Company: EQUIFAX, INC. (NJ)

The items listed below are reported on my personal credit file and were found in my reports with 3 credit reporting agencies. These items were opened fraudulently. Ive informed all parties of the issue & provided the necessary documentation to support my claim. The credit reporting agency ( CRA ) & data furnisher ( DF ) are not complying with federal law in regard to identity theft. Additionally, the credit reporting agency & data furnisher have not provided me with any evidence of an open contract, signed contract, or any valid proof this was opened, authorized, or created by me. Since this is a strict violation of FCRA laws I need the items removed from my file.

I regret to inform you that I can not accept your decision to dismiss my identity theft claim by attributing it to an error or a misrepresentation of material fact. It raises serious concerns as to how and why you possess the authority to determine what constitutes a material fact. It's worth noting that your role does not grant you the powers of a judge or jury, nor any inherent right to make such determinations. According to the guidelines set forth by the Federal Trade Commission ( FTC ), when an FTC identity theft report has been filed with a law enforcement agency ( which the FTC itself is ), the protocol is to adhere to the law and investigate accordingly. I am willing to grant you one final opportunity to process my request concerning my identity theft. Failure to do so will compel me to seek legal recourse through the judicial system. In such a scenario, you will be held accountable for the damage caused to my reputation, credit, and the emotional distress I have endured throughout this ordeal. It is highly likely that what constitutes a material fact will become abundantly clear during legal proceedings, and you may be required to compensate me for your negligence.

Dear Sir/Madam, I am writing to file a formal complaint and dispute regarding collections, incorrect name, closed accounts and incorrect addresses that have been reported inaccurately on my credit report. I believe that the collection agency responsible for these entries has violated consumer laws and regulations, including those outlined in the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau ( CFPB ) guidelines and the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ).

Violations of Consumer Laws and Regulations : 1. The collection agency has failed to provide validation information as required by 12 CFR 1006.34 ( b ) ( 5 ) before reporting the collections on my consumer report.

2. I have not been given an opportunity to dispute the accounts in accordance with 12 CFR 1006.34 ( c ) ( 40 ) ( i ), which grants consumers the right to dispute inaccuracies.

3. The collection agency 's actions amount to false, misleading, and deceptive practices, violating consumer rights as per the laws and regulations governing fair debt collection practices.

4. The collection agency has furnished accounts to consumer reporting agencies without providing the necessary disclosures, violating 12 CFR 1006.34 ( d ) and 15 USC 1681-S 2 ( 7 ) ( A ).

Requested Actions : 1. Remove the collections and closed accounts listed above from my credit report immediately.

2. Cease all communications with me via text, calls, and emails, as I am revoking any prior consent for such communications.

3. Provide validation of the debts, including the purchase agreement between the collection agency and the creditors.

4. Furnish proof of the collection agency 's licensing and bonding status.

I expect a thorough investigation into these matters and a written response within 30 days, as per regulatory requirements.

Additionally, I request that this complaint and dispute be forwarded to the respective credit bureaus for their review and corrective action.

Thank you for your attention to this matter. I look forward to a swift resolution and the removal of these inaccuracies from my credit report. 

Respectfully, XXXX XXXX XXXX

I filed a dispute for incorrect information on my credit report. I received an email from the credit bureau stating that they are assuming the disputes are coming from a 3rd party. They in fact did not come from a 3rd party. l even called them to verify it was me and they still refused to process my disputes. I wasted money on mailing my disputes out. I sent personal information to verify my identity through mail, just for them to not thoroughly investigate.

Hello, On XX/XX/XXXX, I purchased {$7100.00} in furniture from XXXX XXXXXXXX XXXX. At the time there were advertising 60 months XXXX percent interest. I was approved for this financing and credit card. I was also advised that I had to put down {$700.00} in cash which I did. No other store with XXXX percent financing asked me for a down payment but I complied. I received my first bill and my minimum balance is {$250.00}. That does not compute to 60 months of free financing. My minimum payment should be {$110.00}. I called Comenity Bank who the furniture is financed with and they said there is nothing they can do that sometimes they request a higher minimum balance and that the balance goes does each month. This is deceptive practices. It clearly states on my invoice 60 months XXXXXXXX XXXX  XXXX XXXX and that I need to pay the balance prior to the 60 month end date of XX/XX/XXXX. If I continue making payments of {$250.00}, I will be paid in full in 28 months. That is not what was advertised or explained to me. How can I fix this? I'm paying double and that's not what I budgeted for. 

I also just received the XXXX invoice and that minimum payment is {$240.00} Thank you, XXXX XXXX
