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

I am writing again in great concern of Equifax allowing a company, named XXXX XXXX XXXX, which I have investigated, that is located in XXXX, WI, to put a {$150.00} debt on my credit report. I have never had any relationship, dealings, nor had any business provided by, nor with this company, ever. This company is listed as a family business/collection agency in XXXX, WI -a place where I have never resided, nor done any business and yet, Equifax has allowed this debt to remain on my credit report. This company has no proof of dealings with me, or of providing me any services and yet, Equifax sustains the {$150.00} on my credit report. 

I wrote in concern back on XXXX XXXX, XXXX to the CFPB, explaining that this debt was on my credit report under Equifax and that it did not belong to me. The CFPB allowed them an additional 30 days to get the proof. Still, to this date, I have not received the proof from Equifax. They sent me a note through the CFPB portal with a note stating that the reinvestigation proof of the debt was sent to me on XXXX/XXXX/XXXX and that they mailed it to me on XXXX/XXXX/XXXX. Still to date, I have not received anything from Equifax. And to receive anything after XXXX/XXXX/XXXX, after receiving an additional 30 day extension by the CFPB, would be considered late. XXXX and XXXX had deleted the this off my report due to no findings of this debt belonging to me, nor of the company proving they ever had any dealings with me. I am not sure what proof that Equifax is stating that they have from the company when I have never dealt with them before, nor have had any dealings with them. 

I would like for this debt to be deleted from my Equifax credit report, especially being that it does not belong to me and because Equifax has not proven that I owe this debt to the company named XXXX XXXX XXXX, located in XXXX, WI. Additionally, Equifax was not responsive in proving and supplying the proof to me within the 60 days given by CFPB. This is the only negative activity on my credit report and I am kindly requesting that the CFPB have Equifax remove it immediately, without further delay. I am very unsatisfied with what was suppose to be an investigation -which they called a reinvestigation. Equifax had not investigated this case until the CFPB became involved and I still do n't believe they have done so because I never received any proof from them, although they stated on the CFPB portal that proof was sent to me. Again, I have not had any dealings nor business with this company, which would prove that I owe them {$150.00}, therefore, I am requesting that Equifax remove the debt, immediately, without further delay. 

Thank you so much CFPB and I look forward to hearing back from you!
Complaint sub-issue: Debt is not yours

I did not have a signed contract or any contract with Enhanced Recovery Company , LLC. I have never done business with this company. I am not responsible for this debt from Enhanced a Recovery Company, LLC.
Complaint sub-issue: Investigation took more than 30 days

I initially contacted XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX on XX/XX/XXXX in order to get this debt they are claiming I owed, validated. XXXX XXXX sent me back a letter simply stating that " the debt had been validated '' however none of the previously requested information was sent to me, copies of original bills/statements, payment history and reporting dates, method of verification, bonding agent info, and no wet ink signature from their company 's representative. Additionally the statement they sent me to " validate '' the debt had specific, detailed medical procedures which is obviously against the law and not in accordance with HIPAA privacy laws. On XX/XX/XXXX, I requested that they send me the original detailed bill from the creditor, signed HIPAA notices, contract between Regional recovery and the creditor, and anything that I signed releasing my medical information to them- to which they have still not complied.
Complaint sub-issue: Threatened or suggested your credit would be damaged

On XXXX XXXX I received a response from pro collect that they would settle for XXXX instead of XXXX. Which I was thankful for that. But I called and reached out to XXXX XXXX as it stated to in the response, reaching her was difficult I called on multiple days and none of the representative would transfer me to her.. so I submitted a complaint on here again and left a number and XXXX XXXX called and we talked bout resolving the balance. I told her that I couldnt pay the balance of XXXX in full because I was out of work due to covid 19 and she gave me until XXXX to email her on what I could do regarding balance. I emailed her letting her know I still wouldnt be able to pay balance in full. I never received a reply back to the email nor a call. I have been calling still trying to resolve the matter and nothing. On XX/XX/XXXX I received a letter in the mail stating that I could call and make a pay arrangement. So I called today on XXXX XXXX and was told I couldnt make a payment arrangement and that they will continue to affect my credit report negatively. That a payment is required by XXXX or negative remarks will be added to my credit report.. I have tried over the years to settle this debt and with no resolution. Just rude representative and no compassion or understanding.
Complaint sub-issue: Account status incorrect

