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

Equifax and XXXX are refusing to remove a collection that's reporting on my credit report. I have no relationship with XXXX XXXX XXXX and the balance was paid with the original creditor, hence why the account reports a XXXX balance, so I am confused as to why they are still reporting this account. I have sent all XXXX credit reporting agencies proof and XXXX is the only credit bureau that removed the account. I do not believe that Equifax or XXXX conducted an investigation into the inaccuracy of this account therefore I am reporting this to the CFPB, XXXX, and the attorney general. XXXX also reports that no payments have been made on the account when the account has no balance. Please tell me how this meets FCRA guidelines? I am requesting that Equifax and XXXX follow suit and remove this account from my credit report, or I will be seeking compensation per violation. Please see attached credit report.

There are problems with my credit report
Complaint sub-issue: Didn't receive enough information to verify debt

Hello, I was a victim of identity theft in the past. This creditor never sent in any mail stating that this debt was owed. Never received written notice about this debt before it was reported on my credit report. I contacted them 40 days ago and have yet to receive proper validation and documents stating this account is mine. This has surpassed the legal time limit please remove this from my credit report. There is no verification of this alleged debt that is not mine. The dates reporting across all credit bureaus are different this is inaccurate. Also this account listed gave false/misleading information then decided to close the account. There is a positive balance of {$6100.00} which is false representation of the amount. This goes against 15 USC Section 1692e ( a ) I also never granted this organization. 

The account is XXXXXXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX. 

I am the only one who can validate this debt, according to congress I am the original creditor. I do not validate this debt. Congress law states that legally this account is supposed to be removed from my credit report.

The number that is calling is XXXX ( Univin Inc. )

Complaint sub-issue: Don't agree with fees charged

I was a student at XXXX XXXX in XXXX, Montana. During my time there I was enrolled in a special program called XXXX. The college, without warning, dropped the degree field overnight not allowing students to finish. The degree was not transferable. I am now stuck without means to pay off the loans and no way of finishing a degree to pay them off. I have been duped. There is no means to my knowledge to have my loans relinquished which is of very poor taste. Please HELP!!
Complaint sub-issue: Didn't receive services that were advertised

I purchased 2 sets of 3-piece luggage from XXXX for a total of {$410.00} ( {$200.00} each ). One was delivered on XX/XX/2020, the other was never delivered. The XXXX tracking information for the missing item confirms that it was never delivered. I contacted XXXX on XX/XX/2020 and they refused to provide any assistance. I attempted to resolve with XXXX on XX/XX/2020 and they refused to assist. So I filed my dispute with PNC Bank against the charge to my debit card. I filed it on XX/XX/2020 through their online banking submission form. I provided them with the dates and tracking information confirming that the merchandise was not received. Their online system did not allow me to select the partial amount of {$200.00} so the claim was submitted for the full amount of {$410.00} and I included an explanation in the body of the form that I was only disputing {$200.00}. I received a credit for {$410.00} to my account several days later. Two weeks after that, I received a letter in the mail asking for all the same information I already provided. This letter also stated very clearly that if I did not fill it out and return it, they would use the information I have already provided. Having already provided every detail they could need, I did not return the letter. As a result, my claim was denied and my account was charged the {$410.00} again. When I contacted PNC to re-open the claim, they advised they would re-send the letter and to fill it out and return it. I received no repeat letter. Instead, 30 days after I reactivated my dispute, I received another letter denying my claim. When I called and escalated the dispute to a manager, the only explanation I was provided was that because I did not sign and return the letter, they closed my claim. Even when I explained that their own letter included the statement that they would use the information I already provided, the " manager '' simply repeated himself over and over. It was at that time I realized they would be no help in protecting me and my financial interests. So I informed them at that time I would be filing a complaint with the CFPB and that I wanted it on record that I was filing said complaint because of the misinformation they provided on their own paperwork. I am aware of the requirements for a valid Visa dispute code XXXX for non-receipt of merchandise. I contacted my bank well within the required timeframes and provided them with all of the required information to file a valid dispute against XXXX and pursue a chargeback against which the merchant had no valid argument. I believe that the only reason PNC did not pursue my claim is that they did not take action promptly enough to be able to file the claim within the dispute timeframes to recover the funds from XXXX.

