Company: BARCLAYS BANK DELAWARE
State: IL
Product: Debt collection
Sub-product: I do not know
Issue: Cont'd attempts collect debt not owed
Sub-issue: Debt resulted from identity theft

Complaint:
I sent a letter to BARCLAYS BANK DELAWARE letting them know I had been a victim of identity theft years before the accounts had even showed on my credit report and I provided my supporting documents and police reports made about the identity theft and BARCLAYS BANK DELAWARE refuses to delete the fraudulent accounts from my credit report stating in a letter its verified. BARCLAYS BANK DELAWARE provided no physical evidence to why they wo n't remove it, according to the FDCPA and FCRA they have violated the law and I am well within my legal parameters to file a civil suit along with defamation of character against them. If they do not delete these accounts that are not mine that resulted from identity theft I will exercise my legal rights and file a civil suit.

Company: EQUIFAX, INC.
State: ME
Product: Credit reporting
Issue: Incorrect information on credit report
Sub-issue: Information is not mine

Complaint:
Pursuant to FCRA I am writing to your company today to advise you of ID Theft resulting in fraudulent accounts/inquiries on my credit, you are required to investigate any negative and/or derogatory listing which I submit a dispute on. When I have notified you of the following information the proper action has not been taken. A proper investigation has yet to take place, if this complaint is closed without proper action being taken by your company. I will seek legal means to take action against your company through the judicial process. I have sent all paperwork necessary for a dispute with Equifax , including an affidavit, police report, letter from the DA, and a cover letter on which accounts I was a victim of identity theft. I mailed them US priority mail, I have yet to get a response back. The police report and the letter from the DA verified that I have had numerous accounts that had been opened fraudulently while serving in the US Military. There have also been countless inquiries considering the accounts/inquires were opened and or requested without my knowledge or consent FCRA requires them to be removed within 30 days. If this is not done it is punishable { {$2500.00} } per offense. I will seek the maximum allowed by law if the following accounts/inquires are not removed within 30 days for receipt of this complaint. First I want to address the is the collection account XXXX from XXXX XXXX. Second I would like to address XXXX from XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX This account was mine, however, I was never late! And, I paid it off. Please refer to my XXXX credit reports that I have attached for verification. Third account # XXXX from XXXX FI. This was not me and is fraudulent. Fourth account # XXXX with XXXX XXXX. This was not me as well. Fifth, account # XXXX that was originally with XXXX and now is with XXXX. Again, this is not me and I 've sent documentation from local law enforcement proving all of these were identity theft. Sixth is account # XXXX that was originally with XXXX XXXX XXXX and now is with XXXX XXXX XXXX Seventh is account # XXXX that was originally with XXXX and is now with XXXX XXXX XXXX I have never even been to this place. Eighth is account # XXXX that was orignally with XXXX and is now with XXXX XXXX XXXX Again, I have never been to this place. Ninth is account number XXXX with XXXX XXXX. tenth is account # XXXX with XXXX XXXX XXXX with a zero balance. I have sent notice to the companies directly and they have been ignored so under FCRA these all need to be removed and/or fixed without further delay. As a credit reporting agency when a company fails to provide PROOF which they are not able to do ( The addresses and phone numbers on these accounts do not match my own or the companies simply will not provide the information ) the accounts must be removed BY THE CREDIT BUREAU under FCRA.

Company: Seterus, Inc.
State: FL
Product: Mortgage
Sub-product: Conventional fixed mortgage
Issue: Loan servicing, payments, escrow account

