Complaint:
I recently applied for renting an apartment and found out there are collection accounts showing under my rental history that does not belong to me. I have only seen one of them appear in my credit report and has been successfully disputed with Experian in XXXX. It was removed from my report in XXXX. There are no other collection accounts on my credit report from Experian. 

However, when I went through the tenant screening process. The screening company XXXX used data from RentBureau ( which also belong to Experian ) showing I have two collection accounts in my rental history. It turned out that the two collection accounts all belong to someone who has a similar name to me and lived with similar properties to me. The person 's name and address are combined with my profile on Experian. 

I called Experian for disputing the wrong name and address in XXXX. I received an email showing it has been successfully updated. I re-applied to renting an apartment on XX/XX/XXXX and those records are still showing under my report. 

The collection accounts are under XXXX XXXX XXXX and after I checked those accounts, there are only the other person 's name provided and do not have either SSN or date of birth belonging to me. 

I believe RentBureau and Experian should be responsible for combining another person 's name and address into my credit report. This has caused me so much trouble for me trying to rent an apartment in order to relocate to a new place.

Sub-issue: Collected or attempted to collect exempt funds

Complaint:
This Collection agency represented by the three lawyers have violated the consumers protection rights. XXXX XXXX, XXXX XXXX XXXX, XXXX They have GANISHED MY FULL WAGES from MY account. This is a violation. Please address this matter as a true representative of the United State of America. 

The assumption held by many is that, once a debtor is found, the creditor can seize or freeze any of the debtors assets in order to cover the cost of the debt. That is a false assumption. The Fair Debt Collection Practices Act ( FDCPA ) is a national regulation that makes certain assets exempt from the credit collections process and protects the consumers from harassment by creditors and debt collectors. 
Earned income The amount of earned income that is exempt from collection depends on a number of factors, including the minimum wage, the debtors take home pay, whether or not they receive SSI or PA and the amount of your disposable income. The simplest translation of this exemption is that there is never a time that all income can be garnished to pay off past due accounts. In fact, federal law will allow for wage garnishment only up to 25 % of the net income. Like all other garnishments, this requires there to be a judgment against the debtor before taking effect. 

My husband ( XXXX years old ) with increased health problems XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX ) does ride-share so we can pay our mortgage payment timely. 
Myself, due to severe health condition ( XXXX XXXX XXXX ) has not able to work for the past few years. 
XX/XX/XXXX/ XX/XX/XXXX, when the real estate market crashed both my husband and I had lost our jobs.

We used our reserves to keep up with the increasing mortgage payments and
credit card payments.

But shortly after, we were bankrupt and could not make our payments on our mortgage or credit cards. 
In XX/XX/XXXX, our income had improved and we were able to get an affordable modification. 
Since then, we are able to make our mortgage payments but not able to pay any other debts.
