Company: EQUIFAX, INC. (TX)

I filed a complaint after discovering that some of my personal information was being used without my permission when I searched for my name on the Internet. My information was obtained by an aggregator website, which advised me to first check the website 's FAQ section and then contact approximately nine separate websites in order to have my information removed. Apart from feeling invaded because I value my privacy, I was humiliated by the fact that I had to request that my belongings be taken. I discovered unauthorized fraudulent accounts on my report and would like those accounts removed and corrected. Remove all negative and bogus accounts from my credit report. This has hampered my ability to obtain credit. I am doing everything I can.

Issue: Applying for a mortgage or refinancing an existing mortgage — 
Company: OAKTREE FUNDING CORPORATION (NJ)

I applied for a refinance loan on one of my investment properties through Oaktree Funding Corp ( XXXX  XXXX ). I was approved and received the funds, however shortly after the closing Oaktree sold my mortgage to two other another lenders. Now I have two mortgages from two separate lenders ( XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX and XXXX dba XXXX XXXX on the same house on my credit report and both are sending bills for the mortgage payment. I didn't get two refinance fund payments I shouldn't be charged for two mortgages. 

I have contacted all three lenders and no one has corrected the problem. Each saying I have to contact the other to resolve the issue. I didn't cause the issue. I believe Oaktree made a mistake in how they processed or transferred the note to the other mortgage companies. 

Oaktree 's error has caused my credit score to decline. I'm trying to purchase a new primary residence and I'm being charged a higher interest rate and have to submit a large amount of money because my debt-to-income ratio is higher because of this error

Company: CITIBANK, N.A. (NY)

XXXX sold us airline reservations that included free personal item service. But we did not receive the free personal item service.Instead we got additional charges from the airlines for the free personal item service. 

We informed XXXX and XXXX XXXX but they are not willing to fix the problem. We then informed Citi Cards regarding the issue with detail letter, but Citi Cards refuses to take any action. 

We have informed Citi Cards that XXXX is misleading airline passengers and committing fraud by selling a service that they are unable to provide but thus far Citi Cards has failed to take any action, instead wants to punish their customers by forcing their customers to pay for fraudulent charges on their credit card bill. 

Citi Card is marketing and advertising customers will not be responsible for fraudulent charges but Citi Bank has failed to keep that promise. 

Please review the attached documents that was already submitted to Citi Cards.

Product: Debt collection — Auto debt
Issue: Written notification about debt — Didn't receive enough information to verify debt
Company: Radius Global Solutions LLC (CA)

I received a debt collection for the company named : Radius Global Solutions LLC XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX, MN XXXX on the date XX/XX/2023. 

I wrote back a debt validation letter with certified mail on XX/XX/2023, asking for them to verify that the debt belonged to me. It has now been 66 business days, as it is now XX/XX/2023 and I have yet to receive one piece of validation letter from the company. Which leads me to believe they are either scammers or they are attempting to illegally collect debt. By scaring me into paying a large amount of money without providing me any evidence that it even belongs to me. 

I waited patiently for a potential validation letter ; instead, I received an offer letter to pay a percentage of the " debt '' without providing any of the documents I requested to verify the debt. They sent the offer letter around XX/XX/2023, but have yet to validate the debt for over 30 days. 

I did my part and sent them a validation letter within the allotted 30-day time frame. Below, I have attached the debt validation letter with proof of the receipt from certified mail that the company has received it, copies of the collection letters.

In regards to the creditor Credit Acceptance account # XXXX This item has been disputed numerous times it was removed from my credit report back in XXXX of XXXX from a dispute that went into collections. Then was re-inserted to my credit report as an active open account as of XX/XX/XXXX. I contacted the creditor XX/XX/XXXX to validate the debt and was informed that the account has been in there internal collections department since XXXX of XXXX. I mentioned to the claims dept specialist that they removed the account from my report for 2 years being in collections and that they were reporting false information to the bureaus. They have been reporting late payments since XX/XX/XXXX knowing that the account was in collections. I mentioned how an account can not be in collections and treated as an active account, and his reply was it is an active account in our internal collections department. Reporting false information is a violation according to the fair credit reporting act. I also contacted the three bureaus in regards to this matter XX/XX/XXXX which led to another dispute with each bureau. Also on my report there is no history of previous dispute investigations. Which is another violation, I would dearly appreciate your assistance in this matter. I'll also be attaching the supporting documents from my credit report from XXXX Thank you so much
