Equifax mishandled my personal information including Name, Social Security #, Address, Birthdate,  etc. resulting in a data breach in XXXX/XX/XX/XXXX that they confirmed I was affected by per their " Potential Impact '' site www.equifaxsecurity2017.com. They have put myself and millions of others at risk of identity theft/fraud due to negligent security protocols in handling consumer information. They are further attempting to capitalize on the situation by signing injured parties THEY are responsible for up for " trial periods '' of their ID protection services. 

They are simultaneously defrauding these injured parties with hidden terms of service that waive their right to sue the company in what is clearly a situation of criminal negligence/fraudulent behavior as indicated by the three Equifax executives that dumped stock immediately prior to the data breach announcement.
In addition to calling the # I gave, which is my cell, they also called me at work today and took a long time to finally tell me who they were. This was for my husband 's debt, who is currently at a stage XXXX XXXX XXXX and can not work. I told him why he nor I can pay the debt is due to XXXX and he was completely rude and said that he is marking it as refusal to pay. He also made a reference that they can take legal action. 

the name of this Debt Collector - Insight Management XXXX The name of the rude agent - XXXX XXXX
Approximately 1 year ago my credit score was about XXXX with a XXXX Major Credit Reporting Bureaus. After I made inquiries and disputes with all XXXX Major Credit Reporting Bureaus XXXX and XXXX Made appropriate adjustment and or deletions and my credit score was raised to XXXX by both XXXX and XXXX. Trans Union however dropped or reduced my credit score to XXXX. 

I believe the score is wrong and I am seeking its adjustment.
I had been a XXXX XXXX XXXX customer for years and always was on time with my payments. I always made on time payments. 

I have a few car accidents on me which made things difficult for me at work and as a result I lost my job. 

My last purchase was about {$50.00} and due to life hardships, I was unable to pay my last balance of only {$50.00}. 

I started to received very intimidating calls in behalf of this balance and was told that I needed to speak to a lawyer and that they will take legal actions. 

Unfortunately, I was unemployed by this moment. 

Since I had 3 car accidents things got very complicated financially and couldn't afford to pay this debt. 

As a result, they started to report my debt and the balance went from {$50.00} to over {$310.00}
I disputed this debt at the end of XX/XX/XXXX, they sent a letter dated XX/XX/XXXX saying they are investigating the matter and they need additional information from me. However, there should no additional information required from me, if they decided to report inappropriately on my credit report. Another letter was received dated XX/XX/XXXX saying their investigation proofs the debt is valid. I sent a debt validation letter dated XX/XX/XXXX requesting validation of the debt and not verification. The letter was received XX/XX/XXXX and I have yet to receive the requested documentation. They are unable to comply with FDCPA as I have have to right to request validation of the debt you say I owe you.
PayPal opened a credit account without my permission. The charges on the account were paid on a Visa or MC credit card linked to PayPal. I tried to call PayPal to no avail. I wrote letters and sent them copies of the other credit card bills showing the charges there. They removed all charges except {$35.00}, which they insisted I owed, in spite of the proof that it was paid on another account. I have written to the Consumer Advocate for Pennsylvania but PayPal will not relinquish this {$35.00} charge. They have added penalties and now say I owe them {$120.00}! 
I have tried to do everything in good faith but they have continued to harass me, reporting this to XXXX collection agencies. This is honestly not about the money. I am not paying for something I do not legitimately owe. I am XXXX years old and have always paid my bills. I do n't know where else to turn for help.
On XX/XX/XXXX my XXXX account was hacked and I was billed for a XXXX   XXXX, for {$590.00}. I immediately disputed the charge with Chase Bank and XXXX. However, after no investigation, where all Chase got was the statement that the billing address and shipping address matched and therefore it was a valid charge. 

