Company: EQUIFAX, INC. (FL)

I had a XXXX XXXX XXXXXXXX. I canceled it in person years ago. Apparently they didn't cancel it and the money for auto renew kept being taken from my account and I didn't notice as it was only XXXX a year. The original bank that held the card got bought out by XXXX  XXXX. They activated a new line of credit without my approval. This has damaged my credit as they also charged a new bjs membership and it went deliquent. When we tried to explain and requested they take the deliquent reporting off they said they may do something after 90 days. This puts me in jeopardy of not getting a good loan on a roof replacement caused directly by them when I have no other derogatory remarks on my credit history. It took them over an hour to even accept it might be a fraudulent zombie account. They kept stating it isn't fraud because I agreed to a XXXX in XXXX. The original card expired in XXXX and I have never seen any other card.

I previously sent a letter to address the errors and unknown items on my credit report, but unfortunately, I have not received a response even after XXXX  days. It seems like my disputes are being overlooked and I feel taken advantage of. As per Section 611 ( a ), if these items are not investigated within 30 days, they should be promptly removed from my credit report. Since the deadline has passed, I expect these accounts to be updated without delay. If not, I may have to take legal action due to the stress this situation has caused me. Moreover, my information was impacted by the Equifax, XXXX, and XXXX data breach, which raises concerns about the security of my personal data.

To do what is fair to me as a consumer, delete and update my credit report as they are reporting inaccurate information that I have made them aware of but still keep reporting!

Please be advised that this is my SECOND WRITTEN REQUEST for them to remove the unverified accounts listed below that remain on my credit report in violation of 15 U.S.C. 1681. The unverified items listed below remain on my credit report in violation of Federal Law. You are required under the FCRA to have a copy of the original creditors documentation on file to verify that this information is mine and is correct. In the results of your first investigation, you stated in writing that you verified that these items are being reported correctly. 
Who in your company verified these accounts? How did they verify them? Please provide me with the name of the individual, business address and telephone number of the person or business contacted during your reinvestigation. Also, why did you not send me copies of the verification like I asked? 
As I am sure you are well aware, current case law states that Consumer Reporting Agencies bear grave responsibilities to ensure the accuracy of the accounts they report on and their responsibility must consist of something more than merely parroting information received from other sources. The courts have ordered that a Reinvestigation that merely shifts the burden back to the consumer and the credit grantor can not fulfill the obligations proposed by 1681 ( a ) ( 4 ).

You have NOT provided me a copy of ANY original documentation required under Section 609 ( a ) ( 1 ) ( A ) & Section 611 ( a ) ( 1 ) ( A ) ( a consumer contract with my signature on it ) and under Section 611 ( 5 ) ( A ) of the FCRA you are required to ... promptly DELETE all information which can not be verified.

The law is very clear as to the Civil liability and the remedy available to me for negligent noncompliance ( Section 617 ) if you fail to comply. I am a litigious consumer and fully intend on pursuing litigation in this matter to enforce my rights under the FCRA.

I demand the following accounts be verified or deleted immediately.

Creditor 1 XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX  * Please remove all non-account holding inquiries over 30 days old. Also and place a suppression on my credit.

Despite the multiple previous written requests, the unverified items listed below still remains on my credit report in violation of Federal Law. You are required under the FCRA to have a copy of the original creditor documentation on file to verify that this information is 100 % true, accurate & correct. In the results of your first investigation and subsequent reinvestigation ( s ), you stated in writing that you verifiedthat these items are being reported correctly? Who verified these items? You have NOT provided me a copy of ANY original documentation ( a consumer contract with my signature on it ) as required under Section 609 ( a ) ( 1 ) ( A ) & Section 611 ( a ) ( 1 ) ( A ). Furthermore, you have failed to provide the method of verification as required under Section 611 ( a ) ( 7 ). Please be advised that under Section 611 ( a ) ( 5 ) ( A ) of the FCRA you are required to ... promptly CORRECT or DELETE all information which can not be verified. Section 616 and Section 617 provide me with a remedy which Im about to seek. You are willful non-complying with the FCRA. Since you claim youve verified the items listed below I wanted to confirm my thoughts and contacted the company directly. They did not provide me with any verifiable proof. So, my question comes up again, WHO VERIFIED THESE ITEMS? I believe you have not verified these items based on Section 609 ( a ) ( 1 ) ( A ) & Section 611 ( a ) ( 1 ) ( A ) & I will be seeking a legal remedy. XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXXXXXX

DESCRIPTION OF COMPLAINT : This is a formal complaint against Equifax located in XXXX XXXX XXXX, XXXX, XXXX. This company has repeatedly violated my consumer rights under the Fair Credit Reporting Act and has caused me much unnecessary XXXX  XXXX XXXX  distress. For starters, they're reporting an erroneous & unverifiable account on my credit report and not to mention an account in which I've asked for proof of claim and in which they have not been able to provide, per the FCRA. Despite my efforts to resolve this unfortunate nightmare for several months now, Equifax has completely ignored my communications and legal submissions to remove this inaccurate information from my credit report. I am well aware of the many, many other complaints filed against this company for their illegal and unethical business. Yet, somehow, this company is still in business. This company 's unprofessional & negligent behavior has caused lots of serious harm, not only to my ability to establish credit & good interest rates, but also to my character as a XXXX and as an individual. Please help me, and the many other consumers just like me, to put a stop to the operation of these unethical & immoral business practices immediately. I sincerely appreciate your time and assistance in this matter and hope to hear from you very soon.

Issue: Managing an account — Problem using a debit or ATM card
Company: BANK OF AMERICA, NATIONAL ASSOCIATION (CA)

On XX/XX/XXXX, I received a email notification saying that my banking information was changed via my online banking account for my BofA account. I also got an email notification that somehow, my debit card info was added to another account not related to me. Later on in the day, {$1400.00} was moved out of my account and I immediately called BofA on XX/XX/XXXX. I stated that money was moved out of my account that was not mine as the account numbers were not any I owned and the representative told me that my email was in fact changed and someone had my login credentials and thats how they were able to move money out of my account. I told them I wanted my information changed and they helped me. They opened a claim and said I would get a letter notifying me of the outcome. 

On XX/XX/XXXX, I received a letter notifying me that BofA deemed the transaction legit and was done by me when it was not. Even when I told them that the account number it was sent to was not mine and to check the IP addresses that were used to see where it came from as XXXX sure everything done is digitally recorded, I was still deemed liable for fraud that was done on my account. 

On XX/XX/XXXX, I called and asked for information as to why my claim was denied and the representative told me that BofA deemed it was I who did the transfer. When I reiterated the information I had ( emails I got, logs, etc ) they told me I had to wait 30 days from the day the letter was created to refile a reconsideration. I had to wait until XX/XX/XXXX to do that. 

On XX/XX/XXXX, I called again to put in my reconsideration and was told that the previous representative that helped me failed to even note down on my file what I said and gave me false information saying that I had to wait a month to file for a reconsideration. 

I am still without my {$1400.00} that was taken away from me due to fraud. BofA has been previously found negligent in protecting their consumers prepaid cards and have been sued already for it. They do not honor their policy of zero liability for fraud and do not protect their consumers. I have already began preparing documents to serve BofA in small claims court if they deny by reconsideration. I have done my due diligence by calling to put in claims in an orderly fashion, gathering information, and giving relevant information.
