Company: EQUIFAX, INC. (AL)

I looked at my credit report and noticed that there were fraudulent accounts, incorrect public record reporting, as well as, numerous errors in the addresses, telephone numbers, and employment information on my credit report. I then filed several disputes with the furnishers of the information by way of the credit reporting agencies. I then sent additional information to the creditors after they requested it. I did inform them that the items were because of Identity Theft and I also sent in the proper documentation in the form of a Federal Identity Theft Report, A Dispute Affidavit signed and notarized informing them of what I was requesting, per my rights as a consumer under the FCRA ( Section 623 ( a ) ( 6 ) and Section 623 ( a ) ( 2 ) ) ( Section 605 ( B ) and Section 605 ( f ), the accounts that I was requesting to be blocked or deleted because of the ID Theft, ( Section 623 ( b ) ( 1 ) ( E ) ), as well as the remedy for the effects of the Identity Theft. Both the credit reporting agencies and the creditors themselves. received copies of all this information and for the most part, they both basically ignored the laws of the Federal FCRA 15 USC Section 1681-1681y, Section 623 ( a0 ( 1 ) ( A ) and ( a ) ( 1 ) ( C ) Reporting Inacurate Information 623 ( e ) Accuracy of Information Provided by CRA and the finishers of said information.623 ( a ) ( 2 ) Duty To Correct and Update Information These are some of the laws that they have broken.

This specifically what I sent to PHH : I checked online and now it states that we are XXXX days past due. That we owe since XX/XX/XXXX. However, I would like to reiterate my concerns that the payment that we allegedly owe are payments that were made to XXXX XXXX  when XXXX was the loan servicer, we made a payment in XXXX, XXXX and XXXX before we were informed that your company had taken over. We only came to find out that your company had taken in XXXX. If those payments made to XXXX were supposed to go to PHH, XXXX why were we notified of the change initially. B. What happens to the payments that were made to XXXX that should have gone to PHH. Would it be our responsibility to request that money be returned or is it your responsibility to recover those funds. Cause to my understanding it would like we are being double billed by both your company and XXXX. I would like clarification on this matter as soon as possible. 

Also I want to point out that we can never speak to anyone in loss mitigation and the liasion that is assigned can never give us an actually answer to any of our questions. 

Also we made a payment that was supposed to be applied to a back balance. It was applied to the forbearance without answering my emails of the concerns I had with respects to it. 

I would like to point out that both my mother and I both work for a lawyer.

It appears that my credit file has been compromised. Again, I was going through my records & noticed many items which do not belong to me. Since Im a stickler for research, I found that under section 605b of the FCRA you are required by law to remove any items which are found to be opened due to identity theft. The dispute items do not belong to me. Im attaching the required FTC Report for you ( learned through more research both parties require ). Please remove these files.

My account with TRANSUNION was never late! I have had exceptional payment history with XXXX  XXXX and all payments were placed on Autopay. This late payment that is reporting is a result on a systematic error on their end processing my payment.

This was clearly a billing error made my the company and is not a reflection of my payment experience which violates USC Code 1681eb. This error has caused severe hard to my reputation, my character, my mode of living and to my family!

I demand the late payment reported in ( MONTHS REPORTING LATE ) to be removed. 
They are not in compliance with the following law. 15 USC 1666b and its requirements set the standards and the guidance for a creditor to treat a payment as late, yet they are reporting a payment as late and they did not comply with the law!

15 USC 1666b ( a ) Time to make payments A creditor may not treat a payment on a credit card account under an open end consumer credit plan as late for any purpose, unless the creditor has adopted reasonable procedures designed to ensure that each periodic statement including the information required by section 1637 ( b ) of this title is mailed or delivered to the consumer not later than 21 days before the payment due date.

TRANSUNION Never Sent the periodic statement along with the disclosures from section 1637 ( b ).

I have requested proof that this information was mailed or delivered 21 days before the payment due date and this information was requested in good faith pursuant rule 1002 and It was never provided. 


This is unfair, illegal, fraudulent, and not equitable to me as a consumer! 


Delete the late payments from my consumer reports

Company: Experian Information Solutions Inc. (GA)

I requested the credit bureaus update my personal address to my current and correct residence of XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX, GA XXXX, where I have lived for over three years. I provided supporting documentation, including a recent utility bill and a copy of my driver 's license, as proof of residency. 