I never authorized the charge and it seems like Chase did little to no investigation.
Our Mortgage  Stateme  nt for   XXXX   XXXX   XXXX   h ad went up by {$620.00}. Calle d    XXXX   XXXX   to find out it was due to our escrow account the taxes portion. For  XXXX  our home was listed as an income property which made the taxes to up significantly by  XXXX . On    XXXX   XXXX   XXXX   I went to  the tax accesor office to correct this issue. I received a copy of the corrected tax amount with my tax number. I was advised to send the copy to ditec h Mortage to have this issue corrected as well to lower my mortgage to the correct amount. The amoun t copy was sent to ditech mortgage on    XXXX   XXXX   XXXX  . After speaking with the escrow department I was advised to give them 21 day 's to correct th is issue as well for the month of  XXXX  I will still have to pay the {$1800.00}. Which I paid on time. Now for the month of  XXXX  this issue almost 60 day 's later has still not been resolved. On    XXXX   XXXX   XXXX   I  contacte d Ditech Mortgage a gain regarding this issue. Also sent the exact same paper again dated  XXXX   XXXX ,  XXXX .  Currently Ditech M ortgage wants another 21 day 's to correct this same issue. Financially I am in able to afford to pay another an extra {$620.00} For a third month. I have attempted to speak with management in the escrow department 3 times. Which no one is ever available to speak with. I have requested and waited for a return call back fr om Management and I have not received one. I have also contacted the county as was advised that a check has been sent to Ditech  regarding the over payment dated    XXXX   XXXX   XXXX  . I   gave  ditech Mortgage the check number, bulk amount and as well as the amount that was issued for my account.
XXXX Bank sold my charged off acct to Portfolio Recovery Assocs. Portfolio Assocs ruined my repaired credit using using illegal attempts to collect the wrong amount. I filed a complaint with your ( CFPB ) company and Portfolio will only reply with the same XXXX inaccurate statements that they received from XXXX. There is a court order against XXXX and XXXX was to apply credits to qualified XXXX acct holders accounts. XXXX spun off from XXXX and acquired many accounts of which XXXX was to apply the deductions. XXXX DID NOT apply deductions to my charged off account and when I called again on XXXX/XXXX/XXXX @ XXXX, I was advised by the below identified XXXX Bank Associate that I would not be able to get any eligibility information concerning the CFPB Order against XXXX XXXX XXXX unless I called Portfolio Recovery Associates. How? XXXX has the account information. Portfolio only has XXXX statements with the incorrect amount on them. Not providing information regarding deductions in relation to the court order on a qualified account is a violation of the court order ; less more selling the account under an incorrect amount. I am attaching my credit report of XXXX XXXX, XXXX which reads correct charge off amount of {$1700.00} not {$1900.00} as requested by Portfolio Recovery Assocs. This report also shows proof of payments totaling {$650.00} that had not been deducted from the {$1700.00} which would leave a balance of {$1100.00}. I had this account since XXXX of XXXX. What about the interest from those years? I have suffered great damage under Portfolio 's attack on m credit. My score has fallen XXXX points on XXXX and XXXX on XXXX. Please help.
on XX/XX/XXXX at about XXXX est, there was a bitcoin sent from a third party to a bitcoin address i provided. the transaction has been confirmed on blockchain and three weeks later coinbase has still not deposited said monies to my coinbase wallet. i sent several emails to coinbase asking where funds were. the first two responses were computer generated and referred me back to their website. after sending the third email on saturdayXX/XX/XXXX, i received an email stating as follows : " Hi there, Thanks for reaching out. Having investigated the issue, I am working with a specialist to address it properly. We will follow-up with you as soon as we have an update. 

Thank you for your patience. '' their customer support site had a message up that stated they were experiencing delays since mid XXXX. however, today that message simply says that the only delays are involving id document verification. this would have me believe that previous delays were handled. however, i checked my account today and my deposit still does not appear.
I feel my reported credit score is incorrect. My complaint is with Equifax. Equifax provides credit scores to XXXX. Two months ago, XX/XX/2018, my credit score was XXXX. In late XX/XX/XXXX the score was reduced to XXXX. I called Equifax to question why my score was reduced. I was told it was reduced because I did not have multiple types of credit. I was told I need a montage payment or a personal loan. 

I find this absolutely ridiculous. I have not had a mortgage in over 10 years. I am retired and I have paid off all of my debts. I have had the same credit card for over 30 years, and I always pay the balance each month. 

I informed Equifax, they needed to change their method of calculating credit scores. This is very unfair to penalize citizens for managing their finances and paying off their debt. 

Again, there is nothing negative on my credit, all of my bills are paid off monthly. I have had this outstanding payment history for over 30 years. I need some one to tell me why my credit is simply good and not excellent. Forcing an individual to get into debt to get an excellent rating is wrong and very unfair.
As an American who has used credit in the past, I was more than likely part of the Equifax credit information hack. I find it unacceptable that I have to PAY to freeze my credit when I did n't consent to my information being stored by Equifax, XXXX, or XXXX in the first place. Congress should make credit freezes and unfreezes free federally, and through a central service that applies the freeze throughout the ecosystem rather than requiring consumers to waste time contacting each individual agency. Credit reporting agencies already make money off of my information and I should not be required to pay them additional money to protect my information, especially when they are doing a POOR job in the first place. Thank you for taking time to read my complaint.
I believe that I was a victim of the " inquiry issue ''. When I called in the gentleman in customer service was very rude. I asked to be transferred to a XXXX rep and he refused. I received no help from the rep to resolve my issue. I just want these inquires removed from my report ASAP!

