The Social Security number they had on file matched mine. I am not that person nor have I ever used the name XXXX XXXX as an alias or any other name for that mater. Furthermore I have never lived in XXXX nor have I ever been to the state. My efforts through XXXX XXXX XXXX, XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX the reporting agency XXXX XXXX, where the error had been discovered, to try and correct this error were not satisfactory. I then contacted my US Congressional Rep, XXXX XXXX, and her staff helped me by filing a complaint on my behalf with CFPB. That complaint number was XXXX. After CFPB 's investigation a satisfactory resolution was achieved with XXXX XXXX deleting the derogatory information of the {$390.00} collection from my credit report in XXXX of this year XXXX.

The other XXXX agencies also have the name XXXX XXXX with my Soc Sec number listed under Source of Information. Another error. I was under the impression that once XXXX XXXX had deleted the incorrect information from my credit report and XXXX XXXX XXXX had corrected their error that XXXX and Experian would update their records and delete the information also. But, after calls to CFPB and XXXX XXXX, I was informed that the Credit Reporting Agencies do not communicate this information with each other and each agency has it 's own methods of reporting information on consumers. I would like to have Experian and XXXX delete the collections information and remove the name of XXXX XXXX from my credit reports.

Complaint:
Chrysler Capital furnished a fraudulent response to my earlier complaint, and they continue their grossly negligent handling of my account. 
. 
1. They have failed to accurately and fully acknowledge the full extent of the overpayments I am due in a refund. Consistent with the utter stupidity and incompetence of this outfit, they fail to recognize I am due ( a ) refunds of over-assessed tax payments, and ( b ) overpayment of one monthly lease payment, IN ADDITION TO ( c ) the {$590.00} security deposit they refer to in their response letter. 

2 ) They have admitted that after more than 2 solid months, they STILL have failed to do any final accounting of my account. They only NOW promise that they WILL do so on XXXX XXXX, and this is obviously only because I filed a complaint with the Feds. Had I not filed a complaint, no accounting or statement would have been forthcoming.

State: MD

Issue: Credit reporting company's investigation
Sub-issue: Inadequate help over the phone

Complaint:
I contacted Equifax by phone on XXXX/XXXX/XXXX to request removal of a XXXX state tax lien filed in XXXX. At the time the lien was filed, I was living XXXX and was not in receipt of any notices of an impending tax lien from the XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX. Upon my return to living XXXX XX/XX/XXXX I immediately contacted the XXXX and set up a payment plan which I completed in early XXXX ; the XXXX subsequently released the lien in XXXX XXXX. However, Equifax informed me on the phone call that they would not remove the record in their databases until 10 years after the filing, or seven years after the lien was released. When I inquired the reason, the agent informed me that it was because of state and Federal law that they were required to maintain the record. Unlike the XXXX Fresh Start program, and states such as XXXX where I currently reside, the state of XXXX has no mechanism for withdrawal of tax liens. ( XXXX legislation introduced several years ago to mirror the XXXX withdrawal legislation, SB XXXX, was not passed. ) I find this quite unfair, as it can burden many taxpayers like myself who have made the effort to satisfy their tax debts completely. As the XXXX noted upon initiating the Fresh Start program, " the goal is to help individuals and small businesses meet their tax obligations, without adding unnecessary burden to taxpayers. '' XXXX said, " These steps are good for people facing tough times, and they reflect a responsible approach for the tax system. '' Last month, encouraged by the Fresh Start program, I paid off an XXXX debt of {$33000.00}, in full. What can be done to get XXXX and the credit reporting agencies, to see things through the same lens? And, more to the point, why is it that the credit reporting agencies are claiming to be governed by different state and Federal rules.

