Product: Credit card or prepaid card
Sub-product: General-purpose credit card or charge card
Issue: Closing your account
Sub-issue: Company closed your account

Complaint:
I had applied for a Discover Card and actually received the credit card in the mail. When I called to activate the card, the representative said it was still under verification. The rep. suggested there was an address issue pertaining to the spelling of my street name. I thought my conversation at that time resolved the issue. I never heard from Discover until today, as I received an email from Discover stating the account had been closed. I called today and spoke to a rep and then a supervisor and they indicated the account was closed and reported " closed by credit grantor. '' The account was never opened as I was unable to use the card. I don't feel Discover should be able to report this account as " closed '' when I was never allowed to open it even though I have the card in my possession. I feel the manner in which this card will be reported to the Credit Bureaus will reflect as derogatory on my file.

The fraudulent accounts appearing on my credit report are XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX

Equifax within minutes sent me an automated email saying your investigation is complete. Equifax did not even take the time to verify these fraudulent accounts .This is completely against the section 605B of the Fair Credit Reporting Act and Equifax should be held accountable. 

I tried to verify these accounts by contacting above creditors. All of them had different addresses and phone numbers on their files. They are clearly fraudulent and Equifax is not doing a single thing about it.

Complaint:
It has come to my attention. That my personal information and my identity have been compromised. I received a notice in the mail that I was involved in the Equifax data breach. I find it very alarming that your company continues to violate my rights, by reporting my personal information and following accounts incorrectly. 
I have the right to privacy.

15 U.S.C 1681 section 602 A. States, I have the right to privacy.

15 U.S.C. 1681 ( a ) ( 4 ) There is a need to insure that consumer reporting agencies exercise their grave responsibilities with fairness, impartiality, and respect for the consumers right to privacy.

15 U.S.C 1681b ( a ) ( 2 ) - nothing can be furnished on my consumer report without my written consent 15 U.S. Code 1611 - Criminal liability for willful and knowing violation Whoever willfully and knowingly ( 1 ) gives false or inaccurate information or fails to provide information which he is required to disclose under the provisions of this subchapter or any regulation issued thereunder, 15 U.S.C 1692 ( C ) Without the prior consent of the consumer given directly to the debt collector or the express permission of a court of competent jurisdiction, a debt collector may not communicate with a consumer in connection with the collection of any debt.

15 U.S.C. 1681-11681x The Act ( Title VI of the Consumer Credit Protection Act ) protects information collected by consumer reporting agencies such as credit bureaus, medical information companies, and tenant screening services.

Companies that provide information to consumer reporting agencies also have specific legal obligations, including the duty to investigate disputed information. In addition, users of the information for credit, insurance, or employment purposes must notify the consumer when an adverse action is taken on the basis of such reports.

Therefore I want the following accounts to be updated to the correct amount, date, status, open and closed date, last date of activity, and time.

If you can not complete this request, please delete the accounts immediately. I have provided an exhibit of evidence showing the inaccuracies of my reports.

Please investigate if every piece of information is correct. If not, please remove it from my credit report.

Complaint:
15USC 1681a ( d ) ( 2 ) ( A ) ( i ) clearly states that transactions between the consumer and the Person/Corporation making the report is NOT included on the consumer reports. Yet Equifax is reporting this information. The reporting of excluded information pursuant to 15 USC 1681 a ( d ) ( 2 ) ( A ) ( i ) on a consumer report is a clear violation of Metro2 compliance. Provide me with the Metro2 compliance disclosure on reporting transactions to a consumer reporting agency. I need the transactions to a consumer reporting agency. I need the transactions reporting as late, collection/ charge-off status and any other derogatory information deleted from my consumer reports effective immediately. Before you think to reply that this account has been " validated '' let 's be clear that I am not asking you to validate or verify anything. So please don't respond by telling me that cause that would be a waste of my time. Some of the negative accounts have been placed in Collection/charge-offs, late payments/ other derogatory information in my consumer reports are in violation of 26 USC ss 6050P Returns relating to the Cancelation of indebtedness by certain entities. If this derogatory account information is not deleted from my consumer reports within 30 days I will be forced to officially file IRS form 3949A : Information Referral and IRS form 211 : Application for award for original information overview with the IRS against ALL entities involved
