Complaint:
The items listed below are reported on my personal credit file and were found in my reports with 3 credit reporting agencies. These items were opened fraudulently. Ive informed all parties of the issue & provided the necessary documentation to support my claim. The credit reporting agency ( CRA ) & data furnisher ( DF ) are not complying with federal law in regard to identity theft. Additionally, the credit reporting agency & data furnisher have not provided me with any evidence of an open contract, signed contract, or any valid proof this was opened, authorized, or created by me. Since this is a strict violation of FCRA laws I need the items removed from my file.

Company: Gurstel Law Firm, P.C.
State: MN
Product: Debt collection
Sub-product: Credit card debt
Issue: Written notification about debt
Sub-issue: Didn't receive enough information to verify debt

Complaint:
I had a credit card with XXXX XXXX. I am going through hardship and need some help from XXXX XXXX. I contacted them several times asking for help, and was told I didn't qualify for assistance. I then received a letter from XXXX XXXX on XX/XX/2023 that my account was turned over to a collection agency, XXXX XXXX XXXX. They gave me their contact information, I wrote a letter to XXXX XXXX on XX/XX/XXXX asking for help and asked that they contact me via mail, not phone or email. 
On XX/XX/XXXX, I got a collection letter in the mail dated XX/XX/XXXX from a company called Guestel Law Firm stating they were representing XXXX XXXX. I was very confused and assumed this was a scam. They gave me an email address so I wrote them an email on that same day ( XX/XX/XXXX ) explaining my concerns that XXXX XXXX told me I was working with XXXX XXXX XXXX, not with them. I asked for clarification on who I was to work with on this matter. I never heard from them again, so, I assumed I was correct that it was fraudulent activity as they were never mentioned by XXXX XXXX. Then, last night around XXXX, I answered my door and was served a summons that I was being sued for a debt I owe to XXXX XXXX, filed in XXXX XXXX MN. 
I never got clarification on who was handling the account. XXXX XXXX never XXXX time mentioned this law firm, and they never bothered to reply to my email. So I was waiting to hear back from XXXX XXXX. Now, I have a summons even though I clearly stated in my email that I was confused and needed clarification. How can this be legal? I was never told that my account was going to be sued. 
I have always paid my bills on time. I do not want to be in this situation, but I am. And I can't do anything about my financial situation at the moment.

Issue: Incorrect information on your report
Sub-issue: Account information incorrect

Complaint:
I am writing to express my dissatisfaction with the inaccurate credit reporting made by Equifax. On XX/XX/2023, my XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX account, which had been paid off and closed, was reported to have a balance of {$630.00} by Equifax. 

I would like to bring to your attention that this is a completely inaccurate report, and it has significantly affected my credit score. I do not owe any amount on this account, and it has been paid off and closed in full. This false report by Equifax has damaged my credit score, which has impacted my ability to access credit when I need it. 

This is not the first time that Equifax has reported inaccurately on my credit report. This incident has further raised concerns regarding the reliability and credibility of Equifax 's credit reporting process. It is disappointing to see such errors that affect the credit score and financial standing of individuals. 

I urge you to investigate this matter and take prompt action to remove this incorrect information from my credit report. I am hoping for a swift resolution to this matter and would appreciate a response from you as soon as possible. 

Thank you for your attention to this matter.

Sub-issue: Investigation took more than 30 days

Complaint:
On ( XX/XX/2023 ) I sent a letter regarding inaccurate Late payments, inaccurate negative accounts, bankruptcies and unknown things on my credit report. To this day over 60 days later I have not received a response yet. feel like i'm being taken advantage of and being ignored of my disputes. Section 611 ( a ) it is plainly stated that failure to investigate these items within 30 days gives a reason to immediately remove those negative items from my credit report as well as correct my late payments as paid on time. It has been over 60 days so they should be corrected promptly. I demand these negative accounts be deleted & correct late payments as paid on time immediately or I will file for litigation due to the stress you caused me. My information was also impacted by the Equifax data breach and may have got into the hands of the wrong person.