Sub-issue: No notice of investigation status/result

Complaint:
This is really getting to be a problem. The dates are listed very clear and the police report was given along with other corroborating evidence to this bureau via fax. There are not even taking the time to investigate only reporting inaccuracies. I have been taking several hours of my day to call these banks ect. only to hear that they have not gotten some type of questionnaire that comes from XXXX usually. Even, there how can an account be verified by a questionnaire. This was verbatim from XXXX XXXX and XXXX legal team. Thus far upon me calling directly to these creditors I get results even before Equifax alleged attempt to reach out and verify its accuracies. Someone is lying and it has to be EQUIFAX because the proof is in black and white. I am attaching XXXX ( XXXX ) letters with regard to these inquiries while I await the others. So far XXXX XXXX and XXXX apologize and would like to delete but they are still waiting for Equifax to send them something and so is XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX. They have NOTHING except my complaint. Now attached are XXXX letters that were sent via email and XXXX Mail stating that inquiries will be removed and they are dated before the XXXX XXXX credit file sent from Equifax saying they verified the information. These people should really stop hurting a persons chance to obtain credibility when they are not even viable themselves. It 's almost like they never even bothered. They just state that I need to contact the creditor directly and do their job, which I am forced to do anyway to receive any type of vindication. I see why they are number XXXX in the news for bad reporting yet they claim they will do their best to help. When this only proves they are doing NOTHING. Says so the creditors as well, because not all people are trained to know the answers so they rely on the help of the bureau to assist the consumer. I am a witness to this first hand now. Please do something about this as I do not have the time and money to keep wasting fighting these people to do what is right. I am a new mother just getting back into the work field and just ca n't give all my time to Equifax for them to get paid for bad reporting. It should not be on the consumer to do their job. Thank you.

In XXXX I get a collection agency calling me. So I called AES XX/XX/XXXX, spoke with XXXX # XXXX. He told me that he could not get a deferment because the loan was in default as of XXXX XXXX or XXXX. I asked him how that could be because sent in the payment in XXXX to bring the loan current. He said it was in default because XXXX and XXXX payments were not made. I asked him why I was only billed for XXXX. He stated that they only bill for current month. So they took my payment and defaulted the loan anyways. The loan was sold to XXXX XXXX in XXXX ( XXXX ).

Complaint:
I have tried multiple times to have XXXX investigate this account as the information they are reporting is not accurate. I was denied a mortgage loan last week specifically because of XXXX reporting. 
In an update last week ( XXXX XXXX, XXXX ) XXXX reported on XXXX XXXX 's file to Equifax that we were late in XX/XX/XXXX. THE ACCOUNT WAS CLOSED IN XX/XX/XXXX so this is not possible. 
XXXX reporting XXXX Account number, incorrect high credit, and incorrect date of first delinquency. I have attached the original settlement statement that has an account number on it that does not match the account number of what is reporting. I have attached a settlement statement that shows that when we paid off the mortgage in XX/XX/XXXX we paid {$270.00}, XXXX and not {$230000.00}. I am also attaching an example of how the account reported inaccurately over the years and re-aged the account in order to extend the date of first delinquency. 
XXXX also did not respond to INVESTIGATION REQUEST : On XXXX XXXX, XXXX we certified a letter to XXXX through USPS and also faxed a letter requesting an investigation and requesting proof. ( see attached proof that shows the fax was received on XXXX XXXX and the certified letter on XXXX XXXX ) They acknowledged they received the request but did not provide any information. ( see attached ) I am a resident of Texas. According to Texas Finance Code, XXXX must provide information within 30 days. The deadline for XXXX to respond was XXXX XXXX, XXXX. 
By failing to respond to our investigation request within the allotted timeframe as is set forth by Texas Finance Code, XXXX has confirmed that the information they are reporting is inaccurate and they should immediately delete the trade line.

I have an item from XXXX that was showing as a collection account from t mobile. for XXXX.When I noticed this amount on my credit I contacted XXXX to find out why I have this amount in collections since I currently still have service with XXXX. They advised me it was due to me upgrading my account. I was n't aware of the amount and found it strange to collect on an amount when service is still being rendered by the organization. So I paid the amount in full and wrote to the XXXX in regards to the situation. I received a response from the XXXX on behalf of XXXX as well as a XXXX agent calling me advising that as of XXXX XXXX they requested the collection agency to have this negative information removed from my profile with the CRAs and it would take up to 90 days. It was removed from XXXX and XXXX but still reflecting with Equifax. When I wrote to Equifax they advised me that they are reporting accurate information and it will not be removed. The XXXX agent assured me this would be removed and I have this in writing so I want it removed from my Equifax report. Its almost been a full year since this issue was resolved and I would like to be compensated for my time and stress this has caused due to this issue not being resolved in a timely manner when I sent Equifax this proof in writing. It seems as if they are being discriminatory and just see a XXXX name and say hey leave it on there even with proof she was told this would be removed!
