Issue: Improper use of your report — Reporting company used your report improperly
Company: EQUIFAX, INC. (NY)

Upon reviewing my credit report, I discovered several accounts that I do not recognize and believe to be fraudulent. These accounts appear to be opened without my authorization, and I am deeply concerned about the potential impact on my credit standing and financial well-being. I suspect that I am a victim of identity theft, as I have not initiated or authorized the opening of these accounts. The presence of these unauthorized accounts on my credit report has caused me significant distress and uncertainty about the security of my personal information. I have attached a copy of my credit report highlighting the unrecognized accounts for your reference.

I was the victim of a telephone/internet phishing scam where I was defrauded for my personal information by a scam involving being contacted by someone posing as a representative of my bank, XXXX XXXX . My driver 's license, social security number and card, and debit card information were stolen by the criminal. After receiving calls, texts and letters from collection agencies in XXXX, I checked my credit report to find numerous fraudulent accounts that I did not authorize or create. This has created extreme stress on both myself and family, and has disallowed me access to financial services for vital things needed in our life currently. I have not supplied proof under the doctrine of estoppel by silence, XXXXXXXX XXXX XXXXXXXX ( XXXX  ) XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX. I may presume that no proof of alleged debt, nor therefore any such debt actually exists. 

I have attached the FTC Identity Theft Report that was filed and I have attached my XXXX Credit Report showing that they have removed all the fraudulent accounts. I need XXXX, Equifax, and XXXX to remove the accounts today.

I demand to see Verifiable Proof ( an original Consumer ContracXXXX with my Signature on it ) of the accounts listed below. Your failure to positively verify these accounts has hurt my ability to obtain credit.

Company: CARRINGTON MORTGAGE SERVICES, LLC (IN)

In XX/XX/year>, I was late on my payment for the first time in payment history. On XX/XX/XXXX, I made the missed XXXX payment via ACH autopay, and I also sent in the XXXX payment via my bank pay bill pay through XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX. The money left my account but was never applied to my mortgage account. I called on or around XX/XX/XXXX to inquire about why they funds had not been applied. The customer service representative said that it may be in a pending status, but I could clearly see that it had been posted out of my bank account. The representative told me that I may have to wait to show Carrington my bank statement to prove that the payment had cleared. I was dumbfounded because that would mean waiting for my payment to be deemed late to prove that I had paid. Today, XX/XX/XXXX, I looked at my bank account only to see that Carrington had rejected my payment. I called their customer service, and the rude representative said that my bank payment was not deemed to be a certified payment, so they rejected the funds! I was told to use XXXX XXXX oXXXX XXXX XXXX  to pay, which both of those charge outrageous fees. I can wire money from my bank if they MUST have wired funds, but they fail to provide those instructions. It is absolutely terrible to think that a company as awful as this one services loans for our veterans. They should be out of business for their business practices that they want people to fail on their mortgage. I just want to make my payment!

Violation of Consumer Rights under 15 U.S. Code 1681c-2 I hope this letter finds you well. I am writing to bring to your attention a matter of significant concern regarding the reporting of an account on my credit report that has been formally reported as an incident of identity theft. As a consumer, I believe that my rights, as outlined in 15 U.S. Code 1681c-2, are being violated, and I am seeking your prompt assistance in resolving this matter. 
Details of the affected account : Account attached below I have previously submitted a detailed report of identity theft, along with supporting documentation, to Equifax. Despite this, I have observed that the information related to the fraudulent account is still being reported on my credit file. 
Section 1681c-2 of the Fair Credit Reporting Act explicitly outlines the rights of consumers in cases of identity theft, emphasizing the obligation of credit reporting agencies to block the reporting of information resulting from identity theft. It is my understanding that credit reporting agencies are required to promptly block the reporting of inaccurate information resulting from identity theft. 
I am deeply concerned that the continued reporting of this fraudulent account is not only damaging my credit standing but also infringing upon my rights as a consumer. I am seeking immediate action to rectify this situation and bring my credit report into compliance with the provisions of the law. 
I kindly request that Equifax conduct a thorough investigation into this matter and take immediate steps to block the reporting of the fraudulent account on my credit report. 
I trust that Equifax will prioritize this matter and work diligently to rectify the violation of my consumer rights. 
Thank you for your prompt attention to this serious issue.
