Product: Credit reporting or other personal consumer reports — Credit reporting
Issue: Improper use of your report — Credit inquiries on your report that you don't recognize
Company: EQUIFAX, INC. (DC)

I did not approve these transactions to be included in my consumer report, neither in writing nor verbally. Therefore, I formally request that these accounts be blocked and removed from my record. This is not a mistake or a misrepresentation. These transactions were included without my explicit consent or instruction. 

I am stressing this to highlight the seriousness of my request. It is based on accurate information, and I am not attempting to deceive or manipulate the situation in any way. My intent is solely to ensure that my consumer report reflects only those transactions that I have authorized. I am committed to maintaining the integrity of my financial records and ensuring that they are accurate and truthful. My request is genuine and aimed at correcting an unauthorized inclusion, not at exploiting any system or misleading any party involved.

Issue: Written notification about debt — Didn't receive notice of right to dispute
Company: Resurgent Capital Services L.P. (CA)

I am writing to formally dispute the willful noncompliance of your agency/company with the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ), specifically under 15 U.S. Code 1681n. This section outlines the civil liability for willful noncompliance with any requirement imposed under the FCRA with respect to any consumer.

According to 15 U.S. Code 1681n, any person who willfully fails to comply with any requirement imposed under this subchapter with respect to any consumer is liable to that consumer for : Any actual damages sustained by the consumer as a result of the failure or damages of not less than {$100.00} and not more than {$1000.00} ; Such amount of punitive damages as the court may allow ; and The costs of the action together with reasonable attorneys fees as determined by the court.

I believe that your agency/company has willfully failed to comply with the FCRA in the following ways : [ Describe the specific noncompliance issue, such as incorrect information on your credit report, failure to investigate a dispute, etc. ] [ Provide any evidence or documentation that supports your claim of willful noncompliance. ] I request that you immediately rectify this situation by [ specific action you want them to take, such as correcting the information on your credit report, conducting a proper investigation, etc. ]. Additionally, I request a written confirmation of the actions taken to address this issue. 

Failure to address this issue promptly will result in a formal complaint being filed with the appropriate regulatory authorities, including the Federal Trade Commission ( FTC ) and the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau ( CFPB ). Furthermore, I reserve the right to seek damages as outlined under 15 U.S. Code 1681n. 

Thank you for your prompt attention to this matter.

Company: OneMain Finance Corporation (MI)

Friday XX/XX/XXXX : car was involved in accident when another car, other driver was at fault. 
Monday XX/XX/XXXX : contacted lender One Main FinanciaXXXX first thing as was first business day after accident. I was informed at that time that I was being charged extra for their insurance. I went to office to get a copy of policy as ( XXXX. I had never received copy XXXX as this was autopay I really didn't pay attention to the extra charges ) I was also informed at that time that they had sent me XXXX notices back in XXXX of XXXX and since I had not responded the insurance had been added. I asked some simple questions that they took offense to and could not answer. I will list the same questions again. 

XXXX. If One Main has no problem contacting me multiple times by email ; text ; phone calls ; and all of my bills from them since this loan as well as promotions have all come to my address on XXXX XXXX since XXXX, why is it that the only XXXX pieces of mail that dealt with an insurance issue sent in XXXX of XXXX sent to an old address on college? 

XXXX. When my XXXX  and I came in to finalize and close the loan we brought in our drivers licenses ; title ; registration ; insurance that all had the XXXX address on ( my wife had paper copy as well as sticker on back of license for change of address from Michigan secretary of state ) and we filled out closing form with our XXXX address, so how did it not get put in their system correctly? 

XXXX. They stated that my address had been updated in system in XX/XX/XXXX. I asked were they got the new address from as I had never been contacted to confirm? I was told from the File?? 

XXXXI am being told that an insurance that they took payment for to secure the collateral is no longer valid as I had shown proof that I had full coverage insurance ( I'm still being billed for their insurance though ) How can One Main take payment for a service that they have no intention of fulfilling? 

Now I am being told it could take months for them to resolve their issues, but I am still required to pay the monthly payments including an insurance that I didn't need or have to have.

Due to a flaw in Experian 's website, I have had my account hacked - a hacker puts in my SSN and answers public questions about me- WITHOUT the use of a username, password, security pin, or security question. This has happened at least 4 times that I know of, and Experian hasn't done anything about it. 

Now, an investigative reporter has uncovered the flaw in Experian 's website in an article titled " Experian, You Have Some Explaining to Do '' that you can find here : XXXX XXXX XXXX I have also attached the article to this complaint.

