Product: Credit reporting or other personal consumer reports — Credit reporting
Issue: Incorrect information on your report — Information belongs to someone else
Company: EQUIFAX, INC. (NV)

To Whom It May Concern, I am submitting this formal complaint against XXXX, XXXX, and Equifax for their failure to properly address my proven identity theft claims, despite providing substantial evidence. The credit bureaus have acted in direct violation of their obligations under the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ) by refusing to properly investigate and remove fraudulent accounts from my credit reports. I demand immediate action to resolve these issues, as outlined below. 

Background : I have been a victim of identity theft, which has been thoroughly documented through an Identity Theft Report, as well as other official documentation, including a Hospice Certification. In addition, I am providing letters from various creditors confirming that these fraudulent accounts have been deleted after their investigations. 

Despite this, XXXX, XXXX, and Equifax have : Ignored my identity theft claims for an extended period, despite having clear evidence that the accounts are fraudulent. 

Blocked my access to dispute these fraudulent accounts online, further hindering my ability to resolve these serious issues. 

Continued to allow these accounts to be re-aged, re-added, or transferred to other companies, which perpetuates the damage to my credit. 

Reported the same fraudulent accounts under different creditors, as they attempt to offload or sell the accounts, causing duplicative derogatory entries.

I am writing to have the following information removed from my credit file, the items that I need deleted are going to be attached in a word document. I am a victim of identity theft.

I reported the theft of my identity to the Federal Trade Commission and have enclosed copies of the report. I would like these items deleted from my credit report as soon as possible. Please block this information from my credit report, pursuant to section 605B of the Fair Credit Reporting Act.

Product: Mortgage — Home equity loan or line of credit
Issue: Loan servicing, payments, escrow account — 
Company: Summit AmeriFirst Holdings, Inc. (AZ)

I filed bankruptcy back in 2012 on a 2nd mortgage on my property and it was included in my BK so I was told by my lawyer I did not need to make payments but the loan would sit on my title until I refinanced or sold the property. I am currently going through a refinance now that I am past my 5th year from BK and my lender is getting a payoff from Amerifirst Financial who held my loan which started at XXXX and before filing our BK we were paid down around XXXX and now Amerifirst is saying my payoff to satisfy my lien release on the property to close my loan is over XXXX payoff. I question how my payoff can be XXXX more than when it was discharged as part of my BK? I believe this to be mortgage fraud as this lender Amerifirst is trying to add funds to my payoff well over what I owe them. I am not responsible for any additional fees or interest accrued once my BK was filed and satisfied. My account number with Amerifirst was XXXX.

Issue: Problem with fraud alerts or security freezes — 
Company: EQUIFAX, INC. (MI)

Equifax and XXXX have placed a promotional block on my account without my consent, then declined to unfreeze my account when I did not request a freeze be placed on my credit report. Ive been contacting both of them for days now and have spent countless hours on the phone with their customer service representatives with no solution to this problem. They both say I do not have a freeze on my account but the bank is receiving a freeze message when they request my credit reports. The bank is trying to process my home loan application but can not continue until these bureaus pull the freezes off my account. I will lose out on the offer I have placed on a house if these freezes are not lifted in order for my loan application to be processed. This isnt the first time this situation has occurred and the last time, it was a computer glitch that caused the issue with Equifax. I need the freeze on my credit report lifted through Equifax and XXXX as I have requested immediately.

Company: TRANSUNION INTERMEDIATE HOLDINGS, INC. (CA)

I am writing to express my strong dissatisfaction with the credit reporting agency. Despite my many attempts to fix the problem, they have consistently ignored my requests and shown a lack of commitment to making sure credit reports are correct. I sent disputes on XX/XX/XXXX, XX/XX/XXXX, XX/XX/XXXX, and XX/XX/XXXX. However, XXXX, XXXX, and Transunion chose to ignore my previous complaints. It's clear that they didn't have good procedures in place, which led to credit reports that are not as accurate as they should be. According to the rules, XXXX, Transunion, and XXXX are supposed to investigate and respond to my disputes within 30 days. But I haven't heard anything from them, and they haven't made any effort to look into the mistakes in my credit report. This situation has caused me a lot of stress and frustration. I trusted these credit reporting agencies to handle my information responsibly, and their failure to address my concerns has made the problem even worse. I demand that they quickly investigate thoroughly and give me a satisfactory response about the mistakes in my credit report.

My name is XXXX XXXX XXXX, and my address is XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX, TX XXXX. My date of birth is XX/XX/year>, and my Social Security XXXX is XXXX. Upon reviewing my TRANSUNION credit report, I discovered several inaccuracies and fraudulent accounts. There are fraudulent accounts on my report, included in my credit reports. I did not open the account and was not informed about it beforehand, indicating it was established without my consent. I have already taken steps to address these issues by contacting TRANSUNION directly. I submitted a dispute and provided supporting documentation, such as drivers license, ssn card, proof of address and FTC report number XXXX. Despite these efforts, the inaccuracies and fraudulent accounts have not been removed from my credit report, significantly impacting my creditworthiness and financial stability. I am requesting that the CFPB intervene to ensure that these inaccurate and fraudulent accounts are promptly removed from my TRANSUNION credit report. Additionally, I seek written confirmation from TRANSUNION once these accounts have been corrected. I also ask the CFPB to investigate TRANSUNION handling of my dispute and its adherence to FCRA and CFPB rules.
