Hi. I have sent many different verification letters to the credit bureaus in regards to the inaccuracies across my credit report. I told the credit bureaus that there are inaccuracies in names, addresses and companies that I did not recognize as well as inaccuracies in the dates across the board. All of the credit bureaus, for the last XXXX months have verified this information. Until this day none of the dates are aligned so how can you say you verified the information. 

In accordance with the Fair Credit Reporting act XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXXXXXX ( not all account numbers are accurate board, XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX reporting duplicate as well ), have violated my rights 15 U.S.C 1681 section 602 A. States I have a right to privacy.

We have been dealing with Equifax for over a month now when we found out that our sons Social security number is tied to someone elses name through them. He can not get a school loan, job or credit card because if they do a identity check through any credit bureau it flags as fraud/comes up that he doesnt exist and that his name is tied to another person. I called the SS office and there is nothing wrong on their end. Our sons number is fine according to their records. Equifax told us that we needed to fax over documentation ( license, SS card, cover letter etc ) to prove his identity and we would hear back in 5-10 days that it was rectified. Weve done that on XX/XX/XXXX and again on XX/XX/XXXX and they claim they never got it and/or their fax machine is broken. So we mailed it on XX/XX/XXXX and they said they never got it. We finally sent it certified mail on XX/XX/XXXX and they received it on XX/XX/XXXX and have records from the post office that they signed for it. They are still saying they didnt get it and that we need to send it again. They claim they have no email or any other way to receive it which I find totally unacceptable as it is XXXX. We have spoken to 12 people ( all overseas at a call center ), 4 supervisors, 2 who have hung up on us and have spent countless hours trying to rectify this for our son. They claim that they deal with an overload of documents and have no idea where they couldve gone 4 times???!!!! We have done EVERYTHING they have asked us to do. He can not do anything and is at their mercy. We do not know what to do next besides reporting them to the XXXX XXXX XXXX attorney general and seeking legal action. No one there knows what is going on and they keep reading from a script are are clueless and unhelpful. We are beyond angry and frustrated and do not know where to go from here. My sons whole financial aspect of life is being held up and affected by Equifax and they are continually giving us the run around. It is totally unacceptable.

This is not a duplicate nor is this complaint filed by a third party. I am filing this complaint myself. Please see this complaint is processed to the letter of the law. Regardless of the multiple written requests, the unverified public record listed below is still presenting in my credit report in violation of federal law. I'm telling you once again that I did not file for bankruptcy. This is an attorney error. I had a consultation with a bankruptcy attorney but declined to move forward. The attorney filed without my authorization or expressed permission. I was told this was resolved then found a bankruptcy on my credit report! I never filed. I never went through bankruptcy. Please remove it immediately.

This is my sixth endeavor to inform the Credit Bureaus that I was a victim of identity theft and I complain to question specific accounts in my document coming about because of the wrongdoing. The last letter I sent to Experian was XX/XX/XXXX. The accounts I am questioning connect with no exchanges acquiring any possession of goods, services or money that I have made or authorized. The Experian Credit Bureau took no action in order to remove the fraudulent accounts from my credit file and became non-compliant of the FCRA section 605b. Experian continued reporting these accounts without conducting proper verification which in many ways is a violation of the Federal Law : the Fair Credit Reporting Act. Assuming no one cares either way, block the noteworthy of any information in my credit record that came about due to the Theft of my Identity. I am submitting this complaint so that Experian would take action and remove the following accounts completely from my Credit report : ( XXXX  XXXX XXXX Opened : XX/XX/XXXX Balance : {$0.00} and XXXX XXXX Date Opened : XX/XX/XXXX Balance : {$0.00} )

Company: ALLY FINANCIAL INC. (ID)

Over the last 3 months Ally Bank has repeatedly issued me debit cards that had fraudulent transactions against them before activation, or with minimal use and no disclosure of the card. I've spent about 3 hours total with them on the phone attempting to resolve these issues, the resolution being getting a new card issued, which then gets fraudulent charges on it before I have used, and this latest time, even received it. Why would I dare activate it on arrival if this problem is going to continue? I am currently out about {$160.00} while I wait for them to dismiss one of the charges that somehow triggered their fraud prevention but was approved anyway. I discussed that amount with an agent, who was very friendly, but didn't seem empowered to do anything to reverse it that I couldn't do on the website - she tried and it " didn't work '' - and I'm still waiting for my money back after having done it myself. 

Additionally, Ally 's fraud prevention department 's calling system calls from a number that is not shown on the card, which if called, asks for personal information without any proof that the caller is not the fraudulent party in the first place. People say to only call the number on the back of the card- why would a bank call from such a number? I explained this to an agent as well, but I think perhaps this is more of a concern for consumer protection folks than one of their agents. This is completely unacceptable practice in this day and age.
