Consumer complaint received 2022-11-18
Company: EQUIFAX, INC.
State: OH
Product: Credit reporting, credit repair services, or other personal consumer reports
Sub-product: Credit reporting
Issue: Incorrect information on your report
Sub-issue: Account information incorrect

Complaint:
Credit reporting agencies aid and abet many favorite financial institutions in the the collection of extensions of credit by extortionate means. If the credit reporting agencies would've conducted a reasonable investigation, they would've found that my fiduciary breached their duty by furnishing false credit information.

15 usc 1666b - If there's no proof of indebtedness, there is no late payment. financial institution knows that furnishing inaccurate to the CRAs violate federal law. But do it anyway.

why would credit reporting agencies be reporting negative information on an EXTENSION OF CREDIT they are NOT REQUIRED BY LAW to furnish? Disclosing false credit information that jeopardizes your consumer credit reputation as a means of coercing repayment on an extension of credit constitutes racketeering activity.

That negative information provision is your financial institution 's agreement is their POLICY. Their policy shouldn't violate your federally protected rights. There's no debt, only extortionate extensions of credit.

Under the FCRA I have a right to privacy and a fair and equitable credit report. why are you CRAs allowing debt collectors to furnish this false credit information knowing it will harm my relationship with other banks and cause damages?

Under the FDCPA, furnishing an alleged debt to coerce payment is a violation of 15 USC 1692d ( 4 ) which the FTC defines as debt parking. There is no debt, only an attempt to collect on an extortionate extension of credit using unlawful extortionate means.

Please provide me with a chain of title, your license to collect in my state, and a bill of assignment just to even see if they have the right to collect on this " ALLEGED '' debt.

You, the Debt collector shouldn't have my information in the first place. Let alone, use it to bring harm to me and my financial reputation. That's aggravated identity theft.

You, the debt collector, financial institution, and the credit reporting agencies are participating in extortionate behavior to collect on a debt that doesnt exist.

If my fiduciary didn't breach their fiduciary duty I wouldn't be in court to start with. The fact they are pursuing repossession and suing do to " nonpayment '' shows an unauthorized use of a credit card ( social ). If they received consideration ( aka my social ) and pursuing damages and repossessed the car, where is my consideration? How can a " contract '' be legally binding without the essential element of consideration?
