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

Equifax currently has a freeze on my credit report. They claim that this was fixed, but as recently as today, XXXX bank has reported a freeze on my report and are unable to access my credit information. I have been trying to correct this for over a year with Equifax. They have asked for copies of my birth certificate, passport, driver 's license and a letter of explanation which was sent to them in XX/XX/XXXX and again XX/XX/XXXX. I called them today, and they claim there is no problem with my account. They refuse to escalate the problem to a manager. On several occasions they simply hang up the phone. I have been told to seek legal advice. Before I do that, I am writing to you, per my Bank 's recommendation, Please let me know if there is anything I can do in addition to resolve my problem.

None of the accounts that were opened with those companies in my name belong to me. I do not have any written/verbal contract with those companies nor did I allow anyone to open those accounts on my behalf. I did not benefit anything from those accounts such as money, goods, services or any other benefit nor did I contribute to any payments that might have been made towards those accounts.

DEFINITION of Zombie Debt : I had internet service with XXXX and moved, I brought my equipment and closed the account ( XX/XX/XXXX ) and opened new account ( XX/XX/XXXX ) with XXXX at the new address, which I kept for 13 months ( XX/XX/XXXX ). The manager ensured that the account was Closed, and I never received any information that the old account was not properly closed in the XXXX system. The service at New Address was never interrupted for any reason ( such as Non-Payment ). I ended that contract ( with XXXX ) after 13 months and moved to another service ( XXXX XXXX XXXX ). 

In XX/XX/XXXX I received a letter from XXXX XXXX that I owed {$210.00} and it was reported to all ( 3 ) Credit Agencies. I hired a Lawyer and sent a letter Disputing the Validity of this Debt. It was Removed from ( 3 ) Credit Agencies shortly thereafter.

My attorney actually recommended that I pay a debt that I don't owe, but agreed that it might not be removed from my Credit Report.
Complaint sub-issue: Used obscene, profane, or other abusive language

I am submitting this formal complaint to report the very, very, very abusive tactics of Hunter Warfield Inc. 

I was shocked when I called to inquirie about a debt of {$230.00}. 

I also clearly verified myself and stated clearly " I AM CALLING TO REQUEST SOME TYPE OF FAIR SETTLEMENT TO PAY THIS OFF AND CLOSE THIS OUT COMPLETELY ''. Apparently, I was billed for a little over {$120.00} that I was completely unaware of and this company has added exhorbent, unreasonable fees. 

I simply asked them to make a FAIR ADJUSTMENT so that I can pay this fair amount off. 

I am shocked that I was met with being BULLIED, LIED TO, HUMILIATED, PASSED TO ANOTHER AGENT WHEN I ASKED FOR A MANAGER. 

XXXX XXXX AND XXXX XXXX XXXX alias if not real names made every effort to Badger, Belittle, Provoke me, Disrespect me, Misrepresent the simple facts of payoff request discussion. Worse of all they continued to demand the address of the Safe house or Women 's shelter that had to assist my leaving a dangerous, life threatening situation. 
I offered my police report, crime victims address- but they kept badgering and so disrespect me. I was shaken over a simple matter and simple request for fair final payment request. I even asked over and over what amount might I pay to FULLY RESOLVE this and XXXX it. ( I only owed one other creditor. I called them-they faxed settlement letter, I paid full amount as agreed ) ; but, Hunter Warfield agents are dogmatic, ABUSIVE, demeaning and disrespectful while I WAS TRYING TO PAY A FULL FAIR SETTLEMENT TO XXXX THIS.
Complaint sub-issue: Was not notified of investigation status or results

My rights as a consumer has been violated multiple times over and over and over again by these credit bureaus and corporations. They violated my right under the FDCPA, FCRA and Truth In Lending. Failure to investigate these items within 30 days gives a reason to immediately remove the items I pointed out in my letters that I sent over 30 days ago. Every account I disputed should be deleted if the instructions says to delete them and all late payments should be reflecting " paid on time '' per instructions. I demand everything I stated in my letter to be handled appropriately per instructions or I will file for litigation due to the continuing stress your causing me. My information also was also impacted by the Equifax data breach. please. Please apply these laws to my accounts : The Fair Debt Collection Practices Act Law 111-203, title X, 124 Stat. 2092 ( 2010 ) FairCredit Reporting Act ( FCRA ) 15 U.S.C. 1681 ( FCRA ) I also stated each law you violated on my consumer report inside my letters also.

