Complaint sub-issue: Information belongs to someone else

My name is XXXX XXXX. The credit bureau is refusing to remove a collection record from my report that is not mine. It is being reported as a paid debt but I have never had any business dealings with this company. I have never been called by them, I have never received any letters or notices from them and I have never paid them any money. There is no reason for this to be on my credit. The account name is under " XXXX XXXX '' with account number # XXXX. It is reported to have been opened since XXXX 2016. As the credit bureau 's records will show, I have been disputing this for a very LONG time. To this date, I have only received generic responses claiming the account information is accurate to be on my report. Last week, I took it upon myself to call XXXX XXXX and spoke to their representatives and a supervisor. It turns out that the personal information on this account does not match mine besides a very similar sounding name. They were not able to give out any more details because I was not the verified person on the account. This is frustrating and confirms to me that the credit bureau has not been processing my past disputes properly. If I am being told by the source of this information that this is not my account, why does the credit bureau continue to report this to my credit? I am being given the runaround when the fault is really with the credit bureau and they are refusing to correct their mistake. This is the reason why I am filing this complaint.

Complaint sub-issue: Attempted to collect wrong amount

Almost XXXX XXXX years ago I terminated my lease at XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX NC. I was never late on my rent and the apartment was spotless. I left my forwarding information and never heard from them again. I have over a dozen wittiness plus pictures that my place was very nice and clean. I received a call from Hunter Warfield Inc that I owed {$820.00} for damages. First off over 2 years later and no communication, no itemize documentation of what the {$820.00} was for. It is now showing on my credit. 

Furthermore, my current house management company does walk through inspections every 6 months. I have lived here almost 2 years and they have always told me how great we are and that my home is so clean and well decorate.
Complaint sub-issue: Transaction was not authorized

My debit card was compromised and there was 27 charges in the amount of XXXX for XXXX on XX/XX/XXXX I contacted my bank and apple on XX/XX/XXXX to report the fraud before the charges have processed. XXXX could not or would not reverse the charges, and my bank would not file a fraud report until the fraudulent charges had processed. 

I filed a claim after the charges have cleared my bank, the funds remains unavailable to me and I was told it could take up to 10 days for the claim. The bank is not moving any faster on this even given the significant amount. If I didn't have an emergency fund in savings I would be in trouble.
Complaint sub-issue: Information is missing that should be on the report

My concern is why there is a discrepancy in the information that these companies use to create you FICO score. Ex. Credit age with XXXX is 6 yr. 1 mo-XXXX 4 yr. 3 mo. 
Credit Card use XXXX is 5 % -XXXX is 7 %. Hard Inquiries XXXX is 1-XXXX  3. Total accounts XXXX is 33-XXXX is 27. Shouldn't this information be the same? There is quite a gap in the FICO scores as well. XXXX is XXXX and XXXX is XXXX. 

I hope you can help me with this. 

Thank you, XXXX

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

I filed chapter XXXX in XX/XX/XXXX. Unbeknownst to me at the time, I was not required to make any student loan payments outside of my bankruptcy as it was not included in my schedules. I was in school at the time of filing so was not required to pay. I became delinquent in XX/XX/XXXX, but again I should have not been in a repayment status due to the chapter XXXX. I have contacted XXXX 3 times in regards to this matter and they reply that I applied for forbearance after the delinquency, ignoring the fact that I should not have been in repayment at that time.
Complaint sub-issue: Public record information inaccurate

I filled out an application for a contruction loan and a consolidated credit report was pulled from all 3 credit bureaus. I was asked by the bank about a judgement that showed active on the report. I asked him which bureau it was and he said he did not know. I then proceeded to pull all three of my credit reports and it showed no judgements on them. I called the bank back and asked about the report he pulled that showed the judgement. He said that the company was Lexis/Nexis. I never heard of them before. My complaint is that if my credit worthiness and score is being pulled from the combine of the three recognised bureaus, then why is this company ( Lexis/Nexis ) able to interject their own information gathered onto my report. To make things worse, the information was out of date and I had to file yet another dispute with a company that I bet no one has heard of. Sounds as if they are trying to weasle their way into the system as another credit bureau. Please, help clear this up for me. I think that they should not be aloud to add stuff that is not being reported by the 3 original bureaus!! Thank you for your help with this matter.

Complaint sub-issue: Didn't receive notice of right to dispute

Company appeared on my credit X/XX/2017. I have no knowledge of this account and the company has never sent me any correspondence given me the opportunity to obtain validity prior to reporting on my report. Prior to filing this complaint I called the credit bureau and was informed that the company provided proof that the account was mine because of matching addresses on file and birthday but the social didnt match and they flagged my file as having a double credit file and sent out notices to the company to send proper validation with my social or delete from the file. When I tried to call because I have no idea what this is from the customer service agents was unable to speak with me unless I verified my information. I gave her my social and the account number furnished on my report. She was unable to speak with me as the information didnt match. When I asked her to send me a letter stating they had the wrong information the call conveniently disconnected. I called back and asked another agent and he said its against their policy to discuss the account because the information doesnt match, when I asked him to send me verification of the debt and to cease collections he stated they wouldnt collect anymore but he couldnt stop it from going on/remove it from my credit if I didnt pay. I AM NOT PAYING FOR AN ACCOUNT THAT IS NOT MINE and they couldnt even verify in their system. I have never had an XXXX account and I have no knowledge of this account.

I already reached out to the credit bureaus ( XXXX, XXXX, XXXX ) and notified them of their error posting of information on my report. The account balance is in fact wrong. A charge-off should show a XXXX balance. I was never late on these accounts. I have been monitoring my credit report for any changes, but I am yet to see the correction that I asked for and desperately need. I requested to generate a detailed description of the procedure designed to verify the account is " real '' but as of the moment no information was received. I had also requested the actual proof, physical firsthand documentation of the payment history but I did not receive what I asked and these violations persist on my credit report.

Time has already passed but up until now, I havent heard any kind of response from the XXXX Credit Bureaus which made me decide to seek assistance from you.

However, if they failed to do so, they are obliged to remove or update the accounts which are erroneous and unverified. Their unfavorable and unacceptable actions have been hurting my credit scores immensely.
