Issue: Improper use of your report — Credit inquiries on your report that you don't recognize
Company: Experian Information Solutions Inc. (FL)

In XXXX of 2022, we received a FRAUD ALERT FROM XXXX XXXX XXXX concerning IDENTITY THEFT involving XXXX XXXX in the amount of {$5500.00}. 

We immediately telephoned XXXX XXXX to dispute the FRAUD and notify them of the IDENTITY THEFT. During a long call with their representative, XXXX, we were told that the account had not been funded and he still had time to cancel it due to the IDENTITY THEFT and FRAUD. XXXX exact words were The good thing is it hasnt been used yet. ( It was ) set up on the XXXX ( of XXXX ). 

He also told us that XXXX XXXX had sent a promotional mailer to our old address at XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX, XXXX XXXX FL XXXX and that it had been completed, signed and mailed back with a forged signature. He also stated that my personal financial information was included in that application. 

My personal financial information could have only been provided to the new tenants by our former property XXXX, XXXX XXXX of XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX at XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX, XXXX, FL XXXX, ( XXXX ) XXXX or ILLEGALLY obtained by XXXX XXXX XXXX ( the new occupant at our old address ) through XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX where she is also employed. 

XXXX told us that he would send us a copy of the fraudulent application, yet after 5 months, he has still failed to do so. Instead of doing what he promised, he did send us an electronic version of the FRAUDULENT APPLICATION which stated that the purpose of the loan was home improvements. This would be impossible for us as we rent our home and DO NOT OWN ANY HOME. On the bottom of that electronic copy is the statement XXXX XXXX XXXX The customers date of birth or ID data did not match gAuthenticate data yet they processed the fraudulent loan anyway. So much for due diligence on the part of this negligent company, XXXX XXXX. 

XXXX also asked us to file a police report with our local sheriff, file an FTC IDENTITY THEFT report and provide XXXX XXXX with copies of those along with a copy of my Florida Driver License which we did via U.S. Mail. 

While we had this discussion with XXXX at XXXX XXXX 5 months ago and we provided every bit of documentation requested, XXXX XXXX went ahead and funded that FRAUDULENT LOAN to the IDENTITY THIEVES anyway. 

This FRAUDULENT ACCOUNT and XXXX XXXX FRAUDULENT REPORTING of it to XXXX, Experian and XXXX have cause my credit scores to drop with each bureau anywhere from XXXX to XXXX points each and these scores continue to plummet due solely to XXXX XXXX NEGLIGENCE.

I had no payment method listed or address available! Everything I read the bank was wrong because I was not careless with my card or pin.

That was my bill money but Chime allowed someone to take it. Where do I go from here! I will do it!! Please help me resolve this with this bank.cause they did not investigate.

Company: M&T BANK CORPORATION (NY)

I deposited my payroll check on XX/XX/24 for less than {$5000.00} in a checking account I opened a few months ago using the M & T app. I already had direct deposits for the same amount and the same payor going in another checking account at the same bank, but I had opened a new account since my original account has mine and my mothers name on it. The bank asked for my employer when I opened the account. Why ask for my employers name if youre going to flag the checks they send? Do a lot of people get fraudulent checks from their employers? My online access to my bank accounts has been suspended and the check has still not cleared. I get paid once a month and have bills coming due that I have to use my savings for until this is resolved. I have gone to a branch 2 times with no resolution, each time saying I would get a phone call. I have not gotten any calls from the bank. I have also called the customer service number twice and they direct me to the branch. I have been a customer at M & T for around 10 years. This is unacceptable.

My account with Equifax was never late! I have had exceptional payment history with XXXX  XXXX and all payments were placed on Autopay. This late payment that is reporting is a result on a systematic error on their end processing my payment. 


This was clearly a billing error made my the company and is not a reflection of my payment experience which violates USC Code 1681eb. This error has caused severe hard to my reputation, my character, my mode of living and to my family! 


I demand the late payment reported to be removed. 


They are not in compliance with the following law. 15 USC 1666b and its requirements set the standards and the guidance for a creditor to treat a payment as late, yet they are reporting a payment as late and they did not comply with the law! 


15 USC 1666b ( a ) Time to make payments A creditor may not treat a payment on a credit card account under an open end consumer credit plan as late for any purpose, unless the creditor has adopted reasonable procedures designed to ensure that each periodic statement including the information required by section 1637 ( b ) of this title is mailed or delivered to the consumer not later than 21 days before the payment due date.

Equifax Never Sent the periodic statement along with the disclosures from section 1637 ( b ).

I have requested proof that this information was mailed or delivered 21 days before the payment due date and this information was requested in good faith pursuant rule 1002 and It was never provided. 


This is unfair, illegal, fraudulent, and not equitable to me as a consumer! 


Delete the late payments from my consumer reports