In accordance with the Fair Credit Reporting act XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX has violated my rights. 

15 U.S.C 1681 Section 604 A Section 2 : It also states a consumer reporting agency can not furnish a account without my written instructions 15 U.S.C 1666B : A creditor may not treat a payment on a credit card account under an open end consumer credit plan as late for any purpose
Complaint sub-issue: Their investigation did not fix an error on your report

Public Record from a Chapter XXXX Bankruptcy. 

On XX/XX/2021 I placed a request for suppression of my file with Lexis Nexis due to the inaccurate and derogatory item on my consumer report. On XX/XX/XXXX. 2021 I sent a letter out to XXXX, XXXX and XXXX notifying them that " I do not recognize this public record ''. 

At or around XX/XX/2021, I received a response via a credit report mailed to me, that the public record was verified by the US Bankruptcy Court. Frustratingly, I've contacted the court and they advised they do not report to the credit bureaus nor have they verified anything. 

On XX/XX/2021 I sent a letter to the three Credit Bureaus with an attached response from the U.S bankruptcy Court, advising " It is clear the court do not report to you or to any credit bureau for that matter, nor is a debtor 's full social security number reported ; therefore your original response verifying this item with the court was either an error or deceitful. Either way, the reporting requirements do not comply with FCRA 611 ( 15 U.S.C. 1681I ) and the information must be deleted immediately.

XXXX removed this inaccurate reporting immediately, however, XXXX and XXXX  did not based on their deceitful actions. 

On XX/XX/2021 I also sent a certified letter to Lexis Nexis that they received on XX/XX/2021 bringing to their attention of their erroneous, inaccurate data and request that they provide verifiable documentary proof, in additional to removal of this negative item. To date I have not received any correspondence, proof or removal of this file!

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

I submitted a dispute by mail to Equifax regarding a 60 day late payment being reported by XXXX XXXX which is incorrect. Equifax failed to conduct an actual investigation and provide supporting documents showing why they are stating the late payment is valid. I requested their method of verification and that was also dismissed. I filed a CFPB complaint and Equifax closed the case which makes no sense how that was allowed based on their reason which was once again generic and did not make sense either. No actual ethical investigation has been completed by Equifax or this payment would already be deleted. Equifax responded with " we hope this resolves your concerns '' but left out how it may have resolved my concerns as there was no information of the action they took other than closing the complaint. Equifax needs to be held accountable for their lack of investigation and inability to provide supporting documents.

Complaint sub-issue: Debt is not mine

Afni Collections, Inc. sent a letter stating that I owed XXXX XXXX {$120.00}. I sent a debt and consumer verification letter requesting proof I I did in fact owe the money and how the amount was calculated. Afni is in violation of FDCPA 15 U.S.C. 1692 et seq. In XXXX v. XXXX, et al. 2014, XXXX Circuit ruled that " the verification requirement was satisfied where the debtor could sufficiently dispute the payment obligation. '' They have reported to XXXX credit bureaus without adequate proof of the debt. They failed to provide information and acted illegally, and are guilty of providing unproven information of a libelous nature. Additionally, they falsely accessed my credit report, having insufficient information to prove I have a valid debt, or that they even have assignment of the debt.
Complaint sub-issue: Unable to open an account

I opened a checking account at Citibank online on XX/XX/XXXX and funded {$6500.00} on XX/XX/XXXX as part of the deposit requirements of their promotion at that time. However, in the meantime, I was not able to log in to my online account out of the blue, and I was told by the agent that my account was a matter of the closure of their own will. 
I tried to contact the supervisor of Citibank multiple times to find out why my account was forced to close, could not get my fund back from the period of XX/XX/XXXX to XX/XX/XXXX, but was not able to find out anything related to the happening. 

I put my {$6500.00} on Citibank on XX/XX/XXXX and still can not get my money back, which causes inconvenience to me. I don't understand their response to me, and not happy about their poor customer service.

I visited the website - XXXX XXXX XXXX - provided by Equifax to check if my social security data was compromised as well and the tool informed me that I *may* be affected.
