Complaint sub-issue: Information belongs to someone else

I am writing to notify you of the violation of my rights under Federal law. Understand that if these accounts are not removed from my report immediately, I will take legal action against you as my right under federal law. 
Under 15 USC 1681 ( a ) congress defines a consumer report as the term consumer report means any written, oral, or other communication of any information by a consumer reporting agency bearing on a consumers credit worthiness, credit standing, credit capacity, character, general reputation, personal characteristics, or mode of living which is used or expected to be used or collected in whole or in part for the purpose of serving as a factor in establishing the consumers eligibility for ..... 
Understand that by this law, XXXX is included because you provide this consumer report and you are a consumer reporting agency! Under 15 USC 1681 ( 2 ), it also mentions exclusions pertaining to consumer reporting. I am quoting directly from congress so understand that your reporting is a federal violation based on laws put in place by congress. 
15 USC 1681 ( 2 ) i excludes the reporting of report containing information solely as to transactions or experiences between the consumer and the person making the report. 
The term person means any individual, partnership, corporation, trust, estate, cooperative, association, government or governmental subdivision or agency, or other entity. 
All of the companies listed below are CORPORATIONS as defined by congress as a person Therefore the transactions between the consumer ( me ) and these corporations should not be on my consumer report under FEDERAL LAW! You are in direct breach of the federal laws put in place to protect the consumer. 
I will not be violated any longer and will seek legal action and monetary compensation for the adverse actions taken against me if these accounts are REMOVED IMMEDIATELY.
Complaint sub-issue: Their investigation did not fix an error on your report

On XXXX at XXXX XXXX Equifax received a dispute on my behalf in regards to several accounts reporting on my credit file that was established due to identity fraud. The tracking number of the certified receipt is ( XXXX ). I was sure to also include a copy of my driver 's license, social security number, and date of birth with my dispute. Despite my efforts and I have yet to receive any correspondence regarding my dispute initiated with Equifax. On XXXX at XXXX XXXX, another dispute letter was received by Equifax on my behalf regarding the same accounts that were established due to identity fraud that are currently reporting on my Equifax credit report. Along with those letters I also included a copy of my driver 's license, date of birth, and social security number as well. Equifax recently sent my letter stating they were unable to locate a credit file with the information that was provided. The letter states that I need to provide my name, current address, date of birth, and social security number. I find this totally unacceptable since I already provided that same information on both dispute letters that I sent. In addition, Equifax is in violation of the Fair Credit Reporting by failing to respond to my initial dispute within the 30-45 days  allotted.

Send in a Dispute for written contract and they said it was verified but it was deleted on XXXX that makes no sense to me and I told them and there playing games
Complaint sub-issue: Account status incorrect

I ask that a human review my file. The credit bureau is reporting incorrect information. In the system you are showing that I financed a vehicle from XXXX XXXX for {$17000.00}. This information is incorrect. The total amount including the vehicle and finances charges is {$32000.00}. The original company reporting this XXXX XXXX is breaking the law. The credit bureau was notified in XXXX that the data in this file was not accurate. 

XXXX XXXX in an effort to keep me from refinancing with another lender has been reporting payments made but the balance has not gone down only up. Also, this vehicle was taken in and sold in a bankruptcy in XXXX of XXXX. The balance the company is showing is not correct. Attached is a copy of the original contract showing the correct amount.
Complaint sub-issue: Debt is not yours

Something called IC Systems reported to my XXXX  report on XX/XX/18 that I owe {$260.00} for something called XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX. I looked them up because I have never heard of them. It appears they are a cable tv system or such. I have never had cable tv in my life. Dont have a need for it so I have never purchased it. Furthermore, I asked them to provide me with MY identification used to open the account and they are unable to do so. It is NOT mine and MY identification was NOT used to create this account. Therefore, I want this account removed because it is NOT mine and they dont have any identifying proof of my identity showing that it is.
Complaint sub-issue: Need information about your loan balance or loan terms

I have been making payments on these loans since ive been XXXX XXXX. I entered military service XX/XX/XXXX. I was uninformed about scra right until about XX/XX/XXXX. I  called the company, they dropped my rate and back paid for interest to my principal. My loan was sold from XXXX to XXXX XXXX. Now, my rate is back to the max of 6 % ( per SCRA guidelines ) from the 3.2 % it was before. And to add insult to injury. I have paid {$11000.00} on the loan as of this writing. {$6100.00} to principal and {$5200.00} on interest. My outstanding balance on a {$15000.00} loan disbursed in XX/XX/XXXX on a 10 year loan is {$10000.00}. Nothing adds up.
Complaint sub-issue: Charged too much interest

Took loan on my credit card for a fixed interest rate which has been applied for fixed monthly payments. However, every month, additional interest rate is being added. After having called customer service multiple times, the fees have been waived and the agent mentioned that those charges were incorrect and will be fixed so I won't be charged going forward. But, the charges seem to be added again in the following months.

