Issue: Incorrect information on your report — Information belongs to someone else
Company: EQUIFAX, INC. (CA)

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 these items. Your failure to positively verify these accounts and inquiries has hurt my ability to obtain credit. 

Items that need to be disputed : XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXXXX/XX/XXXX

Issue: Incorrect information on your report — Account status incorrect
Company: EQUIFAX, INC. (FL)

The vehicle was a lemon and returned within two weeks of purchase. Equifax is reporting the accurate dates of account open XX/XX/XXXX and correct date for account closed XX/XX/XXXX. The account status is inaccurate it is reflecting as an open installment and was never updated XX/XX/XXXX with the last activity date that is closed in repossession. Since the account holder has updated the account as of XX/XX/XXXX with 120 day late payments from XX/XX/XXXX-XX/XX/XXXX. This is fraud, this goes above inaccurate reporting. The account needs to be removed and Equifax should be held accountable for allowing this company to conduct such illegal credit reporting practices. Instead they advise you to file a dispute and refuse to admit the companies accountability for accurate reporting to Equifax on their consumers but instead want you to file a dispute as 5 billions others would as if this is the same issue and it is not. This company is a fraud from the inception of selling used damaged unsalable cars and then traumatizing consumers even further by using Equifax credit reporting to torture you even further by not reporting the account closing or accurately reporting their repossession and voluntary repossession rates to be scored and taken to account against their business practices and better business ratings. In my experience as one of their many victims they are continued to allow lending if they don't show their true first payment default ratio. Again another use of the credit reporting agency to fraud Equifax which they allow by not averaging the complaints against the companies reporting with the numbers of first payment recalls or repossessions as they arent being reported. I am using myself as an example to assist others in receiving the same long term fraudulent activity from XXXX XXXX XXXX through the Equifax reporting bureau. This complaint is against Equifax for not protecting my rights per the FDCPA. I intend to contact the FDCPA and advise of the activity allowed against me the response from Equifax and the ongoing continued issue still unresolved in almost 4 years come XX/XX/XXXX. Based on the activity of Equifax allowing the customer XXXX   XXXX XXXX to utilize their resources to victimize me I want them removed immediately from my Equifax credit report and their access to my Equifax credit report blocked never allowing them access again as I never intend on conducting current and or future services from this corrupt, fraudulent, inhuman credit practicing company again and if I could avoid Equifax being allowed to report for me I would remove myself from ever being reported by them again after this very traumatic experience I can't sleep

Hello, I am writing to delete the following information on my credit report. The following items are listed in the report. I am a victim of identity theft. The charges made on the account were not mine. The items need to be deleted as they are inaccurate items on my credit report. The theft of my identity was reported to the federal Trade Commission. 
Also, I have an enclosed copy of the Federal Trade Commission identity theft affidavit. 
Please find it in your best interest to delete the items I would like to emphasize the following legal obligations under the FCRA : Under 1681b, a consumer reporting agency XXXX furnish a consumer report only under specific circumstances, including " In response to the order of a court having jurisdiction to issue such an order, or a subpoena issued in connection with proceedings before a XXXX grand jury.

Under 15 U.S.C. 1681i ( a ) ( 1 ) ( A ), credit bureaus must conduct a " reasonable reinvestigation '' upon receiving notice of a consumer dispute. I am formally notifying you of this dispute, and I expect a thorough and reasonable reinvestigation of all items I've identified.

15 U.S. Code 1681b outlines the permissible purposes of consumer reports, including conditions for furnishing and using consumer reports for employment purposes. I do not believe any of these permissible purposes apply to the disputed items on my report.

15 U.S. Code $ 1681c-2 a consumer reporting agency shall block the reporting of any.

information in the file of a consumer that the consumer identifies as information that resulted from an alleged identity theft, not later than 4 business days after the date of receipt.

Company: JPMORGAN CHASE & CO. (OH)

Upon opening my Chase Mobile banking app. Just below my banking account balances. There is a section that explicitly states " you are already approved! '' And then lists multiple options to me. 
A finance auto loan for XXXX A Chase Sapphire Preferred card with a XXXX limit. 
I opted to apply for the Chase Sapphire preferred card and only applied due to the heading stating " you are already approved '' once I applied I was denied the card and the financial service placed a hard inquiry on my credit report. 
I would not have applied for this card had it not said " you are already approved '' explicitly above. This is unfair and deceptive and has hurt me as a consumer negatively impacting my credit score. I have provided a screenshot of the application. Once I was denied the credit card they removed it from this section but the option is still there for the auto loan. Stating " you're already approved ''
