I have previously sent disputes requesting verification and debt validation for the item ( s ) listed below. Additionally, I have requested specific method of verification ( MOV ). Equifax is not fulfilling the obligation under FCRA 609 ( c ) ( 2 ). Validation using e-OSCAR or PACER is improper validation and a violation of FCRA. The absence of method of verification and validating debt ownership via third party fails to meet the Consumer Finance Protection Bureaus ' guidelines for what constitutes proper debt validation. Additionally under FCRA 623, I am requesting investigation as to the accuracy of the records on this debt.

The FCRA requires the CRA to assure maximum possible accuracy with your credit file. [ 15 U.S.C. 16 81 e ] ( b ) " Accuracy of report. Whenever a consumer reporting agency prepares a consumer report it shall follow reasonable procedures to assure maximum possible accuracy of the information concerning the individual about whom the report relates ''. How is it possible that maximum accuracy is assured when the collection agency is verifying erroneous information to the CRA through an ACDV, and hasn't provided you with proper validation of the debt?

Under 623 ( b ) ( l ), FAIR CREDIT REPORTING ACT/REGULATION V when a furnisher receives notice from a CRA that a consumer disputes the completeness or accuracy of information the furnisher provided to the CRA, it must investigate the disputed information, review all relevant information provided by the CRA, and report the results of its investigation to the CRA.

Please provide information to the following questions When was the dispute started internally at Equifax?

When was the dispute sent to the original information furnisher?

When did Equifax receive a response from the original information furnisher?

What information was sent to the original information furnisher and what detailed information was received from the original information furnisher in response to the dispute? The furnisher is required to investigate their records and ensure that they are accurate as well as Equifax is required to have an INDEPENDENT role and actively investigate a dispute and compare evidence. The case law XXXX XXXX Equifax Corporation, XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX, the judge ruled that Equifax violated XXXX Fair Credit Reporting Act by failing to compare evidence.

I hope you're doing well. I've run into a bit of a problem. While going through my credit report, I noticed some things that don't seem quite right, and it appears my identity have been stolen online. My nephew, who's studying XXXX XXXX, helped me out by finding a way to check if my XXXX emails were involved in this breach. To my surprise, it turns out that 2 out of 3 of my emails contain a lot of my sensitive and personal information. I want to emphasize that I'm not the one behind these accounts. It would mean a lot to me if you could assist in removing the following from my credit report. Please see the attached file for what I am complaining about and take immediate actions.

Issue: Incorrect information on your report — Account information incorrect
Company: SUNTRUST BANKS, INC. (NJ)

SunTrust mortgage did willfully and wrongly violate the rights of the Service member and protected spouse after they had invoked SCRA protection. This violation of Federal law by SunTrust has caused irreparable financial harm to the couple. 
Under the SERVICEMEMBERS CIVIL RELIEF ACT ( SCRA ) 50 U.S.C. App. 501-597b1 518. Exercise of rights under Act not to affect certain future financial transactions [ Sec. 108 ] Item 1, Item 3 and Item 5. 
They have also violated FDIC Rules, FDIC Compliance Examination Manual XXXX XXXX Page V11.3, Adverse Action An adverse report relating to the creditworthiness of the servicemember by or to a consumer reporting agency ;. 
SunTrust has reported to the three credit reporting agencies that for three consecutive months the mortgage payments were greater than 30 days late. 
Both documents protect the Service member and covered spouse from adverse actions by the creditor. Filing a report of three consecutive late payments greater than 30 days sends a strong message to future creditors these individuals are horrible credit risk. 
Attached is a brief from XXXX affirming the same, no adverse reports should be made while under SCRA protection. 
It is also very coincidental that this adverse action was posted at the same time a written request was made to remove PMI.

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! This has caused me multiple denials and mental anguish that I can't even stand. I will not tolerate this anymore and will seek litigation if this is not handled!

