Sub-product: Credit reporting
Issue: Incorrect information on your report
Sub-issue: Information belongs to someone else

Complaint:
I disputed the account because I noticed it was on my credit report and I did not authorize this account. To dispute this account, I mailed a dispute letter, a copy of my FTC report for identity theft, a copy of my police report for fraud/impersonation/identity theft, XXXX forms of personal identification ( copies of my driver 's license, my social security card, and one of my recent bank statements from the past 3 months ) along with a copy of the page of my credit report ( s ) on which the account was listed, in an envelope sent to the creditor of the account and I also put copies of the same documents in an envelope sent to all three credit bureaus ( Experian, XXXX, and XXXX  ), this was 60 days ago. The creditor and the credit bureaus have not mailed me a notarized contract with my signature on it within their 30-day allotted timeframe allowed by the FCRA ( Fair Credit Reporting Act ) to validate the account, and thus the account must be immediately deemed invalid, fraudulent, and not my liability, and it is hereby illegal for the credit bureaus and creditors to report this account on my credit report because the account was not validated within the required 30-day timeframe, and so the solution to my complaint is for the credit bureaus and for the creditor to immediately delete this account from my credit report. If the creditors and credit bureaus do not do this, I have the power and the evidence to sue them and win {$10000.00} due to the illegal credit reporting acts that they have committed which continue to harm my credit worthiness and access to financial wealth-building opportunities such as loans for real estate purchases. 

The account was already charged off as well so the creditor does not even have the right to report information about this account since they charged off the account to a collections company. 

The account was also deleted from my XXXX  and XXXX  reports as well so in order to correct the inconsistencies between the Experian, XXXX, and XXXX credit reports, the account needs to be deleted from the Experian credit report. 

The information for this account listed on my credit report is : CREDITOR : XXXX XXXX  XXXX, BALANCE {$11000.00}, OPENED XX/XX/2017, ACCOUNT XXXX

Complaint:
I withhold my consent for electronic communication and explicitly request that all responses be conveyed in written form through the United States Postal Service ( USPS ). I am the primary complainant in this matter, and I hereby grant full authority to the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau ( CFPB ) to thoroughly investigate and address this claim. I am writing to formally dispute inaccurate and incomplete credit information that is currently included in my credit report. I am distressed by the presence of this information, and it appears that the bureau has failed to maintain reasonable procedures to ensure maximum possible accuracy in the credit reports published. Credit reporting laws mandate that bureaus report only 100 % accurate credit information, and every effort must be made to ensure the accuracy and correctness of the reported information. The information listed is entirely inaccurate and incomplete, constituting a serious error in the reporting. I request the immediate deletion of this misleading information and the provision of a corrected credit profile to all creditors who have received a copy within the last 6 months or the last two years for employment purposes, in accordance with FCRA 15 USC 1681. Failing to provide such evidence, the items must be promptly deleted from my credit report : XXXX XXXX  XXXXXXXX

Complaint:
Thank you so much for taking the time to help me, this has been an on going dispute for 4 months. The credit card that I'm speaking about is a ulta credit card, I will leave he numbers at the end of his message. I discovered a fraudulent use on my ulta CC after looking at my credit report on XXXX XXXX. My husband pays the bills '', he would pay all bills with a flat amount mostly above and beyond to pay cc off quickly. Bill pay is automatically set up. Please see statements. I called and spoke with customer service, twice in 3 days. I wanted an answer as to " why We have NEVER Received statements for this credit card '', what was charged on this card? Why is there only late fees and interest as charges? They could not give me an answer, I filed a dispute. I reported this card as fraudulent not my charges and paid in full ( over two years ago ) Unfortunately, my husbands mistakably continued to pay it. Lastly, asked OCC to remove a late 30day on my credit report. Also, in XXXX I went on line and registered for on line statements, I went as far back as the online statements would allow and there is nothing but late charges and interest. After four months of waiting for a response I called the credit card company to ask about the payment I didn't want another 30 day late on my credit report. And I wanted to know the resolution of the dispute. At this point when I called the credit card company, I was given the runaround, they said I needed to speak to a different department and when they would transfer me they would hang up on me. This went on for about two weeks, finally I called and asked for the manager and I demanded an answer. I was told that they did not approve the dispute because I had filed for a bankruptcy back in XXXX? I said that has nothing to do with this fraudulent credit card. They said I had to continue paying and they would not take off the 30 day late. I desperately need help in this situation please let me know if you have any other questions. They have never sent me a written report. I am requesting all my money back from the overpayment of a paid off credit card and the fraudulent charges on the credit card removed. Please let me know if you have any questions. XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX last four digits of the credit card or XXXX To date ulta CC did take off the 30day late.

Sub-issue: Account status incorrect

Complaint:
Evidently we were suppose to recertify for the loan and didn't not get anything requesting this information. I could not login after multiple attempts for the full year. Would not take my security questions so I could request a new password. 

We were set up to be paperless so since I wasn't getting the emails I did not get the notice or the forms to recertify. We were not making a payment and as of today have extended it so we didn't miss a payment since we were deferred. We have renewed the deferment.. 

We have sent all the required forms to recertify and feel the 127 point drop in my score is unjust and needs to be corrected. I work very hard to keep my credit and to have something I am totally unaware of cause such a drop is unbelievable. I didn't get a XXXX score by accident. I pay my bills and would have taken care of this had I know they needed me to recertify. 

I have worked this out with XXXX XXXX and need you to contact them to make the adjustment back to my XXXX score. If they are unwilling to cooperate please contact me so I may get involved as well. 

Appreciate you help in correcting this grossly unjust hit to my score.

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