A while back I lost my wallet with all my personal information inside. I didn't think much of it and just went to get a new social security and DL. I continued with my everyday life and never had an issue. Just a couple of days ago I decided to pull my credit because I continued to get suspicious letters in the mail. I looked at my report and I am shocked with the number of items that were opened on my name. These suspicious items are not mine. I have contacted the FTC and my local police and I am doing this on my own behalf. Please remove these from my report : 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 Company Inquiries XXXX XXXX/XXXX   XXXX XXXX   XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX

Complaint sub-issue: Account status incorrect

In XXXX of XXXX, Ally Financial stopped reporting my decreased loan balance to the credit bureaus, so I called them and requested that my new monthly balance be updated. I called them every month from XX/XX/XXXX until XXXX of XXXX. Even when I had paid off my loan on XX/XX/XXXX, Ally Financial refused to update my information and report my account as being paid in full. They promised me they would make the necessary corrections but never did. It wasnt until XX/XX/XXXX, that I was alerted that Ally Financial closed my loan account and reported me as being over 60 days delinquent on payments. I checked my credit reports to find that Ally Financial had reported the months of XXXX, XXXX, and XXXX as paid. However, XXXX through XXXX were reported as no data. Meanwhile, XXXX and XXXX had been marked as delinquent. I immediately called Ally Financial frustrated because they promised that they would update my information but never did. Ally Financial was being deceitful, so I filed two disputes with three major credit bureaus ( i.e. XXXX, XXXX, and XXXX  ). The first dispute that I filed was practically ignored because Ally Financial reported to the credit bureaus that nothing was wrong with my account ; so, everything stayed the same. Thats when I requested Ally Financial to send me the necessary documents that I needed to prove that I was correct and show that Ally Financial was falsifying my information. I included my documents as proof when I filed my second dispute. However, all three credit bureaus are still reporting various false information. The date that my loan was paid off is wrong, the months that my loan was being paid are incorrect, my account is still dated as being delinquent, the date of my first delinquency is reported as of XX/XX/XXXX, and my account status is still reported as not more than three payments past due. I was never late on a single payment. Ive requested for Ally Financial to correct everything and they havent. How can Ally still report that I made payments in XXXX and XXXX when my loan had already been paid off since XXXX? That has to be illegal. I believe they reported it like that on purpose, to make it seem like I was behind on payments for two months, and finally paid off the delinquent payments. We are now in XXXX, after eight long months of back and forth phone calls with Ally Financial, and three grueling months of filing credit disputes, I refuse to file a third dispute. The credit bureaus continue to report what Ally Financial says and refuse to make the corrections that I have sent proof of. Ally Financial has affected, and is still affecting, my credit score with their fraudulent activities. My credit score fell about 200 points! Im trying my best to get back to the initial score I had before the derogatory trades were reported in XXXX. However, its difficult to do so when negative information wont be removed from my file. I have done my part, without help from Ally Financial, and I am now at my wits ' end. Im hoping you can correct this for me and hold Ally Financial accountable.

On XX/XX/2021 I sent a letter re : inaccurate and unknown things on my credit report. It has been over 60 days and I have not received a response yet. I feel like I am being ignored and taken advantage of regarding my disputes. Section 611 ( a ) clearly states that a failure to investigate these items within 30 days gives reason to immediately remove those items from my credit report. It has been over 60 days so they should be promptly deleted.I am distressed that you have included the information below in my credit profile and that you have failed to maintain reasonable procedures in your operations to assure maximum possible accuracy in the credit reports you publish. Credit reporting laws ensure that bureaus report only 100 % accurate credit information.

Upon reviewing an updated copy of my Credit Report, I immediately noticed that the Credit Bureaus hever took action and ignored my letters requesting the removal of the disputed items. I believed that this issue had been resolved because of the written letters I had sent to the credit bureaus. My last letter to the credit bureaus, which I sent in the hopes that they would act and take notice of my Disputes, was sent on XX/XX/2022. I am disappointed and frustrated to see that no changes were made to correct the erroneous reporting of the Disputed items on my Credit File. The Fair Credit Reporting Act section 605b requires the credit bureaus to remove items that the consumer believes were acquired as a result of identity theft, and by disregarding my appeals, the credit bureaus have violated this provision. I've informed the FTC about the identity theft, and I've been included the Identity Theft Report I obtained in my correspondence with the credit bureaus. I'm submitting this complaint to ask the Credit Bureaus to look into it again and properly confirm the accuracy of the information being reported on my credit file this time. The credit reporting companies have let me down in the past, and if they continue to refuse to remedy their blatant disregard for the FCRA regulation, I will be left with no alternative but to file a lawsuit. I need the following things removed right away. I need the following items deleted immediately : XXXX XXXX XXXX, XXXX, XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX C XXXX XXXX XXXX AV XXXX XXXX, MO XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX, MO XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX, MO XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX MO XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX, MO XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX, MO XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX Owed : {$1000.00} XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX Owed : {$130.00} XXXX XXXX Balance Owed : {$980.00} XXXX  XXXX XXXX XXXX Balance Owed : {$51.00} XXXX XXXX XXXX  XXXX Balance Owed : {$70.00} XXXX XXXX Balance Owed : {$170.00}

