State: CA
Product: Credit reporting, credit repair services, or other personal consumer reports
Sub-product: Credit reporting
Issue: Incorrect information on your report
Sub-issue: Information belongs to someone else

Complaint:
In XX/XX/XXXX, I received a call from a man identifying himself as an internal auditor at XXXX XXXX in Texas. He said an account had been opened at xxxxx address in XXXX, TX with my name and my phone number, no other information. He said this was suspicious ( I believe he recognized my CA area code ). I told him that I don't have a house at that address, and I have not been in Texas for many years. I did not offer him my current address or any additional information about myself. I thanked him for the call and he hung up. 

About XX/XX/XXXX a woman called identifying herself as a rep for Texas XXXX XXXX ( a name or slogan that XXXX uses in ads on the internet. ) She said I had some fee money in an account and she wanted to give me what I was owed. I asked her what account and she gave me the an address in XXXX, TX that sounded like the same one that the auditor had called about. I refused to give her my mailing address and told her I was not the account holder. 

On XX/XX/XXXX I ran a credit report on Equifax. It shows a claim of a past due account at a XXXX, TX address, opened in XX/XX/XXXX. The amount is {$430.00}. The XXXX address is now listed as one of my former residences. 
On XX/XX/XXXX I called XXXX 's Fraud Alert call center and spoke with XXXX. He confirmed that XXXX had the same item reported on my credit report with XXXX. He advised filing a complaint with the FTC. 

My First Complaint is that XXXX XXXX forwarded a bad debt to XXXX that was not clearly attributable to me. My name is common, but my phone number is unique. XXXX did not do an adequate job of verifying the identity of its customer. 
My Second Complaint is that clearly, XXXX 's customer was posing as me to get free electricity, which is fraud. 
My Third Complaint is that XXXX and Equifax ( and presumably XXXX also ) accepted XXXX 's claim of a bad debt against me without doing an adequate review of XXXX 's claim.

Complaint:
XXXX  My issue with XXXX  showing on my credit file that I owe money in which I have a letter saying there is no money owed. XXXX tells me that I owe {$770.00}.

Issue: Problem with fraud alerts or security freezes

Complaint:
Following the XXXX hack, TransUnion has concealed the option to freeze my account and placed it at the bottom of the web page. In addition, I find it unacceptable that I have to PAY to freeze my credit when I did n't consent to my information being stored by XXXX, XXXX, or TransUnion in the first place. Congress should make credit freezes and unfreezes free federally. Credit reporting agencies already make money off of my information and I should not be required to pay them additional money to protect my information, especially when they are doing a POOR job in the first place. Thank you for taking time to read my complaint.

Complaint:
I'VE HAD A CHANCE TO LOOK OVER MY CREDIT REPORT AND FOUND A FEW DEROGATORY ACCOUNTS AND ENTRIES IDENTIFIED AS INQUIRIES THAT HAVE BEEN PLACED ON MY CREDIT FILE. THE DEROGATORY ACCOUNTS AND INQUIRIES HAS CAUSED A TREMENDOUS DROP IN MY CREDIT SCORES. IT IS NOT FAIR TO ME BECAUSE I HONESTLY DO NOT HAVE ANY KNOWLEDGE OF THE ACCOUNTS AND INQUIRIES. IT HAS BECOME VERY HARD FOR ME TO ACQUIRE NEW CREDIT WITH MY CREDIT BEING IN SUCH A HORRIBLE STATE. I SHOULD NOT HAVE TO SUFFER THE CONSEQUENCES. I AM ASKING THAT THE DEROGATORY ACCOUNTS AND INQUIRIES BE RE-INVESTIGATED SO THAT THEY CAN BE REMOVED OFF OF MY CREDIT FILE AS SOON AS POSSIBLE. I AM CERTAIN THAT THE DISPUTED ITEMS DO NOT BELONG TO ME AND WAS NOT AUTHORIZED BY ME.

Trying to do a credit freeze on all the credit reporting agencies due to the Equifax fiasco. Am being told there is a {$5.00} charge to freeze/unfreeze an account in Arizona at all three agencies. This is outrageous. Have already contacted the Arizona Governor, the  Attorney General, and all my legislators about having this regulation for fees rescinded. Three legislators have called me back and I am being told they will not be able to introduce any bills till after the new state session starts in XXXX. 

Citizens should not have to pay any fees for this freeze service. The credit agencies make enough money already and do n't need to subject us to more payments while we try to mitigate this disaster.
