Complaint sub-issue: Problem with personal statement of dispute

I, XXXX XXXX hereby files a complaint to clear my name with two creditors that need to take an identity theft matter seriously. I have attached to this complaint copies of my original complaints on both creditors. The responsible party for this identity theft was my own father. I should not be penalized for his actions, and for that matter I did request copies of all original creditor contracts that were fraudulently signed with my name. I never received any credit cards from either creditor, and I never knew the accounts existed until I was notified that these credit cards were in default after they were maxed out on credit limits. It does not matter to me if this identity theft is turned over to the proper legal authorities, as what is important is that the truth must be exposed. 
Accordingly, all fraudulent accounts must be deleted from my credit reports permanently. I did receive notice on one of the deletion pages from Equifax, whereas XXXX XXXX stated that they reviewed the creditor documents, and that there was sufficient evidence showing that I was the signing party, and the person responsible for payment. This is a complete fabrication. Therefore, I have no choice but to file a complaint with Equifax as well as every credit reporting bureau that the investigation process mandated by the subscriber agreements signed by creditors is being ignored. Each creditor must comply under the Fair Credit Reporting Act and the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act under the subscriber agreement upon. Therefore, I file this complaint with the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau to fulfill the agreements between creditors and credit bureaus. 
All the complaints must be taken seriously, and my rights must be protected. All accounts must be deleted permanently from my credit bureaus, and I must be given notice that my name and social security number have been purged to avoid future collection activities, either by the creditors directly or any associated collection agencies. 
I will obtain legal counsel if necessary as these violations on my rights have caused me great financial harm as well as mental and physical problems. These accounts must be deleted permanently, and my name and social security number must be purged immediately.
Complaint sub-issue: Debt is not mine

I HAVE ALREADY TOLD THESE PEOPLE THAT THE DEBT IS NOT MINE AND THEY ARE CONSISTENTLY CALLING ME FROM DIFFERENT NUMBERS.
Complaint sub-issue: Information belongs to someone else

I recently had incorrect information removed from all three of my credit reports in XXXX of this year. XXXX, Equifax, and XXXX  all removed a debt that was NOT mine from my reports. XXXX XXXX XXXX was reporting a debt from XXXX that was NOT mine. I have NEVER lived in a XXXX area and I've never had their services. Some woman with my name lives in XXXX ( a XXXX area ), and I assume it is hers ... as Equifax falsely has the XXXX address as one of my former addresses ( added this month -- even though I have lived in my house for 5 years ). Now, the debt was sold to XXXX XXXX XXXX and it has landed BACK on all three of MY credit reports. Equifax never lets me into my online account -- EVER. So, I can not dispute online. I filed another dispute with XXXX  today. XXXX 's site is down. I can not fight this every time it is sold. XXXX XXXX was told they couldn't collect ( as it ISN'T MINE ), so they SOLD it to XXXX  and they've added it FALSELY to ALL of my reports again -- just 4 months after I had this resolved. I have NEVER had an account in collections -- EVER and it is ruining my credit score. Some woman in XXXX didn't pay her cable bill and I'm being punished for it. I want this debt removed for good from ALL three repositories.

Upon reviewing my updates, the incorrect information was still found in my reports which I believe has been taken care of due to the written appeals I sent. The last letter sent to 3 Credit Bureaus was XX/XX/XXXX, but no response was ever received from them to date.Thus, their action has violated the Fair Credit Reporting Act, 15 USC Sections 1681i, which states that continued reports of the unverified information without any proof provided, within the time allowed by law, is not authorized. The following accounts and inquiries listed below are still reporting on my Credit Reports and need to delete immediately : XXXX : XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX Balance : {$0.00} XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX Balance : {$0.00} XXXX XXXXXXXX Balance : {$0.00} XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX Balance : {$0.00} XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX Balance : {$0.00} XXXX  XXXX Balance : {$0.00} XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX : {$0.00} XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX : {$0.00} XXXX XXXXXXXX Balance : {$0.00} XXXX XXXXXXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXXXXXX Bankruptcy Reference # : XXXX Liability : {$0.00} Equifax XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX Balance : {$0.00} XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX Balance : {$0.00} XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX Balance : {$0.00} XXXX XXXX Balance : {$0.00} XXXX XXXX Balance : {$0.00} XXXX XXXX Balance : {$0.00} XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX Balance : {$0.00} XXXX XXXX XXXX Balance : {$0.00} XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXXXXXX Balance : {$0.00} XXXX XXXXXXXX Balance : {$0.00} U.S. Bankruptcy Court Bankruptcy Reference XXXX XXXX XXXX Liability : {$0.00} XXXX XX/XX/XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX

Complaint sub-issue: Account information incorrect

Equifax has me locked out their credit reporting site because a XXXX didn't like my XXXX and was just the rudest ca person I ever met. 

05 hard inquiries are put in as fraud or the customer service person did it on purpose. I wish I was lying but these XXXX  are just rude and taught XXXX law not American law. 

They are taught to hang up on you and to say no matter what the FTC American laws. 

5 inquireys ruined my report. They are all fraud and had credit freeze on them. 

XXXX CREDIT CARD FROM 08 YEARS ago want come off credit report. I think the Indians from XXXX hate Americans and did this to XXXX me. Nothing I can do but sue, take to small claims court, or call Pattorney general of my state. 

Use a credit card should have been off my report a year ago. They are doing this to help businesses and not consumers. 
It was XXXX dollars and it was never showed by the end FTC laws that this was legal. Fcra laws tells exactly how the investigation section XXXX, XXXX, XXXX and XXXX. These federal and state laws were not given the right investigation that people could go to jail. 


