Product: Debt collection — Other (i.e. phone, health club, etc.)
Issue: Cont'd attempts collect debt not owed — Debt is not mine
Company: AFNI INC. (NE)

afni debt collection company contacted me in XX/XX/XXXX about an XXXX bill that is not/never was mine, dated XX/XX/XXXX 

Appears to be a mail order for a telephone that was delivered to a person with the same first & last name as mine ( very common one ) @ a XXXX address. 

I have lived in different state since XX/XX/XXXX, during which time I have not had an XXXX acct. or purchased anything from XXXX. I so notified Afni, Inc. when I first heard from them, but just received another dunning notice. 

This temporarily affected my excellent credit rating w/ XXXX XXXX before I was even notified of this bogus charge, which is utterly unacceptable.

No prior notice of any money owed was sent during this time prior to the phone call.

I was never offerd a final walkthrough inspection of the apartment to check damages. The Electricity was never included in my lease and was my responsibility not XXXX XXXX to pay.

Company: Rocket Mortgage, LLC (NJ)

My wife and I have a mortgage with Rocket Mortgage. We've never paid late. My WIFE filed for XXXX  XXXX bankruptcy in 2024. I personally did not file bankruptcy. When my WIFE 'S bankruptcy was approved, Rocket Mortgage removed the mortgage account from MY credit file. This caused MY credit score to drop over XXXX points. All MY credit cards cut my lines of credit so now it looks like my cards are maxed out. Some of my lines got closed out when they periodically check your credit and saw my credit score drop. 

I contacted Rocket Mortgage when I saw the mortgage account removed from my credit file. They transferred me to their bankruptcy department. I was told that this is their policy when someone on a mortgage file for bankruptcy. This CAN NOT be an acceptable practice. I've never been late on my mortgage, and I want it added back on my credit file.

I lodged a complaint with these Bureaus a month ago, but unfortunately, the inaccurate information on my report still remains. I haven't received any communication from the Bureaus, except for the notification that you sent stating that the company has responded to my complaint. How can I be certain that they have thoroughly checked the inaccuracies on my report? What methods did they employ to validate the accounts? This whole situation is incredibly frustrating! It's been more than 30 days since I filed a complaint with these Bureaus, and yet the disputed accounts have not been updated. If this continues, I will have no choice but to take legal action due to the immense stress this has caused me. Moreover, I am also concerned about the security of my personal data, as it was affected by the XXXX, XXXX, and Transunion data breach.

I have recently obtained copies of my personal consumer credit report ( s ) and have discovered questionable and/or inadequately verified data in my file at your company 's office ( s ), as reported on my reviewed files. I am concerned that this information may have been inadvertently or intentionally re-added to my credit report profile by your company 's office ( s ) following its earlier removal from reporting, without issuing the requisite 5-day notice to me as mandated by reporting regulations that you MUST comply with.

As per the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ), any item of reporting that has been previously removed can not be reinserted onto any consumer 's credit report profile without written notice from at least the accepting credit reporting agency ( ies ) /repository ( ies ) directly to me, the injured consumer, within five ( 5 ) business days of the alleged date of reinsertion. I want to inform you that I have not yet received any such notice or confirmation of the accuracy and completeness of your reported claim ( s ).

NOTICE FOR REMOVAL OF INQUIRY REQUEST : According to Section 604 of US CODE 15 USC 1681 et seq., it is clearly stated that any entity requesting access to a consumer 's credit report must have a lawfully acquired and permissible purpose as outlined by the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ).

Failure to provide such proof means that you must remove any inquiry reporting related to the event ( s ) in question.
