Complaint sub-issue: Account information incorrect

Back in XXXX, I called equifax to have them look at my file and fix it, also called XXXX, and XXXX All 3 agencies will call the creditors and when the creditor says it is a legitimate debt. I know that most of the collections in my file is medical and they have allowed collectors to put date that they place it for collections, rather than the date of service. This is not fair practice as states have statue of limitations on all debts. Oklahoma is 3 years non contract and 5 for contracts and most of mine are out of statue of limitations. To be collected or sued on. I have brought this up several times and well the debt collection agencies seem to be able to do what ever they want to damage your well being even if you know the laws of your state.
Complaint sub-issue: Didn't receive enough information to verify debt

This company reported very little information to XXXX, so I had no idea what this collection was about, this has intentionally hurt my credit score and  attempts to dispute this was ignored by the collection agency. I called and talked with XXXX  XX/XX/2019 and they informed me the company was XXXX XXXX XXXX for XXXX XXXX. I paid XXXX XXXX directly. Not only does the collection agency not provide information to the consumer on the credit report, but they are also reporting this as an open account in retaliation.
Complaint sub-issue: Debt was paid

I have XXXX negative accounts on my XXXX Report from AR Resources Inc/XXXX. Those accounts are paid in full, because I have XXXX Insurance and when I got to the doctors or hospital XXXX pays my bill in full. 
Please assist me with this matter.

Complaint sub-issue: Information belongs to someone else

On XX/XX/2021 I checked my credit report. Only to find lots of incorrect and fraudulent information on my credit report. I immediately called XXXX Equifax, and XXXX to have the inaccurate and fraudulent information removed. I was informed to put something in writing, along with a FTC report that needed to be submitted, my Drivers License, and one current piece of mail to validate my true identity along with address. I followed the direct orders give by each representative and nothing has changed on my report. I mailed another letter on XX/XX/2021 with another request to have the inaccurate items removed, along with their Method of Verification. I got my credit reports on XX/XX/2021 from XXXX, XX/XX/2021 from XXXX stating their fraud department flagged my documents as fraudulent. I am just disappointed and upset the system they are using to verify documents is out dated and is causing my credit integrity to be compromised. They have disregarded the consumer laws and have shown a lack of correct reporting.
Complaint sub-issue: Talked to a third-party about your debt

I received several missed calls in the last week that led to voicemails telling me I needed to contact a XXXX XXXX back the he was a from a law firm dealing with a pre-legal matter before they file a lawsuit against me. I called him back and spoke with him, he told me he was attempting to collect the money I owed XXXX. That I committed fraud against them and they'd be filing a lawsuit if I didn't make arrangements with him. I told him I wasn't sure what, if anything I could do and wouldn't know at the moment due to a court case with my ex I was in. He said he'd call back next week and see how low he can get it. 
The next week came and I again wasn't able to pick up my phone ( I already explained to him it's our busy season at work and I can't be on my phone ). He left a message again and continued to call 3 more times. He then proceeded to call my Aunt and Uncle and left a Voice mail on their landline saying I was in a lot of trouble and he was trying to locate me. Then said I owed a lot of money to them and I was on the run.

Mr. XXXX not only false identified himself as a lawyer, he threatened legal action, called multiple times including my place of employment and family members, and he actually left messages to my family members stating untrue facts.
Complaint sub-issue: Attempted to collect wrong amount

My husband and I lived in an apartment complex in XXXX from XX/XX/XXXX to XX/XX/XXXX and upon moving out, they sent us an incorrect bill. I called them and explained that we had paid the fee to have our apartment cleaned using their cleaning program and even took them a copy of my cancelled check. They still sent this inaccurate amount to a collection agency named Hunter Warfield. I called Hunter Warfield and even sent them a letter plus corroborating information and they refused to budge stating that the apartment complex said that it was a valid debt. When we applied for an apartment and were denied here in XXXX where we currently live, I learned that this was on my credit report. I contacted XXXX credit reporting agency and filed a dispute. On XX/XX/XXXX, I received a letter from XXXX stating that this collection was no longer on my file. Two years later ( now ), my husband got a free credit report and this collection account is on his account now, when it wasn't 2 years ago. I also found out that it was put back on my account after I was turned down for an apartment. I have contacted XXXX and they are telling me that this collection agency is able to put this information back on my credit report because they are members of the credit reporting agency. I was never notified by XXXX that this was put back on my credit report. I do not understand how a collection agency is allowed to report false information and the consumer has no right to keep it off of their credit report.

The following charge off account listed with XXXX XXXX  XXXX CARD with the account number XXXX has the following inconsistencies and violations. I have attached with this complaint a copy showing all 3 credit bureaus side by side for your review. *The HIGH CREDIT is inconsistent across 2 credit bureaus. If all bureaus receive the same information from the creditor, there should be no inconsistencies. * *The LAST REPORTED is inconsistent across all credit bureaus. If all bureaus receive the same information from the creditor, there should be no inconsistencies. * *The late DATE LAST ACTIVE is inconsistent across all credit bureaus. If all bureaus receive the same information from the creditor, there should be no inconsistencies* *The DATE OF LAST PAYMENT is also inconsistently reported across all credit bureaus.

