Issue: Improper use of your report — Credit inquiries on your report that you don't recognize
Company: BMW Financial Services NA, LLC (TX)

On XX/XX/XXXX, I applied for auto financing from XXXX of XXXX XXXX. I received my approval and I do see the Hard Inquiry on my credit reports. Unfortunately, I received a second Hard Inquiry from XXXX XXXX XXXX Via XXXX of XXXX XXXX. This looks to be a duplicate Hard Inquiry made by the same company under another ( though similar ) business name. I do not know why or who issued it. This is a duplicate hard inquiry and damaging to my credit. I also received a third Hard Inquiry from BMW Financial Services. That is a total of three hard inquiries for a single auto loan from a single dealership. On XX/XX/XXXX, I received more Hard inquires from XXXX XXXX XXXX via XXXX XXXX XXXX on my XXXX  credit report. On XX/XX/XXXX, I received additional HARD inquiries from XXXX of XXXX XXXX. Again, I do not recognize XXXX XXXX XXXX via XXXX of XXXX XXXX. By mail, I have disputed duplicate and redundant hard inquires with all three credit bureaus.

Good day, After receiving a FICO score alert from my XXXX XXXX account, it has come to my attention that a XXXX credit card account was opened and abused without my permission under my name and sent to a rental property address that we own. Please let me know if you need further information to resolve this issue. I am requesting that this account be removed from my credit reporting agencies upon receipt of this letter. We are applying for a refinance on our rental property and this account has dropped our score considerably. We believe a family friend who was residing at our rental property at XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX for the last 7 months is the one responsible for these fraudulent accounts being opened. We know he also resides in California, but has had a history of XXXX XXXX, along with XXXX XXXX   and were providing him a place to stay while he was attempting to get his life in order. We believe he had accessed our personal information that was stored on-site at our XXXX XXXX property and used it open several credit card accounts. We have contacted the proper authorities as well. Please provide us with any further information, as we will be notifying the credit bureaus as well. We are also filing complaints with the FTC, XXXX XXXX XXXX and the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau to make sure we are not held responsible for this fraudulent account and charges. I do not understand why I did not receive any phone verification from XXXX in order to open this account. All the other creditors I have past accounts with have gone through a multiple-step verification to open a credit card account given the amount of ID theft these days.

Company: Home Point Financial Corporation (GA)

Good Afternoon - Our mortgage was purchased by XXXX XXXX XXXX a few months ago and they have been horrible. My last situation, is as follows. I had sent in XXXX to go to additional principle. It was stated on the check to go to additional principle and it was also sent in with their payment stub stating that the money was for additional principle. I received a statement on XXXX and called immediately. They had put {$2800.00} toward principle and then 2 mortgage payments. This was not as instructed on the stub or the check. I called on XXXX they were to reverse and do it correctly. I called on XXXX and was told it was to be corrected on that Thursday. I just logged into our account on XXXX and it is still not fixed. I called XXXX XXXX, they stated that my request was denied b/c the check was written in the previous month. This was not at all my fault, in my opinion this company is purposely avoiding the correction for their financial gain. This also happened on the previous principle check I had written.

Company: EQUIFAX, INC. (TX)

Equifax was notified of the error on my account as soon as discovered. As required by Equifax, a corresponding identity theft report was filed. A notarized copy of the identity theft report ( FTC # XXXX ) as well as notarized copies of my driver 's license and copies of my utility bills were sent last XX/XX/XXXX and again mailed in XX/XX/XXXX to Equifax to update and correct my file. In XX/XX/XXXX, they corrected my file and enabled me to place a Credit Lock on my account to prevent more errors. 

In or around XX/XX/XXXX, the incorrect address was again added to my account ( XXXX XXXX Address ). When notifying Equifax, their representative XXXX found my prior information, but because my account was managed by the Fraud department because of the identify theft report. Speaking with XXXX ( Manager XXXX ), I was informed that they would not remove the address from my file without me sending him another notarized copy of my government issued identification and additional utility bills, along with a new FTC report. 

At this point, don't know how to make sure fraud is removed from my account as it seems impossible to keep incorrect information off.

If you had investigated properly rather then using your XXXX system you would have noticed that this account is not mine which your companies have claimed to Verified. Since youve obviously neglected to investigate this account thoroughly I am demanding you remove this account off my profile. It is at this time that I will point out the in XXXX v TransUnion, XXXX v. XXXX ( XXXX  ), and XXXX v. XXXX, XXXX XXXXt, the courts ruled each and every time that the CRA couldnt merely Parrot information from the creditors and collection agencies that they have conduct an independent REASONABLE investigation to ensure the validity of the debt and honesty/integrity of the creditors/CA in question. Sending out a generic form through the XXXX system that doesnt even contain my reasons for the dispute is not reasonable.

If you dont initiate an investigation regarding my dispute, as it is my right under the Fair Credit Reporting Act, I will have to take legal action to protect my credit rating and myself. Which Im sure you are aware each violation of the Fair Credit Reporting Act allows damages of {$1000.00} should this matter ends up in court.

I look forward to an expedite resolution of this matter Thank you.

ATTN : Legal Department, This is a notice of dispute pursuant to the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ), section 623, subsection ( 8 ) ( D ). The specific information under dispute is the derogatory nature of the information your agency has furnished to the credit reporting agencies in connection with the following accounts : The basis for my dispute is that, as I understand the code, your office was required to notify me, in writing, prior to, or no later than 30 days after furnishing any negative information to the consumer credit reporting, that such information was being furnished. This notification is required under the FCRA, section 623, subsection ( 7 ) ( A ). To date, I have not received any documentation in compliance with this section. 
I am requesting that you provide me with proof of notification, i.e. a copy of the actual notification sent, and proof that it was delivered to me in a timely manner. 
If you can not provide proof of notification and date of receipt then you can not substantiate that you complied with the procedures required under the FCRA. In which case, the continued reporting of negative information to the credit reporting agencies in connection with the aforementioned accounts may constitute the reporting of false information, causing damage to my reputation and future credit worthiness.

To resolve this situation, I ask that you investigate this matter, and modify the accounts accordingly. I also ask that you inform the appropriate credit reporting agencies of your actions, and ask that they make the proper updates to the accounts at issue.

It is my understanding that the FCRA 623 ( 8 ) ( E ) ( iii ) establishes a timeframe for these issues, and that section 621 of the FCRA supports my request in this matter. I have also requested the guidance and support of the Attorney General 's office. The items that appear on my credit report as XXXX XXXX XXXX. I have never done any business with this company and I demand a full investigation. I do not recall any payments or anytime timeline of activity ( DOLA ) with XXXX XXXX XXXX or XXXX.
