Complaint sub-issue: Information belongs to someone else

I have been disputing the fraudulent items on my Credit Report from XX/XX/XXXX to XX/XX/XXXX by sending dispute letters addressed to the Credit Bureaus. But despite all my efforts to correct my Credit file, the Credit Bureaus seemed to enjoy not giving a XXXX about my Dispute and my Credit File. The Credit Bureaus are given ample amount of time by the Federal law to conduct their investigation and remove the items that resulted due to Identity Theft. I am submitting this complaint to remind the Credit Bureaus that they are required to remove the items I am disputing since these resulted due to the crime. They have failed me before and I was tempted to take legal actions against the Credit reporting Agencies but I will be kind enough to give them a couple more chance and correct my File under each Respective Bureaus. I am utterly frustrated to see that despite all my efforts, the Credit Bureaus have become negligent of the FCRA regulation, my appeals, and their utmost duty to report accurate only information on a consumer 's Credit File. Once again, the items I am disputing were the result of the Identity Theft and must be removed immediately in accordance to FCRA regulations : XXXX, XXXX, XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX, MO XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX, MO XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX, MO XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX, MO XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX, MO XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX, MO XXXX XXXX XXXX  XXXX Balance Owed : {$0.00} XXXX  XXXX  XXXX Balance Owed : {$5600.00} XXXX XXXX Balance Owed ; {$4300.00} XXXX XXXX Balance Owed : {$0.00} XXXX XXXX XXXX  XXXX Balance Owed : {$1000.00} XXXX XXXX XXXX Balance Owed : {$2700.00} XXXX XXXX XXXX  XXXX  XX/XX/XXXX XXXX  XX/XX/XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XX/XX/XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX  XX/XX/XXXX XXXX  XXXX XXXX XX/XX/XXXX XXXX XX/XX/XXXX XXXX XX/XX/XXXX XXXX  XXXX  XXXX/XXXX/XXXX  XX/XX/XXXX XXXX XXXX Balance Owed : {$850.00} XXXX XX/XX/XXXX XXXX XX/XX/XXXX XXXX XX/XX/XXXX XXXX XX/XX/XXXX XXXX  XX/XX/XXXX XXXX XX/XX/XXXX XXXX  XXXX  XXXX XX/XX/XXXX XXXX  XXXX XX/XX/XXXX XXXX  XXXX XX/XX/XXXX XXXX XXXX XX/XX/XXXX XXXX  XXXX XXXX XX/XX/XXXX XXXX XXXX  XX/XX/XXXX XXXX XXXX XX/XX/XXXX XXXX XXXX  XX/XX/XXXX XXXX/XXXX  XX/XX/XXXX

Complaint sub-issue: Threatened to sue on too old debt

XXXX XXXX sued me after the statue of limitations had run out on a credit card account that was time-barred. The card still appears as an open account on my credit report which I recently ordered. XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX claimed that they bought the credit card account from Citi Bank and that makes the card a personal account now, and thus, it is no longer an open account. I have never seen anywhere in all the research that I have done that an open account becomes a personal account after it is sold. In XXXX XXXX, the statue of limitations is three years on an open account and fifteen years on a personal account. If they can claim this as their defense then how is the statue of limitations protecting consumers if rules/laws can be changed to benefit these companies that buy these accounts on XXXX cents to the dollar and then add other charges? I would be interested in knowing if this is true in other states or only in XXXX XXXX? This is hurting many working families in XXXX XXXX and I feel that it is causing more damage than the XXXX XXXX debt we are facing because these are individual families. Removing the statues of limitations as a defense against these giant corporation leaves the consumer at the mercy of these heartless and immoral company.
Complaint sub-issue: Their investigation did not fix an error on your report

Good Afternoon, I am in desperate need of help with inaccurate information being reported on my credit report by all three credit bureau 's. There are two collection accounts that are causing me difficulty with my career. I currently hold a security clearance and am in jeopardy of losing it, because of inaccurate reporting 's by Equifax, XXXX, and XXXX. One is XXXX XXXX. 

I recently reviewed my credit reports and found that there were two collections accounts. One with a company called XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX in the amount of {$370.00}. This was due to them buying an account from XXXX ( Cell Phone ) who claimed that I owed this amount. I explained to both, The Credit Bureau, and XXXX XXXX that I am a US Soldier, and I did not owe XXXX a remaining balance, that I had contacted XXXX concerning this amount, and they were unable to find my account with said balance owed. I now owe XXXX XXXX this balance of {$370.00}, whom I have no business with. I have never signed any contract with this company and I do n't owe them any money. I explained this to all three of the credit bureau 's and they simply say the debt has been verified.

Complaint sub-issue: Reporting company used your report improperly

Equifax failed to protect my data and it was sent out of their systems to an unknown entity. This breach impacts me directly, I can not opt out, I can not stop it, they collect data and don't protect it. Their systems sent the data out, this violates Section 604 of the FCRA ( Permissible Purposes ).

