Company: EQUIFAX, INC. (CA)

To whom it may concern : I am a victim of identity theft. The information listed below, which appears on my credit report, does not relate to any transaction ( s ) that I have made. It is the result of identity theft. 

The fraudulent accounts appearing on my Equifax credit report are XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX and XXXX. 
The unauthorized and fraudulent inquiries appearing on my Equifax credit report are : XXXX, XXXX XXXX, XXXX XXXX XXXX, XXXX and XXXX XXXX XXXX. 

I sent a request to Equifax to have all of the incorrect information removed from my credit report, Pursuant to section 605B of the Fair Credit Reporting Act. I have sent them all the required documents ( Police report, Identity verification, Credit report with the false info circled ) but Equifax did not take any action regarding the incorrect and fraudulent information on my credit report. Equifax within minutes in most cases sent me an automated email saying your investigation is complete. Meanwhile, the two other credit bureaus removed the fraudulent info but Equifax sent a robotic automated response refusing to do anything. This is completely against the section 605B of the Fair Credit Reporting Act and Equifax should be held accountable.

Their actions are hurting me and my family massively. 

Claims/Disputes # with Equifax are XXXX XXXX, XXXX, XXXX, XXXX, XXXX, XXXX, XXXX, XXXX, XXXX, XXXX, XXXX, XXXX, XXXX, XXXX, XXXX, XXXX, XXXX. 

Please make Equifax comply with the Fair Credit Reporting Act and remove all incorrect/fraudulent information as the result of Identity theft from my credit file. 
I appreciate your prompt attention to this matter, and await your reply. 

Sincerely, XXXX XXXX XXXX

Issue: Problem with customer service — 
Company: CAPITAL ONE FINANCIAL CORPORATION (WA)

On XX/XX/year>, I took out a XXXX XXXX XXXX  for {$500.00} at a XXXX Capital One XXXX. The check was destroyed by the person I sent it to so I had to obtain a new cashier 's check. I contacted Capital One over the phone a week or XXXX later and asked about next steps on how I would get my money back if the first check was destroyed. XXXX informed me I had to go to the physical branch for my inquiry. 

I walked to the physical branch and they informed me I had to wait XXXX days to get my money back because this was now treated as fraud. Once the XXXX day period was done I would receive the money back in my account. 

More than XXXX days passes and I never saw the money hit my account. I contact Capital One over the phone in XX/XX/year> and they informed me that I now have to submit a written notarized affidavit of lost, destroyed, or stolen cashier 's check, submit the affidavit to a branch, and then wait an additional XXXX  days for the funds to hit my account. The agent also knew my mailing/home address was in XXXXXXXX XXXX. This was never communicated to me by the branch teller back in XX/XX/year>. I submitted a complaint to the agent on the phone and highlighted the customer confusion and customer harm this process has created. The agents are misinformed and misstating rules and practices to their customers. 

On XX/XX/year>, I walk into a XXXX Capital One location and attempted to submit my notarized affidavit. The agent in the location told me there are XXXX branches in the XXXX. This again was never communicated to me by the agent back in XX/XX/year>. XXXX agent calls Capital One customer management and they tell him that I can only submit my affidavit in person at a branch. I pushed back and escalated on such guidance as this is an inconvenient and dead end suggestion. Was the expectation that I purchased a flight to a state with a branch? The XXXX agent called someone else and they told me I could fax or mail the letter. This was once again an experience where the Capital One agents are spreading misinformation to their customers which then causes customer harm and confusion. 

In terms of monetary harm, the {$500.00} that should already be in my account has now lost months of interest I could have accrued had my funds been sent to my account sooner or had I been given accurate information back in XX/XX/year>. 

I have not heard back on the status of my open complaint I submitted back in XXXX and we are nearing the XXXX day deadline period.

I sent a letter regarding the errors and unfamiliar entries on my credit report, but sadly, I haven't heard back in over 30 days. It seems like my concerns are being overlooked, and I feel taken advantage of. As per Section 611 ( a ), if these issues aren't investigated within 30 days, they should be removed from my credit report without delay. I might need to pursue legal action because of the stress this situation has put me under.

