Complaint sub-issue: Was not notified of investigation status or results

I received a debt collection letter from AFNI dated XX/XX/XXXX, regarding an alleged debt they claimed was mine. I submitted an email directly on their website requesting validation of the debt on XX/XX/XXXX. I received a response from their company a couple of days later stating they will contact me in writing with the results. On XX/XX/XXXX I received an alert from XXXX stating an account was added to my credit report from AFNI. I have not received any correspondence from them by mail or email. But yet they reported this on my file. I check my mail on a regular basis as well as my emails. As well as my credit report. Theyre obviously not taking consumer request seriously. Im beyond livid at this point.

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

XXXX, XXXX  and Equifax are allowing XXXX XXXX to report a Bankruptcy in which the Federal Bankruptcy Court is not reporting. I do not have an account with XXXX XXXX or a contract. The federal bankruptcy court is not verifying my personal info to XXXX XXXX and it is illegal for a third part to report of verify such information in which they were not a party to. 

The same three credit bureaus is further violating my constitutional rights by allowing XXXX XXXX to report a civil judgment from the XXXXr County Tennessee Court that is marked satisfied. I do not have an account with XXXX XXXX and they are reporting a collection of {$4900.00} when the court has marked the judgment satisfied. This is a violation of the Fair Credit Reporting Act. 

The same three credit bureaus is again violating my constitutional rights by allowing the Tennessee Dept. of Human Services to report a civil judgment from the State of Texas. They have been incorrectly reporting and will not allow me a hearing for the negative reporting. State law forbids adverse credit reporting without the opportunity of a hearing. They have removed {$13000.00} from my credit, but should not allowed to report anything that was not entered by the State of Texas. Moreorver, the state law only allows them to report on accounts that are over {$1000.00} past due. I am not past due on an agreed upon judgment in Texas.

Complaint sub-issue: Other problem getting your report or credit score

Since XX/XX/XXXX I have been speaking with numerous representatives at Equifax regarding a block. I am in the mortgage process and my lender can not access any information from Equifax. He ran my credit in XX/XX/XXXX and XX/XX/XXXX. He ran the credit again end of XXXX working on final loan approval and has been receiving a clock from Equifax on his end. I can Equifax 1st representative says theres no block, 2nd representative same day says there is a block, speak to supervisor all in the same day which advises there is a block and social security/driver license is needed. I fax over per their request. Call the following Monday to confirm all documents were received as I am on a time crunch ; they advised they were received however I didnt need to do all of that, and he was lifting the block as we spoke on that same call. All the while every single call/representative has asked the same security questions which I provide the same answers and have always passed my security questions and validated my file. Every time I speak to my lender he advises he still gets a block from Equifax. He has even called the customer service dept asking how we can lift this block and he was told that I needed to call and request a release for core logic because that is the system my lender uses. I did just that, representative advised theres no such block. Now, after almost 2 weeks of providing same information all of a sudden I am unable to validate my security answers and questions and Im blocked from accessing my Equifax file. Please help as I need loan approval in 1 week! These people are all incompetent! Always giving you incorrect, inconsistent information.

Complaint sub-issue: Debt was paid

XXXX XXXX was originally collecting a debt of XXXX from me which was accumulated when they continued to charge me monthly for a contract phone I was not using. I was on my credit account as a debt collection for two years than disappeared. It reappeared but this time it is under the company Jefferson Capital Systems. They sent me a letter saying they are offering me a discounted amount to pay off my debt which I did pay off in full. It showed that my balance was at XXXX. Now on my credit account they continue to have the account open and claim I owe them a balance of XXXX which is not correct. Now I am not so sure this is a collection on the behalf of XXXX XXXX, it is possible they could have found that information and are claiming to collect it on XXXX 's behalf. Now my credit score is being affected by something I paid off and I am not so sure my money was given to the right party. I have tried disputing it, but they keep lying even though I have provided proof of the letter and payment.
