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

This is XXXX XXXX submitting this CFPB complaint to request to the Credit Bureaus to properly invetigate and correct the dispute account from my Credit Report. The Credit Reporting Agencies continued to report this account as late and claimed that the account is verified but I did not receive any proof of verification or any document for them to claim that the account is investigated and verified. If the Credit Bureaus ' investigation is really conducted at all, they should have sent me any document as proof of verification! Once again, I AM NOT LATE IN PAYING WITH THIS ACCOUNT! I do not believe I am late on the dates this account reports. Also, I have been keeping my own record of payment and the data this account reports do not match with what I have. The 3 credit bureaus must validate these accounts in line with Sections 609 ( a ) ( 1 ) ( A ) and 611 ( a ) ( 1 ) ( A ). It is not authorized to fail to validate these reporting accounts as unverified information without providing any proof within the period allowed by law. I am urging the Credit Bureaus to please CONDUCT ANOTHER INVESTIGATION AND UPDATE THE PAYMENT STATUS OF THIS ACCOUNT!

Complaint sub-issue: Public record

Equifax is stating that the information on the public record is accurate and closed the dispute. I know the information is accurate. My issue is that I filed a Chapter XXXX bankruptcy in XXXX XXXX, which means XXXX XXXX it has been 7 years and should be removed. XXXX and XXXX both have complied and cleared my record. When I called Equifax , I was told that because my Chapter XXXX was dismissed and not discharged, I have to wait 10 years for it to be removed. I have called and consulted with several bankruptcy lawyers and all have told me that the rule is 7 years for a Chapter XXXX.

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

Although I am checking for and addressing missing and or deficient aspects of REPORTING COMPLIANCES and not contesting any debt of compliant nature, I should make you aware that since unlawful reporting transitions collection into an equally not complaint circumstance. Being still yet not validated by document fact in compliance to requisite standards, it is to be announced yet again that legally I have no knowledge of the validity of the alleged claims of delinquency and or derogatory nature, nor of the certifiably compliant matter to either any of its collection attempts and or its reporting despite previous consumer filed composed complaints checking for each. Might it be known, especially shall I elect to take this matter up to a civil court, any debt and or derogatory claim must be pursued ( particularly for collection ) in a very defined and precisely compliant and physically verifiable or certifiable manner as detailed in the requisite obeyed federal and state collection and reporting regulations associated with any of the above noted said claim ( s ) to include but not limited to the FCBA, FCRA, HIPAA PRIVACY RULE, FACTA, FDCPA and TCPA, etc. ADDITIONALLY, if an entity acts as a collector and also elects to act as a reporting party of consumer credit they must as well adhere to every single one even each any and all of the regulatory reporting requisites and standards of reporting with legal standing in full accordance of laws and accepted reporting standards. To date, the plaintiff has failed to demonstrate any capacity or willingness to validate the alleged debt much less certify the fair, accurate, complete and compliant reporting of the claims, particularly being significantly deficient is any display of certified metro 2 compliance. As such, given the fact of recent breaches of information collection repositories, I am hesitating to readily accept what is presented without testimonial and certified physically verifiable document evidence of claim as being legitimate. I deny nothing, yet I reserve the right to question any unproven claim. I do NOT accept the statement of claim of the plaintiff and I call for the court to reject their claim as untrue, unverified, incomplete, not compliant or otherwise invalid and thereby reject-able and dischargeable which requirement to be dismissed in full. I demand said court resolution today, even here and now in full accords of regulatory statutes, mentioned by me or not.
Complaint sub-issue: Problem with statement of dispute

XX/XX/XXXX I did an internship in the state XXXX. I paid my taxes and filed my taxes with an accountant friend of mine. I was in XXXX school and had done work that year in XXXX different states. We filed taxes in all XXXX states, but we did not attach the physical XXXX to the XXXX tax return as it was not required in any other state and my accountant was not aware of the rule XXXX. XX/XX/XXXX my credit report showed that I had a tax lien from the state XXXX. This had a major negative impact on my credit report of over XXXX points. As I did not live at the address that XXXX had on file, I did not receive information that there was a problem with my tax return and was unaware of any issues. 
After seeing the drop in my credit score and researching the cause, I reached out to the state XXXX and received a letter from the state XXXX stating that I never owed any money to the state XXXX, but because my XXXX was not attached the lien was attached for improper filing of taxes. I have presented this letter to the credit agencies and despite the fact that I never missed a payment or owed any money my credit score has continued to be negatively impacted by this lien. A credit agency is not there to report whether my accountant and I filed our taxes correctly but to report on my ability to pay my bills. 