XXXX also says I was late 4 years ago and they have lied to the FTC and FAIR CREDIT REPORTING ACT. THEY NEED TO BE SUED AND GO TO JAIL.

Complaint sub-issue: Problem getting my free annual report

I applied for my free credit report via annualcreditreport.com, as I do every year. I have been unable to get an online version from Equifax since XX/XX/XXXX. ( XXXX and XXXX have no problem with my online report. ) In XX/XX/XXXX, I sent in my written request and had to follow up two more times before I received it. 
In XX/XX/XXXX, I sent in my written request and had to follow up once again before I received it. 
In XX/XX/XXXX, Equifax would not even let me get to the identity-verification questions online, and I was told to send in a written request. ( I was about to travel for work and was not able to send it in. ) Now, in XX/XX/XXXX, Equifax again will not give me online access, and I again look forward to the hassle of requesting it through the mail. 

I have not changed addresses, I have not changed my name, and I login from home. There is no reason for me to have such additional hassle to get Equifax to comply with my request. It seems they want to make it as difficult as possible, in hopes of discouraging users from getting their files, and I suspect they are attempting to avoid their legal requirement to send consumers their reports. Thank you.
Complaint sub-issue: Their investigation did not fix an error on your report

Equifax and XXXX  are reporting incorrectly that I am ( 30 ) days past due on the XXXX partial account number  XXXX. ( Please see page attached from my credit report. ) This account reports a {$0.00} balance and {$0.00} past due. Please keep in mind that it is impossible to be late on an account with a {$0.00} balance. This incorrect reporting is harming my credit score and this line item needs to be removed from my credit report.

Complaint sub-issue: Didn't receive terms that were advertised

I opened my citi bank account with a bonus of getting {$400.00}, after I deposit XXXX into my account in 30 days after opening, and keep the money for 60 days. I opened the account on XX/XX/XXXX, put {$15000.00} on XX/XX/XXXX, kept {$15000.00} for 60 days. The terms said I should receive the bonus 90 days after I keep the money for 60 days. So I should have gotten the bonus by XX/XX/26. However, I still have not gotten the bonus. 

When I call Citi, they tell me to keep waiting. Even though the bonus was due on XX/XX/26. I would like to get my {$400.00} bonus ASAP since its already overdue.

Complaint sub-issue: Their investigation did not fix an error on your report

XXXX XXXX XXXX reported me 30 days late. I disputed it several times with XXXX XXXX and the credit agencies. I provided documentation that showed my bill is auto payed from my bank account and since they included a large interest payment one month, the payment was slightly short. I kept paying my bill month after month ( never " missed '' a payment ) they kept carrying over this small amount of interest, not known to me, and eventually considered the entire account late. 

XXXX Disputed it several times with this criminal credit reporting agencies who hold you XXXX with a number. You can't talk to anyone and have to mail letters ( what is this XXXX )? They return the dispute results that show XXXX XXXX as reporting me late, XXXX XXXX doesn't present any evidence, only that they have a piece of paper that says they said I was late! 

XXXX I dispute with Equifax once again. They respond in a few days and they obviously did not do any additional digging. They send me back this attached report that says nothing at all except that XXXX XXXX says I was 30 days late in XX/XX/XXXX. Equifax is so bad and does such a disservice to the public that I'm going to also attach a screenshot of what they show on my report right now! They show 60 days late, and blank payments for XXXX and XX/XX/XXXX. They literally just sent a dispute report back to me that says it was only 30 days late and they can't even update their own website and info? you are supposed to trust these people with your credit file? It's disgusting..They don't get anything correct and I'm sick of dealing with them. People have enough to worry about in this difficult time than to deal with this non sense.
Complaint sub-issue: Account information incorrect

I have been writing and calling XXXX XXXX XXXX since XX/XX/XXXX to investigate late payments I noticed on my credit reports. I have always paid on-time and as agreed with no problems. So the late payments on my credit reports were new to me when I discovered them earlier this year. First I contacted the companies directly numerous times via telephone and written requests as they implied. They were being very difficult about investigating this from their responses, so I contacted the credit bureaus ( XXXX, XXXX  & Equifax ) to investigate the late payments for me. In return these companies  never responded to my request. 

XXXX XXXX XXXX  are reporting late payments for XX/XX/XXXX, XX/XX/XXXX, XX/XX/XXXX

Complaint sub-issue: Difficulty submitting a dispute or getting information about a dispute over the phone

On or about XX/XX/2020, I received notice from XXXX XXXX that my credit score had changed. Nothing had changed about my payment history or accounts, so I logged in, hoping that the fact that my bankruptcy, now about 10 years old, had fallen off of my report and would improve my credit score. Instead, what I found was that there was one solitary change to my credit report, that the bankruptcy had fallen off, and that my score had FALLEN by 44 points with XXXX, and 34 points with Equifax. There were NO other changes. I called each of the companies to ask why my score would have fallen and fallen SUBSTANTIALLY when the only change to my report was a positive one, the removal of a 10-year-old bankruptcy. Note, my husband 's score, and he shares virtually ALL of our credit history, went up by 20 points. I do not understand AT ALL. This makes no sense. So I spent hours on the phone calling both of the companies, asking how it could be that the removal of a negative event, flagged as yellow or red on the reports for the high impact it should have had on my credit, should result in the largest drop I've seen in my credit ever. Equifax is sending me a copy of my report so I can review it, but based upon the information in XXXX XXXX, I don't anticipate seeing anything incorrect as to the records, only this completely illogical result in my score. Please help. This should not happen. It's completely unfair and I'm trying to buy a house.