On  XXXX   XXXX ,    2017  American Express Centurion Bank a nd American Express Serve  fraudulently filed a chargeback dispute in my name, WITHOUT my permission, for a transaction (  XXXX   XXXX ,  2017  ) that I authorized OVER 90 Days ago. They filed the dispute with  XXXX  stating, in my name, stating that I did not recognize the transaction which is an absolute lie as I signed my name to it. Also there is a statue of limitations and the transactions that they are disputing in my name took place more than 3 months ago. They refuse to cancel the dispute that I did NOT authorize nor file.
I have sent a debt validation notices to the creditor and only receive a verification of the debt instead of a validation of the debt. As per FCRA, a credit is supposed to respond with the original creditors name, address, and account number and not report to the credit bureaus nor attempt to collect until they have responded. 

However, the creditor did not send the required information and is still reporting to the credit bureaus, which is in violation of the FCRA. My next step is to contact a consumer protection attorney unless the matter is resolved here.
As of today XXXX XXXX,2018 I logged into my XXXX XXXX account to find an open collection notice from an unknown lender and collection company known as XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX. I had not taken out any payday loans. I believe I am I victim of fraudulent or scam activity two different reports between my XXXX and XXXX report state comments as reason to collect a debt and medical which I knew is a fallacy as I am a XXXX XXXX  and medical bills are covered indefinitely i did multiple research on the phone number and company and seen this has happend to multiple people. I am a single mom and XXXX looking at getting into a stable living environment this open collection account is going to effect this negatively. Id also like to note I never received a notice to dispute the debt prior to being sent to collections or a notice from the collection agency. Id like this to be resolved I will attach multiple forms of proof verifying my claims and other reports of this company being a scam. I fear for the safety of my identity also this is affecting my life.
hi, i just check my credit report 2 days ago From Equifax and i find a collection charge in the amount of XXXX dollars, From '' XXXX XXXX XXXX '' this charge does not belong to me and also an account from XXXX XXXX does n't belong to me
I have been battling my mortgage company ( XXXX XXXX ) for almost two years now. Last year they assessed fees on my account for what they claimed to be related to them having contractors perform maintenance on the residence. We were in the process on doing construction on the property when they came out and changed the locks. One day we came home and actually found people in the home who claimed to have been sent by the mortgage company. We called the police and filed a report and the men in the home were ordered to leave. Afterwards we called the mortgage company to find out exactly what was going on and they thought the home was vacant and that we needed to provide utility bills to show that we were still living in the residence ( which we did ). Shortly afterwards we starting noticing that our monthly statement included misc fees that no one could explain to us. I called several times and spoke to several people over several months, but never got any resolution. The mortgage company claimed that the fees were from their contractors coming out and doing repairs to the property and maintenance. This was a totally fabricated story because we paid to have repairs done to the property and lawn maintained ( which can be proven with receipts from the service providers ). As of today 's date they are threatening foreclosure, not due to the fact that we haven't paid but because of their wrongful fees that they've assessed to the account. I would like to keep the home that I've owned for over 10 years now and need some help fighting this company.

I have reached out to this company several of times to work out an agreement to take care of this matter in which they refused to accept my payment agreement, which is a violation of FDCPA. I 've tried to settle with this company being that this debt is old, and still to no avail they denied to work with me, but continue to report this old debt on my credit which has reached the statue of limitations. This debt is XXXX XXXX XXXX and it 's still being reported on my credit. I am giving this company XXXX days to accurately update my credit report with the deletion of this item, if not I will be speaking with an attorney to pursue legally with an lawsuit.
Dear Sir /Madam : This is Notice of a Direct Dispute with you, under the provisions of FCRA 623 ( a ) ( 8 ) ( D ), of the accuracy of information you have posted to my credit file. On a few separate occasions I have disputed with all three credit bureaus XXXX, Transunion, and XXXX pertaining to a credit card with XXXX XXXXXXXX XXXX acct # for the date of last activity, payment history, status and the dispute was returned verified. After some further investigation on my part, I am also concerned that the account you credited my payment to may not belong to me, and/or the reporting to XXXX, XXXX and Transunion may be inaccurate. In compliance with FCRA 623 ( a ) ( 8 ) ( D ), and enacting regulations published at 74 Fed Reg 31484 ( July 1, 2009 ), this Notice includes : Identification of the specific information being disputed I am enclosing both my payment for $ which you can see deducted from my account and my payment for $ both which were clearly deducted from my bank account, however xxxx is not reflected in my online payment statements. 

I have called XXXX XXXX several times trying to rectify this matter and only getting people giving me several different fax numbers to which I have set my bank account statements. I have also spent numerous days and hours on the phone with reps that have kept me on hold only to tell me the payment went to someone else in the household or another account. 

