Consumer complaint received 2024-06-18
Product: Debt collection — I do not know
Issue: Attempts to collect debt not owed — Debt is not yours
Company: EQUIFAX, INC. (FL)

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.

Company: JPMORGAN CHASE & CO. (CA)

I received a 1099-c from chase bank stating I had a freedom credit card from XXXX to XXXX. I called and reported the situation as fraud and would like it investigated. After a month they said it was my account. I then ask them to send me all information about the card ( number and billing details ) they sent me the information. I believe my debit card ( possibly XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX at the time was compromised ) somehow my debit activities were linked to a chase freedom card. I called some of the businesses on the report, XXXX and XXXX and they have no records of that card during the time period. There are multiple companies I have to backtrack to find more information. I believe chase has not done enough to prove fraud.

Company: Credence Resource Management, LLC (AL)

I am writing to bring attention to the provisions outlined in the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ), specifically 15 U.S. Code 1681, Section 602 ( a ). This section emphasizes the critical role of consumer reporting agencies ( CRAs ) in our financial system and underscores the importance of treating consumers fairly, impartially, and with respect for their privacy rights. 
As both XXXX and XXXX operate as consumer reporting agencies, it is imperative that they adhere to the principles set forth in the FCRA. As a consumer, I assert my right to ensure that my private information remains confidential and is not shared without proper authorization. This right is supported by 15 U.S. Code 6801, which places an obligation on financial institutions to safeguard customer privacy. 
Furthermore, according to 15 U.S. Code 1681, Section 604 ( a ) ( 2 ), consumer reporting agencies may only furnish consumer reports with explicit written consent. I have not provided such consent, and any previous consent granted to XXXX, XXXX, or other information furnishers to credit agencies is hereby revoked. 
Additionally, 15 U.S. Code 6802 ( b ) mandates that financial institutions inform consumers of their right to opt out of information disclosure. Regrettably, this requirement has not been met by XXXX and XXXX. 
Moreover, 15 U.S. Code 1681C ( a ) ( 5 ) explicitly prohibits consumer reporting agencies from including adverse items in reports without proper authorization. XXXX and XXXX must adhere to this standard. 
Lastly, 15 U.S. Code 1681s-2 ( A ) ( 1 ) prohibits the furnishing of inaccurate information, while 15 U.S. Code 1681e requires consumer reporting agencies to maintain reasonable procedures to prevent violations. Unfortunately, it appears that XXXX and XXXX are falling short in meeting these standards. 
Thank you for your attention to this matter.