Complaint:
I paid off my mortgage ( serviced by Seterus ) in XXXX XXXX and called Seterus on XXXX/XXXX/XXXX asking when I would receive my XXXX form so that I could file my tax return. I was told that it showed that it was mailed around XXXX/XXXX/XXXX and that I should wait a week before I call again, in case I receive it. I did not receive it, so I called back on XXXX/XXXX/XXXX. They stated that it was sent, but they ca n't request a re-mailing/re-sending from their other unit until XXXX/XXXX/XXXX ( their procedures, they said ). They also noted that the mailing address was a XXXX , and wanted to confirm that with me. I said no, the mailing address is and has been the same address as the mortgaged property ( the house I 've been living in for 13 years ). They looked in their records and could not state why my address was changed in their system, but that they would correct it immediately. I told them that I would like to do my taxes, and ca n't without this info. They provided me with the info over the phone, but I informed them that the interest amount ca n't be right because my last statement from them ( XXXX XXXX ) showed an even greater amount. The Customer Service person calculated the numbers again and agreed. They said they would have my XXXX recalculated and send me another one to the correct address. I called back on XXXX/XXXX/XXXX and asked where my XXXX statement was. They said that they mailed it, but it appears it went to a XXXX address again, and said that the system must not have updated on XXXX/XXXX/XXXX when they corrected it ( their internal notes note that the address was corrected on that date ). The verbally told me the corrected XXXX amount, but I also asked that I need something " hard '', and e-mail or a fax of the XXXX so that I can be confident in filing my taxes. They said they ca n't do that. I asked the Customer Service person to please speak with her supervisior to make sure there is n't anything they could do. She said that her supervisor told her that their procedures do not allow me receiving the XXXX via fax or e-mail, and that because I no longer have loan servicing with them, I ca n't access my account on-line. I reiterated my circumstances and asked if they could at least reinstate my on-line account access. The answer was no. I asked them if they would want me to report this to the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau. The customer service person said her supervisor said 'sorry, but that is our procedures. '

Company: Experian Information Solutions Inc.
State: FL
Product: Credit reporting
Issue: Credit reporting company's investigation
Sub-issue: Problem with statement of dispute

Complaint:
After numerous filings they continue to reage the information using the latest date even though the transactions occurred in 2009 or much earlier. This gives the wrong impression to someone reviewing the credit report. These are disputed because they have been incorrect for sometime even after spending over a year to correct the reports. Now I realize you have no power as an agency to do much and they can totally ignore you but in my opinion this is deceptive. IF the information was finalized years ago it should reflect the correct date NOT a current date. This is across the board with all reporting agencies. Also Experian had the wrong personal information on my wife 's report. How are we to expect any correct reporting when we have to deal with this.

Complaint:
I continue to receive offers under my previous name, XXXX XXXX, over XXXX months after opting out of marketing offers. My original opt-out date was XXXX 2014. It has been well XXXX and I continue to receive these unsolicited, multiple, unwanted offers ( see most recent offer attached ). The offers contain the opt-out notice at the bottom. I see on the back of the notice that Equifax is named. I do n't know of any other way to opt out than what I have already done, by phone, permanently by mail, etc., yet they continue to come in years later. This is unacceptable and puts my personal information in jeopardy of identity theft. I have requested multiple times to stop receiving these offers. What more do I have to do??

Sub-issue: Information is not mine

Complaint:
I am a victim of identity theft and Equifax refuses to assist me in making sure my credit profile is accurate. I have several records as proof. 

I am trying to repair the damage done to my credit due to identity theft. I have been disputing information for several years and this credit bureau has been extremely uncooperative and frustrating for the past XXXX years. I am unable to log onto my account because the security questions asked are inaccurate ( due to ID theft ). When I call Equifax, I am unable to speak with a live person for assistance. I was able to speak with an Equifax agent via chat who was unwilling to assist me ( I added attachment log ). When I send disputes via certified mail along with a copy of my drivers license and current address, I either receive no response or I receive a response which states they are unable to process my request. 
The Fair Credit Reporting Act Section 607 Compliance procedures [ 15 U.S.C. 1681e ] section B states ; Whenever a consumer reporting agency prepares a consumer report it shall follow reasonable procedures to assure maximum possible accuracy of the information concerning the individual about whom the report relates. 

I would like a copy of my Equifax credit report. I would like to speak with a LIVE person so I can dispute and freeze/unfreeze my credit. I would also like an account missing from my credit report added to my credit profile. The FCRA states in back and white that I should have all of these abilities. I need my credit report to be accurate in order to live a productive life. I am unable to open a loan to buy a home or vehicle. I am unable to open a credit card or establish credit. This has become mortifying and I if no action is taken I will have to seek out an attorney. Please help.

My annual free credit report from Equifax is unavailable online. 
Last year I was required to print and fill out a paper form and mail it, along with other documents containing my SSN and complete identification information, in order to receive my report.
