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

My complaint is against  XXXX  Credit Bureau and Equifax Credit Bureau. These credit reporting agencies continue to engage in unfair reporting practices.     I have disputed the following accounts to no avai l : 1.   XXXX   XXXX  - Account Number :  XXXX  ....   The creditor inaccurately reported the account as charged off when it fact it was paid directly to the company prior to being charged off. There were several inaccuracies in this reported account, and each time it was disputed,  XXXX  and Equifax allowed the company to keep changing their report instead of demanding actual proof and documentation of the account. The creditor initially reported this as an installment loan - which is was not. The balance was NEVER correct. And now the creditor is reporting it as paid in a settlement, when in fact - the correct and actual balance of the account was paid. Which was less than the creditor ever reported. Each time I disputed this account,   XXXX   and Equifax entered the dispute as being a " Not My Account '' dispute and then came back saying it was " verified as my account '' I knew it was my account, however the details were incorrect. I used the online method, as well as calling the bureau directly.   Because of these disputes, the creditor continued to say it was my account. At this point it is still reporting incorrectly and the creditor agreed to remove the account totally from my credit report. I am asking   XXXX   to request the full documented history on the account instead of just electronically verifying the ownership. This account should be removed as promised.     2.   XXXX   XXXX    XXXX   XXXX   XXXX   XXXX   XXXX   XXXX   XXXX , IL  XXXX  (  XXXX  )  XXXX  Account Number :  XXXX  ....   This company entered a fraudulent judgment against me for an amount I never owed. The courts verified this and the judge therefore vacated the judgment in its ' entirety. This account was supposed to removed from my credit report completely. I sent  XXXX  and Equifax documentation concerning this account, including the judge 's orders and they still continue to report this account as verified as accurate. They allowed the creditor "  XXXX    XXXX   '' to continue to report this as an open and unpaid account for several months after this was resolved. I have suffered enormous damage as a result of the inaccurate reporting that  XXXX  and Equifax continue to say was " verified as accurate. '' How was this verified as accurate when I sent the judge 's orders, as well as receipts from the creditors attorney - months ago. Most recently now  XXXX  simply updated it and change the balance to  XXXX .     XXXX   and Equifax needs to request the complete history of this account, including all documentation from the attorney etc, and this will prove that the company participated in fraudulent reporting on behalf.   This derogatory account is supposed to be completely removed from my credit report.

Complaint sub-issue: Information belongs to someone else

I am filing this report because I have been a victim of identity theft. The way I found out is that I went to XXXX XXXX XXXX to apply for a loan and I was not approved because apparently there are a total of seven accounts reflecting badly on my credit report. None of those accounts are mine ; I did not open any of them and I did not give anyone else permission to open them in my name. I did not benefit anything at all from these accounts and I did not contribute to any payments or purchases made with these suspicious accounts. I do not have any type of written/verbal contract/agreement or relationship with any of those companies. I have filed a police report as well as a complaint with the consumer financial protection bureau regarding all of these accounts that I did not authorize.

Complaint sub-issue: Reporting company used your report improperly

I just made a {$1000.00} payment on my credit card balance of {$3000.00}. Two days after making that payment to my credit card company I get an email that my limit has been decreased. I make substantial payments on all of my credit cards at the same time and this is the only company that lowered my credit limit immediately after. Since 2012 when I opened the account I only made the minimum required and maybe a few dollars more but not a {$1000.00} more. 
Now by them lowering my limit is showing me over the limit after making a {$1000.00} payment to this account. 
I'm trying to oncrease my credit score and this credit card company lowered my score before dubmitting my new balance to the credit bureau. 
I called and asked why they lowered my limit. I was yold based on the credit bureau report. If that's true then the credit bureau gave themXX/XX/XXXXs information whenXX/XX/XXXX was sent by all of my credit card companies. 
If they had used my XXXX payment information my credit limit would have gone up or stayed the same because all of my credit card companies were paid off or pay down to half or a third of the balances. This is how credit bureau 's stay in business by reporting out dated information to credit card companies and this is one way credit card make money off of cardholders by getting over the limit fees that they created.

