I am concerned about the validity and accuracy of the recent investigation done by the credit bureaus..I requested for an investigation because the student loan XXXX XXXX has nothing to do with me.

The error has affected my credit score tremendously. CFPB please step up and delete this ASAP please Im looking to purchase a home.
Complaint sub-issue: Account status incorrect

I am XXXX XXXX XXXX and I am submitting this complaint myself and there is no third party involved. Upon reviewing my updates, incorrect information was found still in my reports. The Equifax Credit Bureau has not complied with the Fair Credit Reporting Act, 15USC Sections 1681i, and continued reporting as unverified information without any proof provided, within the time allowed by law, is not authorized. Below is the account that is still reporting on my Credit Reports and need to be deleted completely from my Credit Report : XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXXXXXX Balance {$250.00}

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

The company XXXX XXXX is listed on all 3 of my credit reports as paid after charge off. In XXXX I contacted XXXX regarding inaccurate very high charges one month, in XX/XX/XXXX. XXXX was to send out a meter technician to test our meter. This never happened. I disputed the charges and closed the account. Still no contact back from XXXX. I paid the account in full in XX/XX/XXXX and was ASSURED by XXXX this was to be removed from all reports. Each time I submit a dispute to XXXX, XXXX XXXX and equfax the results come back as verified?? I repeatedly request supporting documents and to no avail receive any back up supporting their reporting. I have clean reports with this exception and have proven good credit history. I want this item from XXXX XXXX removed from all 3 reports. Again, I have requested additional supporting documents and constantly ignored from all 3 agencies and the merchant. Thank you very much.

The above noted agencies are additionally reporting multiple inquiries negatively impacting my credit from third-party entities of which I gave no written notice or authority to request or utilize my credit. There are approximately 10 inquires on each report totaling 30.

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

XXXX continues to report a fraudulently opened credit card on my credit report, regardless of me telling them verbally and also in written letters multiple times that the account does not belong to me. They sent me a letter earlier today stating that they " believe '' the account belongs to me and is reporting correctly on my report. They have consistently cited that payments were made by " me '' on the account from a bank account, however, this alleged bank account does not belong to me at all. I've told them to provide me proof that this bank account is mine to from which these payments were made. They believe this is my account solely based on the fact that payments were made and questioned me as to why this happened. I am unable to know what is on the mind of a criminal and why they did whatever they did but that does not obligate me to this debt, it is in fact fraud. Instead of investigating this comprehensively they continue to defame my character by continuing to report this and refusing to remove this account from my credit report. The latest dispute only taking two days for them to verify. How can someone do a thorough investigation after only two days. I also blame the bureaus for allowing this to continue the way it has. After my recent dispute Equifax dropped my XXXX score 51 points for no other apparent reason other than them putting a remark on the XXXX account that it was being disputed again. This seems to be a decision that was made in retaliation for me continuing to dispute this account. 
After multiple months of fighting with them I am forced to file a complaint due their negligence in validating this account accurately. This defamation has caused me to not be approved for credit cards and is currently stopping me from applying for a mortgage this needs to be removed immediately. I have also filed a identity theft report with the FTC.

Im invoking Consumer protection laws for : XXXX XXXX SSN # XXXX I humbly DEMAND that ALL AGENCIES aforementioned REMOVE all info pertaining to ALL ACCOUNTS connected to the " Authorized Agents Birth rights and Social Security number assigned to him listed above.

Complaint sub-issue: Information is missing that should be on the report

Had XXXX XXXX XXXX sell my loan to seline finance in 2014 after reviving a payment from me that was to be applied to my pay due account. I had late fees with XXXX  but made plans to repay as I stayed correct. They Sikhs the loan to XXXX, with my catch up payment used on ALL late fees which made me a month behind after the sale to XXXX. I contacted them regarding this matter and tho make a long story short, I inquired on things like forbearance or any other way to assist me. They replied they don't did such things and offered no solution but to pay. At the same time, I was reviving a discharge of a chapter XXXX bankruptcy, which was XXXX XX/XX/2014. 
Since XX/XX/2014, even though I'm paying my mortgage monthly, it's not showing on my credit report as not owing a mortgage. This is hampering me on fair credit reporting. 
How can I get this matter taken care of? 

Respectfully submitted, XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX
Complaint sub-issue: Information belongs to someone else

I applied for a XXXX XXXX XXXX credit card and I was not approved and today XX/XX/20 I got a letter in the mail saying that the reason why I was not approved was that there were several accounts in negative standing appearing on my credit. I thought it was a mistake since I do not have any accounts in negative standing but I got a free copy of my credit reports and I saw 6 collection accounts that are not mine. I had no idea that these accounts were on my credit because I didn't open them nor do I have any written/verbal contact with any of these companies. I don't know who these accounts belong to or how they got on my credit history ; I did not benefit anything from any of these accounts nor did I contribute to any payments made to any of these accounts. I have filed a police report because regarding these accounts that were opened in my name without my authorization.