Product: Student loan — Federal student loan servicing
Issue: Dealing with your lender or servicer — Don't agree with the fees charged
Company: Nelnet, Inc. (MD)

When applying for my student loan, I was under the mistaken belief that the bank would be loaning me depositors money, which it received from its depositors or investors. I have found by researching relevant case law on the matter and reading Modern Money Mechanics, published by the Federal Reserve XXXX XXXX XXXX, that banks create the money I borrowed by using my promise to pay. It generated computer entries to my account, listing the loan as a credit, in effect, creating money out of thin air. 
In none of my transactions with the bank did any officer or employee notify me that the bank created money by a journal entry ( out of thin air ). This is bank fraud. The banks transactions relating to me lacked two necessary elements of a valid contract. 
Perhaps you should be aware of the following : United States Code, Title 32, Section 24, Paragraph 7 confers upon a bank the power to lend its money, not its credit. In XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX v XXXX  XXXX  XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX ( XXXX ), the court stated : ( T ) he provisions referred to do not give power to a national bank to guarantee the payment of the obligations of others solely for their benefit, nor is such power incidental of the business of banking. A bank can lend its money but not its credit. 
Again in : XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX v XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX, XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX, ( XXXX ) It has been settled beyond controversy that a national bank, under federal law, being limited in its power and capacity, can not lend its credit by guaranteeing the debt of another. All such contracts being entered into by its officers are ultra vires and not binding upon corporation. See also XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX v XXXX, XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX ( XXXX ). 
The bank did not notify me that it created money by journal entry ( out of thin air ), defined as bank credit. To do so would have disclosed that there was no consideration from the bank to me. 
A lawful consideration must exist and be tendered, to support the note. See XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX v XXXX XXXX, XXXX XXXX XXXX, XXXX XXXX XXXX ( XXXX XXXX. 


I hereby revoke, rescind, and repudiate my signature on the original application. The original application was fraudulent on its face, as full disclosure was not provided. The application did not inform me the bank was loaning me bank credit created out of thin air. 
Had the bank so disclosed this fact to me, that I was in fact borrowing bank credit, I would have known that the element of consideration was missing from the contract and would have not entered into that agreement.

In the best non-detailed description of what I am going through starts off with me applying for a job position with a company in the middle of XX/XX/XXXX. During the process of the interview I was giving my social security number to the HR Manager to input to her system to send to, what I eventually see through a letter in my mail, a " XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX '' During the interview process however, I give the HR Manager a wrong SSN due to memory and she unfortunately submitted the file already before I could tell her my correct SSN a few seconds later. Two weeks go by and I hear nothing from the company that I applied to and the letter comes in my mail from them with the company they use for background checks. It has my name, address, date of birth, and WRONG SSN that produced the report mailed to me. 

Note that with the information I provided the company for a background check, everything seems to be " Full matched '' and used by this background check company " by the following identifiers : Last name, First Name, Middle Name, DOB '' as well as my address and WRONG SSN in easily readable format with criminal charges personally I never been charged with. Two scenarios are in my head with my concerns. First, the background check company that is able to manipulate a LEGAL DOCUMENT WITH NUMBERS THAT IDENTIFIES YOU FOR THE REST OF YOUR LIFE, with most likely a date of birth and of course a name associated with it, AND CONFUSE IT WITH ANOTHER LEGALLY IDENTIFYING NUMBER THAT IS VERY IMPORTANT. Secondly, if my First Name, Middle Name, Last Name, and DOB has a criminal charge on file that someone inputted, who is to say I do n't have another one or when I 'll have another one?

I am investigating my situation first thing in the morning with the companies involved since the day I write this is the day I found out.

It has come to my attention that this charge-off is being reported repeatedly monthly, which is incorrect. According to the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ), negative information such as a charge-off should be reported only once, reflecting the date it was charged off.

Under the FCRA, credit reporting agencies are required to ensure the accuracy of the information they provide ( 15 U.S.C. 1681e ( b ) ). The continuous monthly reporting of this charge-off misrepresents my payment history and negatively impacts my credit score.

Furthermore, the statute of limitations for reporting a charge-off is seven years from the date of the initial delinquency that led to the charge-off ( 15 U.S.C. 1681c ( a ) ( 4 ) ). 
Repeatedly reporting this charge-off as a new event each month does not reflect the statute of limitations and is therefore improper. 
I request an immediate investigation into this matter and the correction of my credit report by removing the repeated entries of the charge-off from my payment history. Please update my credit report accordingly and provide written confirmation of these corrections.
