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 cant qualify for a mortgage because Equifax refuses to delete inaccurate child support information from my credit report. My credit report shows that my account has been late and/or collections 9 times ( 9 months ). I have mailed in a copy of my child support orders for them to see how much I was ordered  to pay. I also included all my pay check stubs to show that I have paid on time since child support started in 2013. I submitted all my check stubs with the year-to-date information highlighted so they could see that I had never paid late nor that I was in collections, along with a print out of the Child Support Payment History, to show that the payments had been received by XXXX XXXX XXXX. I also sent in an administrative hearing court order and an official letter from the XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX, stating that they had reported the account erroneously and that this account has never been past due and was never in collections and that they reported the account in error. I have been trying for over 12+ months to get Equifax to correct ( delete this account ) my report and they are refusing to do it, and they are continuing to report the erroneous/negative/delinquent information. I have sent all correspondences via certified mail to Equifax while disputing this account. I have tried numerous times to resolve this matter with Equifax and XXXX XXXX XXXX, to no avail.

State: PA
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: Was not notified of investigation status or results

Complaint:
I was alerted last year via email from Equifax that my personal information had been compromised in the breach and to fill out the form via email for the Equifax trustedid to keep an eye out on my credit report and any changes to my personal info. A few months later a XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX  was reported on my report for {$1900.00}. It said it was collecting for XXXX. I called XXXX to verify this information and was told that my name was not in their system. I then called XXXX XXXX XXXX and informed them that I spoke with XXXX and told them what XXXX had informed me. I asked XXXX XXXX XXXX to send me supporting documents regarding this account and was told by XXXX that i would have to send them a self addressed stamped envelope with a piece of paper that had my name, address and social security number on it and they would send me the documents. This didnt seem legit so I then disputed this collection online with all three credit bureaus. After 30 days of the dispute XXXX deleted the collection from my account yet Equifax and XXXX told me the account was verified. I asked XXXX/XXXX  for these supporting documents. After never receiving the documents that supported XXXX XXXX XXXX verification, I sent in letters to XXXX and XXXX. I waited the 30 days for a response and i never received one from neither XXXX, XXXX  or XXXX. So i sent in another round of letters after 45 days and again I never received anything from XXXX, XXXX  or XXXX. Then again I sent in another round of letters after 60 days and again never received anything from XXXX, XXXX or XXXX. I once again sent in letters after 90 days and still havent received not a single notification from XXXX, XXXX or XXXX regarding this collection account. It had been over 100 days so i contact Equifax on XX/XX/2018 and after being on the phone for over 45 minutes with multiple reps i was told by a rep named XXXX id XXXX the reason I didnt receive any responses from them is because they didnt have my correct email address so they couldnt send me anything and that my id, social security card and birth certificate was dark and they couldnt understand it. I dont know how a company like Equifax that has your email address that sends you emails regarding the breach and updated information pertaining to your credit report dont have your correct email address. I just received something from XXXX via email. Please help me with this matter.

Company: Windham Professionals, Inc.
State: CT
Product: Debt collection
Sub-product: I do not know
Issue: Communication tactics
Sub-issue: Used obscene, profane, or other abusive language

Complaint:
On XX/XX/2018 at XXXX EST I was contacted by a company that refused to declare their intent before attempting to collect information from me. 

There was no abusive or profane language, it was the only option I could select. 

When I was contacted by this company they told me the call is being recorded and declare their company name, but they refuse to 'mini Mirandize ' me and properly declare themselves as debt collectors or as my creditor. They then proceed to try and collect personal information, such as my date of birth, in order to verify my identity. 

I believe that this " deception through omission '' ( refusal to affirm or deny their intent to collect a debt ) BEFORE asking for personal information violates " 15 U.S.C. Section 1692e ( 10 ) & ( 11 ) ''

Complaint:
My first letters to the credit bureaus regarding this account were in XX/XX/ and I have sent out letters each month since. This account is fraudulent and has been in dispute since I first seen it around XXXX XXXX last year but according to the credit bureaus they have it listed as not in dispute and remains unverified in the last several months. How is this possible if I have sent repeated letters to each bureau disputing this as well as letter to the alleged creditor. These are all violations of my rights under Title 15USC1681 and I demand that CFPB investigate this. Each bureau had 30 days to verify the account and not only did they send me letters stating it was verified but yet on their own report it states that there has been no verification and it is not in dispute. I have copied the XXXX FTC and the Attorney General for Florida.
