Issue: Incorrect information on your report — Information belongs to someone else
Company: EQUIFAX, INC. (FL)

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.

I have already sent a letter addressing the inaccuracies and unknown items on my credit report, but unfortunately, I have not received any response even after 30 days. It feels like I'm being taken advantage of and my disputes are being ignored. According to Section 611 ( a ), if these items are not investigated within 30 days, they should be promptly removed from my credit report. Since it has been over 30 days, I expect these accounts to be updated immediately. If not, I will have no choice but to pursue legal action due to the stress this situation has caused me. Additionally, my information was also affected by the Equifax, XXXX, and XXXX data breach, which raises concerns about the security of my personal data.

Company: TRANSUNION INTERMEDIATE HOLDINGS, INC. (TX)

A few weeks ago I sent letters to all 3 credit bureaus regarding some items on my credit report which I know are not accurate which is a violation of the FCRA and FDCPA and you must abide by the law. Everything I have provided in my letters is true and accurate to my knowledge. Ive received emails and letters saying Im using a 3rd party which is incorrect because I am the one sending my letters out and filing this complaint with no help from a credit repair company or 3rd party. The CRAs are in violation of my rights due to not providing a notice of dispute and for failure to communicate to me that I disputed stuff on my credit. I request these accounts to be deleted from my credit asap or I will take legal action and hire a lawyer. I want to purchase a house soon and this holding me back. 

I would like the items I disputed in my letters to be handled accordingly based on the reasons that I put in my letters.

My student loans are showing up duplicated on my credit report. I took out an approximately XXXX loan to pay for law school at University of Michigan, graduating in XXXX. I began payments in XX/XX/XXXX when the freeze ended. Sometime in XX/XX/XXXX, my loans were transferred from XXXX to XXXX. My loans then began appearing duplicate in XX/XX/XXXX. I now have approximately XXXX remaining on my XXXX  balance, which is correctly showing up, but there is also a XXXX balance incorrectly showing up for XXXX on my credit report. 

I called XXXX and XXXX on XX/XX/XXXX, complaining of the issue. Each company blames the other, but all agree I do not owe the additional XXXX loan. I have now filed XXXX disputes with Experian, all of which have been denied ( XX/XX/XXXX, XX/XX/XXXX, XX/XX/XXXX, XX/XX/XXXX, XXXX. XXXX ). I have received emails from XXXX and XXXX confirming that I do not owe this duplicate balance which I can send along. I thought XXXX had resolved, but I spoke again with a representative who disclaimed responsibility. Experian tells me XXXX  is responsible. All parties agree this reporting of the XXXX loan is in error, but XXXX and XXXX refuse to take responsibility for correctly reporting that balance as closed to Experian.

I recently did an investigation on my credit report which has caused confusion, stress and the misuse of my credit file, finding multiple inaccurate, unverified and questionable items that the bureaus show not to have 100 % correct. 

Account Name : XXXX XXXX Account Number : XXXX The first inaccuracy I noticed, when I went into my local XXXX XXXX branch located in XXXX, Texas, I was given the paid off balance receipt of {$1400.00} due to making the first initial payment. However, the reporting balance amount on my credit report shows to be {$1500.00}, whereas the starting balance before my first payment was made of the loan was {$1500.00}? Are collection companies supposed to tack on additional fees? 

The second inaccuracy, when I pulled together my XXXX, XXXX and my Fico regarding the XXXX XXXX  account, I quickly noticed different months of receiving payment. Isnt my personal credit file that verily impacts my life, supposed to show accurate information? I have felt unheard and overwhelmed with credit bureaus not making sure everything is verified correctly before throwing any collections onto my credit file. The decisions of the credit bureaus, takes a huge impact on my financial future, therefore needing to make sure collections are verified and correct with everyone involved. Please take care of this matter promptly with a deletion due to inaccuracy and incorrect information that violates the FCRA law. Thank you for your time.
