These can be combined On my credit report, you have shown incorrect accounts that should not be there at all. This is not only unjust to me, but it's also concerning, because I've never done or made any of the things you accuse me of. If you don't look into these accounts, I'll take legal action against you.

I sent my FTC report and my ID with proof of my address to EQUIFAX and EQUIFAX refuse to investigate and remove the unauthorized inquiries from my credit report. I have reason to believe and do so believe EQUIFAX is refusing to investigate and remove the unauthorized inquiries from my credit report because I didnt send a copy of my social security card. I have provided EQUIFAX with my social security number to authenticate and verify my account several times when I called the company on numerous occasions regarding this matter. I have successfully verified my account with EQUIFAX numerous times and each representative of the company refused to do their job. Someone stole my social security card and I recently went to apply for another one. The Social Security Administration gave me a confirmation receipt with my social security number at the appointment. The confirmation receipt is all I have to submit to EQUIFAX until my card arrives in the mail. Please see my initial dispute here.

Issue: Incorrect information on your report — Account information incorrect
Company: EQUIFAX, INC. (PA)

Dear Equifax and CFPB, I am writing to formally address significant inaccuracies and misleading information in my recent credit report that require immediate attention and correction. The presence of outdated, unverified, and erroneous data not only misrepresents my financial standing but also poses a detrimental impact on my creditworthiness. 



The following discrepancies have been identified in the report : 1. **Misleading Descriptions** : The report includes vague entries under critical fields such as " Date Opened, '' " Balance, '' and " Payment Status. '' The ambiguity of these terms can mislead consumers about their actual financial obligations and responsibilities. 



2. **Outdated Information** : The report lists a " Last Reported '' date of XX/XX/XXXX, while the " Date Last Active '' and " Date of Last Payment '' are recorded as XX/XX/XXXX. This inconsistency raises significant concerns regarding the accuracy and timeliness of the information being reported, in violation of the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ), which requires that consumer reports be accurate and up-to-date. 



3. **Inconsistent Account Details** : The report documents an account balance of {$5800.00} alongside a high credit amount of {$0.00} and a derogatory status. This conflicting information creates confusion and undermines the reliability of the report. 



4. **Inaccurate Payment History** : The two-year payment history is presented in a manner that lacks clarity, making it difficult to assess my actual payment behavior. Such unclear reporting can unjustly affect my credit score and overall financial reputation.

5. **Consumer Rights Violations** : The inaccuracies present in this report are in direct violation of my rights under the FCRA, which protects consumers from the reporting of incorrect, misleading, or unverifiable information. Additionally, the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act ( FDCPA ) entitles me to dispute inaccuracies and seek validation of reported debts. 



Given the severity of these issues, I kindly request that Equifax initiate an immediate investigation into these discrepancies and take corrective action to delete the erroneous information from my credit report. The inaccuracies in this report could significantly harm my financial health, and it is imperative that my credit report reflects accurate and verified information. 



I expect a prompt response and resolution to this matter. Thank you for your immediate attention to my request. 



Sincerely, XXXX XXXX

Consumer complaint received 2024-08-28
Product: Student loan — Federal student loan servicing
Issue: Incorrect information on your report — Account information incorrect
Company: MOHELA (FL)

This month my credit report decreased sharply as my loan servicer reported a duplicate of my loan to the credit bureau 's and is apparently listed correctly. My loan servicer is Mohela and they transitioned me to the new servicing portal in XXXX and they state that they report to the credit agency 's about the transition within 909 days. However, that period has long passed and only now in the month of XXXX has the new federal student loan number been added and the old one not removed. This is patently absurd considering it has negatively impacted my credit score. Additionally, the amount that has been reported to the credit agency 's is also much more than what my account has for me to pay off as I have been readily paying off my student loan since XXXX of this year ( XXXX  ). The fact that this is happening at the same time as the other loan transfer issues is ridiculous. There should not be a duplicate account on my credit report and Mohela needs to accurately report the total amount borrowed on the loans as that is patently wrong.

I did not approve these transactions to be included in my consumer report, neither in writing nor verbally. Therefore, I formally request that these accounts be blocked and removed from my record. This is not a mistake or a misrepresentation. These transactions were included without my explicit consent or instruction. 

I am stressing this to highlight the seriousness of my request. It is based on accurate information, and I am not attempting to deceive or manipulate the situation in any way. My intent is solely to ensure that my consumer report reflects only those transactions that I have authorized. I am committed to maintaining the integrity of my financial records and ensuring that they are accurate and truthful. My request is genuine and aimed at correcting an unauthorized inclusion, not at exploiting any system or misleading any party involved.