Complaint sub-issue: Debt was result of identity theft

My wallet was stolen around the same time this account was open. I have 2 collections in result of this.
Complaint sub-issue: Their investigation did not fix an error on your report

I took out an education loan back in XX/XX/XXXX which was serviced by XXXX. Over the years, I have had my own personal hardships and was unable to make payments on this loan. There were originally two loans. One of the loans has been deleted for incorrect reportings. The original loan was {$15000.00}. 
After reviewing my credit report I found that the current XXXX was incorrect in numerous ways : 1.  The amount financed is incorrect. They have it as {$16000.00}. It was supposed to be {$15000.00}. 
2. The past due amount is {$45000.00} which is incorrect because it is almost triple the amount financed. This is a violation of my rights. Collection fees can not be more than the amount originally financed. 
3. The past due amount should have been {$33000.00} Not the amount reported. 
4. They have positive payments from XX/XX/XXXX to XX/XX/XXXX. This is incorrect. I requested to have it deleted due to the 7 years being expired and they falsely reported payments in order to restart the time clock. 
I asked XXXX for a transcript of all the findings listed and they were unable to provide them to me. Therefore I reached out to the credit bureau and asked them to investigate and each time they returned the account as being validated, but still never showed me documentation of this accuracy. 
Over the last year, I have opened up several disputes and even called them to speak to them about this. Again, they simply said it was investigated. I have never made any payments on this account since it started in XX/XX/XXXX. 

In XX/XX/XXXX I made two payments for the amount of {$25.00} on the other XXXX account that has since been deleted. What XXXX did was take those payments and apply {$9.00} to the current one in order to keep it running. This is a clear violation of my rights. Again, I asked both XXXX and the credit bureau to send me documentation and it was not done. Each time I contacted XXXX they simply say that they will send it and then they dont. In regards to the credit bureau they simply say the investigation is completed. 
XXXX : XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX, XXXX XXXX, XXXX, DE XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX, XXXX XXXX, PA XXXX Phone : XXXX Amount reported : {$45000.00}, {$45000.00} also said a portion was charged off.

Complaint sub-issue: Problem with statement of dispute

I previously disputed santander credit reporting with Equifax and received verification results that the account was verified as mine. It stated in the response that historical account information was deleted however it was never done. I was never 90 days late and that invalid derogatory information is harming my credit integrity. After I was notified of the removal of the historical account information it wss continuously reported on my credit as 90 days and I was never 90 days late. Now this account shows 14 90 day lates and I need ever had 1 reporting after the repossession all the way until I paid the account of in XXXX 2016. XXXX repossessed the vehicle at 85 days so that was n't ever 90 days. This invaild reporting is harmful and causes me to be denied for credit and to be given unfair interest rates due to the excessive late payment history.
Complaint sub-issue: Account information incorrect

I had sent letters to Equifax, XXXX, and XXXX in regards of my credit reporting. According to 15 U.S.C. 1681 ] ( a ) Accuracy and fairness of credit reporting. The Congress makes the following findings : ( 1 ) The banking system is dependent upon fair and accurate credit reporting. Inaccurate credit reports directly impair the efficiency of the banking system, and unfair credit reporting methods undermine the public confidence which is essential to the continued functioning of the banking system.

As you can see on the letters, the credit bureaus are violating my rights by reporting inaccurate information. I have not received any letters stating how those so called debts have been validated. They are violating my rights of 15 U.S. Code 1692g, to verify those debts and show me proof. 

They are reporting inaccurate and misleading information and it is hurting me, my consumer laws are being violated and I have addressed them about and they have done nothing to remove those accounts because they are violating my rights.There 's so many inaccuracies showing on the account.
