Complaint:
On XXXX XX/XX/2020 a company called fix my credit applied to equifax to remove a default on my credit report lodged by XXXX. On XXXX XX/XX/2020, Equifax emailed me to state they needed a 21 day extension. This expires on Saturday XXXX XX/XX/2020. I lodged a complaint after the first 30 days with XXXX who sent both myself and Equifax an email advising them they needed to get in contact and that a complaint had been lodged. I myself also sent two emails to the Equifax assessments team that look after investigations into errors/defaults. They did not respond. I have spoken to their customer service staff many times and keep being told XXXX are not getting back to their assessments team. They cant transfer me to their assessments team as they tell me this team do not take calls. They will not give me a date this should be resolved by. They have told me they will send an email to the assessments team each time i call but it has changed nothing. I have told them their not lifting the error is going to cause me financial hardship as i cant obtain a new job without them fixing the error default. They aren't concerned. I was given a number for their complaints team but each time you call, you wait on the line, then it comes up they are all busy and to leave a message. I have but no response. I have tried calling the creditor, XXXX, but was told that the team i need to speak to are back office and they dont take calls either? 
I give up. I really will be financially disadvantaged if they dont fix this timely. Its already been 42 days. Can you help me?

Complaint:
Thank you for your response regarding my recent dispute. I appreciate you looking into this matter.

I wanted to clarify that my dispute concerns aligning the reporting format of the Date of First Delinquency field with Metro 2 standards, rather than the factual accuracy of the date itself which you verified. 

Specifically, Section 18.3.2 of the Credit Reporting Resource Guide 's published Metro 2 guidelines requires that dates of first delinquency be reported in XXXX format for accounts more than 24 months old. 

As a furnisher, XXXX is obligated under the FCRA to report consumer credit data, including dates, in compliance with Metro 2 technical formatting standards. 

As such, I kindly request that XXXX reformat the Date of First Delinquency on this account to follow the XXXX format required for dates over 24 months old when you report this data field to the credit bureaus. The bureaus rely on furnishers to provide Metro 2 compliant information. 

Please let me know if you have any other questions or need clarification regarding this Metro 2 dispute. I appreciate your cooperation in ensuring furnished data aligns to mandatory reporting standards.

Thank you again for your assistance. 

Regards, XXXX

Complaint:
When I reviewed my credit report, I discovered that some of the information was erroneous. The 3 credit bureaus must validate these accounts in line with Sections 609 ( a ) ( 1 ) ( A ) and 611 ( a ) ( 1 ) ( A ). It is not authorized to fail to validate these reporting accounts as unverified information without providing any proof within the period allowed by law. The following accounts need to investigate and correct for erroneous reporting in my file and are listed on my credit report XXXX XXXX Balance : {$3700.00} ; XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX : {$7200.00} ; XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX : {$2200.00}.

Issue: Problem with a credit reporting company's investigation into an existing problem
Sub-issue: Investigation took more than 30 days

Complaint:
I received a Private Loan from Sallie Mae back in College in XXXX. It was transferred to Navient. I have been fighting back and forth with intimidating customer service rep to get this loan taken care of. On XX/XX/XXXX I paid {$840.00} to the company to have my dad take off the loan. This was not a payment on the loan or at least that is what she informed me. I NEVER received a receipt, payment confirmation or there was nothing. She stated i would be responsible but my loan amount would be lowered. It was reported the same amount from XXXX. It has been 13 years since I have been dealing with this loans. There are so many different balances on each report. I I have requested payment updates, goodwill letters that was just sent XX/XX/XXXX, I have called multiple times and they keep reporting on my credit as delinquent as if it is a new loan. When I called on XX/XX/XXXX, she could not provide a reason and even after asking for assistance with the payment she gave me a collection agency number. It is so deceptive to report things like this. Its in charge off one month, the next month is failure to pay and the next it is 90 days past due. They keep reaging this loan each time it hit my credit report from another company. I have been trying to work with this company to no avail. This is affecting my score terribly.

Complaint:
I am victim to inaccurate/fraudulent accounts appearing on my credit file. I was extremely upset when I found out that I had inaccurate/fraudulent accounts on my file. I immediately filed a dispute with the credit bureau in XX/XX/2021. It have been 90 days since my original complaint and I have yet to get my issue resolved. I have since filed a total of three disputes with no response from the credit bureau. According to the Fair Credit Reporting Act my issue is supposed to be addressed within a 30 day window. My consumer rights are being violated and I am suffering financial and mental stress due to the inaccurate/fraudulent accounts hurting my general reputation. I am being ignored by the credit bureaus and I know the Consumer Finance Protection Bureau is the governing body to the credit bureaus and will enforce that they are properly doing their job according to the consumer laws in place set by congress. I have attached the letters that was mailed to them over the three month span. I need all of the inaccurate/fraudulent accounts removed from my file immediately.

