Complaint:
To whom it may concern, It has come to my attention. That my personal information and my identity have been compromised. I received a notice in the mail that I was involved in the Equifax data breach. I find it very alarming that your company continues to violate my rights, by reporting my personal information and following accounts incorrectly. 
I have the right to privacy. 
15 U.S.C 1681 section 602 A. States, I have the right to privacy.

15 U.S.C. 1681 ( a ) ( 4 ) There is a need to insure that consumer reporting agencies exercise their grave responsibilities with fairness, impartiality, and respect for the consumers right to privacy. 
15 U.S.C 1681b ( a ) ( 2 ) - nothing can be furnished on my consumer report without my written consent 15 U.S. Code 1611 - Criminal liability for willful and knowing violation Whoever willfully and knowingly ( 1 ) gives false or inaccurate information or fails to provide information which he is required to disclose under the provisions of this subchapter or any regulation issued thereunder, 15 U.S.C 1692 ( C ) Without the prior consent of the consumer given directly to the debt collector or the express permission of a court of competent jurisdiction, a debt collector may not communicate with a consumer in connection with the collection of any debt.

15 U.S.C. 1681-11681x The Act ( Title VI of the Consumer Credit Protection Act ) protects information collected by consumer reporting agencies such as credit bureaus, medical information companies, and tenant screening services. Information in a consumer report can not be provided to anyone who does not have a purpose specified in the Act. Companies that provide information to consumer reporting agencies also have specific legal obligations, including the duty to investigate disputed information. In addition, users of the information for credit, insurance, or employment purposes must notify the consumer when an adverse action is taken on the basis of such reports. 

Therefore I want the following accounts to be updated to the correct amount, date, status, open and closed date, last date of activity, and time. 
If you can not complete this request, please delete the accounts immediately. I have provided an exhibit of evidence showing the inaccuracies of my reports. 
Please investigate if every piece of information is correct. If not, please remove it from my credit report.

XXXX XXXX my spouse was victim of a XXXX scam through PNC online banking. I was t there when it happened but I called our bank immediately. They refused to reverse the charges- there were five separate XXXX transfers ( total of {$1000.00} ) out of our checking account. I changed the user name and password on the online banking account.

I argued there is no way we would authorize five XXXX amounts and perhaps the phone or online account was hacked. She agreed to file a complaint. I was then told theyre going to close our account! I called a number they gave me and she said all she can do is have someone call me Back regarding keeping our account open.

Complaint:
On XX/XX/XXXX I got approved for a {$500.00} Credit Card from Capital One. I have been using this card for a while until I noticed when it's time to make a payment I'm not able to. Every time I log on to the Capital one App it says " We can't access your account information right now, but we're working on it. '' I've even tried calling them to make a payment and after talking from XXXX person to another to get everything resolved they're not able to make a payment as well because my social security number is incorrect. It's under a different social security number. The company wanted me to mail them a copy of my social security number and my Drivers license to update my information on the account which I have done that but hasn't yet been resolved. As weeks and days goes by they are constantly sending me emails and letters stating that I have payments that are due by XX/XX/XXXX and I owe {$380.00} and I'm still not able to make any payments. My credit score has dropped and I've been having this issue since last year and it hasn't yet been resolved.

-This debt collector engaged in abusive, deceptive, and unfair practices of the FDCPA which it prohibits. They furnished this account that we didn't agree upon and I didn't sign an agreement on. A legal contract is signed by two parties and I did not participate in any of it. More so they didn't follow the proper 5 step validation procedure which make this unfair practices. According to the FDCPA I'm entitled to 1,000 dollars per violation and clearly they violated my rights.

Sub-issue: Didn't receive enough information to verify debt

Complaint:
This timeshare was purchased in XX/XX/2018after my husband and I attended a presentation while on vacation. There was quite some pressure to make this purchase as the associates there were VERY persistent. On top of all the alcohol they kept encouraging us to drink. We were on vacation so obviously we obliged to a little fun. We have literally never used the timeshare and we are just incurring too much debt with the maintenance fees. The presentation was a bit of a mess due to the fact they were talking so fast and they kept bouncing around from topic to topic. Now I can see they just wanted a signature for their contract but back then I was being sold a " dream. ' We were fed many lies and a lot of empty promises were made. None of which we have seen in action. And after a few drinks, well, here we are. I felt we were taken advantage of due that we were a little older and celebrating our retirement. Immediately, after the purchase we were forced to submit to financial hardship due to the pressure from the associates who conned us. Numerous times we tried to contact them for a cancellation and numerous times we got the run around. That is when Meridian came into play. They contacted us saying we owed them money, which came to a surprise to both of us as neither one of us ever agreed or signed off on any documentation for assistance from Meridian. We have asked them to cease all communication but they are also a persistent group and attempt to collect the debt consistently and it is now showing up on our credit reports. For me personally, this comes off as predatory  lending and simply an opportunity to take advantage of a more mature couple. We can no longer take the constant phone calls harassing us for payments.

Complaint:
15 USC 1681 a ( d ) ( 2 ) ( A ) ( i ) clearly states that transactions between the consumer and the Person/Corporation making the report is NOT included on the consumer reports. Yet XXXX, XXXX XXXX Equifax is reporting this information. The reporting of excluded information pursuant to 15 USC 1681 a ( d ) ( 2 ) ( A ) ( i ) on a consumer report is a clear violation of Metro2 compliance. Provide me with the Metro2 compliance disclosure on reporting transactions to a consumer reporting agency. I need the transactions reporting as late, collection/charge-off status and any other derogatory information deleted from my consumer reports effective immediately. Before you think to reply that this account has been validated, lets be clear that I am not asking you to validate or verify anything. So please do not respond by telling me that as a tactic to waste my valuable time. Some of the negative accounts have been placed in Collection/Charge-Off Status WITHOUT mailing me a copy of IRS form 1099-C Cancellation of Debt. XXXX, XXXX, Equifax and the creditors reporting collections/Charge-Offs, late payments/other derogatory information in my consumer report are in violation of 26 USC ss 6050P Returns Relating to the Cancellation of Indebtedness By Certain Entities. If this derogatory account information is not deleted from my consumer reports within 30 days, I will be forced to officially file IRS form 3949A : Information Referral AND IRS form 211.
