Product: Credit reporting, credit repair services, or other personal consumer reports — Credit reporting
Issue: Problem with a credit reporting company's investigation into an existing problem — Their investigation did not fix an error on your report
Company: EQUIFAX, INC. (NY)

Im submitting this complaint against XXXX, Equifax, and XXXX  due to their total disregard for my consumer rights under the FCRA/FCBA/FDCPA. For several months now, I've been disputing inaccurate and unverifiable information showing up on my credit report by this company. I have requested intimate information about the alleged accounts, including a copy of an agreement with my signature on it, but I have yet to receive anything. These companies continue to electronically verify these " ghost '' accounts without providing any legally binding evidence, such as a signed contract and complete accounting of the record, as required by law. They're clearly lying and thus the reason Im asking for proof. However, these companies refuse to provide it, which is not right and is not compliant with the FCRA/FDCPA. Im absolutely fed up. My life has been in complete ruin as a result of this. It's causing enormous mental and financial distress, preventing me from getting approved from credit that I am rightfully entitled to, and not to mention the ample amount of time that I must take out to try and resolve this matter myself. This has brought a great deal of harm to my family as a whole as well. Ive just had enough! Please help! I hope to hear from you soon.

I received a phone call from XXXX on XX/XX/2021. The lady said her name was XXXX and calling from XXXX XXXX in regards to a debt they claimed I had with a bank I closed my account with over 8 years ago. She repeatedly interrupted me claimed they were going to contact the local police. They were going to have a judge hold me in contempt, serve me with some kind of papers, close my current bank accounts and restrict me from having any bank accounts in the future. After going back and forth trying to speak and get information to be sent to me she just kept interrupting me before she hung up on me. I called the local police department they asked me some questions. Asked if I could try and call them back to get the full name of the company. When I did somehow the same lady answered and said they were going to call the police for harassment to a business. Refused to give me the name of the company or any other I formation. Then today XX/XX/2021 the same lady called my girfriends phone threatening her the same way. Refusing to shut up so my girlfriend could talk. Basically the same things that happened to me the day before. I called the local police station again only to be told there is really nothing they can do..

Company: AMERICAN EXPRESS COMPANY (NJ)

On XX/XX/2021, I am a NJ resident, and I purchased a used vehicle and warranty from a dealer in PA. I put the down payment of XXXX on my American Express and completed the paperwork to pay via auto loan. I had the car for a week ( XX/XX/XXXX ) and was actually on my way to the XXXX XXXX XXXX vehicles when the car shut down in the middle of traffic. This nearly caused another car to hit me in the back. I was able to get the car towed to a XXXX dealership and found that the car had a recently replaced lever which was seated improperly and therefore the axel needed to be replaced. They also found metal in the transmission and advised me it would cost XXXX to replace. 
I contacted the dealer and asked them to take back the car and to cancel the deal. ( This was all through texts which I still have. ) Initially they refused and I called American Express and reported the purchase as a dispute since items were not sold to me in the condition promised. When the dealer received notice of my dispute, he agreed to take the car back and to cancel the auto loan deal. They sent me proof of this, and I forwarded this info to American Express. 
First, American Express returned the funds to the dealer stating the dealer advised them I had no warranty. When I resubmitted the complaint and provided the same proof again and confirmed they received it, they reopened the complaint. 
A few weeks later they gave the funds back again claiming they have no proof that I no longer had the vehicle. When I sent in proof showing I no longer had the vehicle they reopened the complaint again. 
A few weeks later they closed the complaint again and sent the funds to the dealer again claiming I did not allow the dealer to get the car when I first filed a complaint. I submitted more proof showing them text between the dealer and myself proving I asked the dealer to take back the car repeatedly and the dealer only agreed after I submitted my dispute with American Express. 
During this whole back and forth, I also uncovered the XXXX which also showed the dealer lied about the mileage on the car. I also submitted this proof to American Express. 
At this point they are just wasting my time. I believe this credit card company is finding in favor of the dealer because the dealer advised me, he was a black card holder with American Express and had been with them for a long time. He brought this up unprompted when I presented my American Express for down payment. 
It makes no sense that I am expected to pay American Express for a vehicle I do not own or have in my possession. The car was taken back and the auto loan was cancelled and I proved the vehicle was not in a condition congruent with used car laws of PA.
