Consumer complaint received 2024-07-11
Product: Credit reporting or other personal consumer reports — Credit reporting
Issue: Problem with a company's investigation into an existing problem — Was not notified of investigation status or results
Company: EQUIFAX, INC. (SC)

I originally reported the account- XXXX XXXX XXXX ( amount {$4000.00} ) to the bureaus because I did not knowingly agree to XXXX timeshare putting a credit card in my name and charging it. XXXX removed the account, but Equifax and XXXX did not - due to the credit card company reporting as accurate. 

I contacted the credit card company on XX/XX/scrub>XX/XX/2024 and explained the situation. They closed the account and put it under investigation. I asked if I could receive something stating that the account was closed so that I can report to the credit bureaus. The rep told me I'd have to mail in a request for that, which didn't make any sense to me. I filed another dispute with XXXX and Equifax that the account was closed. The credit card company still reported the account as active. 

I called back on XX/XX/XXXXXX/XX/2024. They confirmed that the account was closed and stated that it would take 30 days to investigate. I asked why I needed to mail in a request for proof of account closure and/or investigation status. That rep to me I didn't need to mail anything. She confirmed my address and told me I'd receive something within 7-10 business days. I did not. 

I called back XX/XX/2024 and they first said a letter did go out. After repeating that I never received anything- she said they don't have a way of resending. I told her that made no sense. She then placed me on hold and came back minutes later to say that a letter was actually sent out on XX/XX/XXXXXX/XX/XXXX. When asked why it wasn't sent out on XX/XX/XXXX - she stated that the address wasn't updated. I told her that I've spoken to Noone from XX/XX/XXXX - to XX/XX/XXXX - so what address did they send to? She refused to provide an address. She then said she needed to transfer me to security so that they can get the correct address from me ( despite them already sending me a bill previously ). She also mentioned that the investigation may take 90 days. I told her that I was first told 30 - now she's saying 90. She said it takes up to 2 billing cycles, not exceeding 90 days. 2 billing cycle is 60 days - so nothing she said makes sense. 

She then transferred me to security, and I had to provide the address again. 

It seems as though I'm just being told misleading things. I haven't received anything regarding the investigation, and I don't understand why the company is still reporting the account as active to the bureau.

Company: Ability Recovery Services, LLC (FL)

I just seen a account from Ability Recovery Services LLC pop up on my credit report randomly one day ( Back in XXXX-XXXX  of 2019 ). So a few months go by then I decided to write them a letter around XX/XX/XXXX or so XXXX ishh and let them know my concerns regarding the bill and I would like VALIDATION not Verification of the item on my credit report. They then sent me a letter back saying basically you owe this debt to us and we bought it from the original creditor XX/XX/XXXX. They then have an attached document to go with it showing some doctor or so they say I went to they claim, and just an amount? I then sent in a letter letting them know if thats the case they're violating HIPPA Law by releasing medical documents without a hippa release form and a suit will be filed by me and my attorney if it is not removed from my credit profile. 

Also detailing the guidelines under the FCRA. It's been 2 weeks with no response of validation, full break down of the bill, bill of sale, or proof of a Hippa Release form. The 2nd letter regarding the violation was sent out XX/XX/XXXX & received XX/XX/XXXX. Today is XX/XX/2019. 2 weeks from the day. I dont want to have to take legal action. And it's best for everybody if its just removed from my credit profile. If not I will sue for monetary damages, loss of wages, and legal/lawyer fees. I have just spoken with my Attorney today and we're ready to take all courses of action but would rather not to avoid senseless situations like this but will if need be.

" I was shocked and devastated to see credit inquiries without my knowledge. I have reached out to the creditors to ask the following but they have FAILED to provide such.

Inquiry Details : Ask the creditor to provide specific details about the inquiry, such as the date it was made, the purpose of the inquiry and the type of credit product or service associated with the inquiry.

Application Documentation : Request copies of any credit applications or other documents related to the inquiry. This may include application forms, agreements, or disclosures that you would have completed or received when applying for credit.

Authorization Documentation : Ask the creditor to provide evidence of your authorization for the inquiry. This could include signed consent forms, agreements, or disclosures that demonstrate you provided permission for the creditor to access your credit report.

Communication Records : Request copies of any correspondence or communication between you and the creditor regarding the inquiry. This may include emails, letters, or notes documenting your interactions with the creditor.

Internal Records : Ask the creditor to provide internal records or notes related to the inquiry, including any decision-making processes or reasons for initiating the inquiry.

Identity Verification : If identity theft is a concern, request verification measures taken by the creditor to confirm your identity before initiating the inquiry. This may include verification of personal information or identity documents provided during the application process.

Compliance Documentation : Inquire about the creditor 's compliance with relevant laws and regulations governing credit inquiries, such as the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ) and Equal Credit Opportunity Act ( ECOA ).
