail, just for them to not thoroughly investigate.

Complaint:
I have been part of the XXXX program for more than ten years. On XX/XX/ Mohela sent me a letter that stated I have met the 120 payment requirement to receive forgiveness. I agree. It has now been more than 120 days and I have not received the forgiveness and nobody in customer service has a clue on what the status is, where it is at in the process, or how long it will be until it is processed. This is completely unacceptable in the finance world. This impacts my credit and my financial health and well-being. The website and customer service team will tell you 30-90 days so I continued to be patient and wait. This is unreasonable and I want an immediate update on the status and most importantly for the loan to be discharged as it should be according to the program terms.
