I recently sent in a dispute letter for collection information on my Equifax credit report. Equifax sent a letter back asking me to send in additional information to prove my identity. I sent in that information and they sent me another letter stating they had reviewed the current address. The results are : - blank. Equifax has not updated the correct information on my credit file. This investigation and reinvestigation have taken well over three months. The listed collections have caused my credit score to go down and are causing me to be denied when I am applying for new credit. I would like for this information to be updated.

Complaint:
XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX, XXXX, Florida, XXXX XX/XX/2022 To Whom It May Concern : Thank you for taking the time to read this letter. Im writing because I noticed that my most recent credit report contains XXXX late payments reported on XX/XX/2022, XX/XX/2022, XX/XX/2022, XX/XX/2022, and XX/XX/2022 for my XXXX account. 

I want you to know that I understand my financial obligations, and if it werent for me being in a car accident in XX/XX/2022 that totaled the car, Id have an excellent repayment record. I made a mistake in falling behind, but since then, I have paid the balance off on the account. Since then, Ive had a spotless record of on-time payments and before XX/XX/2022 I had a perfect repayment record. 

Im planning to apply for an auto loan and its come to my attention that the missed payment on my record could hurt my ability to qualify. I truly believe that it doesnt reflect my creditworthiness and commitment to repaying my debts. I am a XXXX XXXXXXXX XXXX XXXX XXXXXXXX, and I live in a city without adequate public transportation. I need a car to take my children to school and to their doctor appointments. It would help me immensely if you could give me a second chance and make a goodwill adjustment to remove the XXXX late payments reported on XX/XX/2022, XX/XX/2022, XX/XX/2022, XX/XX/2022, and XX/XX/2022. 

Thank you for your consideration, and I hope youll approve my request. 

Best, XXXX XXXX

Complaint:
someone got a hold of my CC. There was about 20+ charges for the XXXX XXXX and email confirmations of the orders were immediately sent to me and I called and let them know that, they were fraudulent charges ( gave them dates and times ). I was told that after investigating I had ordered a medium sized XXXX XXXX that I would be responsible for. Mind you this was orders during the time someone got into my account. Now @ barclaysbankus is sending me a bill and interest for the charge. The balance on my account was {$0.00}. Im not paying for a too small jacket that I didnt order nor the interest. And also, your fraud department is rude! Play the recording on that! 
Long story short, they are holding me responsible for fraudulent charges and interest after I reported the date and time of the charges and they said I would not be responsible for it.

Complaint:
Kohls incorrectly opened a credit account without my authorization. They have no signature from me authorizing them to open an account in my name. I only authorized them to approve me for an account which I had no intention of opening. To my knowledge I had paid for the merchandise with my debit card, and they were going to mail me a card to activate at my discretion ( which I had no intention of doing ). 

Without my knowledge, they applied a small balance of under {$250.00} to the account that they opened without my authorization and sent statements to the wrong mailing address for months I had no idea this account was open and then I was receiving statements. 

Only when I attempted to secure financing for a purchase. Did I realize that Kohls had reported me to the credit bureau and destroyed my credit rating from a XXXX down to a XXXX. After imploring them repeatedly to close the account and reminding them that they had no authorization written or otherwise from me, authorizing them to open an account in my name did they agree to take payment from me for the merchandise only and close the account in question. 

However, one month later, the derogatory Report from them still remains on my credit report, preventing me from securing adequate financing for current and future purchases ( for example, a preapproval for an auto loan with a 6 % APR has now risen to 11 % APR ). 

Kohls continues to drag its feet And not correct his mistake of opening of opening an account in a very deceptive manner. Yet Im the one paying the consequences for their deception. 

I need this removed from my credit report immediately and my solid credit Rating restored to a XXXX.
