I recently looked at my credit report and see some violations on an account reporting to all three bureaus, Now, i did submit disputes last week to Equifax and XXXX showing that this account was Verified. According to the FCRA everything has to be 100 % accurate across the 3 Bureaus. The account that I'm referring to is to XXXXXXXX XXXX XXXX # XXXX. I'm Disputing the date last active so, like i said everything has to be 100 % correct across the 3 Bureaus and if not its a Violation of the FCRA. Below ill be uploading a picture of the credit report, but its showing 3 different dates as follows for XXXX its showing XX/XX/XXXX for XXXX its showing XX/XX/XXXX and EQUIFAX is showing XX/XX/XXXX. As you can see this account has been re-aged and that's a VIOLATION of the FCRA and need to be REMOVED.

The Fair Credit Reporting Act ( 15 U.S. Code 1681 ) says ( 1 ) The banking system is dependent upon fair and accurate credit reporting. Inaccurate credit reports directly impair the efficiency of the banking system, and unfair credit reporting methods undermine the public confidence which is essential to the continued functioning of the banking system.

So whenever there is a violation under the FCRA, it impairs the efficiency of the banking system. This is a violation of my privacy with my consumer report, since I control what is listed and what is not. In the event that any accounts are reported without my written consent, that is considered identity theft.

This is a violation of both 15 U.S. Code 1681b ( 2 ) and 15 U.S. Code 1681c-2. This leads way to civil liability against the credit reporting agency for negligent and willful noncompliance under 15 U.S. Code 1681n, which allows for {$1000.00} per violation, for account listed without my expressed written consent.

Issue: Unexpected or other fees — 
Company: WESTERN UNION COMPANY, THE (IN)

I purchased a money order for {$1000.00} through Western Union and XXXX. On XX/XX/year>, I requested a refund. However, since that date, I have not received the money, despite repeatedly contacting Western Union customer service.

Every time I call customer service, they tell me to wait 24 hours, 48 hours, or a week, but they never resolve the issue. On one occasion, they sent me a check, but when I went to cash it, the cashier verified it with Western Union and informed me that the check was invalid. Since then, I have not received any further checks, and I have been waiting for months with no resolution.

I have followed up multiple times, and Western Union continues to tell me to wait, but they have not sent me
the money I am owed. This delay has been going on since XX/XX/XXXX, and they keep making me wait without resolving the issue.

In XX/XX/year>, I discovered several unauthorized accounts and transactions on my Equifax credit report. These accounts were opened without my knowledge or consent, indicating that I am a victim of identity theft. I immediately filed an identity theft report with the appropriate authorities to address the issue. Despite having no involvement with these accounts, they continue to appear on my credit report, and their balances are being attributed to me. 

I contacted Equifax to dispute these fraudulent accounts, demanding their immediate removal in compliance with the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ). The fraudulent accounts and balances are impacting my credit, and I have taken every step necessary to rectify the situation, including submitting an identity theft report and notifying Equifax of the dispute. These actions, as required by law, should prompt Equifax to remove all fraudulent items from my credit report.
