Consumer complaint received 2019-06-13
Company: EQUIFAX, INC.
State: TN
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: Difficulty submitting a dispute or getting information about a dispute over the phone

Complaint:
On XX/XX/XXXX I filed a dispute with Equifax concerning an account that popped up on my credit report for XXXX XXXX. It stated that it was a closed account, was OK in XXXX, XXXX then 180 days past-due. They showed the last payment in XX/XX/XXXX. The note said it was a closed mortgage account that the collateral was released on with a balance owing. I filed the dispute stating that this was not my account. I sold my house several years ago and had never heard of this company and have never paid them anything. 

On XX/XX/XXXX, I received an email that Equifax had completed the investigation on XX/XX/XXXX. I tried several times to access their website but it does not work. I called their XXXX and spoke with a man who spoke very poor English. He started giving me the results from a dispute that I had filed years ago, not the current dispute, even though I had given him their confirmation number. He then told me that he would take my dispute information over the phone. I gave him the information listed above and he gave me a new confirmation number XXXX. 

Today, XX/XX/XXXX, I received an email from Equifax that the investigation was complete. I again tried the website to no avail. I called the XXXX number again, gave another man who spoke even worse English my information and my confirmation number. He asked several questions to verify my identity, one of which was where was my mortgage and how much was the payment. I told him that I do not have one. This is the account that I am disputing but my former mortgage was through XXXX. He told me that he couldn't verify my identity and that he couldn't help me. I asked him where he was and he told me that their offices were in XXXX. I asked again if that is where he was speaking to me from and he said no, he is in the XXXX. That is quite un-nerving. I gave my information to someone in the XXXX, something I would never have done. 

I looked at my credit report on XXXX XXXX following the call and the account I had questioned had been moved from closed to open and 180 days past due. All my other accounts show a 100 % payment history because I make sure to pay them all on time. This has given me a XXXX point hit on my credit score for something that I have never heard of, did not open an account in XX/XX/XXXX or any other time and is not an open account that I have anywhere. 

Not only was an investigation not done that I can tell, I can not even access the information through the available channels as the website does not work and the calls go directly to the XXXX where the language barrier is formidable.

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:
I am complaining about Experian and XXXX credit reporting agencies. I have submitted numerous disputes regarding inaccurate information on my credit file to both companies with no resolution. I sent all my disputes through CERTIFIED MAIL WITH RETURN RECEIPT, and have all documentation proof ready upon request for this investigation. I am tired of both of these companies slandering my credit file and defaming my character. The erroneous information that they are reporting is drastically affecting me from applying for credit and from qualifying for a mortgage. Everytime I dispute inaccurate information I get an automatic response stating the accounts are VERIFIED. As far as Experian my most recent dispute was sent ceritifed mail on XX/XX/19, the company then sent a response on XX/XX/19 stating they will not re-investigate the same disputes because it was already " verified '' previously. The following accounts XXXX # XXXX, XXXX  XXXX XXXX, XXXX XXXX # XXXX, XXXX XXXX XXXX # XXXX, XXXX XXXX XXXX # XXXX and XXXX XXXX and XXXX  # XXXX all need to DELETED and REMOVED immediately from my Experian credit file. Also the bankruptcy on file is inaccurate and needs to be removed. As for XXXX, XXXX XXXX XXXX, XXXX XXXX # XXXX and a bankruptcy all are inaccurate and UNVERIFIED and need to be REMOVED immediately from my credit file. I have also submitted a complaint to the State of MI Attorney General 's office regarding both companies and seek to have this problem mediated in a quick, professional manner. Otherwise, I will proceed with filing a lawsuit against both companies for their willful violations and I will seek compensation for provable and punitive damages I'm entitled to under the law!

Issue: Fraud or scam

Complaint:
XX/XX/2018 I was on XXXX searching for event tickets and found an add that advertised tickets for the amount of {$120.00}. After this point seller organized the money exchange would be via XXXX ( It felt safe because my bank Wells Fargo was linked so naturally assumed there would be protection ). The seller proceeded to send XXXX account email and instructed me to send {$120.00}. After I sent funds a brief phone call was made to seller where I was told that the tickets were being sent from XXXX and that it would take a few minutes and quickly hung up. Several phone calls attempts and several more after the seller denied all calls made. This was a devastating experience using XXXX. 

Ps I reached out to Wells Fargo and was told nothing could be done and to just call the cops. Wells Fargo doesnt not refund any XXXX transactions if its comfirmed fraud only if the XXXX sender is hacked.

Sub-issue: Account status incorrect

Complaint:
Filed a complaint in regards to a debt that was incorrectly reported. XXXX XXXX did not make any meditative measures to remove the two blemishes that followed a move and a new address they had on file. This was a debt that PayPal was already in trouble for by the CFPB ( https : XXXX ). Just because XXXX XXXX " decided '' to close my account- it did not make the debt less frivolous and riddled with illegality. I had a clear pattern of not missing a payment ( other than the 2 months during a move ). Closing an account that I had actively been making payments on does not constitute a good faith business practice and is rather tangential to defamation. Keep in mind I have taken out several loans with high interest and been denied for a student loan. My credit score was at the mid 700s until I caught on to this blemish.

Sub-issue: Trouble with how payments are being handled

Complaint:
For years my student loan payments were on automatic draft from my bank account. Suddenly they were n't able to draft the money eventhough none of my information changed. I contacted them to see if maybe a digit was off, I aslo went in to my bank where I was informed there had been no attempts to draft any funds from my account. After going through this for several months and late fees and NSF fees that were never returned I changed the method of payment. Still my phone continued to ring month after month and my co-borrower was being contacted eventhough the payments had been made up-to-date. To make matters worse they also charge to make a payment over the phone which after much complaining from me was waived.     Company : Navient/ XXXX   XXXX

Complaint:
This bill should not have been given to me. 
This was fraudulent activity that was done, and billed to the incorrect person. 
When dealing with this before, it was removed several months ago ( {$640.00} ). 
Now, it is back on my credit report and this is stopping me from closing on a home. 
This bill does not belong to me. I am very very upset. This is not fair for someone who works hard, pays taxes, and pays bills all of the time.

Complaint:
XXXX XXXX is reporting a negative account/several accounts which do not belong to me. I have been disputing this for a year. I have sent the creditor debt validation letters which no response has been received. I have been disputing the error with Equifax and apparently, all they are receiving back from XXXX XXXX are account summaries. There is no contract, no copy of my driver 's license, nothing that relates or belongs to me and according to the FCRA an account summary/bill is not sufficient of validating a debt and Equifax is in complete violation of the law by reporting erroneous information. To add insult to injury I spoke with an Equifax Supervisor today By the Name of XXXX, ID # XXXX, out of the Nevada office at XXXX XXXX  and he was very rude to me, he even put me on hold in the middle of me speaking to him without asking me if I mind holding and told me that my complaint was not worthy of going to the executive affairs team, after I requested to speak with someone one over his department because he kept saying All I can do is, which was not helping me. The dispute in question is confirmation number XXXX