Complaint sub-issue: Problem with balance transfer

I have a DISCOVER BANK CREDIT CARD which for the year XXXX - XXXX have taken out balance transfers BALANCE TRANSFER HISTORY : {$3900.00} Deposit into Checking DISCOVER BANK ending XXXX Sent to your checking account on XX/XX/XXXX. 
Promo APR 6.99 % Promo Expires XX/XX/XXXX {$7000.00} Deposit into Savings DISCOVER BANK ending XXXX Sent to your checking account on XX/XX/XXXX. 
Promo APR 0 % Promo Expires XX/XX/XXXX {$7000.00} Deposit into Savings DISCOVER BANK ending XXXX Sent to your checking account on XX/XX/XXXX. 
Promo : APR 0 % Promo Expires XX/XX/XXXX My problem and issue is this : I have two {$7000.00} Balance Tranfers that will be expiring their 0 % APR on XXXX and XX/XX/XXXX In order to off set the high Interest rate of 17.99 % that I will be charged when the 0 % APR expires. 
I took out another Balance Transfer on XX/XX/XXXX in the amount of {$3900.00} at 6.99 % for 15 months in order to pay off the oldest loan expiring on XX/XX/XXXX Much to my distress is upon requesting an update on my loans balances, I find out that Discover had taken the {$3900.00} payment that I send and applied the payment to the newest loan instead of the oldest loans. In essence they took the payment of {$3900.00} and paid off the new loan of {$3900.00} in full by XX/XX/XXXX. 

Here 's is the update of my Balance transfers owing : CHAT MESSAGE XX/XX/XXXX Hello XXXX! This is XXXX in XXXX XXXX XXXX. I would be happy to help you today with an update of your balances. The balance ( s ) disclosed is as of today XX/XX/XXXX Balance transfer - Expires XXXX XXXX, balance of $ XXXX 0 % APR Balance transfer - Expires XXXX XXXX balance of $ XXXX 0 % APR Balance transfer -Expires XXXX XXXX balance of {$0.00} - 6.99 % APR Here 's my Payment History : Payment Date ; Amount XX/XX/XXXX {$1000.00} XX/XX/XXXX {$400.00} XX/XX/XXXX {$600.00} XX/XX/XXXX {$1600.00} XX/XX/XXXX {$1200.00} -- This Payment was also applied right away to the loan of XX/XX/XXXX I have been notifying Discover Credit Department of their error in applying my payments. I have always understood that the oldest Balance Transfer will be paid first. 
I believe that they have deceived me and dishonored their agreement by taking my payments and paying off a loan which they agreed to give me 15 months to pay back. This will give me undue stress when I have to start paying the high Interest after XX/XX/XXXX In order to resolve this issue is for Discover Bank to honor their agreement and apply my payments to the oldest loans first. 
Thank you, Sincerely, XXXX XXXX
Complaint sub-issue: Investigation took more than 30 days

i have linked the previous response the company XXXX XXXXXXXX XXXX XXXX said in the last CFPB complaint for reference which I find unsuitable. The company stated I was willing to pay them for a debt i have no knowledge of and ill and wrongfully stating to have sent me proof of validation on XX/XX/22 when that is false they have not sent me proof of ( proper ) validation regards to the FDCPA, XXXX and the FCRA including a breakdown of all fees including all collection as well as medical charges. To claim i owe them and not provide proof of the listed validation, contract they claim to have with my signature of agreement to pay them ( they claim ) is absurd. They will not be receiving any funds from me till their claims are proved to be correct. They don't even have my real address which is also proof they are just throwing things onto people 's credit and I will not tolerate this and they have no consent to add anything back onto my report till they prove their claims to me and they have a duty to prove proper reporting to me not the other way around. The company even took more than 30 days to response till i made the CFPB complaint which also is in violation of the law which I will also bring to me to court as evidence of the predatory practices if they so choose to feel the need to report onto my credit report again after mentioning to them him they have no consent till they provide ( PROPER REQUESTED EVIDENCE OF THE ITEMS LISTED ABOVE ). XXXX and equifax I will also hold accountable for sitting back, seeing this happening and deciding to stay out of it when you have a duty to report accurate information and you are not just as well as they do ( XXXX XXXX XXXX inc )

I have been disputing directly with the credit bureaus, as well as with the original creditor on the way a charge off is being reported on my credit profile.The charge off is from a voluntary repossession. The account reported has multiple inaccuracies and inconsistencies that Violate my rights as a consumer. The way this has been reported improperly on my credit profile for the past 2 years, has hurt my ability to obtain new credit. I requested removal of this account after I noticed that the balance was factually incorrect. I asked the credit bureaus to complete a full investigation of the true balance of this account, everything came back as Verified, and my dispute was closed. I asked the original creditor to send me documents that support the balance that they are reporting, because I had gap coverage for this vehicle in my contract, furthermore the vehicle was sold at Auction in 2019 and I asked them to furnish me the receipt of sale. The creditor responded saying ( In Writing ) They had no way to alternate the way they report, and any discrepancies should be filed with the Credit Bureaus to dispute. I then went back to the Credit Bureaus and disputed the account ( this time with proof attached ) due to inaccurate monthly payment. The account has been closed for 2 years, but still shows a monthly payment due of XXXX XXXX The results came back as Verified, no changes were made, My dispute was closed. I even disputed online and attached proof to the dispute that my Term Length and being reported inconsistently between the 3 Bureaus, XXXX shows Monthly, XXXX48 months, and Equifax-bi-weekly. 
Still no changes were made. In fact, a credit dispute specialist Modified my dispute 's reason, so they would not have to reopen the investigation in light of the new information given. ( I have proof of this ). 
The credit Bureaus have failed to do a thorough and reasonable investigation, and simply parrot information from the Original Creditor. Even though, the Original Credit has been reporting inconsistently between them, and Inaccurate Information.

XXXX XXXX XX/XX/XXXX states XXXX and XXXX subgroups were in a disaster forbearance that was retroactively applied from XX/XX/XXXX thru XX/XX/XXXX.
