Complaint sub-issue: Credit inquiries on your report that you don't recognize

My name is XXXX XXXX, and I am sending this request myself to address the inaccuracies on my Credit Reports. I have been patiently waiting on their response to the written requests I sent. However, any modes of response or coordination were not taken on their end. They have not complied with the Fair Credit Reporting Act, 15 USC Sections 1681i within the time allowed by law and continued reporting as unverified information which now, given all my attempts to address it directly with the creditor, as willful negligence and non-compliance with federal statutes. Below are the lists of the erroneous inquiries reporting on my Credit Report : XXXX XXXX Inquired on XX/XX/XXXX ; XXXX & XXXX Inquired on XX/XX/XXXX ; XXXX - XXXX XXXX Inquired on XX/XX/XXXX ; XXXX XXXX Inquired on XX/XX/XXXX ; XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XX/XX/XXXX ; XXXX XXXX Inquired on XX/XX/XXXX ; XXXX XXXX XXXX Inquired on XX/XX/XXXX ; XXXX - AUTO FINANCE Inquired on XX/XX/XXXX ; XXXX XXXX XXXX Inquired on XX/XX/XXXX ; XXXX Inquired on XX/XX/XXXX XXXX

Complaint sub-issue: Information is not mine

I am a victim of identity theft. I sent in to the credit bureau a copy of my identity theft report, police report and a letter detailing the fraudulent items that I requested to be blocked from reporting on my report. Some items were blocked, however, not all of them listed in my letter and in the police report were. There is a fraudulent account with XXXX XXXX and a bankruptcy that is being reported in error on my report. I have never filed bankruptcy, nor have I had an account with XXXX XXXX. I contacted the court directly and was told that they do not report to credit bureaus and that I would have to deal directly with Equifax , as the other credit bureaus blocked the fraudulent reporting. Upon contacting Equifax , I was told that they verified the accounts and will continue to report them. How can they verify them with the court, if the court does not report to them or communicate with them? I do n't understand why Equifax insists on reporting fraudulent information at my expense.

Complaint sub-issue: Trouble with how payments are being handled

My loan was originally with Great Lakes. I have been paying on my loans since the mid XXXX. I borrowed around XXXX. My loan was up as high as XXXX for many years. I had paid it down to close to XXXX or so by paying more than the amount required. Suddenly, my loan was sold to Nelnet. The terms changed, and my loan though I am paying more per month, one of my loans is actually going up. I am not significantly impacting principal, but based upon the document they just sent for interest paid for 2020 ( approx 1,400 ) I am not impacting interest either. They are applying my money to future payments, while claiming to charge daily interest. Furthermore, they told me my loans were not eligible for the cares act interest freeze. During the time I have been paying this loan, I was an XXXX XXXX for five years, I served in the United States XXXX in XXXX, I served as a XXXX XXXX for 8 years, and XXXX XXXX for 8 years. I suffer from XXXX and other service connected injuries I sustained as a result of my service. I also suffer from a XXXX. I am currently 90 % service connected, but to get to this point I spiraled down unknowing, but I have never missed a payment. I have more than paid this loan back. I have paid my home loan down faster. This loan boarders on predatory. This is really unfair.

Complaint sub-issue: Debt is not mine

A collection account from XXXX XXXX has been placed on my credit report erroneously. This account does not belong to me and I have been disputing the account for several weeks to no avail. The debt is being handled by Enhanced Recovery Company , LLC which has repeatedly provided me with incorrect information in regards to the steps to take to get the incorrect information removed from my credit report and they have not been helpful during this entire process. At this point my credit score has been affected as this incorrect information remains on my credit report.
Complaint sub-issue: Billing dispute