Issue: Fees or interest — Problem with fees
Company: REGIONS FINANCIAL CORPORATION (OH)

I have a vehicle fleet card program with  FleetCor.  They have made it very difficult to pay on time, which triggered numerous fees which have been extremely difficult to remove.     In   XXXX   XXXX     customers were unable to access their bills online, supposedly due to a computer upgrade. As FleetCor stopped sending bills, customers had no access to bills. Because bills were not paid, FleetCor started charging Fees, such as " High Risk '' Fees, " Late Fees '' -- and what I consider usery interest rates, Even Though FleetCor was at fault for not providing bills.     These fees continued to accumulate and reached in excess of {$1000.00} by the end of  XXXX . While my fuel bill was approximately {$1700.00} per month, for a total of approximately {$5000.00}.     I was patient at first because I received messages from FleetCor not to worry that they provide credits for late fees. BUT no credits arrived.     I Called in  XXXX . I was on hold for over an HOUR --  Yes  over an hour. I finally got a hold of a person in a call center who spoke poor English who had to then reach a supervisor to apply the proper credit to my account. Guess what, the following month, Not all the credits applied, But all the additional fees kept piling on.     So I called in  XXXX , and the call center answered and were unwilling to apply any credits. I was furious. I told the person that I wanted to cancel my account. That triggered my call to go to a " customer advocate ''. So, it was not until I threatened to cancel my account that I received someone willing to help me get credit for all the Late Fees that piled on. She was extremely gracious, removed all the late fees and even allowed me to pay my gas bill on the spot. I then cancelled my account with FleetCor feeling their deceptive practices does not deserve my business and went to  XXXX , their competitor.     I find  FleetCor  's tactics fraudulent, doing whatever they can to accumulate late fees. I had trouble with them in the past, where checks that were sent ten days in advance were not posted into their account until after the due date, triggering late fees.

Hello, I am XXXX XXXX. I am making a complaint to Equifax in regards to the account on my credit report called XXXX XXXX XXXX. I finally received the letter of verification/investigation results stating Equifax is not reporting the account. I am disgruntled with Equifax 's professionalism as you stated you are not reporting XXXX XXXX, however it is still on my credit report per myEquifax. 

Again, this violates my rights and is against FCRA and FCDPA. 
Not to mention this is way out of the 15 day window of validation, yet this is still reporting! 
I demand Equifax to update my credit report immediately and send proof of so via mail. 
Thank you,

Company: Duncan Solutions, lnc. (DC)

On  XXXX   XXXX ,  XXXX , I was wrongfully charged with a toll violation while driving in  XXXX . I was driving home to   XXXX   XXXX  .     In  XXXX   XXXX , I received the first notice of the alleged violation. I promptly appealed the violation in  XXXX  by mailing the required evidence that showed my   XXXX    account had a positive balance on  XXXX / XXXX / XXXX .     On  XXXX / XXXX / XXXX , I was sent a FINAL NOTICE OF TOLL VIOLATION. Again this violation alleged I had driven through a  XXXX   XXXX  without remitting the {$4.00} toll due. An Administrative fee ( {$25.00} ), a Civil Penalty ( {$25.00} ), and a Civil Penalty Surcharge ( {$12.00} ) took the total amount I allegedly owed the   XXXX   XXXX   XXXX   XXXX   to {$66.00}.     Again, I responded promptly. A  XXXX  employee told me over the phone I could send my appeal via email to   XXXX   XXXX    Custome r Service. So I emailed  XXXX  a printout of my  XXXX  Account Activity, this time highlighted and circled, showing them that my account had a positive balance on that date.I emailed this to them on  XXXX   XXXX ,  XXXX .     On  XXXX   XXXX ,  XXXX , I received an email response from   XXXX   saying " Im happy to inform you that your appeal was approved, granting you the waiver of the previously applied administrative fee  ( s ). '' The l etter contained a request to contact   XXXX   to pay the {$4.00} toll. The letter did not explain why I still needed to pay {$4.00} toll ; I thought my account activity proved that I did not owe any toll. The letter did not mention any deadline to pay this toll, did not state any possibility of the administrative fees being re-charged, and did not state any deadline before the debt would be sent to Collections.     In  XXXX   XXXX , I opened a Notice of Assignment to a  Collection Agency dat ed  XXXX / XXXX / XXXX , from Professional Account Management, LLC ( " PAM '' ). The total amount due is listed at {$66.00}.     On  XXXX / XXXX / XXXX , I called PAM to dispute the charge. The agent,  XXXX , who would not give me her badge or ID number but stated her initials were "  XXXX , '' told me she was making note of my dispute but that she could not help me, I would have to talk to  XXXX .     I immediately called  XXXX , and spoke to  XXXX  and then a supervisor. Both parties would not admit any fault, and simply said that because I did not pay the {$4.00} in  XXXX , they had referred the entire amount of this completely bogus claim against me, {$66.00}, to the collections agency. I told them I would pay {$4.00} right then and asked them to alert PAM that my debt was settled. They refused.
