I've already had problems with XXXX and Equifax updating my name on my report after reporting me as my father for years. Now that they've recently done so they're giving me problems about removing inquiries that aren't mine or attached to any reporting tradeline of mine. I initially tried to have them removed which led to the discovery of them inaccurately reporting so I had to go back and forth about that in order to start the inquiry disputes. Now that I've done what I'm supposed to do on my end they're telling me to contact the original creditors ( which I've done ) and they're giving me backlash and the run around about the inaccurate inquiries.

Sub-product: Credit reporting
Issue: Problem with a credit reporting company's investigation into an existing problem
Sub-issue: Their investigation did not fix an error on your report

Complaint:
I hereby lodge a formal complaint against Comenity Bank and XXXX XXXX for practices that I assert violate the provisions of the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ) and the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act ( FDCPA ). My understanding, in accordance with the agreement I signed with Comenity Bank, was that all disputes pertaining to my account would be settled via arbitration. However, to my dismay and without my permission or involvement in any arbitration process, Comenity Bank assigned my loan to XXXX XXXX, a collection agency. Their subsequent response confirmed my suspicions ; they no longer held the debt, which had been passed on to a collection agency. I contend that this act not only breaches our contract but also infringes my rights as a consumer. 

Upon discovering this issue, I promptly reached out to Comenity Bank, expressing my intention to resolve the debt directly with them. Yet, despite my eagerness to do so, Comenity Bank declined my request to pull back the debt, which, in my opinion, was sold in an unlawful manner. Moreover, during this transaction, Comenity Bank disclosed my personal information to XXXX XXXX without my approval, an act I insist violates FCRA Section 604 ( a ) ( 3 ) ( F ), which mandates limits on the dissemination of consumer data absent a legitimate business necessity. 

Subsequent to this acquisition, XXXX XXXX has subjected me to harassment, exerting pressure to collect the alleged debt. They have called my phone multiple times within work hours, even going as far as contacting my workplace directly. They went ahead and threatened to report the debt to credit agencies if I failed to comply. In order to halt further harassment and potential damage to my credit report, I reluctantly felt compelled to pay XXXX XXXX. 

I firmly believe these actions contravene FDCPA Sections 806 ( 5 ), 805 ( a ) ( 1 ), and 807 ( 5 ), which respectively prohibit causing a telephone to ring or engaging in telephone conversation with the intent to harass ; communicating with a consumer regarding debt collection at their workplace ; and threatening to take an action that is either legally impossible or not intended to be pursued. 

In view of these issues, I call upon the CFPB to delve into these matters and enact suitable measures to protect my consumer rights. I further implore Comenity Bank to erase this account from my credit report immediately, as I am convinced it was sold and reported to the collection agency in error.
