my.equifax.com account only worked about 6 months out of XXXX, it worked for a little while after my XX/XX/XXXX complaint, it has not worked since XX/XX/XXXX. It has said " We are temporarily unable to complete this request '' since XXXX. I just tried to get my free annual credit report and was told " We've experienced an issue processing your request ''. I even paid {$9.00} for the premium service to see if that would help, it did not so I canceled the service and now feel like they stole {$10.00} from me! I have cleared cache/cookies, 2 different networks, and tried 3 different browsers. 

I already know from a year ago how horrible and useless their customer service is, I can not believe this miserable company that does nothing to help its customers is in charge of making decisions about our credit worthiness.

Product: Debt collection
Sub-product: Medical debt
Issue: False statements or representation
Sub-issue: Attempted to collect wrong amount

Complaint:
Experian was contacted twice to remove this medical debt I do not owe. Experian says the Debt Collection Agency told them it was accurate. This is against the Federal and State laws of medical debt collection/ surprise bills which I do not owe. 
I was XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX on XX/XX/2021. The driver of the vehicle fled the scene, and I suffered multiple injuries. My auto insurance XXXX was informed and was paying the bills of my medical debt as per the NJ State law and my no-fault status. Police was unable to track the criminal-driver. My insurance details were sent to all parties who treated me like ambulance, hospital and physical therapies and spine injections. Recently an unknown debt collection agency put a collection delinquency on my credit report damaging my credit score and putting me in great distress on top of my injuries. I believe that it is this agency that was sending me threatening calls which I communicated to XXXX and they said all bills they have paid. After contacting Credit Bureau they said that it is an agency in Pennsylvania asking to pay ambulance fee. The ambulance was given my auto insurance details several times and I received no notification after that. A Florida based Ambulance company named XXXX XXXX, XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX, XXXX XXXX, XXXX XXXX Florida XXXX was also given my XXXX XXXX and medical insurance details long time ago. This third party agency is outside my home state and had no contact number available. I find the recent action by the collection agency named XXXX XXXX as damaging and harassing as they threatened in the phone calls. I kindly ask CFPB to clear the wrongful debt collection in my credit reports and take action against this collection agency for damaging my credit score in this time of hardship.

Sub-issue: Reporting company used your report improperly

Complaint:
I applied for credit with XXXX XXXX XXXX in XXXX  and was denied because Transunion had a credit freeze on my report. I never placed a freeze on my report. I called Transunion and after a long time on the phone they disconnected me. I went on line to their process for removing a credit freeze and after filling in all the required information it said " unable to verify identity '' and I could not gain access to remove the freeze. I called the phone number listed for website problems and was assigned a user ID XXXX and told to email Transunion with various documents which I did. The first response was they had trouble opening the documents- likely because they were encrypted. The documents were resent in PDF format and there was no response. I asked several times if they were able to open them. After a while I received a Secure Message from Transunion that said I could remove the credit freeze on line. However, the whole point was I could not gain access to do so. Somehow Transunion sent my credit report and it says " Suppressed ''. My XXXX  who is an XXXX  wrote to Transunion 's general counsel and he never responded. I have attached the identification documents Transunion asked for originally as well as a copy of my credit report that shows it as being suppressed. I am still unable to access Transunion online. and it has refused to respond to two prior CFPB complaints filed on my behalf.

Complaint:
I received my credit report and noticed violations under the 15 us code 1681 and 15 us code 1681b ( FCRA ). The law clearly states the following15 us code 1681b ( a ) In general Subject to subsection ( c ), any consumer reporting agency may furnish a consumer report under the following circumstances and no other : ( 2 ) In accordance with the written instructions of the consumer to whom it relates. Meaning that if you do not have or havent gotten any written instructions from me ( the consumer ) to furnish an account on my report it should not be there. THAT IS A VIOLATION. I never gave written instruction to furnish any of the following account Secondly according to the 15 us code 1681.The law clearly states 1. Accuracy and fairness of credit reporting. The Congress makes the following findings : 2. The banking system is dependent upon fair and accurate credit reporting. Inaccurate credit reports directly impair the efficiency of the banking system, and unfair credit reporting methods undermine the public confidence which is essential to the continued functioning of the banking system ( 4 ) There is a need to ensure that consumer reporting agencies exercise their grave responsibilities with fairness, impartiality, and a respect for the consumers right to privacy. ( b ) Reasonable procedures It is the purpose of this subchapter to require that consumer reporting agencies adopt reasonable procedures for meeting the needs of commerce for consumer credit, personnel, insurance, and other information in a manner which is fair and equitable to the consumer, with regard to the confidentiality, accuracy, relevancy, and proper utilization of such information in accordance with the requirements of this subchapter.

I've sent out numerous letters requesting the accuracy of my Credit Report on severaL occassions and I did not get a response. Under the FCRA 15 U.S.C. 1681i, all unverified accounts MUST be promptly deleted. I have the list of accounts thats inaccurate and its in clear violation of my privacy which is a violation of the law. This is embarrassing and damaging to my reputation as a consumer. I need financing for a car and this inaccurate report is hindering me As the consumer.