Despite my request and the provision of sufficient documentation, the credit bureaus have failed to update my address and remove all other addresses from my credit profile. This inaction is causing me significant inconvenience and may negatively affect my credit standing and ability to conduct financial transactions.

Under the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ), 15 U.S. Code 1681, I have the right to request and expect that the information maintained in my credit report is accurate, complete, and verifiable. The bureaus ' failure to update my personal address may constitute a violation of this law, as they are not ensuring the accuracy of my personal information.

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.

This is one of my multiple attempts to notify credit bureaus that I am a victim of identity theft and that I want to query certain records in my documents that resulted from the crime. The documents I'm looking at have nothing to do with any transactions involving goods, services, or money that I've made or approved. Assuming no one cares, remove any material in my credit report that was obtained through alleged fraud or extortion.

Subject : Urgent Request for Investigation and Deletion of Incorrect Charge-Off XXXX I am contacting you to formally challenge and seek immediate investigation and removal of incorrect charge-off entries made by a third-party collection agency on my credit report. These entries have severely impacted my financial standing, hindering my ability to secure a home mortgage, an auto loan, and additional credit facilities. 
I wish to highlight that I have no contractual ties with this collection agency. Their actions of reporting my credit information without any contractual basis are unjustified and breach multiple legal norms concerning credit reporting and consumer privacy : 1. **Unauthorized Reporting** : The reported charge-offs, which suggest debts I do not recognize, have been documented on my credit report without my agreement, violating established principles of lawful credit reporting, also referred to as certificates of indebtedness. 
2. **Absence of Form 1099-C** : I was not provided with Form 1099-C for debt cancellation by the agency, which is essential for accurate tax reporting and compliance with IRS requirements. This omission could lead to potential risks of tax non-compliance. 
XXXX. **Infringement of Privacy Rights** : This action violates the Privacy Act of 1974 ( 5 U.S. Code 552a ), which ensures stringent safeguards against the unauthorized release of personal information.

4. **Lack of Contractual Agreement** : There is no formal contract between myself and the agency, thus their reporting of my credit information directly infringes on my consumer rights.

5. **Exercising Opt-Out Rights** : In accordance with regulations under 12 CFR 1016.1, 12 CFR 1016.4, 12 CFR 1016.7, 15 USC 6802 ( b ), and 15 USC 6805, I am formally revoking any implied permissions for the dissemination or reporting of my credit information. 
Given these concerns, I urgently request a review and elimination of these incorrect records from my credit report, and I ask for a written confirmation of this deletion. Please note that I am prepared to take further actions, including legal recourse, to rectify my credit report and protect my rights. 
Thank you for your immediate attention to this matter, and I look forward to your prompt response and resolution.

I lost my wallet while attending a football game in XXXX that included my driver 's license and social security card. I was unable to recover it. I recently pulled a copy of my credit report and noticed addresses and accounts that I have no affiliation with. I contacted the credit reporting agencies and notified them that someone has accessed my information and applied for lines of credit in my name and a fraud alert was placed on my account. I not only contacted each bureau by phone but requested verification and that all fraudulent addresses be removed from my account by mail in XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX. I requested the accounts be verified and have yet to receive a formal response. Furnishing accounts to my credit profile in result from identity fraud violates FCRA 15 USC 1681c-2 and my consumer rights. 

I also noticed credit inquiries listed on my reports that I did not authorize or apply for from the following creditors : XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX. Furnishing these inquiries I have no knowledge of or have given written consent for is in violation of 15 USC 1681B. 

I also requested that all fraudulent addresses that I have never resided be deleted and my current any only address be updated on my profile. I see that credit reporting agencies have also not updated this information per my request.

In this case I told them to refund an amount of XXXX $ ( XXXX of XXXX $ ), and they refused. 
Afterwards they sent me {$1.00} check, with an apology letter. 

But today I noticed that I owe more than {$300.00} ( with interests ). 
I did not get any credit from AMEX ; only cash bonus. But they charge an interest every month.And they informed this to credit offices. 

How can I cancel this misinformation from 3 credit offices?