Account XXXX from the XXXX XXXX. XXXX XXXX is reporting inaccurately on my consumer credit file.

Please take the necessary measures and properly investigate the inaccurate account.
Complaint sub-issue: Account status

My complaint is with Equifax credit reporting agency. I have repeatedly filed several disputes with them in regards to incorrect information reported by a mortgage company, XXXX XXXX, that comes back with the same or very minor information changed. I have asked them to verify and prove all information which would prove inaccuracys yet they continue to end dispute with no proper results made. I have done this particular dispute at the very least 10 times! This is why I am filing this complaint. I also will be filing a complaint againt XXXX XXXX. 
Thank you, I hope that you can help me. 
The issue is that I had XXXX mortgage with XXXX XXXX which was part of a chapter XXXX bankrupcy. XXXX XXXX has XXXX separate mortgage account numbers listed on my credit report. XXXX states a {$0.00} balance and that it was included and discharged in my bankrupcy which is accurate. Then they have a separate account that has a different account number but it is the same mortgage. They list the date the account was open by a few days different than the other. They have done this with all the dated information to have it appear as though it is a separate mortgage account. It is not! I only had XXXX mortgage at that time with XXXX XXXX. One of the excuses they give is that they say the mortgage listed in question was sold prior to the discharge in XX/XX/XXXX therefor they say they are allowed to report it. This is not true. Even if I did have another account anything prior to my chapter XXXX discharge in XXXX, would be part of my public record. XXXX XXXX continues to report on this account as recently as XXXX XXXX stating I am 120 days past due. I have explained this to XXXX several times and have pointed out the obvious discrepancies with this account from the date open, date closed, first delinquency, etc ... yet Equifax still allows XXXX to report this bogus information. The particular account in question even has a payment grid along with it that does n't even match up to the dates they have listed on this account. It is obvious harassment and I am so frustrated and upset that what appears to be an obvious and easy fix is continuing to still haunt me. XXXX XXXX is in complete violation with my FCRA by reporting on an account that was discharged in XX/XX/XXXX. 
I hope you can help me with Equifax to resolve this matter. I pay $ XXXX/mo for the services I have with Equifax yet they have done nothing to resolve this blatant error. 

Sincerely, XXXX XXXX XXXX
Complaint sub-issue: Account status incorrect

XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX reports an open tradeline with payments iao {$1300.00} and balance {$170000.00}. I am joint on the promissory note for this loan and quit claimed my interest to the co-applicant. I also included the promissory note in a chapter 7 filing that has discharged since  XX/XX/2015 ( case XXXX ). I understand that divorce decrees do not supercede the actual debt, however the debt was fully discharged in the Chapter 7 and therefore this should be credit suppressed and all delinquencies reported since the discharge should be deleted and the balance should reflect {$0.00} discharged in the chapter 7.

Enclosed are copies of previous disputes and other documentation supporting my position. Please reinvestigate this matter and delete the disputed item as soon as possible.
Complaint sub-issue: Transaction was not authorized

Some used my debit card number at XXXX XXXX several times I contacted PNC bank and told them what happened I was issued a new card and they reversed the charges totaling {$130.00}. I was contacted by PNC via mail telling me that their investigation was completed and that they are going to debit my account {$130.00} in which I'm responsible for paying. I don't understand why I have to pay for these charges that was never authorized by me in the first place. I did not authorized charges totaling {$130.00} to my card this is ridiculous. PNC did not protect me instead I'm being penalized for something I did not authorized I am highly insulted.
Complaint sub-issue: Other problem getting your report or credit score

I am unable to obtain credit report, credit score through Equifax. Also unable to freeze my credit file as a result. I call customer service daily and transferred from one group to another. Each group says the other group will fix. I am caught in a constant loop of no action. Today I spent 2 hours and 45 minutes on the phone with Equifax. I get a " tech support '' confirmation number and start the wait all over again. No one at Equifax can tell me what is actually wrong with my credit file other than there is a " discrepancy '' in my information @ Equifax, however, the representative can not tell me what the discrepancy is. I confirm all of my information by phone and the rep says it matches - yet still can not obtain a copy of my Equifax credit file. No one within Equifax can explain why I am unable to obtain a copy of my report, score, etc. I am unable to file a dispute on my report for the same reason. I can not obtain a free copy. I have attempted to pay for the report and it will not process. Photos I have attached to this complaint are examples of the ongoing issue like today 's 2 hour and 41 minute call. The emails received from my credit card company reflecting the charge for a product and the Equifax email stating failure to process ( which is an internal Equifax issue, not a credit card payment issue ). A photo of my email inbox for today with all of the Equifax orders the representative attempted to process while we were on the phone, to no avail. And have included a photo of the error received when trying to file a dispute.