Complaint sub-issue: Debt is not yours

I have no knowledge of this company or alleged debt. I have disputed this debt with the credit bureaus and it came back verified i have since then contacted the company and haven't received a response. Where are the documents that your company used to verify that you are reporting these accounts accurately? What is the name of the person in your company who verified the accuracy of this account? What documents did they use to verify them? Please provide me with the name of that individual, their company title, and telephone number as well as copies of the documents that they used to verify that this disputed item are being reported accurately. Please be further advised, I dispute the validity of the alleged debt in its entirety. Further I request verification of the alleged debt, including, the name and address of the original creditor, along with a copy of a signed contract with the creditor. You are illegally attempting to collect an alleged debt and money that I do not owe. As per the law, cease and desist all collection activity, including credit reporting.
Complaint sub-issue: Their investigation did not fix an error on your report

Equifax, XXXX and XXXX are reporting a debt owed to the collection agency XXXXXXXX for {$6100.00}. However, this debt is invalid and actually isn't owed. This was a debt concerning an apartment complex ( XXXX XXXX, the original creditor ). They filed a suit against me for eviction from the property and monetary damages. However, during my tenancy I experienced several issues where the landlord broke many terms of their own lease ( such as unlawful lockouts, and walking into my home unannounced ). I then hired a lawyer as well to counter sue XXXX XXXX in court. Because of the amount of evidence and a likelihood of successfully counter suing, XXXX XXXX and their attorney decided to settle outside of court before the set court date. The terms were for me to return possession of the property in return for them dropping their pursuit of an eviction and any monetary damages they were originally taking me to court for. I returned possession as promise in XX/XX/2014, however XXXX XXXX is still claiming I owe a balance that was then sent to XXXX collection agency. I have correspondence from XXXX XXXX attorney as well as mine proving they entered a non-suit and voluntary dismissal of their suit for money/possession. They did do so with prejudice, meaning they could decide to later bring a lawsuit against me back up but the issue is that they have not done so. After reaching out to the XXXX county courts they have also informed me that I still have a {$0.00} balance in their system, meaning XXXX XXXX never legally sought damages from me after we settled. Therefore legally we are still on terms of the voluntary dismissal and non-suit if damages. Therefore this debt needs to stop reporting on my credit immediately! It is affecting my living situation. Even the amount they are reporting that I owe is incorrect anyways. However, they filed a non-suit but turned around and still charged me for the same monetary damages they claimed we were settling to drop. This invalid debt that I dont owe should be removed immediately and cease reporting!
Complaint sub-issue: Credit inquiries on your report that you don't recognize

I have attached an FTC report with an account that is not mine and is an Authorized user and I am not responsible for this account and want it deleted along with the inquiries I did not authorize
Complaint sub-issue: Didn't receive enough information to verify debt

National Recovery, the individuals allegedly persuing a debt of a XXXX XXXX bill, reported said debt to my credit report with no prior written notice of such claim, no account number associated with said amount due and no chance to pay debt, before they reported alleged debt to my credit. I deserve to have knowledge of said debt and a chance to reconcile such debt, before it impacts my credit score thereof. For such wrongful demeanor and unrelentness false reporting, I request the inquiry be removed. So, I have a chance to dispute such claim ( s ), before the claim has an impact on my CREDIT score, which National Recovery did not give me an option nor a written bill or any validation of said bill even existing prior to the reporting of alleged amount owed to the credit bureaus. 

Sincerely, XXXX XXXX ( Business Owner/Entrepreneur )

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

I sent a FTC Identity Theft Report to Equifax to dispute inquiries. On XX/XX/2021 I received a letter that I will attach to this complaint informing all the inquiries that have been removed from my credit report. I checked my report right away after receiving the letter and discovered that many of the inquiries and items that the letter says that was removed still on my credit report. 
When I called Equifax about the issue they said that I have to send the documents again to start the dispute process one more time. 
This is unacceptable and against the law.
