Product: Credit reporting, credit repair services, or other personal consumer reports
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:
These credit bureaus aren't doing an investigation and asking for proper documentation to verify what their reporting is accurate. I'm asking for method of verification and I've submitted documents and I'm being told they can't accept my documents but they sent them to the companies. These credit bureaus make money off these companies reporting this information and have more priorities with them than the consumer. I would like to have a method of verification sent to me and I've yet to be provided this documentation. I have inquiries that aren't permissible and when I try and dispute them to get them deleted I'm told I have to file a police report or file a FTC complaint. The FCRA doesn't state this anywhere but yet the credit bureaus are allowed to use this false information as a way to not do a proper investigation. The following accounts were charged off and since then the accounts have been repeatedly updated as charged off every month. This is an update in the payment history which to my understanding charged off accounts should not include an active payment history. I would like to add this falsely manipulates the statue of limitations. I'm demanding an immediate deletion of the following accounts : XXXX XXXX, XXXX, and XXXX XXXX XXXX. This is a violation of the FCRA and I'm entitled to monetary compensation. I'm asking for the removal of all inquiries as they are not permissible and I haven't given these companies permission to have obtained my credit report : FACTUAL DATA. XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX via FACTUAL DATA. Inquiries that aren't permissible must be deleted off credit reports and don't require an ftc or police report per FCRA.

Company: Southwest Credit Systems, L.P.
State: OR
Product: Credit reporting, credit repair services, or other personal consumer reports
Sub-product: Credit reporting
Issue: Problem with a credit reporting company's investigation into an existing problem
Sub-issue: Was not notified of investigation status or results

Complaint:
I had an account with XXXX at a previous address. I returned all necessary equipment and closed the account on that address while switching to my new address. I had the same account with XXXX and have had the same account with XXXX for four years. There was an apparent charge from my previous address that existed even after closing the account on that address. They had all current information for me to inform me of this charge, but I was never informed. I didnt receive a single text, call, email, or letter about this charge even though they had my current address, phone number, and email. I am and have been current on my bill with XXXX every month Ive been with them. My services were not stopped when this charge existed. I also was never informed of any charge by the credit agency. I only found out about this charge once applying for a home loan and found this report from the credit agency on my credit report. This charge was such a mystery to me that Ive had to speak with two of my lenders to find out who the company was that was reporting, which was southwest credit system, as well as where the charge came from. I had to research this company myself to find their contact information because they never once sent me any communication via any method whether a call, text, email, or letter. Luckily this charge only existed for a month before I found it when applying for a home loan. This has a massively significant impact on my credit score. I immediately contacted both XXXX and the credit agency to resolve the issue, but I was only told I could pay the charge, so I did. Neither company would speak to me about anything deeper than that there was a charge ; I was given no specific information about how this charge even existed in the first place by either company. Both companies best advice for me was to speak to the other. XXXX couldnt produce a single piece of evidence showing that they tried to contact me about this charge, and would let talk to me about why the charge existed or why I was never contacted at all. The very first moment I found out about this charge via my credit report, I began the process of resolving the issue. Had XXXX or even Southwest Credit Systems notified me of the charge originally I would have paid immediately like I did when I eventually found out on my own. This should be removed from my credit report.

Complaint:
On ( XX/XX/XXXX ) I sent a letter regarding inaccurate Late payments, inaccurate negative accounts, bankruptcies and unknown things on my credit report. To this day over 60 days later I have not received a response yet. feel like i'm being taken advantage of and being ignored of my disputes. Section 611 ( a ) it is plainly stated that failure to investigate these items within 30 days gives a reason to immediately remove those negative items from my credit report as well as correct my late payments as paid on time. It has been over 60 days so they should be corrected promptly. I demand these negative accounts be deleted & correct late payments as paid on time immediately or I will file for litigation due to the stress you caused me. My information was also impacted by the Equifax data breach and may have got into the hands of the wrong person.

Company: Affirm Holdings, Inc
State: TX
Product: Debt collection
Sub-product: Other debt
Issue: Written notification about debt
Sub-issue: Didn't receive enough information to verify debt

Complaint:
I had a conflict active with Affirm in Affirm 's conflict resolution center that was initiated XX/XX/XXXX of 2022. 

On XX/XX/XXXX and XXXX I provided evidence I was able to gather that Affirm asked for to settle the dispute with The XXXX XXXX for {$390.00}. 


I did not receive a response to the evidence I provided to Affirm. On XX/XX/XXXX I messaged Affirm through the Resolution Center for an update. 

I received no further communication about the dispute from Affirm until I called them XX/XX/XXXX [ 2022 ]. 

Affirm assured me my case would be visited and closed. Affirm then messaged me in the conflict resolution center asking me for evidence that I had already provided them. 

On the XXXX of XXXX, Affirm communicated to me via the resolution center that they sided with The XXXX XXXX. 

The XXXX XXXX, I believe is a fraudulent company that advertises false claims about their product. The XXXX XXXX also does not have an active contact channel for consumers to settle disputes. The XXXX XXXX also has a suspicious set of purchasing guidelines. 

According to Affirm, " Affirm will resolve all disputes in favor of the party that best substantiates their claim ( XXXX ). If Affirm resolves a dispute in favor of the merchant, the merchant will not be liable for any amount of principal or interest related to the disputed transaction. '' However, Affirm never disclosed to me whether they were able to contact The XXXX XXXX. I assume that they were not, given that The XXXX XXXX is not contactable. Yet, Affirm decided to side with the company after not once acknowledging the evidence I provided. 

On XX/XX/XXXX I called Affirm to understand the decision. I was transferred to a supervisor who hung up on me mid-sentence. When I called back, I was led to a dial tone. 

To resolve this. I would like Affirm to cancel the loan, refund me the amount I have paid, and fix their flawed resolution system.
