Product: Credit reporting, credit repair services, or other personal consumer reports — Credit reporting
Issue: Problem with a credit reporting company's investigation into an existing problem — Their investigation did not fix an error on your report
Company: EQUIFAX, INC. (MI)

Dear Sir, Equifax did not address my previous consumer financial protection bureau complaint and did not resolve the complaint, where as closed XXXX credit card and loans information missing in the credit report since XX/XX/2018. I also ran Equifax credit report dated XX/XX/2018 and I did not find closed DCU credit card and missing XXXX Auto loans in the equifax credit report , which have been paid off and also attached XXXX closing Auto Loans to my previous consumer financial bureau complaints. I have no idea, what kind of fraudulent investigation has been done by Equifax and there was no evidence and no investigation report attached to my consumer finance bureau response. Removing closed Auto Loans/Credit cards from credit report is a fraud and unlawful. Equifax interim response to CFPB on XX/XX/2018 that they were working on my complaint and response is in progress. Equifax again responded to CFPB on XX/XX/2018 that they mailed investigation report on XX/XX/2018 (  which is Sunday, Equifax also mentioned in the CFPB 's response that Equifax does not work on Saturday and Sunday ). Also, there is no investigation report and evidence attached to the CFPB 's response and I did not receive any Equifax Investigation Report dated XX/XX/2018/Evidence over the mail. Could you kindly direct my complaint to Respectable Federal Officer against Equifax, their fraudulent investigation, no evidence attached to my previous complaint response, also no explanation why closed XXXX credit and auto loans removed/missing from the credit report. Could you direct Equifax to add/update my closed XXXX credit and Auto loans in the credit report, which needs to be part of the credit report for at least 7 years. I need the complete documentation and Equifax fraudulent investigation to submit to concerned courts and Law Enforcement officers. XXXX holds the complete legal accountability and responsibility for missing Auto Loans, my Vehicle VIN number and various other information related to these XXXX loans.

Issue: Problem with a credit reporting company's investigation into an existing problem — Was not notified of investigation status or results
Company: EQUIFAX, INC. (NJ)

On 3 Occasion I asked Equifax and XXXX to verify 3 debts on my report. The first was on XX/XX/XXXX, the next one was on XX/XX/XXXX and the 3rd was on XX/XX/XXXX. I am sending one last request, as none of these requests resulted in showing me proof that any of the 3 debts are actually mine. They never even responded by mail to let me know what the status of these debts are. I am prepared to seek civil remedy, but as part of my case am filing this complaint for the record. I will be attaching my last and final request, and this will list the debts that I am trying to verify.

Company: Ad Astra Recovery Services Inc (TX)

I reached out to AD ASTRA collection company due to seeing their number listed on my report. The first thing I noticed is they are reporting on my credit report under " XXXX XXXX XXXX  XXXX '' but when I call their number they say the name of the company is AD ASTRA. I sent A certified letter requesting debt validation as they have two accounts listed with open dates XX/XX/12 & XX/XX/2012 for A place by the name of XXXX XXXX. I have informed them via writting and over the phone that I have never done business with such company. And I requested That they send me debt validation showing original contracts showing that I had an contractual obligation to this company. Which they refused to send me. When I called the representative informed me they do not have to give me that information and if it wasn't me then they wanted me to send them A police report in order for them to look into this account. Their representative was very nasty and unwillinging to help. She continued to say things like " Your accounts '' when I repeatedly informed her those accounts where not mine and I have never agreed to business with such company. I asked to speak with A supervisor and was informed by the supervisor that they could not send debt validation unless I request so in writting ( Which I have already done ) She explained they didn't receive the request and I would need to send it again. I have been reauesting this information for some time now and seem to be at A dead end with this company. I also asked since AD ASTRA are the ones reporting on my credit report why where they reporting under A different name? This company seem like A scam! I am requesting legal original contracts validating this debt with my signatures or for this to be fully removed from my credit report or I will escalate this even further.

I have already applied, and been denied for the P.S.L.F. twice that I do qualify for as I have never missed a student loan payment, made over 120 payments, worked for a not for profit for over 10 years in a full time capacity. I also qualify for the new T.E.P.S.L.F. ( Temporary Expanded Public Service Student Loan Forgiveness Program, and am working with my Congressman XXXX XXXX to resolve this.

Not informing me of the passage of the P.S.L.F. in XXXX, or engaging me as a borrower with any kind of basic information or options related to qualifying for the P.S.L.F. is a violation of fairness in lending, a lack of transparency and full disclosure, unethical, and well kind of tricky. An average and reasonable person would simply let their borrowers know of such changes or new programs that affect their student loan borrowers, it's simply an appropriate, fair and courteous response. It's crystal clear that 'XXXX '' now know as 'XXXX ' through their 'failure an omission to act ' didn't want to fairly and appropriately serve their borrowers, because if they did they would have simply done what an average citizen would have, and that is insuring all of the borrowers were treaty with fairness, clarity, respect and full legal disclosure of all that may effect them. Congressman XXXX XXXX 's office will be acting on my behalf you can also correspond with them as well as me.

Issue: Closing your account — Company closed your account
Company: CITIBANK, N.A. (CA)

I opened this account in XX/XX/XXXX, when Citibank took over the rewards program for Best Buy. I experienced some financial distress in the 3rd quarter of XX/XX/XXXX and enrolled in a debt settlement program in which I actively negotiated debt settlement with 3 credit card companies ( but intentionally NOT this credit card - I liked the lower limits and the terms, and was easily able to pay off the card in full each month ). While in the process of implementing the program, I was advised to stop making payments to the credit cards I was trying to enroll in the program, and as such my credit took a hit. I have since resolved the situation and am working on repairing my credit. I actively paid off one of the 3 accounts I  was attempting to settle, and am current with all of my other payments. All throughout this process, I have never fallen delinquent on my payments for the Citibank card, and have paid the balance in full each month. 

I was very taken by surprise for them to decide to not renew my account this month. I was dependent upon this card as a part of my budget. Further - I was not given any advance notice of them deciding to close my account. When I went to pay my bill, I logged in and found that they sent me an electronic letter explaining that they reviewed my account and decided not to renew due to my credit score being what it was. And now, because my debt to credit ratio will be affected by them closing the account, it will further set me back with my credit repair process and will lower my credit score even more. 

I am unbelievably disappointed with Citibank, and would advise people to avoid opening accounts with them.

I have disputed with the credit bureaus about an account I seen on my credit report, they came back saying the account was verified. I asked how was it verified they claimed I had to call the collection agency. so I called XXXX XXXX/ RESURGENT and asked how did they claim the account was verified they said just by my social. the first person I spoke with as named XXXX, who on a recorded line stated they only verified using my social security number no other identifying information was given from the original creditor. if I wanted more information I would have to write them for it. why would I need to write them for more information when she already told me they just had a social to verify it. where is the contract signed, dated with proof of my identity that was used for the account in mention? there was non. so iasked to speak to a supervisor which her name is XXXX, she was no help at all. she said we can dispute it again I asked how would you verify the account is mine? she said by social. so no one has physical proof of this account? nothing more than a social security number? that's how people get over on things because no one asks for photo ids along with social security or other identifying documents, so much identity theft in the world.
