Company: EQUIFAX, INC. (GA)

Equifax Dispute Department XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX, GA XXXX Subject : Formal Dispute of Inaccurate Information in Credit Report Dear Equifax, I am writing to formally dispute an inaccurate entry on my credit report under the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ), 15 U.S.C. 1681. The account in question does not belong to me and is negatively affecting my credit score.

The details of the disputed account are as follows : I have never opened nor authorized this account. According to 281 SW715.719, I presume there is no evidence to support the alleged debt. Therefore, it can be concluded that no such debt actually exists.

Under the FCRA, you are required to : 1. Investigate my dispute within 30 days of receipt. 
2. Notify the creditor of my dispute.

3. Provide me with the results of your investigation in writing.

4. Delete or correct the inaccurate information if your investigation supports my claim.

Enclosed, please find copies of the following documents to support my dispute : 1. A copy of my credit report highlighting the disputed account.

2. A copy of my driver 's license for identification.

3. A notarized affidavit of identity theft.

4. Any additional documents ( e.g., police report, FTC Identity Theft Report ) that support my claim. 

If this error is not corrected promptly, I will have no choice but to seek legal action to protect my rights. I trust that Equifax will address this matter swiftly to avoid litigation. 

Please confirm receipt of this dispute letter and initiate your investigation immediately. I expect a timely resolution as stipulated by the FCRA. 

Thank you for your prompt attention to this matter. 

Sincerely, XXXX

This marks the multiple time I am reaching out regarding this issue, and I am deeply concerned about the impact it is having on my financial standing and credibility.

They have adversely affected my ability to access credit, secure favorable loan terms, and pursue other financial opportunities essential for my financial stability.

In XXXX of XXXX, I purchased a copy of my XXXX, Experian, and XXXX credit reports. Upon obtaining my reports and reviewing each report, I noticed a great deal of inconsistencies and inaccuracies on numerous accounts. I then reached out to each of the credit bureaus on XX/XX/XXXX via USPS certified mail ( priority ) with my personal identification information ( Driver 's License, SSN Card, & Bank statement ) and a letter asking for an investigation to verify/validate the accounts and the information reported on each report to ensure 100 % accuracy. In accordance with the Fair Credit Reporting Act, 15 U.S. Code 1681e ( b ) and 15 U.S. Code 1681i ( 5 ), all information reported must be 100 % accurate. I received notification from the bureaus that the accounts were verified and accurate. However, I recently ( XX/XX/XXXX ) purchased another copy of my credit report of all 3 bureaus and there are still inaccuracies and inconsistencies.How could this be possible if the credit bureaus indeed completed a complete and thorough investigation? It is my belief that these accounts were not properly investigated. According to the Fair Credit Reporting Act, Section 609 ( a ) ( 1 ) ( A ), credit bureaus are required by federal law to verify - through the physical verification of the original signed consumer contract any and all accounts posted on a credit report. The credit bureaus failed to provide me with any information regarding the verification of these accounts. I have since sent another request to each credit bureau via USPS Certified Mail ( priority ) regarding this matter.

After review of my credit report, I found that the XXXX XXXX XXXX had me in collections. First and foremost I never had a Credit Card with the XXXX XXXX XXXX. When I contacted them they had ABSOLUTELY NO KNOWLEDGE OF MY HAVING ANY ACCOUNT WITH THEM OF THEIR ASSOCIATE BANKS... So they stated that I should contact Jefferson Capital System, LLc. I did. I sent Jefferson Capital Systems a Debt Validation Letter.

I was told by Jefferson Capital System that my account with them was paid years before and that this account long ago should have been removed from my credit file. 
When I informed them that it was still on my credit report they said they did not understand why, They told me they would send me a letter to verify this. 
I do not understand why the XXXX XXXX XXXX  has me in collections when I have never had a Credit Card with them. And even if they are the bank that issues Credit Cards for another company, then that company should be the one to place me in collections not The XXXX XXXX XXXX

Company: JPMORGAN CHASE & CO. (CO)

I received a text message on XX/XX/2023 from a number with the same area code as my phone number. It stated it was from Chase : Fraud Prevention and said my card had been temporarily blocked. It had a web link of " https : //chasealertinc.com/JPmorgan.php? unlock ''. I did not click the link as I was suspicious of the text. Instead on XXXX around XXXX I logged into my Online banking account with Chase and reviewed the activity XXXX I noticed no unusual activity, and there was no indication on my online banking website that my card was blocked. I found the fraud reporting phone number on Chase 's website, and called it. I was prompted to verify the account information through an automated system. Once I was routed to a real person, I was again prompted to verify the account. The real person asked several questions that were uncomfortable for someone who suspects fraud on their account, such as giving an entire social security number. Even after the rest of the questions were answered correctly, the representative could not verify the account. She asked me for my phone number and said she would need to call me back to verify who I was. This made no sense as a verification method, since I could have given any phone number, and it is really easy to forward one phone number to another. When I raised this issue with the representative she said there was nothing else she could do without verifying my identity in this way. I then asked if there was a way for me to find the information I was looking for on Chase 's website, and she again said she could do nothing more for me. She then hung up on me. I do not live near any Chase branches, and I am not seeing any other customer service numbers for chase on their website, so I have no other way of contacting them to see if I have been the victim of fraud. Especially with one of their representatives asking for me to provide a code that it says they would never ask for ( 2 step verification processes ). How can consumers protect themselves from fraud when the people you are supposed to contact about potential fraud act so suspiciously?
