On XX/XX/2022 I submitted a complaint with the CFPB ( case # XXXX ). In this complaint I noted that an account being reported was incorrect and it needed to be investigated and deleted due to incorrect information being reported. On XX/XX/2022, Equifax responded to my complaint stating that I would receive information from them after they received it from the furnisher regarding this account. To date, I have not received any information or communication regarding the status of this account or any information proving that this account belongs to me.
Complaint sub-issue: Confusing or misleading advertising about the credit card

On XX/XX/23 I applied for the Citi/AAdvantage Platinum Select card directly from the XXXXXXXX XXXX website . I was in the process of purchasing flights and it showed that I could pay today and get a statement credit if I purchased the flights with the card when I was in the checkout window. I applied for the card directly from the checkout page where the message was located and received a message that it was pending review. I called XXXX XXXX to ask about purchasing the flights with the card that day because I wanted to purchase them right away and they said I would have to wait until I received the physical card in the mail to purchase the flights. I felt this was deceptive because I would not have applied for the card that day unless I was receiving flight credit for the flights I was purchasing. Also, when I received the card, there was no information about how to earn the XXXX reward miles or the {$250.00} statement credit that was advertised in the material that was sent to me with the card. I did locate a not-so-easy-to-find link when I created an account online for the card about getting the miles ( it showed how much money I have to spend to earn the miles when I clicked on it but I would not have gotten this information if I had not signed up for their online account services ) and I have yet to find any info about the {$250.00} flight credit, so Im not even sure if they will honor that if I purchase another flight. I have signed up for other airline credit cards before and received everything in writing in the packet I received in the mail with the card so I knew what the promotions were and had it in writing.

Complaint sub-issue: Problem with statement of dispute

Enclosed are copies of reports on disputes from Equifax. These XXXX disputes were created in the mind, ( or lack thereof ), Equifax. Equifax has now taken upon themselves to create disputes out of thin air. 

I have NEVER disputed : My address ( I know where I live and, this is XXXX of the few things Equifax has right ). 
OR : XXXX XXXX XXXX. Here again Equifax created, by themselves, another dispute. I mean now really, think about this. This account was closed the same day it was opened and NEVER had a balance, Why would I dispute that?
Complaint sub-issue: Account information incorrect

Hello, This complaint is regarding XXXX XXXX XXXX and their Class Action Settlement for Predatory Lending with Multiple States last year in XXXX. Within this settlement, it states that XXXX agreed to relieve loans and help repair the credit of individuals affected by their predatory lending practices. This was for auto loans placed between XX/XX/XXXX through XX/XX/XXXX. 

This auto loan has caused significant damage to my life, living situation and being able to take care of my children. Although I've received communication from XXXX that I am included in the settlement, XXXX continues to report harmful inaccuracies to my Equifax and XXXX  credit reports. XXXX still calls to collect on the debt that they report as charged off and late every month. 

XXXX took advantage of my desperation and ignored the debt to income ratio locking me in an upside down loan from the start. I'm suspicious that the dealer may have potentially manipulated my application unknown to me. Putting me in this horrible situation. Now this has been 4 years of not being able to get credit, a home or progress so my children can have a better life. I am in college and working towards a better life and this is severly affecting my small family. 

Equifax and XXXX are both reporting completey different things for the XXXX XXXX account. It's harmful and defamatory to my credit profile. I have reached out to XXXX several times with no resolution from them. They report different names for original creditor, dates and most of the information. They report that the account is charged off and report late payments every month. Life is HARD when you can't get basic credit. 

The only fair resolution is for XXXX do what they agreed which is to relive the loan and the XXXX XXXX account be deleted from all the credit agencies and bureaus. I also ask that all collection efforts cease and this account not be sold or transferred to any other collection agencies or debt buyers. 

Thank you in advance for your timely assistance in this matter.
Complaint sub-issue: Threatened or suggested your credit would be damaged

I recently pulled all three of my credit reports, XXXX XXXX and XXXX. After reviewing them I noticed a collection account in the amount of {$570.00}. I am not sure how this has come about. The company listed name is Jefferson capital. I have never had any business dealings with this company whatsoever. I have also disputed this account several times and continued to get automated email responses stating that the account is accurate and will continue to report as such. I have requested for the company to send real verified documentation showing that I am responsible for the bill, but they have yet to do so. I am working full time and I am also in the process of trying to purchase a new car but my credit score has been severely impacted in a negative way due to the inaccurate collection that is listed on my report. Please remove this negative item from my report.
