Consumer complaint received 2024-08-30
Product: Credit reporting or other personal consumer reports — Credit reporting
Issue: Problem with a company's investigation into an existing problem — Investigation took more than 30 days
Company: EQUIFAX, INC. (AR)

I have already sent a letter addressing the inaccuracies and unknown items on my credit report, but unfortunately, I have not received any response even after 30 days. It feels like I'm being taken advantage of and my disputes are being ignored. According to Section 611 ( a ), if these items are not investigated within 30 days, they should be promptly removed from my credit report. Since it has been over 30 days, I expect these accounts to be updated immediately. If not, I will have no choice but to pursue legal action due to the stress this situation has caused me. Additionally, my information was also affected by the Equifax, XXXX, and XXXX data breach, which raises concerns about the security of my personal data.

These accounts have resulted in several fraudulent hard inquiries and fraudulent collections appearing on my consumer FICO credit report. I've attached a list of the hard inquiries in question as well as a copy of the consumer FICO credit report maintained by you which shows the aforementioned fraudulent items. I do not recognize the aforementioned accounts, collections, or hard inquiries as reported. The aforementioned accounts, collections, and hard inquiries appearing on my consumer credit report maintained by you were not opened, made, or initiated by me. All of the aforementioned accounts, collections, and hard inquiries 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 am listing accounts below that have been reported inaccurately on my credit report. In compliance with the Fair Credit Reporting Act and as a gesture of respect to the Federal Trade Commission Committee on accuracy and completeness of credit information I am formally writing in today to dispute negative information appearing on my credit. This incorrect information is greatly hindering me from getting the credit score I deserve and hopefully, this letter will resolve all the issues on my credit. I demand to see Verifiable Proof ( an original Consumer Contract with my Signature on it ) of the accounts listed below. Your failure to positively verify these accounts has hurt my ability to obtain credit.

Issue: Improper use of your report — Credit inquiries on your report that you don't recognize
Company: Experian Information Solutions Inc. (IL)

I've made repeated efforts to address the issue of unauthorized inquiries on my consumer report without success. These inquiries are entirely unrelated to me, and I bear no responsibility for them. Their presence has caused considerable emotional and financial strain. As an identity theft victim, I may need to pursue legal action if this isn't resolved properly. These false and fraudulent entries have prevented me from purchasing my ideal home and meeting my family 's needs, significantly impacting my financial situation. I've attached a copy of my previous correspondence to the Federal Trade Commission ( FTC ) detailing this issue and requesting resolution for your reference.

Product: Checking or savings account — Checking account
Issue: Problem caused by your funds being low — Overdrafts and overdraft fees
Company: PNC Bank N.A. (MD)

I have had this checking account since XXXX. I always direct deposit enough money to pay the Home equity loan prior to it being due. In XX/XX/XXXX they charged me a random {$7.00} fee on XX/XX/XXXX. They then paid my loan payment to themselves and overdrew my account by {$5.00}. I only use this account for a discounted rate on the loan through them. They proceeded to charge me {$36.00} for the overfdraft and {$7.00} a day for being overdrawn. On XX/XX/XXXX they sent me an email that I did not see as I deleted it because I do n't use PNC for anything else. I did see the 2nd email they sent me XX/XX/XXXXand I called that day. They agreed to take off the overdraft and 1 day charge of {$7.00}. I explained to her that this was a pyramid scheme and I have never had a fee one time like this and she just said the system will only let me remove {$43.00} and there is no manager I can talk to. Her only explanation was it is a free checking account and I missed the cutoff for that cycle by 1 day and there was nothing left to say. It was transferred from my other account prior to the XXXX break/weekend. This is crazy and unfair but she refused to even let me speak to someone else about it. I have since spoken to other people that said PNC did similar things to them.

On XX/XX/XXXX bank name : XXXX XXXX XXXX pulled my credit report which is showing a medical collection item listed for the amount of {$660.00} which does not belong to me. Tried to contact the medical provider no such address or phone # listed.

XXXX the merchant account # XXXX   which comes up as a fraud company.

Went on Equifax.com to dispute this entry. Turns out this medical collection item doesn't appear on my credit report so that I can submit a dispute.

XX/XX/XXXX Contacted Equifax at XXXX and spoke with a representative about disputing this medical collection item. He responded were not showing that you have any outstanding medical collections on your credit report. He provided me a confirmation # XXXX.

My question is how does the XXXX XXXX XXXX pull this credit report ( Equifax ) showing this medical collection and Equifax doesn't show this medical collection on my report.

I filed a dispute for incorrect information on my credit report. I received an email from the credit bureau stating that they are assuming the disputes are coming from a 3rd party. They in fact did not come from a 3rd party. l even called them to verify it was me and they still refused to process my disputes. I wasted money on mailing my disputes out.

This is a formal complaint against Experian located in XXXX, TX. The accounts are XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX. 

This company has repeatedly violated my consumer rights under the Fair Credit Reporting Act and has caused me much unnecessary financial AND mental distress. For starters, they 're reporting an erroneous & unverifiable account on my credit report and not to mention an account in which I 've asked for proof of claim and in which they have not been able to provide, per the FCRA. Despite my efforts to resolve this unfortunate nightmare for several months now, [ insert CB name ] has completely ignored my communications and legal submissions to remove this inaccurate information from my credit report. I am well aware of the many, many other complaints filed against this company for their illegal and unethical business. Yet, somehow, this company is still in business. This company 's unprofessional & negligent behavior has caused lots of serious harm, not only to my ability to establish credit & good interest rates, but also to my character as a Professional and as an individual. Please help me, and the many other consumers just like me, to put a stop to the operation of these unethical & immoral business practices immediately. I sincerely appreciate your time and assistance in this matter and hope to hear from you very soon

Company: Westlake Services, LLC (CT)

This is the second complaint I have filed against this company since XXXX, and I believe this latest tactic is a retaliation for the steps I have taken. Westlake Financial was contacted in XXXX after our issue was settled with the help of your office. During our conversation they offered to defer my XXXX payment until the end of the loan. I agreed to this. That should have negated my XXXX payment and made me only responsible for my XXXX payment. 
My XXXX payment was due on XX/XX/2018 and is scheduled for XX/XX/2018 of this month. I received a letter on XX/XX/2018 ( dated XX/XX/2018 ) that stated the following : " Your account is in serious default. Please be advised that your account has not reached the stage where definite action must be taken. We have begun a review of your account to determine what further collection efforts are required. Those actions may include steps to protect our interest in the secured vehicle, up to and including repossession, according to the terms of your contract. '' I find this amazingly aggressive for a 15 day delinquency and feel this is absolutely a response to my asking for my records to prove that they did not harm my credit as they threatened to when I refused to answer their question regarding why I was late. I was told that they would put that I was non-responsive to their claim, when that was not true. The resolution was that they told you they didn't have that in my record and would not release any part of my file without a court order.