I have paid my bills on time and provided them with documented proof of this fact. I do n't know what else to do to remove this from my credit report.
Complaint sub-issue: Credit card company isn't resolving a dispute about a purchase on your statement

I opened a fraud investigation with Discover in XXXX after noticing fraudulent XXXX and XXXX XXXX  charges on my account. I am unable to provide exact dates due to the account being closed, only discover can access that at this point. I am also unable to provide exact amounts because it is multiple charges over a year and a half and I also do not have access to them any longer. Unfortunately I didn't realize them, but despite Discover 's " {$0.00} Fraud Liability Guarantee '' they denied my dispute after their 90 day investigation and charged me interest on the amount that wasn't even on my account during those 90 days. They did this despite insurmountable evidence that these charges were not made by me - most notably that I do not even have an XXXX XXXX  account and the XXXX account I do have I had not even used for three months ( since XX/XX/XXXX XXXX and my payment method is through XXXX and connected to my XXXX  XXXX XXXX debit card. I notified them immediately upon noticing the fraudulent charges but I was told, after them putting the thousands of dollars back on my card in XX/XX/XXXX, that they denied it because they felt that I should have been aware sooner, and that I had seen the XXXX charges ( not making the connection that my XXXX account and XXXX was on my XXXX  debit not my discover credit line ) which allowed for it to go on for another month longer before I made the connection, in which I had paid my discover bill during that time so that makes me guilty?. It is embarrassing enough having not realized I was being taken advantage of and been stolen from for this long but to have my credit card company that has a {$0.00} Fraud Liability Guarantee tell me that I am the one to blame and I have to pay for this thieves rides and dinners is extremely disheartening and the reason me and my entire family will be closing our discover accounts and never using them again. They should not be advertising and gaining business on a {$0.00} Fraud Liability Guarantee if they are going to deny fraud claims that are clearly fraud and high amounts of it.
Complaint sub-issue: Sent card you never applied for

I received a statement from citi/COSTCO : XXXX Statement : Minimum payment due : XXXX Balance as of XX/XX/19 XXXX Account is past due my name/address NO ACCOUNT NUMBER I DO NOT WON this credit card, nor have I ever authorized its use. 
I called 4 different phone numbers ( account assistance ) ... .no options since I had to include my account number. Also asked for phone number or SS number. Foolishly I gave the SS number. Finally had to call 'technical support ' to talk w/live individual ( i guess ). When she asked about 'which ' citi credit card I was having an issue with, her she said 'costco ' ? Transferred to another rep. He wanted all vital info ... dob/ss/phone etc. I disputed providing this information over the phone. He said, 'but you called me ', like that made an already illegitimate fraud legitimate. I said I was going to report fraud ; he put me on hold ; then came back on and said he had 'their fraud ' person on hold and was going to transfer me to her ... .so I could make a complaint.
Complaint sub-issue: Old information reappears or never goes away

I enrolled with Florida XXXX XXXX XXXX back in XX/XX/2010. At the time of enrollment I was told that my credits from my prior school would transfer towards my degree. It wasn't until a the end of XX/XX/2010 that I was informed that they wouldn't transfer my credits. I therefor withdrew from the college extremely upset that I was mislead and wasted several months that I assumed was being put towards my degree. I enrolled in a different school. The statue of limitations for how long the accounts can report has long expired. Again this all occurred in 2010 and at no point was payment made. It's now almost 9 years and the four accounts are still reporting. This is clearly a violation of the FCRA.