The credit bureau is not supposed to be reporting an  XXXX   XXXX  account on my credit report. The account number is "  XXXX  ''. They told me they would send a request to the  XXXX  credit reporting agencies to have this account removed from my record completely. I was also sent a letter back in  XXXX  directly from  XXXX   XXXX  confirming that they had already sent the request for deletion. I am including a copy of this letter from  XXXX  along with this complaint. I just had my credit pulled and I was turned down because the credit bureau is still reporting this account on my credit? Why has this not been removed from my report as promised?
Complaint sub-issue: Didn't receive enough information to verify debt

As indicated by the attached copies of letters and mailing receipts, you have been delivered by registered mail both a dispute letter, dated XXXX, as well as a follow-up letter, dated XXXX. As of this moment, Equifax or XXXX XXXX have not done their duty mandated under the law. Their inaction in this matter is inexcusable, and disregard for the law is contemptible. Rest assured, I will hold them accountable. As you are well aware, federal law requires you to respond within 30 days, yet they have failed to respond. Failure to comply with these federal regulations by credit reporting agencies are investigated by the Federal Trade Commission I can show a judge that these accounts are inaccurate and that they have violated the Fair Credit Reporting Act by ignoring my requests to investigate the items. My previous letters ( all sent by certified mail ) stated my reasons for an investigation and my letters have went unanswered.

Request for removal of unauthorized fraudulent inquires on my credit report : XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX  These fraudulent inquiries were made without authorization, and without legitimate purpose. Please remove these unconfirmed inquiries lacking certifiable evidence physically certified and verified proof is demonstrated and provided per U.S. Code 15 U.S.C. 1681 Section 604 of The Fair Credit Reporting Act. 

I have contacted the creditors who put these inquires on my report and told them to remove them immediately. To date there have been no responses from their offices since sending the letters more than 30 business days, they have all failed to respond and honor my request.

The fair reporting act requires that a creditor be able to verify the written authorization of a consumer giving the creditor permission to review their credit. Provide a copy of a credit application authorizing the disclosure of my credit files with my signature. If signed authorization can not be found please remove the inquiry from all 3 credit bureaus. 

I did not give permissible purpose to any of these companies to run my credit.
Complaint sub-issue: Personal information

On my credit report there is an incorrect address listed as a previous address.I have never lived at XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX, XXXX XXXX. This address is listed for me but I have never lived in XXXX and I have documentation to prove that I was living in XXXX as well as working in XXXX when this was added to my report. I have made a police report In reference to this and notified the credit bureaus although this has not yet been removed
Complaint sub-issue: Attempted to collect wrong amount

On XX/XX/17 I contacted XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX  and spoke to XXXX XXXX. I asked her if her company had debt that I owed them. She looked up my name and said " No it was sent back to XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX '' I said well your company continues to report this on my credit report would you please stop. She became Irate and told me to dispute it through the credit bureau and hung up the phone.
Complaint sub-issue: Their investigation did not fix an error on your report

I have sent factual disputes to the credit bureaus only for them to leave several items on my reports and claim they were " validated ''. They provided no information of how the investigation was completed, only that it was verified by the creditors. I pull copies of my report every month, and I have informed them that there are several blatant inaccuracies in my report that they continue to " verify '' as accurate with every round of disputes. They have inconsistent account opening dates, inconsistent Date of Last Activity dates, credit limit or high credit amount inaccuracies, and yet they continue to report these on my credit report. 

In addition to these inaccuracies, they are listing addresses that I do not reside at, and incorrectly formatted DOB, as well as having the wrong name on my credit report. Since I share the same name as my father and grandfather, how am I to know they aren't reporting stuff from them to my report if they wont list my name correctly on all 3 bureaus?
Complaint sub-issue: Account information incorrect

XXXX XXXX continues to report to the XXXX credit bureaus inaccurate and deliberate false information regarding the initial default date. You will see the attachment documents that support this again after several disputes and ignored by all. 