Complaint:
In XX/XX/XXXX, I noticed my credit score drop from XXXX to XXXX. Upon looking into the 3 credit bureaus : Experian, XXXX, and XXXX, the only negative remark they have is from my XXXX account based on the following : late payment in XXXX and high credit amount of {$270.00} on XX/XX/XXXX. These negative remarks have been on my credit report for the past 6 years. This being the only negative remarks on my reports, there is no reasonable explanation as to why my credit score dropped almost 30 points in these recent months. I already submitted disputes with no favorable resolve. I also contacted XXXX  and they have not made any other types of reporting to the bureaus. I can't get a hold of anyone on the phone to explain this drop in points to me. I also have low credit utilization on XXXX  ( a XXXX  balance for the past 2 years ) and less than 14 % on my other credit card XXXX. My loans have been decreasing significantly this year. I am extremely displeased with these credit bureaus. PLease help.

Complaint:
To Whom It May Concern, The reason for my dispute is ENHANCED RECOVERY COMPANY # XXXX was required to notify me no later than 30 days after furnishing the negative information to credit bureau reports, in writing ... under such section 623, subsection ( 7 ) ( A ). However, in my records I am unable to locate documentation that they complied with this requirement, which is a violation of the FCRA & FDCPA. Also, ENHANCED RECOVERY COMPANY failed to give me my " Mini-Miranda '' five days prior to placing this derogatory item on all of my credit reports, per Section 807 ( 11 ) & FDCPA 809, which is {$1000.00} per violation and the state of OHIO allows treble damages. Under 809. Validations of date and Mini-Mirandi under Section 807 ( 1 ) ENHANCED RECOVERY COMPANY failed to send me my initial communication before placing this alleged item on my credit reports further violating the FCRA, with {$1000.00} per violation. ENHANCED RECOVERY COMPANY is held liable as well for defamation and in the state of OHIO a creditor is who collects on a debt is considered a debt collector under 1319.12 Taking assignment of debts. Sec C Subsection ( 3 ) The assignment was manifested by a written agreement separate from and in addition to any document intended for the purpose of listing the account, bill, or other evidence of indebtedness with the collection agency. The written agreement shall state the effective date of the assignment and the consideration paid or given, if any, for the assignment and shall expressly authorize the collection agency to refer the assigned account, bill, or other evidence of indebtedness to an attorney admitted to the practice of law in this state for the commencement of litigation. The written agreement also shall disclose that the collection agency may consolidate, for purposes of filing an action, the assigned account, bill, or other evidence of indebtedness with those of other creditors against an individual debtor or co-debtors. FDCPA I fail to see where ENHANCED RECOVERY COMPANY is in compliance with OHIO LAW. I also believe that this business is not registered to operate in the state of OHIO I expect this collection account to be removed from my credit report ENHANCED RECOVERY COMPANY has not even tried to contact me regarding this collection account. Please have them remove this collection account immediately. Thank you!

Complaint:
I am requesting that you immediately delete information off of my credit report that isnt mine. I have filed a police report stating that these accounts are not mine and that my identity may have been stolen which I have included with this letter. I have listed the accounts below. I do not know how these items ended upon my credit report, but I never signed for or agreed to these charges. I dont know who gave you this information! I would like a copy of whatever says that these accounts are mine, because I assure you, I have never taken out these charges. Is it possible someone forged my name, or that you have confused me with someone else? Please check for me. Even if you receive documents with my signature, please compare them with my real signature ( which is on the police report affidavit ) because if you do you will see I did not sign anything related to these accounts. If you have any questions I would be happy to help. But because these are not mine, please remove them from my credit as soon as possible! I have been a victim of identity theft fraud. I have no idea of any of these accounts. I have never opened any of these accounts. Please review this and remove this as soon as possible.

Complaint:
On XX/XX/XXXX, I paid off a debt from XXXX  XXXX XXXX  company XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX. Paid by money order {$320.00} by certified mail, received from XXXX  letter stating paid in full, everything fine, On XX/XX/XXXX, I received a letter this time from Convergent Outsourcing/XXXX  XXXX  XXXX  stating I owe the amount but if I pay half. That constitutes Mail Fraud under 18 USC 940 ( section 1341 ) I made all copies of all my documents back from XXXX including certified letter, and money order to Convergence. In addition, I contacted the original collections, XXXX who stated " everything was paid off years ago, creditor notified ''. This is a scam and needs to be investigated. How many people pay off their debts, forget about it than get a letter saying if you pay half? This is deception in it's purest form and constitutes the legal basis of fraud. This agency and the FTC needs to investigate immediately and shut these operations down. I have these companies ( 14 ) days to correct their activities otherwise I will file in a California Superior Court. In addition, will file a complaint with the California Attorney Generals Office.
