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

On XX/XX/22 I contacted national credit systems regarding the two trade lines reporting negatively on my consumer report. They advised me that my file was with XXXX XXXXXXXX XXXX XXXXXXXX. The law firm confirmed that I only have one debt but they were not going to remove the second account until the first Alleged debt was paid. I sent this Exact letter to XXXX XXXX XXXX, XXXX, Equifax, and XXXX. XXXX removed both trade lines and Equifax and XXXX just removed one. My complaint is directed towards XXXX XXXX XXXX due to them verifying the debt with the credit reporting agencies but sending me a letter saying their Unable to locate my account. 


This ONE company is in violation of the following : FDCPA 15 USC 1692g FDCPA 15 USC 1692e FDCPA 15 USC 1692f FDCPA 15 USC 1692k And furthermore NCSs actions are putting XXXX and Equifax at risk due to these credit reporting agencies violating the following : FCRA Section 623 ( a ) ( 3 ) FCRA Section 623 ( a ) ( 1 ) ( a ) ( b )

Complaint sub-issue: Deposits and withdrawals

Unable to link my PNC bank account with XXXX for stock trading.
Complaint sub-issue: Other problem

On XX/XX/XXXX I received an email from discover which looked like spam asking me to sign form XXXX. I called Discover and was advised that I needed to complete this form by XX/XX/XXXX or my account would be closed for non compliance. I have had this Discover card since XXXX with no issues and have always made my payments on time and mostly have paid the card in full every month. I have never been asked for to sign this form with any other company. And I have an XXXX with a XXXX spend limit. I could see sending something for income verification at application or if I requested a credit line increase, but I have not done anything like that. This seems to be retaliation from Discover since I sued them last year for a fraudulent charge that they would not remove. I cant see how a company would be allowed to access my tax returns when there really isnt a need for them to do so. This seems extremely predatory and deceptive to ask for this after five years and only after we settled our case last year. Its also odd that from most of the reviews I have read online about this is that Discover is closing cards if there are discrepancys which I also find odd considering most people use household income and some households file separate returns if they arent married.

I have sent in multiple letters with my FTC identity theft report and XXXX and Equifax have removed all the accounts I reported as identity theft but one account. XXXX XXXX is still reporting on my credit report. pursuant to 15 USC 1681c-2 : " A consumer reporting agency shall block the reporting of any information in the file of a consumer that the consumer identifies as information that resulted from an alleged identity theft, not later than 4 business days after the date of the receipt by such agency of, '' XXXX and Equifax have not giving proof of this account and they tell me the count is verified but they were not there when this transaction took place so I dont know how they are coming to this conclusion.

Dear Legal Department, This credit dispute is being submitted as a new evidence dispute. The accounts that are being disputed, does not belong to me. Below is my sworn statement concerning these credit issues.

It is my sworn statement that I declare under penalty of perjury ( " under the laws of the United States " if executed outside of the United States '' ) that the foregoing is true and correct to the best of my knowledge. Further, I certify that I am qualified and authorized to file this dispute. I also understand that knowing and a willful misstatement or omissions of material facts constitutes a federal criminal violation punishable under 18 U.S.C. 1001. Additionally, these misstatements are punishable l1S perjury under 18U.S.C. 1621.

The tradelines listed below are items currently within my credit file, and none of these are related to any transaction that was made by me. It is my official statement that someone and/or several people have opened these accounts and made transactions on these accounts without my knowledge or authorization, my personal information has been used to obtain goods, services, or money : and the person ( s ) responsible for creating these accounts.

I have filed a report with the Federal Trade Commission, which I have enclosed within this dispute package. I have reached out to all of these creditors and have made them aware that these accounts were fraudulently opened, and they have known this for several months, but have yet to remove these accounts from my credit reports. Some of the creditors have been cooperative and have removed the accounts, but others have refused to remove the fraudulent accounts. Therefore, I have come to you, the credit reporting agencies to resolve these issues. The law says that you must block these accounts while being investigated, and I expect that you will do so.

