Company: EQUIFAX, INC. (ME)

I am writing to formally request the removal of several accounts and inquiries from my credit report. These accounts and inquiries are unauthorized and does not belong to me. The presence of data breach has negatively impacted my credit standing, leading to a significant drop in my FICO score.

Upon reviewing my credit report, I discovered multiple accounts and inquiries that I did not recognize or authorize. These inaccurate information in my report have resulted in negative remarks that are adversely affecting my credit score and financial reputation.

To Whom It May Concern, I am writing to dispute the account referenced above. I have disputed this account information as inaccurate with you, and you have come back to me and stated you were able to verify this debt. How is this possible? Under the laws of the FDCPA, I have contacted the collection agency myself and have been unable to get them to verify that this is indeed my debt. 

I enclose copies of my requests to the collection agency, asking them to validate my debts, and the receipts showing that I sent these letter-certified signature requests. This debt is not mine and I was given no evidence of my obligation to pay this debt to this collection agency. 

The FCRA requires you to verify the validity of the item within 30 days. If the validity can not be verified, you are obligated by law to remove the item. There is a clear case of unverified debt here, and I urge you to remove this item before I am forced to take legal action. 

In the event that you can not verify the item pursuant to the FCRA, and you continue to list the disputed item on my credit report I will find it necessary to sue you for actual damages and declaratory relief under the FCRA. According to this regulation, I may sue you in any qualified state or federal court, including small claims court in my area. 

While I prefer not to litigate, I will use the courts as needed to enforce my rights under the FCRA. 

I look forward to an uneventful resolution of this matter.

XX/XX/XXXX I received mail via XXXX from Midland Credit Management regarding a debt ending in account XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX I wrote a letter back to Midland Credit Management on XX/XX/XXXX and mailed the same day, requesting many documentation. 

First off in that letter I stated I disputed the validity of the debt and that I need more information. 

I asked for verification and documentation that there is a valid basis of claiming that I am required to pay the current creditor. Midland Credit Management did not send any written agreement, or any bill of sale. Theyve only sent me a letter stating that they were required to collect and flat out told me in the letter that yes the debt is mine and that they really dont need to provide anything else but XXXX page of a credit card statement which shows a previous balance. 

Before that theyve sent about XXXX letters threatening suit. And I am still waiting on the proof Ive asked for in that letter I sent because you can not just hand someone a statement and say here its yours pay it. Theyve now file their suit in XXXX XXXX court. I am not filing a complaint for this unlawful behavior

I made my mortgage payment on time however it had a small shortage due to an escrow amount change. The bank impounded my monies, did not apply them, did not return them Rather they held them with full use of the funds and did not compensate me interest. 
The amount that was sent in on time easily covered the principal and interest on the payment as well as 90 % of the escrow. The remaining shortage was already in escrow reserve so I had enough personal funds to meet the commitment. The bank also did not use my full contact information to notify me of the issue, e mail mobile numbers for myself and my wife were ignored. A letter was sent out and a message was left on an old work number. At the least horrible customer service but truly a deceptive business practice. They gather this information leaving the customer secure in the knowledge that the bank can contact you in the event an issue arises. Since amble monies were present to make the payment in full. A payment was never received by the bank late, and the fact they just sat on my funds is a great abuse of the relationship. When I complained to the bank they said they could not help me because XXXX XXXX  is required to report all accounts fairly and accurately per the Fair Credit Reporting Act. Well if this is the case where is the fairness and accurate information. The report should say on time payment short a small amount. The late payment leads creditors to believe the payment was not made at all. This is a very big difference. I submit that the bank is in direct violation of the fair credit reporting act by not reporting ACCURATE information of the situation. This situation has caused me to be denied credit and dropped my score XXXX pts for my wife and I.
