Issue: Attempts to collect debt not owed — Debt is not yours
Company: EQUIFAX, INC. (IL)

I want to stress that I did not give written permission for these specific transactions to be included in my consumer report. At no point did I authorize these entries, and their presence on my report is unwarranted. Consequently, I am formally requesting that these accounts be blocked and removed from my report immediately. 

It is important to clarify that this request is not due to any error or negligence on my part. There has been no oversight or misunderstanding on my end. Instead, this issue arises solely from the fact that I did not explicitly authorize the inclusion of these transactions in my report. I am diligent about maintaining the accuracy and privacy of my financial records, and these unauthorized entries compromise that integrity. 

I trust that you will handle this matter with the urgency and seriousness it deserves. Please confirm the removal of these transactions from my report as soon as possible. Thank you for your prompt attention to this issue.

On XXXX, I received a {$1000.00} deposit through XXXX from an unknown person. This person called me saying it was an accident and if I could return the money. I sent {$1000.00} on the same day to the same phone number. 

On XXXX, the original deposit was reversed without my consent or without informing me. I contacted Capital One multiple times and they refused to reverse the transfer or cancel the scammers reversal. 

There was no indication at any point that the original deposit was unsecure or at risk of being reversed. 

I believe Capital One and XXXX are at fault for allowing the transfer of unsecured money in the first place and for not protecting their customers from flaws in their system that scammers can exploit.

XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX Maryland XXXX Date of Birth : XX/XX/XXXX SS # : XXXX Dear Sir/Madam, I am writing in regards to my recent credit report, which has highlighted several inaccuracies that I believe need to be addressed. After reviewing my report, I have found the following negative items which I believe are inaccurate and damaging to my credit score. 

Firstly, the bankruptcy listed under case number XXXX is an error. I am unsure of how you were able to verify this information when other bureaus have not, and have removed it from my credit report. I urge you to remove this inaccurate information immediately to prevent further damage to my credit score. 

Secondly, the XXXX inquiry listed on XXXX has reached the statute of limitation. I request that this inquiry be removed from my report as it is no longer relevant. 

Thirdly, the XXXX account listed under account number XXXX may have incorrect information. I request that you verify the payment status, balance, comments, payment history, and account number to ensure accuracy. If there are any errors, I request that you fix or delete this account from my report completely. 

Lastly, the XXXX XXXX account listed under account number XXXX is not associated with me. I have never had any business relationship with this company, and therefore this account can not belong to me. I request that this unknown account be deleted from my credit report right away.