I made an attempt to file a police report, but I was informed by my county that it did not constitute as an emergency and that they would not file the report because I didn't have any information on the person who used my information, nor did I know how my information was obtained by this person.

Likewise, these COLLECTION ACCOUNTS are also not mine.  None of these belong to me. This means that I was not the person, which had an account with the original creditor, which has sold these accounts to these collection agencies that are now reporting the debts.

Complaint sub-issue: Debt was paid

On XX/XX/2019 XXXX went to XXXX XXXX for XXXX XXXX. We paid the bill using our XXXX on XX/XX/2019 which combined the payment with another charge from XXXX XXXX that occurred on that same day. Attached is proof that XXXX XXXX cashed the check. In XXXX we received a statement from NPAS stating we still had the full amount unpaid. We called them and said it was paid and sent them the attachment showing the check was cashed by XXXX XXXX. They then said it would go back to a special department that handles these situations. We called that special department and they said the payment was used in the wrong account and they would refund the check and then we could resubmit. We never got a check from them. We called them and they said they would escalate and see what went wrong and give us a call. They never called. We called them after a few weeks and they said they would try again and that it would take 30 days. After thirty days we called them back and they gave us a run around and basically nothing had happened and they needed another 30 days. After another 30 days we called and nothing had happened and they were going to escalate, call us back, yet they did nothing. We now have received another bill from NPAS sating we have to pay the entire amount in full. They took our money and didn't apply it to our account. They won't give it back, and now are charging us again. That amounts to them stealing our money, threatening to ruin our credit history by sending us to collections if we don't pay twice.
Complaint sub-issue: Debt is not yours

XXXX  by claim stated I owe them a debt produced by hospital ( XXXX XXXX ), which the name of facility were brought to my attention ; sounds unfamiliar. I called the hospital and provided them my information, they were not seeing no past visit within their systems or debt for any collection to be active. I disputed this information with XXXX  which they refuse to comply to verify the information based on my dispute ; with estoppel to my defense, I'm now disputing this information with all credit bureaus actively reporting false information on my file since theres no accurate validation of such debt.

TO : CFPBFrom : XXXX XXXX : XXXX Reporting and EquifaxThank you not only for your help on previous matters but, the sincere heartfelt participation and effort of your group has made on my family 's behalf. 
Unfortunately, This is likely my last correspondence concerning this matter, frankly I just give up. 
For those of us who played by the rules and watched our lives be destroyed by unscrupulous servicers XXXX, we appreciate you. It would be great to get my credit rating back where it was and receive lower interest rates, cheaper insurance and credit cards, maybe a decent student loan. The XXXX settlement simply was n't and will never be enough. My bankruptcy was filed XXXX XXXX transferred in to XXXX, never reflecting the correct reporting as required on FCRA, it 's been a circus since then. 
I attached XXXX things, the Equifax reporting I just received in the mail and the actual transfer letter from XXXX XXXX. It 's not a XXXX XXXX issue, it 's an Equifax issue. No need to go back XXXX. 
I only have a XXXX education but, I can certainly read the Account History Status Code Descriptions. 
A-Labeled XXXX thru XXXX to reflect XXXX to a 149 days past due. Please read their " Account History with Status Codes '', does it not have the numbers XXXX thru XXXX being reported? 
B- Above it, it states " STATUS '' 60-89 days past due. 
C-Above that it states ( XXXX columns of from the left ) " DATE OF LAST PAYMENT '' XXXX, that is Equifax just not being serious, they transferred it without receiving a last payment. XXXX See transfer disclosure- ignore writings, that was XXXX BK Dept info ). If Equifax is counting the Check XXXX wrote to buy the loan as last payment, then every time a loan is transferred the cycle would start over. I believe FCRA intended for the last payment made be from the consumer. 
The date of last payment is important, under FCRA it 's 7 years to delete this line item. If they just make this up, my family is harmedI can only supply the proof, the rest is up to them. The entire reporting of the XXXX XXXX is to be deleted per FCRAXXXX
