This CFPB complaint has been filed to request pursuant to FCRA 605B ( 15 U.S.C. 1681c-2 ) that you, the Equifax credit reporting agency , block information appearing on my consumer credit report that is the result of identity theft and fraud within 4 business days of you receiving this complaint.

I am filing this FTC Identity Theft Affidavit to report four fraudulent accounts appearing on my consumer FICO Equifax credit report which I do not recognize as reported and which are the result of identity theft and fraud. These fraudulent accounts consist of an Auto Loan opened at XXXX XXXX on XX/XX/XXXX under the account number XXXX. They also include a Credit Card opened at XXXXXXXX XXXX XXXX XXXXXX/XX/XXXX under the account number XXXX. Additionally, there are two Student Loans opened at XXXX XXXX XXXX XX/XX/XXXX under account numbers XXXX and XXXX. These accounts have resulted in several fraudulent hard inquiries and fraudulent collections appearing on my consumer FICO credit report. I demand that the aforementioned fraudulent items be removed from each of my consumer credit reports and that all collection activity related to said items cease pursuant to my rights within the FCRA and FDCPA laws. 

These accounts have resulted in several fraudulent chargeoffs, fraudulent late payments, and fraudulent collections appearing on my consumer FICO credit report. I do not recognize the aforementioned accounts, collections, late payments, or chargeoffs as reported. The aforementioned accounts, collections, and chargeoffs appearing on my consumer credit report maintained by you were not opened, made, or initiated by me. All of the aforementioned accounts, collections, late payments, and charge-offs are the result of identity theft and fraud. I have attached a copy of FTC Identity Theft Criminal Complaint # ( XXXX ) as proof from the US Federal Trade Commission that all of the aforementioned consumer credit accounts, collections, and hard inquiries are the result of identity theft and fraud. I demand that the aforementioned fraudulent items be removed from my consumer credit report and that all collection activity related to said items cease pursuant to my rights within the FCRA and FDCPA laws.

Company: SECURITY FINANCE CORP (TX)

I was contacted several months ago about a payday loan my son had apparently made with a finance company in the town near where I own a house. When asked, they said my son put me as a reference. I told the girl at the finance company that I would contact my son because I knew nothing about him getting a loan, but if I confirmed made a loan with them, I would tell him to call her immediately. When I ended the call with the finance company representative, they were told, clearly, that I was not to be contacted about this matter again unless I was going to represent him legally ( I am a lawyer ). I then was shocked and surprised to learn from my son a half hour later that he did get a {$250.00} signature loan, and lost his job the week before I got the call. He had made some payments, but not once he was laid off a job. I knew the week before the call that he had become unemployed, but knew nothing of the loan, the girlfriend 's loan, or anything about money issues. I have received approximately 20 phone calls in the past 4 months since the first call. They are usually on a Thursday, but sometimes on Tuesdays and Thursdays in the same week, each asking me to have my son call them. This week ( XXXX XXXX, 2017 ), I had a call on Monday and today ( Friday ). I am being harassed over a loan I did n't make. I did n't know about and a loan and I would have told my son never to go to one of those rip-off places. AND I am not responsible in any way to pay back to loan or communicate with my son about the loan. I am not his lawyer, partly because I live 300 miles away. The collection agents are not demanding money from me, but they are doing everything to harass me to see if I will pay the loan for my son. The majority of the calls go to my voice mail, but I have talked with them on three occasions ( the original call, and two more ) and I have said the same thing - DO N'T CALL ME!!!!

XXXX   XXXX  called from an unknown company several times to my place of work. He contacted my employers district office stating I was involved in a legal investigation and he needed my work number. He left me  2  voicemails at work. When I retrieved his messages and after speaking with distinct personnel, I called him back and told him to remove my work number from his database. Additionally, I asked for a company name and fax number and mailing address so I could write to them and inform them to never call my place of employment again and I was mysteriously hung up on 6 times. Finally, he called my cellphone ( this makes  8  calls from him in a span o f 15  minutes  )  and I interrupted and requested an address and or fax number and he refused. I told him I would be filing a complaint with the FTC and Texas Attorney General Office. He said so what I 'm gon na keep calling.

On XX/XX/2022, I sent a letter regarding inaccurate and unknown things on my credit report to this day over 30 days later I have not received a response yet. I feel like I'm taken advantage of and being ignored for my disputes. Section 611 ( a ), it is plainly stated that failure to investigate these items within 30 days gives a reason to immediately remove those items from my credit report, it has been over 30 days so they should be deleted promptly. I demand these accounts should be deleted immediately or I will file for litigation due to the stress you caused me. My information was also impacted by the Equifax Data breach and may have got into the hands of the wrong person.

Company: CARRINGTON MORTGAGE SERVICES, LLC (GA)

I received no notification from Carrington Mortgage Services notifying me of the XXXX XXXX, 2017 foreclosure sale date. The first notification I received was a letter from the attorney on XXXX XXXX, 2017 stating there was a scheduled sale on XXXX XXXX, 2017. This did not allow me to submit my modification package prior to the 37 days before scheduled sale date deadline. I spoke to a supervisor " XXXX '' ( ext XXXX ) who claimed that Carrington Mortgage Service did not have to mail any notifications or letters to me because they attempted to call me. I informed him that is not correct and everything is done by written correspondence as I do not know if they were calling the wrong number. As far as I knew I was still in review for a loan modification and was never made aware or saw anything in the mail from Carrington. " XXXX '' ( ext XXXX ) reiterated again they did n't have to mail letters and phone calls were enough and that most borrowers want to be called and not have letters. This is a violation of XXXX XXXX servicing guidelines and against the CFPB servicing guidelines for loan modifications.
