My information was sold and bought illegally because I was a victim of the Equifax data breach. I want these items Deleted from my credit reports effective immediately. I am attaching proof that Equifax has admitted that I was in fact a victim of this data breach and Equifax has done nothing. Please help me delete these illegal accounts from my credit reports. Inside my Equifax account I probably have submitted a dozen dispute cases claiming fraud and identity theft and they have done nothing about it.

Issue: Written notification about debt
Sub-issue: Didn't receive enough information to verify debt

Complaint:
You are claiming I have an account with you or I owe you something. I have never entered into any business arrangement and I have never signed any contract to conduct any kind of business with you. Also, because you are a 3rd party collector, you have no permission to furnish any information on my credit report in the first place. The law states that before you collect any information about me, you have to get my authorization to access my credit report for any reason. You didnt do that first, and theres no way I would ever give a slimy collection company permission to slander me on my credit reports.

Company: EQUIFAX, INC.
State: TX
Product: Credit reporting, credit repair services, or other personal consumer reports
Sub-product: Credit reporting
Issue: Incorrect information on your report
Sub-issue: Account information incorrect

Complaint:
I am writing to formally lodge a complaint against both XXXX XXXX XXXX and XXXX due to their continued dissemination of fraudulent credit reporting. The ongoing inaccurate information they persistently report concerning an account on my credit profile is deeply concerning and demands immediate attention. 


**Account Name : ** XXXX XXXX XXXX **Account Number : ** XXXX **Account Type : ** Auto Loan **Responsibility : ** Individual **Date Opened : ** XX/XX/XXXX **Status : ** Paid, Closed. 
**Status Updated : ** XX/XX/XXXX I must stress that this account has never had a late payment, and been successfully closed and paid in full. 

XXXX XXXX XXXX is notorious for extending predatory loans to countless financially vulnerable individuals seeking to acquire used vehicles. These loans are laden with exorbitant interest rates and burdened with costly add-on products, thrusting borrowers into a cycle of debt. 

Fortunately, through my affiliation with the XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX, I managed to refinance with the XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX, effectively sidestepping XXXX XXXX XXXX exploitative lending practices. 

However, my optimism was short-lived, as it has come to my attention that the creditor deliberately withheld the payoff check for a staggering 60 days.

Subsequently, they purposefully relayed inaccurate information to the credit reporting agencies, falsely asserting late payment ( s ) of 30 and 60 days. These assertions conveniently correspond with the period immediately preceding the loan payoff.

I have undertaken several concerted efforts to dispute this misinformation.

While Consumer Reporting Agencies hold a pivotal role and bear the responsibility of utmost accuracy in reporting consumer information, the gravity of the matter necessitates a thorough investigation.

I earnestly request an in-depth inquiry, backed by concrete evidence in the form of statements validating any claims of late payments. It is my genuine plea that the account 's status be rectified to accurately reflect " paid in full, '' and any indication of late payments be deleted. These late payment claims are baseless, as I can affirm with absolute certainty that I was NEVER late in my payments.

This issue transcends mere discrepancies and strikes at the heart of my financial integrity. I implore you to understand the gravity of this situation and act swiftly to rectify these damaging inaccuracies. I kindly ask for your prompt attention to this matter and a timely resolution. You hold the power to restore the integrity of my credit report and, in doing so, alleviate the undue distress this situation has caused.

Please treat this matter with the urgency it deserves. I eagerly anticipate your comprehensive response, complete with a detailed plan for investigation and resolution.

Complaint:
To Whom It May Concern, I have attempted to resolve this issue via customer contact and supervisors to no avail. This is regarding a credit consolidation issue with 5th3rd bank. I contacted XXXX XXXX XXXX ( XXXX ) on XX/XX/XXXX regarding a credit consolidation. The amount of {$3900.00}. XXXX advised a 1-7 days for the transaction to post. I contacted 5th3rd on XX/XX/XXXX as the amount was not posted. The representative advised the process takes 2-4 weeks. I called back to 5h3rd on XX/XX/XXXX which is 4 weeks and was advised there was no transaction. I have called back a total of 8 times and spoke with two supervisors who basically told me this is not their concern as there is nothing to trace. I guess its true that customer service is just dead and I as a consumer need to take action into my own hands as nobody really helps a customer. Here is the details of the " electronic transfer '' from XX/XX/XXXX. XXXX Address : XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX, IL XXXX Amount- {$3900.00}

Thank you. ( XXXX  XXXX XXXX )

Complaint:
On XX/XX/2022, TD Bank allowed {$320.00} to be taken directly out of my bank account although I do not currently have an account with XXXX and have not over the past year. XXXX XXXXXXXX  has not provided me with any products or services to allow this withdrawal. I have tried multiple times to resolve this, with XXXX  representatives assuring me I would receive a refund. However, each time, representatives continue to push back the refund date and do not provide any substantive help, even providing fake names. This money was not only my entire paycheck for two weeks, but also over-drafted my account by $ XXXX. I contacted TD Bank as I filed for fraud when this unauthorized withdrawal occurred and they refunded me. However, on XX/XX/2022 the bank withdrew a reverse provisional credit from my account without my permission and left me with an overdraft amount. When I contacted the financial institution, they responded by telling me the only thing they can do is file a dispute which they stated will not be approved. I have still not received a refund from either TD bank or XXXX XXXX. TD bank took my money and gave it to a company without my authorization. As a result, I can not pay my bills or even afford adequate food for my family. I am a single mother and this income is essential so I can care for my daughter.
