Complaint sub-issue: Reporting company used your report improperly

This is my final attempt to have this account removed from EVERY CONSUMER REPORTING AGENCY INCLUDING EQUIFAX, XXXX, and XXXX. All consumer reporting agencies have tarnished my name and have kept me from obtaining credit. They have ruined my reputation and character. They have violated the FCRA and many other Act as well. This is the last attempt before I seek litigation.

12 CFR 1022.1 Regulation V ( a ) Purpose. The purpose of this part is to implement the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ). This part generally applies to persons that obtain and use information about consumers to determine the consumer 's eligibility for products, services, or employment, share such information among affiliates, and furnish information to consumer reporting agencies.

I have asked XXXXXXXX XXXX XXXX XXXXXXXX to verify and validate the debt they alleged I owe, and I requested that the ORIGINAL CREDITOR be identified according to 12 CFR 1006 Regulation f The Fair Debt Collection Practice Act XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXXXXXX has failed to validate the debt therefore should delete all unverified information from my account ASAP. XXXXXXXX XXXX XXXX XXXXXXXX should delete all account information they share with Equifax, XXXX, XXXX, and any other Consumer Reporting Agency.

Complaint sub-issue: Debt is not yours

My account was deleted and removed by original creditor and credit reports on XX/XX/XXXX Received a suspicious letter XX/XX/XXXX ( also another SCAM it was back-dated XXXX but not postmarked till XX/XX/XXXX - stating needs to be paid within x amount of days from DATE of letter - SCARE TATIC and misuse of DATES ). 

this account is not valid, it is an account that was deleted. 

this company is not valid - who us XXXX? They write the letter 'as if " they are the original creditor / account / collection company - THEY ARE NOT. 
this company is trying to use scare tactics to make people believe they own a debt that is not valid. 

PROTECT yourself, protect your loved ones from SCAMS LIKE THIS that are allowed to happen by the government and these " debt collectors ''. No one cares but you, so READ everything CAREFULLY. 

In tiny fine print it says if you pay the debt they can then reinstate it and sue you! For a debt that isn't in VALID or LEGALLY BINDING! If you look closer you will see THEY CAN NOT SUE YOU, they can not even REPORT on this debt- why? because it is INVALID, deleted, removed or doesn't even exist. 

Legally they can not sue you or reinstate a deleted debt that you do not owe. DO NOT BE FOOLED by this COMPANY 's -- - GROSS MISUSE, MISREPRESENTATION and HARASSMENT. FTC and CFPB won't do anything so stand up for yourself and against companies using GROSS MISUSE TATICS for people who are under-read and do not have the comprehension skills to understand the MISREPRESENTATION of the language they are using and TWISTING to their benefit.
Complaint sub-issue: Account status

Complaint sub-issue: Debt was result of identity theft

This account has been charged off by the original debtor. It is way past the statute of limitations. It has been sold various times over and over to debt collectors. Ive been a victim of harassment for over 11yrs. Since XXXX or longer Ive had wages and bank accounts garnished with no detailed proof that the debt is actually that of mine. Ive requested to see a print out or statement from the original creditor showing a detailed breakdown of every charge. A fradulent debt from years ago has now turned into this massive debt. I have no idea what I am paying for or how theyve reached the sum of over {$16000.00}. 

To this day, I have no proof of how the debt was created and again that the debt is actually that of mine. Years ago I explained to the credit card company charges were not mine. The credit card company agreed to look into it. I didnt realize fraudulent charges were made on this card in my name till months later. Unlike today you get a fraud alert immediately. Years ago this did not exist. 

Back then I was younger, inexperienced and had no money. I didnt know how to fight it or stop it. To this very day, the fraud continues to haunt and plague me. It is like a curse. 

I spoke with an attorney representing the firm in XX/XX/XXXX explaining that I had been a victim of fraud. He told me to take some time gather whatever info I can get and send it to him. It took sometime to gather all the information again after several years had passed. Some documents I had to send for others were in storage. In XX/XX/XXXX, I sent a huge packet of information, police report and other documents indicating stolen identity, forgery and fraud. They never once by mail or phone, even as a courtesy acknowledged that they received the information, would look into it, try to work with me and help clear my name. Nothing in a caring or consoling nature. 

But instead, by their actions they've proved to be the predatory debt collector who prey on the innocent. They sent me another garnishment letter. How insensitive! I feel like the fugitive, accused of a crime not committed. Will you please help me end this?
Complaint sub-issue: Sent card you never applied for

I received a Citi rewards card in the mail that was applied for with my name and information on XX/XX/2020. The card was received by me on XX/XX/2020. I called the credit card company to inquire as to why I received a credit card and reported to them that the application was done under fraudulent circumstances. They informed me they would cancel the credit card and open a credit fraud case.

Did you thoroughly check it? The following accounts needs to rectify, it indicates the company name, balance and date last reported : XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX
Complaint sub-issue: Their investigation did not fix an error on your report

In correspondence dated  XXXX  -2017 I maile d this credit repository my request for a dispute, as my credit report contained a number of erroneous entries.     Now that over 30 days have passed I have found this company barely investigated any items and my report is still largely incorrect. In addition, when I reached out the data furnishers they claimed not to be reporting any of the errors the credit repository is showing and claimed they had not been contacted by the repository either.

Complaint sub-issue: Public record information inaccurate

Hello. I have been working to remove 1 alleged state tax lien from my Equifax Credit Report. I have contacted the State of Indiana and obtained certified documentation that the tax lien needs to be removed from my credit report with Equifax. XXXX and XXXX both removed these alleged tax liens. I have sent the information twice to Equifax and both times it has come back verified. 1st Compliance/Validation Check - X/X/17 returned verified X/XX/2017 2nd Compliance/Validation Check- X/XX/2017, returned verified again X/XX/2017 I have included the certified letters form the State of Indiana and I would ask that you draw you attention to the detail in letters stating I have no tax liens against me in the State Indiana and they have removed these liens against me. You will also note in the compliance/validation letters I asked for documentation with my signature which I never received. It is very discouraging that a consumer can follow all process for something that is an error and follow the steps to have it removed from their credit report only to have a computer system XXXX, which is Metro 2 complaint, fail to recognize that consumer has provided all information to validate that said liens are to be removed numerous times. Also inline with the recent settlement between the credit bureaus and 30 plus state attorneys where as certain public records and judgements are to be removed if a record do not meet 3 of 4 identifiers. You will notice that both of the alleged tax liens on my report DO NOT meet 3 of the 4 required identifiers. Again a failure of the credit bureau to follow the settlement agreed to. Also I do not have an address on my credit report with Equifax or any other bureau that ties me to XXXX County, Indiana. Again, attached documents from the State of Indiana Validate that I do not have nor have I had an alleged tax lien. Thank you for your time and appreciate your time!

Complaint sub-issue: Reporting company used your report improperly

Equifax lack of security controls exposed my credit and identity information to hackers. This is unacceptable. Their after-the-fact protections are highly lacking and leave the responsibility in my hands to correct and monitor all activity going forward. This could be extremely costly, time-consuming and ineffective at protecting my information. Unacceptable for a company that should be solely concerned with this as their mission.
Complaint sub-issue: Account status incorrect

This account is showing late. I requested a deferred payment on this account. The deferred payment history is showing late but I was greement the defer payment. I Am requesting the someone investigate this information thoroughly. If the deferred payment was green it there should not be a late payment all my account. I am requesting that this information be removed from my credit report. All 3 career reports is reflect in something different.
