State: MI
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:
Im submitting this complaint against XXXX Equifax, and XXXX  due to their total disregard for my consumer rights under the FCRA/FCBA/FDCPA. For several months now, I've been disputing inaccurate and unverifiable information showing up on my credit report by this company. I have requested intimate information about the alleged accounts, including a copy of an agreement with my signature on it, but I have yet to receive anything. These companies continue to electronically verify these " ghost '' accounts without providing any legally binding evidence, such as a signed contract and complete accounting of the record, as required by law. They're clearly lying and thus the reason Im asking for proof. However, these companies refuse to provide it, which is not right and is not compliant with the FCRA/FDCPA. Im absolutely fed up. My life has been in complete ruin as a result of this. It's causing enormous mental and financial distress, preventing me from getting approved from credit that I am rightfully entitled to, and not to mention the ample amount of time that I must take out to try and resolve this matter myself. This has brought a great deal of harm to my family as a whole as well. Ive just had enough! Please help! I hope to hear from you soon.

Issue: Incorrect information on your report
Sub-issue: Personal information incorrect

Complaint:
Called Equifax on XX/XX/2021 XXXX to report the employer information is still incorrect on my report, I tried to report it online but the online system wouldn't allow me to. I called in spoke to a representative that didn't speak clear English, he didn't understand my answers and I barely could understand him. He asked me security questions to identify myself I answered all the questions correctly, even though I believe he put my information in the system incorrectly because he doesn't understand very well. He came back on the line and told he couldn't verify me and to send in my social security card and ID. I told him no, I will not send in my personal information especially since I answered his questions correctly to identify me. I told him I want a supervisor that understands English and that could fix my issue. He went on and on and became rude and argumentative about me wanting a supervisor. I have been on the call for over 1 hour and 20 minutes and still no supervisor to speak to me and still my personal information on my report is incorrect. This the 2nd phone call placed to Equifax within the past 3 months to no avail. I need help and I need help now with having my employer information corrected in the system and I don't want to send in my personal information for people that work in a different country to have my information.

Complaint:
I called Bank Of America to report my claim of Fraud that happened through XXXX. I called on XX/XX/2023 moments after it happened. I was tricked by someone who I thought was a Bank Of America employee to send over money to him due to fraudulent actions reported on my account. I received a call from the Bank Of America customer support phone number. I believed this even more because I do have proof of previous claims filed, that I actually did receive my money back from, which I was happy about at the time. I was told on the XXXX that I would be able to receive provisional credits for the transaction that happened. I am young and new to banking on my own so I was not aware of the dangers of fraud out there. The total amount that I wanted to dispute was {$3300.00}. This is money that I have been saving so losing this amount in a moment is detrimental for me as that was all that was in my account.
