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

Complaint:
I have reached out to the company numerous times and went to the credit agency for further investigation with no help. 
XX/XX/2018 XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXXXXXX XXXX, XXXX Re : File Number XXXX Dear Agent, Thank you for your reply of XX/XX/2018, Attached is all my correspondence with the XXXX XXXX XXXX with whom I apparently owe {$9500.00}. As you will see I have offered on numerous occasions to settle the amount owing in full upon their assurance in writing that they will provide me with the original instrument of indebtedness in its original form. 

You will see in my letters datedXX/XX/2018, XX/XX/2018,XX/XX/2018 andXX/XX/2018 that I have repeatedly made these offers. XXXX XXXX XXXX on every occasion has either overlooked or ignored my requests to exercise equity in redemption and by refusing to acknowledge that right they have refused to accept payment in the process. That settled the matter legally and financially on XX/XX/2018 however as a courtesy I gave them another 10 days to respond which they did not. This settled the matter once and for all on XX/XX/2018. 

I have since been harassed by XXXX XXXX XXXX and a third-party repossession company with whom I have no contractual relationship. They are third party interlopers and have no knowledge of the matter between myself and the XXXX XXXX XXXX and have no business what-so-ever harassing me. However, as a courtesy I have kindly offered both these agencies settlement in full on the amount owing upon their assurance in writing that they will provide me with the original instrument of indebtedness in its original form which binds myself and these agencies. Neither of these agencies have offered to accept payment from me on either occasion. 

To date XXXX XXXX XXXX, has not made any reference to the original instrument of indebtedness in any of their correspondence. It seems to me that there is no original instrument of indebtedness in existence which again settles the matter legally and financially. 

I would appreciate if you would review my documentation and obtain a statement of facts from XXXX XXXX XXXX outlining exactly why they can not produce the original instrument of indebtedness, why they have had their lawyers harass me for a nonexistent debt and why they have referred this non-existent debt to a debt collection agency. 

Thank you very much.

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:
I have been notifying the banks as well as the 3 credit bureaus about inaccuracies on my credit report for many months. I have notified you multiple times informing you and many others that the credit bureaus are not doing their job as required by Title 15 USC 1681. My personal information is private not only can they not report something without my written authorization. But they are required by law to verify and validate this information. I have sent them letters repeatedly since XX/XX/2022 and you can see clearly on the top of each page that many of these accounts have not been verified at all and many others have not been verified in months. 

This violates my federally protected rights and this needs to be addressed as soon as possible. Each violation of FCRA or FDCPA is a fine for {$1000.00} these negligent issues need to be addressed immediately! They had 30 days from the 1st letters I wrote to them months ago to validate and remove.

Attached is 1 of the 3 letters that I sent to the 3 credit bureaus.

Sub-product: Credit reporting
Issue: Incorrect information on your report
Sub-issue: Personal information incorrect

Complaint:
I am writing to file a formal complaint against XXXX, XXXX, and Equifax for their continued reporting of an inaccurate and closed child support account on my credit report, which is in violation of the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ), specifically under U.S. Code Title 15, Section 1681. 

The account in question XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXXXXXX is inaccurately reported under a name that does not legally correspond to mine. Additionally, this account has been closed due to this inaccuracy by the creditor and, as such, should not be appearing on my credit report at all. The presence of this incorrect and outdated information is adversely affecting my credit score and, subsequently, my financial opportunities. 

The FCRA mandates that credit reporting agencies must ensure the maximum possible accuracy of the information they report. The continued misreporting of my closed child support account, along with the discrepancy in the name associated with the account, constitutes a clear violation of these regulations. 

I have previously attempted to resolve this matter by contacting XXXX, Equifax and XXXX directly and have disputed this account, highlighting its inaccuracies and requesting its removal. Despite these efforts, the account continues to be reported, demonstrating a failure on their part to adequately investigate and rectify the inaccuracies in my credit report. 

Therefore, I am seeking the assistance of the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau in this matter. I respectfully request that the CFPB : 1. Investigate the reporting practices of XXXX, Equifax and XXXX in relation to my credit report. 
2. Ensure the immediate deletion of the inaccurately reported and closed child support account from my credit report. 
3. Confirm that all future reports byXXXX, Equifax and XXXX ] are accurate and compliant with the FCRA. 

Enclosed with this letter are copies of my previous correspondence with [ Credit Reporting Agencys Name ], as well as evidence supporting the closure of the child support account and the discrepancy in the name reported. 

I appreciate your prompt attention to this matter and look forward to a resolution that corrects my credit report and upholds the standards of accuracy and fairness as mandated by the FCRA. 

Enclosed is the statement from the agency closing my account along with the continued inaccurate information pertaining to my legal name. Also enclosed is my legal ID and proof of my legal name which proves this account inaccurate and in violation.

Sub-issue: Old information reappears or never goes away

Complaint:
XXXX  XXXX XXXX XXXX was recently removed from my credit report. It than reappears but states that last payment was missed XXXX of XXXX which is not valid. Per my credit history and there company last payment from me was received XXXX during the repossession. I spoke to a customer service rep at the company who stated she would get this item removed from my credit report. However it has not been removed and it has shown open and than closed more than 3 times. I have tried to work with the credit reporting people and sent 3 request to have this removed since the account is from XXXX. However I have been unsuccessful in this process as well. It has caused my credit to fluctuate up and down and I was denied a loan due to this incorrect information on my report. Both my credit report and the company show that my last payment was in XXXX but they are reporting this to the credit bureaus more recent. If the information were to be actually accurate I would owe nothing and the company would actually owe me money per my investigation. 
Can someone please help me

Complaint:
This is not a duplicate nor is this complaint filed by a third party. I am filing this complaint myself. Please see this complaint is processed to the letter of the law. I am appalled by the ability of the Credit Reporting Agencies to keep ignoring a consumer 's request for the correction of the disputed account on my Credit Report. Under the FCRA section 609 and 611, Experian is required to verify the information and status of the account being reported on my Credit Report. But in my case, they have kept reporting the disputed account claiming that the information they present is accurate, in which I greatly disagree. I am submitting this complaint to you today to request that they provide me copies of documents bearing my signature to verify the status of the disputed accounts. If Experian failed to comply with the condition and continuer the reporting of the disputed account, please understand I will seek legal action. I need the account corrected as soon possible : XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX .... Date opened XX/XX/2017 XXXX {$690000.00}

This is in Reference to the following : 1. XXXX XXXX : XXXX in XXXX 2 . Confirmation Number : XXXX 3. Case Number : XXXX Although my previous filed complaints with XXXX and XXXX were still OPEN, since they have already sent me a correspondence about the results of their reinvestigation, I need to make a secondary complaints today because I am very dissatisfied with the result of their investigation with the said Creditor, Their information don't jive with each other. It seems that they fail to communicate with one another resulting in various interpretations on this one single item that they have furnished on my credit file. 

I find it really unfair on my end because this is ruining my name and character as a consumer. My credit profile reflects my creditworthiness as a person and improper delivering of information may result in giving other creditors some negative perception by judging my credit capability.