Our XXXX account and an email account were breached and charges were made to a credit card. I contacted Equifax per the credit card company to lock credit services. Equifax sold me XXXX XXXX protection service, then upgraded it to another, and then downgraded when the XXXX did not work, and then added an additional XXXX for my wife, as they could not network with XXXX to link the XXXX agencies together. I was supposed to have XXXX service covering " the family '', tying to all XXXX credit reporting services to both my wife and my social security numbers, but they ended up charging me for XXXX, with no complete coverage. 
Equifax instructed me to call XXXX to fix the error. Once I finally found a phone number that connected to live human, XXXX said there was no issue and I should get back on the phone with Equifax and they can directly call XXXX and work out any issues. Equifax said they could not solve the problem, it was up to XXXX and I should wait two weeks for all my credit reports to arrive by mail so I could compare them. At this point, after about 4 hours on the phone with these XXXX agencies, I asked Equifax for the accounts to be cancelled and a refund since I had not ever used the service nor logged onto the accounts. Equifax cancelled the accounts, but refused to give credit even though their product did not do what they sold it to me to do, plus they sold it to me only three hours or less prior to cancellation. 
I did not use their product ever as it was not what they said it was and they could not get it to work as they said it would. Since the the product did not do as it was sold to me, I expect them to stand behind it and provide a refund - no way. They say once XXXX and I figure out what is wrong, it will work. 
Equifax uses high pressure sales to sell you a product that if it does not work, too bad, you still pay at least XXXX month 's monitoring. I agreed to the extra products as the Equifax person suggested I could have everyone on the family plan by the end of the day - not even close. It would take at least XXXX weeks minimum just to find the issue by me, and then who knows how long to get it resolved since the credit reporting agencies leave it up to me to fix.
Complaint sub-issue: Reporting company used your report improperly

I was one of the 143 million people impacted by Equifax 's latest breach back on X/2017. Thus having to spend XXXX dollars of my own money to freeze my credit. These reporting companies need to be held accountable for the massive amount of data that is stored, as the end user has very little recourse about the data that is stored on them, that can greatly impact their lives if the data falls into the wrong hands.

Complaint sub-issue: Indicated committed crime not paying

XXXX XXXX called my job. I was not there. They spoke to my supervisor and did not disclose that they were a debt collection company. They then told her that I would be detained for fraud if i did not contact them. She had no idea it was a debt collector because they misrepresented themselves. She thought I had committed something very serious such as a murder due to the way they spoke to her. She was so scared, she called my phone repeatedly to contact me that i may be detained. I left the facility I was working, because I wanted to resolve the issue. I left work and called to finally find out that this was about a debt. I was so embarrassed that the office thought I had done something terrible.
Complaint sub-issue: Other problem getting your report or credit score

The complaint is about not being able to access my account on Equifax. In XXXX of XXXX, I discovered an identity theft that required me to access all of the credit agencies and make corrections. On year later, on or about XX/XX/XXXX, I discovered another problem that requires fraud alerts on the three credit agencies. There was no problem whatsoever with XXXX and XXXX. However, Equifax was and still is very problematic. When I login to my account, the message contact customer care always appears. After I contact customer care, they become frustrated because I am unable to access the account. I contacted Equifax on XXXX and alerted them the problem. This was between XXXX and XXXX of XXXX. After elevating the issue, I was informed about XX/XX/XXXX that I can not access my account and the reason is not specific. When I tried to get further information, my requests are ignored. I needed to set a fraud alert, review the data, and allow me to access the account to validate the data. Of course, I am not sure how useful or required this is since XXXX and XXXX are reliable.

Complaint sub-issue: Public record

A judgement is listed on my profile although it should not be as it was included in my bankruptcy. This is only incorrectly reflected on equifax and I have repeatedly disputed the matter with them and they contact the court as opposed to the creditor. I 'm not certain why it 's only incorrect on this profile but nothing is being done to resolve the issue. I was referred to the court which indicated they do n't report and the creditors indicated they do n't report as they received the bankruptcy information. At XXXX point it was reported correctly but as of XXXX 2016 I have not been able to resolve this matter.

Complaint sub-issue: Account terms and changes

I am applying for  XXXX   XXXX  service ... they need a credit check but was not able to com  plete one because of a credit security freeze.
I tracked the freeze down to Equifax, the reported a security freeze was on my account. I stated I never requested a freeze on my equifax report. They will not lift unless I pay the fee. I again stated I should not have to pay for something I never requested. The Equifax rep said they do n't keep records of the payment needed at the time the security freeze was requested, which could lead to who done it! I have checked all my records paper and electronic and have never received a notice that Equifax put a security freeze on my report.
The fee is small but I should not have to pay this, it is a mistake! These credit agencies all take hours of waiting on hold and transfers to finally get talking to a real person. They would not allow me to submit a claim or anything that would resolve this correctly without me paying their " Fee ''.
I hope govern  ment regulation will reform these agencies and their operations.