Complaint sub-issue: Information belongs to someone else

I have attempted to file multiple disputes to Equifax in regard to fraud activity on my credit file. I have provided documents to verify my address at the time of the said services. I was a victim of identity theft and this company is aware of that. I have police reports on this matter in which Equifax disregard every time I file a dispute. The companies reporting is XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX and Mississippi XXXX. Both specifying dates which is impossible to live in 2 places at the same time. I have requested verification documents from these companies many times and have not been provided the documents used to open these accounts. I filed a recent dispute with Equifax XX/XX/2019 and the results are verified as belonging to me. Equifax could not provide me the information that is legally entitled to me on how their company discovered the results. I was told by an Equifax representative that it was word of mouth from the companies claiming I owe the debt. 

I've had a credit freeze on my account with Equifax for years due to my social security card and government ID being stolen as well as fraud activity on my accounts. Equifax today is still distributing my credit information to third party companies even with my file being locked. My sensitive information was leaked in Equifax 's latest of many data breeches and I was told by Equifax there was nothing I or they could do about the concern of my Identity. Equifax is not following the laws in regards to consumer personal information and rights. Equifax is conducting business with careless intent and no concern to consumers. To many people are victims of identity theft and fraud activitiy due to Equifax back door security. Equifax seems to be for the creditors as they are being used so often by creditors that they have no regards for the consumers. Equifax do not complete thorough investigations on disputes and Equifax house false and inaccurate information on purpose.

No one will answer why these payments all the sudden don't qualify my employment has never changed in 12 years and I'm always current on payments and submit my recertification yearly.

Complaint sub-issue: Overdrafts and overdraft fees

I reported this bank once already. And how their app had a setting to allow overdraft. And that the default seeing is TO ALLOW overdrafts on a DEBIT CARD. which I feel is intentional fraud with the {$50.00} overdraft fee and the {$15.00} maintenance fee. So I changed the settings to STOP OVERDRAFTS. AND yet US BANK authorized 2 transactions that there was not enough money in the account to complete. And in believe it was a incredibly small amount over. I think under {$1.00}. BUT THEY HAVE MY ACCOUNT AT A NEGATIVE - {$83.00} for overdraft and maintenance fees. Even after I reset the default overdraft setting.

Complaint sub-issue: Received bad information about my loan

I have been making payments to XXXX XXXX for two years. Today I discovered that another company XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX is holding XXXX of my student loans. I had no idea. I have had the same email and phone number for 15 years and I have NEVER heard from these people, ever. As a result my taxes were seized leaving me in dire straights. What really makes me angry is that if I had KNOWN this loan was with this company I would have addressed it, I could have had them all consolidated so I can make payments together. Because they have acted in secrecy, by never contacting me, two years after making on time monthly payments my credit score is still suffering and I have XXXX loans in default. I have struggled to get my credit on track and this is a huge set back. Not to mention I actually owe XXXX more than I took out in student loans thanks to insane collection fee 's. I want my loans taken from these people immediately. I want them placed with XXXX XXXX, the company who reached out to me and helped me get this started. I also want XXXX to receive repercussions for their part in this.
Complaint sub-issue: Reporting company used your report improperly

As part of the hack of Equifax, my personal information had been stolen. Unlike other hacks such as XXXX, and XXXX, Equifax is not a company I can choose not to share my information with. If I want credit, which is necessary these days, then they have to have my information. If they can not protect the personal information of people that are REQUIRED to use their services, then what are they doing being in business?
Complaint sub-issue: Fee problem

I have had an account with US Bank but was never told that they put ch ecks through 24 h r/day. I asked for this policy in writing but they do n't have it in writing and never did. I had a check go through at  XXXX   XXXX , which I did not know was possible. I have had a number of overdrafts and have now realized its because the check went through in the middle of the night and I wake up with an overdraft posted, when I had looked at my account the eve before and it was positive. Ive asked what the business hours are at my bank and I 'm told they are  XXXX  to  XXXX . I assumed that that 's when business is conducted and not the middle of the night. Now I realize that checks can go thro ugh 24/7. No one told me that and it is not in any of the bank brocheres they have given me. It is not printed anywhere. I checked with the banker. This is deceptive practice.