Complaint sub-issue: Debt was result of identity theft

I have fraudulent accounts reporting to collections : - XXXX XXXX XXXX I don't know how people are getting my information
Complaint sub-issue: Account terms

XXXX has ALL collections through their company, all collection accounts are listed as a revolving type of debt. I have tried disputing this information through equifax. XXXX has listed this type of debt through equifax credit company. I have tried contacting Equifax with no response. Please have this company fix their inaccuracies for XXXX XXXX Medical Center, which are medical bills and not revolving credit accounts. In addition XXXX XXXX has an account listed without a date or amount owed, I find this questionable and am concerned about fair credit reporting practices this company conducts. They have made multiple inaccuracies on my credit report, causing my report to contain XXXX inaccurate information on my accounts. In addition, I would ask for CFPB conduct an investigation into the practices of this company and also remove the several innacuracies XXXX XXXX has reported on my credit reports. Please have this company also verify the original debt, because I do not feel they have this information in their possession making the debt removal necessary also. The fact remains this company is not following legal practices for credit reporting and should be audited for other consumers they may have affected. Sincerely, XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX Please feel free to contact me regarding the investigation at either email, XXXXXXXXXXXX, XXXXXXXXXXXX

Not letting me link account to XXXX  appp
Complaint sub-issue: Privacy issues

I opened an account with Discover within the last couple of weeks, but had issues using it online the entire time. I was able to make a small purchase online, but then when I was trying to make larger purchases  off XXXX and XXXX, both kept getting declined over and over despite my high credit limit and the purchases being nowhere near close to that limit. I called Discover on XX/XX/XXXX at XXXX XXXX to check and see what the issue was. I was told there was no issue with the card at all and it must be on the merchant end.

The morning of XX/XX/XXXX, I tried the same purchase again. This time, Discover set off NUMEROUS fraud alerts and began blowing up my email, texts, and my phone. One of the emails sent said that this was a fraud concern, but if I had already dealt with the issue, to disregard the message. Since I had literally spoken with them 14 hours before and I was currently at work in the middle of things, I assumed I did not need to call immediately. However, within the hour, I received a text message from my ex-husband saying Discover had called him looking for me. He has NEVER been on the account or associated with the account in any way
and Discover would NEVER have been given permission to contact him on my behalf under ANY circumstances. This was NOT a matter of me having defaulted on my bill for a year or something similar, which would be understandable. Rather, this was a matter I had ALREADY TRIED TO ADDRESS less than 24 hours prior and there was NO reason he should have ever been contacted about my account. When I contacted Discover, they said that they had found the number on my credit bureau report as a number I had been associated with historically. This number was NOT given to Discover by me in association with the
account at any point in time, and again, my ex-husband has NEVER had permission to have any sort of information given to him. Following this huge breach of privacy, I closed my discover account on XX/XX/XXXX.
Complaint sub-issue: Didn't receive enough information to verify debt

This debt was reported as a collection on my credit report. I disputed it because I have no knowledge of it. The leasing company called Acima XXXX FKA simple claims that it is legit but i did not lease anything from them. I was never notified of such debt. I want to be cleared of it.
Complaint sub-issue: Not given enough info to verify debt

Debt was paid however it was never removed as agreed, account is still showing it 's in the collections process. Even after validation of debt was never received. I 've requested the information before. I would like a signed contract, showing proof of original date of service, date of delinquency and service address not an account statement. A statement does not prove who opened the account. Account seems to keep re reporting and being re aged instead of having been removed for several violations. Company stated prior that debt does not have to be validated.
Complaint sub-issue: Card opened as result of identity theft or fraud

Upon checking my Credit reports, it was found that a Discover card was opened in my name. I have filed an identity theft report with the FTC as well contacted the attorney generals office in Louisiana and the XXXX Police Department. I notified Discover of this fraudulent account and they still insist that this account is mine. At the time of account opening, I resided in a foreign country and at no point did open this account. Discover refuses to accept the prima facie facts of this fraud.
Complaint sub-issue: Public record information inaccurate

I am disturbed that you continue to list the dismissed bankruptcy as confirmed. 

Although it is your policy to keep reporting bankruptcies which are filed or adjusted for 10 years, the Fair Credit Reporting Act mentions nothing in Section 1681c relating to Bankruptcy about dismissals or filings.

The law states from date of adjudication or date of order for relief. Any case, civil or otherwise, that has been dismissed no longer exists in the eyes of the law and a case filed may never have actually been adjudicated. Therefore, you have no right to maintain information which the government has deemed nonexistent.