Before I made my {$1000.00} payment I was nit over my limit and now that I made my big payment I'm over the limit and that's because they lower mu limit right after I made that payment to better my score and to payoff my debts.
Complaint sub-issue: Personal information incorrect

I applied for a debt consolidation loan with XXXX and I was told I was denied using information from FactorTrust and XXXX. I accessed my FactorTrust report and NOTHING on this report is accurate at all. Every single entry on this report is dated XX/XX/XXXX which is extremely odd. This report shows two inquiries on XX/XX/XXXX from XXXX initiated by me that I did not initiate - I have not applied for or initiated anything with XXXX. My drivers license number is wrong. My employer is wrong. None of my positive credit history shows. My entire bank account number is shown and on display. My payment history is completely blank. All the information under account review is incorrect and inaccurate I did not iniate any of these. My home and work phone numbers are incorrect. Under additional information it shows all info received on the same day XX/XX/XXXX and none of the information is correct. This report shows no bankruptcy yet I have been disputing two bankruptcy entries on my XXXX report for over a year. XXXX XXXX removed the information due to inaccuracies and the complaint I filed XXXX the CFPB yet XXXX refues. I was denied a loan I need due to all the misinformation provided by XXXX and FactorTrust. It also has my name listed as " XXXX XXXX '' instead of XXXX XXXX. The bankruptcies shown filed XX/XX/XXXX and XX/XX/XXXX ARE NOT MINE. XXXX XXXX removed them due to conflicting information from the XXXX screens I paid for to access you can see the address on those bankruptcies is NOT mine and that address is not on my credit file and is not the same as the bankruptcy I did file that was discharged in XXXX. If XXXX refuses to remove I demand under 15 U.S Code 1006.34 that XXXX explains to me how they are validating these public entries on my credit file with the misinformation from XXXX and XXXX removal. If XXXX is the parent company of FactorTrust why do they have different information for me on their files.

On XX/XX/XXXX I sent dispute letters to investigate inaccurate information I've found on my credit profile. It's now XXXX of XXXX and I've never received a response to my request, no investigation has begun and no response has been sent. This is preventing me from moving forward with my goals and impacting my ability to secure affordable housing. I understand that as a credit bureau youre a for profit entity and investing consumer disputes and complaints is not in the best interest of your company, but you have enormous power over my financial situation with the data you hold within your company. Please respond to my request!

The employee, XXXX, informed me that she could not do anything to assist me to have the hard inquiry removed and that it was my responsibility to contact XXXX XXXX to obtain a letter from them verifying I did not apply for credit. She also asked if I contacted the police department to report it. Also, she confirmed it would stay on my credit report for two years until Equifax receives a letter. I asked to have a fraudulent inquiry put on my file to ensure this does not occur again.
Complaint sub-issue: Account status incorrect

In early   XXXX   I signed an agreement  with AES for a Rehabilitation program in which the terms clearly state that upon completion of 9 months of repayments my loans will be eligible for rehabilitation. Right on the agreement it states that one of the benefits will be that AES negative reporting will be deleted from my credit report. Here we are 4 years later and they have n't held up their end of the agreement and continue to illegally breach the agreement reporting the negative marks for these loans which continues to ruin my financial well being. Attached are the original agreement, the confirmation letter that I successfully completed the rehabilitation, and a recent copy of my credit report showing the section of the illegal reporting of 6 student loans in the rehab program.

Complaint sub-issue: Banking errors

I signed up for a Usbank checking account as the result of a solicited offer of {$300.00} bonus if I met certain criteria within 60 days. I met all requirements but Usbank refuses to honor advertised promotion even though Usbank states they have no doubt that I received the offer. There excuse is that the code wasn't included in the application even though the Usbank website stated the promo code would automatically be entered as I proceeded through application web pages. I contacted Usbank but they refuse to honor their terms even though I said I could provide screenshot of the terms. Correspondence can be provided and also can be posted publicly to provide proof of my claim and Usbank 's refusal to honor their promotion.

Complaint sub-issue: Information is incorrect

This company is fraudulently reporting incorrect information for my daughter and I. They are fraudulently reporting that we are the same person. They are illegally reporting that we are aliases of one another. We do have the same first name only and different last names. She's my daughter so we have resided at the same addresses and we've been authorized on each other 's credit cards, etc BUT we have different date of birth 's and different social security numbers. This company has failed to verify any type of facts before sharing personal information and details. Because the names are similar, they never take the time to confirm and verify if it is the same person or not. They have caused my daughter and I to be declined credit, declined rental assistance, rejected applications and higher interest rates and security deposits. They have never verified if we are the same person or not even though our information is completely different. Both of our information is listed on each other 's credit reports, public records, background checks, employment history, 3 major credit reporting agencies, insurance reports, etc ... We are requesting that this company removes all information that it has listed for both us and wipe the report clean. We are requesting that the company sends each of us SEPARATE copies of our consumer reports and files for us to each review. We are requesting that a security freeze is added to both of our files so that no further misleading, misinformation, incorrect, fraudulent information is reported again until all matters have been resolved. We are requesting that they refund us for the extra money that we had to pay out of pocket to dispute, repair and correct our profiles only for them to submit the incorrect information illegally again. We are requesting a refund of the extra interest rates that we were charged because our scores decreased due to incorrect reporting. We are requesting that this information is completed expeditiously and that it is not delayed or held up any further.