This is not possible. I am a single mom of a XXXX year old little girl and the only card I have from XXXX XXXX is the card ending in xxxx. If you look on the credit bureaus reflect on of payments they also show that XXXX has been paid. Yet my credit has been impacted to the sum of -30 points for an error that is not mine. 

I have made all of my payments on time for years and you can clearly see that in my account. The credit agencies also have the XX/XX/2018 payment checked off as paid yet are reporting a 30-60 day late payment. 

I am asking that this matter be resolved. 

Please feel free to contact me. 

Thank you
On XX/XX/2018 I receive a letter from XXXX XXXX about a debt they said I owed. I have no accounting of such a debt being owed to them or the original creditor. So I sent the a Debt Validation letter via Certified mail on XX/XX/2018 and was signed and delivered on XX/XX/2018. To which I never received any response and then today I go onto my credit report on XX/XX/2018 and see that they have been added to my credit files XXXX XXXX, XXXX, and XXXX. According to the law they can not report a debt that they never sent a validation for. When I received the letter I sent certified mail a validation letter which they ignored. Now by placing this debt on my credit file they are breaking Federal Law. I expect this to be removed immediately seeing as they are violating FCRA and Federal Law. 

On top of all this then when I submitted a complaint via CFPB they had the audacity to say that I must have been looking at an inquiry on my credit report and that they had NOT reported it to the credit bureaus. ( see attached ) Which very clearly they have as you can see from the attached documentation of my credit file. 

Once again I expect this to be deleted from my credit file ASAP.
I have an auto loan with  Capital One Auto Finance.  I n     XXXX   XXXX   2016 I ra n into a financial hardship. I normally pay my auto loan from   XXXX  of   XXXX    accounts connected to  Capital One 's  back office. However, both of these accounts were unable to cover my outstanding balance. My auto loan payment is approximately {$550.00} per month and I had an outstanding balance of {$100.00}. I To cover this balance and prevent my account from falling into delinquent status, I connected another account. However, during the process I inaccurately entered the account information causing the {$100.00} payment to be returned. After realizing this error, I submitted a payment of {$100.00} to correct the error. However,  Capital One  reported my account as 30 days late to the credit bureaus, which has adversely affected m y credit score.      I reached out to  Capital One via  phone and explained my situation to the representative who assured me they would look into my account.  Little did I  know they would only be submitted a dispute to the bureaus, which prompted an inquiry by Capital One and confirmation of the delinquency on my record. This is not what I was trying to initiate, as I understand that it was user error on my part that caused the issue.     I wanted  Capital One to r emove the delinquency in  Good Faith  as I corrected the issue and have never been late on my payment with them before. In addition, I have a previously paid off loan with  Cap One. So  after not receiving any assistance I reached out to the   Executive Office via email.
A representative with the executive office called me and assured they would look into the situation and call me back within 48 hour  s with a resolution. They did not ... I had to call again and a rep informed me that they would not be able to assist and that  Capital One DID NOT issue Good Faith corrections. This is false, as there are many examples of Capital One  working with their customers who have run into hardships. So I do n't understand why they would take a hard line with someone who uses both their auto and credit card services faithfully.     After receiving the turndown via phone, I reached out by mail to express my displeasure with their service and received a form letter stating that they would no longer be able to assist me in the process. Thi s one mistake on my part has lowered my credit score by over   XXXX   points. I am highly  disappointed as longterm customer and would appreciate a bit of commonsense and fairness with my situation.
My child received an offer, in his name, with my address but the wrong zip code to get a payment card. My child is not working and is not age XXXX to receive a credit report. I'm concerned about why & where this company received his name and why they are sending him these offers. I'm also concerned about identity theft of my child 's identity.
XXXX and Transunion are reporting incorrectly that I am 120 days past due on a loan with the XXXX - partial account numberXXXX. This account reflects a {$0.00} balance and a {$0.00} past due. I have contacted the two bureaus and requested these coding errors be corrected. This incorrect reporting is harming my credit score. It is impossible to be past due on accounts that have a {$0.00} balance and {$0.00} past due.
In XXXX, after careful review Randolph, Boyd, Cherry & Vaughn Law firm   gave me written notice that it is no longer within the legal confines to collect this debt as per the State of Virginia Statute of Limitations after I objected to their collection attempts on this timebarred debt with XXXX XXXX XXXX. There was a judgment obtained for this debt in the State of New Jersey, XXXX County in XXXX, approximately 10 years later, in XX/XX/XXXX the law firm obtained a judgment in the State of Virginia  XXXX County of XXXX. A XXXX XXXX was delivered to my place of employment dated XX/XX/XXXX although the debt is no longer valid. This debt is over XXXX XXXX XXXX and per the Law in the State of Virginia it is over the Statute of Limitations.