Issue: Incorrect information on your report — Account status incorrect
Company: EQUIFAX, INC. (CA)

I recently reviewed my consumer report and I noticed that there were three late payments on my account with XXXX XXXX XXXX that I havent been late for. In addition to that, I have also noticed that several of my consumer rights have been violated in the midst of these late payments being added to my credit report. According to the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ), as outlined in 15 USC 1681e ( b ), consumer reporting agencies are responsible for providing maximum accuracy when reporting consumer information, however my consumer report has several inaccuracies that I have attached below. In addition to that late payments are considered transactions due to the late fees that are associated with credit cards & according to 15 U.S. Code 1681a 2 ( A ) ( i ) consumer reports should not include information pertaining to any transactions or experiences between the consumer and the originator of the report. If this is the case, late payments that I am not responsible for should definitely not be reported on my consumer report! I am aware of several other consumer rights that have been violated and I am prepared to settle for civil liability damages that I have suffered as a result of your violations. Please investigate and provide proof with statements showing that these payments were late. If proof can not be provided, I ask that any late payments associated with XXXX XXXX for the month of XX/XX/XXXX, XX/XX/XXXXXXXX XXXX XXXXXX/XX/XXXX be updated to paid as agreed on time and NOT DELETED so the account can remain active. Thank You! Please see the attached screenshot to view the late payments and inaccuracies that I am disputing. Your cooperation in this matter is crucial to ensure the accuracy of my credit report and to safeguard my rights as a consumer under the FCRA. I appreciate your prompt attention to this dispute and look forward to a resolution in a timely manner.

I was mailed a refund check from a lawyer for unused services. The check never arrived. I contacted the law firm, who showed me a copy of the check that had been fraudulently cashed. I notified the law office and the postal inspector of the undelivered mail. The lawyer says that his bank will not cover the check and refuses to write a new one. I have sent an affidavit to the law office explaining the fact that I never received the check and did not cash it, but still, they refuse to replace the stolen funds. My claim number with the US Postal Sevice is XXXX. The check was dated XX/XX/2022. The check was mailed on the XXXX of XXXX.

Name : XXXX XXXX XXXX : XX/XX/XXXX Last XXXX of XXXX : XXXX Hello. I am contacting the CFPB today to detail my recent experience with identity theft, and an ongoing issue with XXXX and XXXX XXXX. 

XXXX XXXX, the individual who stole my identity, lived with me for XXXX years. He made copies of my social security card, driver 's license, and birth certificate during his stay. He proceeded to open up numerous accounts in my name with no authorization from me. I am trying my best to remedy the fire he started but he has been the direct cause of the crippling debt that is reporting to my credit report. I have also filed a police report, but this is all I can do as he is nowhere to be found. 

I sent this letter 3 times now, and specifically the " XXXX XXXX  XXXX '' account is still reporting. I would appreciate putting all this behind me and continuing the recovery process. I can't do that if these accounts, that I've reported to the police and the FTC, are still showing up on my credit report. With no answer as to why, XXXX, Equifax and XXXX continue to report this account to my credit report. They won't provide any methods they used for verification, even after I've provided numerous documents proving this case of identity theft. 

Considering the above circumstances, this CFPB complaint has been filed to request under FCRA 605B ( 15 U.S.C. 1681c-2 ) that you, the XXXX credit reporting agency , the Equifax credit reporting agency , and XXXX XXXX ( XXXX XXXX  ), block information appearing on my consumer credit report that is the result of identity theft and fraud within 4 business days of you receiving this complaint. I have once again provided the information regarding the account in question : XXXX XXXX  XXXX Acct # : XXXX Open Date : XX/XX/XXXX I dont recognize this account. I did not authorize it and because of an evil roommate, I have to suffer for his terrible actions. This account was not made, opened, or initiated by me. Unfortunately, they are the result of identity theft and fraud. I have attached a copy of FTC Identity Theft Criminal Complaint # ( XXXX ), along with the other numerous FTC Affidavits I have submitted to XXXX and Equifax, as proof from the US Federal Trade Commission that the account mentioned above is the result of identity theft and fraud.

I have noticed several items on my credit report that I do not recognize. It appears that someone may have stolen my identity, as I did not authorize these accounts. I have previously raised this issue, and I am now requesting that these accounts be removed from my report immediately. The presence of these unauthorized accounts is causing me significant distress. They do not accurately reflect my credit history or financial management, and dealing with this issue has been challenging. If this matter is not resolved, I am prepared to pursue legal action to protect my rights and seek a resolution. These erroneous items on my credit report are significantly impacting my ability to achieve important financial goals, such as purchasing a home and supporting my family. I hope we can resolve this issue promptly.