The proof is here in the documents provided to you.
Complaint sub-issue: Problem making or receiving payments

I purchased some items from two retail stores. One online at XXXX ( XX/XX/19 ), and one in store at XXXX ( XX/XX/19 ). I used my citibank debit card for both purchases. I later needed to return part of my purchase from the XXXX order, to the value of {$120.00}, and the item from XXXX to the value of {$49.00}. I went in store to return the XXXX item ( XX/XX/19 ) and mailed the XXXX items back to await my refund ( XX/XX/19 ). I then needed to close my Citibank account the following day ( XX/XX/19 ), being told by Citibank that there were no pending transactions on my account and that it was safe to close. XXXX informed me that their refund would not process to a closed account and that it would instead bounce back, at which point I would be able to request them to send the money to a different account. XXXX gave me similar information, that the refund should bounce back and they could then process the refund to a different account. After waiting the requested amount of time by both retailers ( up to 10 business days ) I contacted both retailers and asked if the money had bounced back, however both said that the money had been accepted by Citibank ( and sent their proof/bank response codes, attached ). I then called Citibank to locate the missing refunds, however they informed me that there was no possibility of the money being deposited into a closed account and they did not receive the funds. Since then, I've visited several branches, and spoken to several representatives at Citibank who all said Citibank could not locate funds and therefore the funds were still with the retailers. The bankers even submitted tickets to technical support ( twice, one of these is attached ) which I never received ANY responses to - not even a negative response, I was completely ignored. One banker told me the money would be located within a ledger at the branch that I opened my account in, so I went to that branch and of course they could not locate the funds in the ledger. It has been months and I've spoken to every possible person that could help me from all three companies and no one can locate the funds. Please see attached my final statement from Citibank that shows both purchases highlighted, with no refund amounts from either merchant present on the account by the time of closure.
Complaint sub-issue: Need information about your loan balance or loan terms

On XX/XX/XXXX, I reached out to FedLoans to file a balance dispute because the balance on my consolidated loans seem incorrect due to the fact that i did not borrow the amounts stated. My son was in school in XXXX in Colorado ( $ XXXX ) then he came home to attend a XXXX  college from XXXX ( $ XXXX XXXX. the amounts that FedLoan has me owing is ( $ XXXX ). I assume they are including my loans when i was in school from XXXX. I have not been in school since XXXX and those loans should not be included in this amount. I have tried to get them to review the balances again because I'm getting denied Fed Aid for my daughter who will be attending college next year. 
PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE HELP ME/US.
Complaint sub-issue: Reporting company used your report improperly

Tried to see if I was affected by the Equifax hack, which is already outrageous that they 'd allow my data to be compromised in such a manner, and then their page says " come back later '' to see if I 'm hacked and I 'm under the impression that they signed me up for a service I did n't consent to. This needs to be handled NOW
Complaint sub-issue: Old information reappears or never goes away

Today, I was checking my credit report on XXXX XXXX and noticed that Equifax has lowered my credit score by 97 points, lowering my credit from good to fair. There was no reason given why my score was lowered and there was nothing new or added recently. Equifax has done this in the past as well and raised my score when are questioned. 

Equifax has 3 closed accounts on my credit report that are all over 10 years old including 2 XXXX XXXX credit cards and a XXXXXXXX XXXX credit card. Under the Fair Credit Reporting Act, these accounts should have been removed after 10 years. XXXX  has none of these accounts listed on my credit report and XXXX has 1 XXXXXXXX XXXX account listed. These accounts should not be listed on my Equifax credit report and is not only, negatively affecting my credit score, but is against the law as well. 

I have tried to dispute this information with Equifax, however it does not appear in their items to dispute. Again, that is also against the law. A consumer has the right to dispute items on their credit report. I also have a letter from XXXXXXXX XXXX, which states they have not been reporting this account to any credit reporting agencies, so who is reporting this informTion, because it is false.
Complaint sub-issue: Debt is not mine

I previously disputed this account with Hunter Warfield , Inc . I provided them the information they required and they failed to reply back to my complaint. It has almost been 30 business days since this has happened, so I recommend either showing me what you 've come up with or removing it from my credit report.