To whom it may concern, I have recently discovered that there is unauthorized information in my name being used on my credit reports and would like to file a dispute. This information is unauthorized and I did not approve it to reflect on my credit reports. I believe I may be a victim of identity theft. I have a security lock on my credit report and I was not alerted to this information being authorized on my reports and I am insisting that they be deleted from my credit report as soon as possible. These items are fraudulent and impacting my relationships with creditors. I have reported the theft of my identity to the Federal Trade Commission, please review the enclosed copies of the Federal Trade Commissions Identity Theft Affidavit in regard to this incident. In addition, I have attached a PDF document reflecting all items that were found to be unauthorized by any such. Please investigate these matters and remove the disputed items as soon as possible.

XXXX collection has an account from esurance that was taken out by my ex-husband with a vehicle he financed in my name. In our divorce settlement in XX/XX/2020 he was ordered to take responsibility of that debt and all that related to it. I do not XXXX, I am legally XXXX, he is the one that was in charge of whatever insurance he wanted to put on there. This is not my collection, I did not open this account- it was done online by him like everything else he did behind my back. If anything its my ex-husbands and it should go on his credit report. I even offered this company to pay them the full balance to remove this incorrect account collection on my credit report and they refused to remove it. That was me being considerate and now I have to get legal over a debt that doesnt belong to me for a lousy {$86.00} but it is the principal and the violation of my rights under the fair credit act. Every dispute I have filed they have taken over 45 days to respond and my lender/loan officer is upset. I have excellent credit without this collection.

Upon checking my updated report, the accounts listed below are still showing on my credit report. I have already sent out letters to Equifax Bureau for them to verify and investigate those accounts. The Credit Bureau failed to comply with the Fair Credit Reporting Act, 15 USC sections 1681i within the time declared by law and continued reporting of unconfirmed information which now, given all my attempts to address it directly with the Bureau, as willful negligence and non-compliance with federal statutes. Please remove the following accounts completely from my Credit Reports : US DEPT ED XXXX Balance : {$1800.00} Date OpenedXX/XX/XXXX/2018 US DEPT ED XXXX Balance : {$2300.00} Date Opened : XXXX/XXXX/2018

Time has already passed but up until now, I havent heard any kind of response from the 3 Credit Bureaus which made me decide to seek assistance from you. They have shown negligence and an act of refusal of complying with my request. I know for a fact that they are to comply with the Fair Credit Reporting Act law, to provide proof, documents, and give definite and accurate responses, within the given statutory time. This is not a duplicate nor is this complaint being filed by a third party, I am filing this complaint myself. Please see this complaint is processed to the letter of the law. However, if they failed to do so, they are obliged to remove the account which are erroneous and unverified. Their unfavorable and unacceptable actions have been hurting my credit scores immensely.

Complaint sub-issue: Debt was already discharged in bankruptcy and is no longer owed

I moved out of my apartment about 6 months into a 12 month lease. The landlord and I agreed they would keep the security deposit and I would move out voluntarily in 7 days. A week later I gave the building manager the keys and became homeless. 

I recently saw a collection account on my credit report for {$9600.00} from IQ Data showing the apartment building as the creditor. I called IQ Data and asked them to email me documentation about the amount. They offered to send it US mail but refused to email it to me. I am homeless and do not have a mailing address because I can not find a new apartment with their collection on my credit.
Complaint sub-issue: Information is not mine

In XXXX 2013 I became the victim of identity theft. One of the accounts is from XXXX in XXXX, IL. I have successfully remove all fraudulent accounts and addresses from all credit reports by repeatedly providing a police report, signed affidavit and supporting documentation, including a history of events and fraudulent account disputes and resolutions. However, equifax has been notified several times of my identity theft and this specific fraudulent account. I did n't even receive confirmation of my first notice of fraud to equifax. It was only after my second fax of documentation that equifax acknowledged my dispute. It took several notices of fraudulent addresses for equifax to remove those, and they have now refused to remove this particular account from XXXX. XXXX, XXXX, XXXX XXXX XXXX, and several other fraud investigators have been very responsive and accurate. This problem is particular to Equifax.
