Company: EQUIFAX, INC. (CA)

I received a few late payments on a mortgage at the tail end of XXXX and tried to dispute this information XX/XX/XXXX. The reason I was disputing this information is that it was awarded to my ex in our divorce. I have attached the divorce decree and judgement for the court that pre-date the late payments. Unfortunately, my ex-husband did not pay the mortgage and it affected me. The original divorce decree was dated XX/XX/XXXX, the late payments started in XX/XX/XXXX. 
I have uploaded the final judgement dated in XX/XX/XXXX. I was able to remove a portion of the late payments but there are still some on there. XXXX XXXX has a late in XXXX, XXXX has a late in XXXX, and Equifax has lates in XXXX and XXXX. I have tried disputing this information with the Credit Bureaus in XXXX, XXXX and XXXX to no complete avail. I am glad that they were able to remove a portion of them, but I need all of these removed. The late payments were not mine, as the divorce decree signed by a judge states, and the judgement. I have written and called the Bureaus but that has not got me anywhere. 
I am attempting to get a new home and start over fresh but it seems that the Credit Bureaus do not want that for me.

My information was sold/bought illegally because I was a victim of the Equifax Breach of 2007 and my credit file continues to suffer from this breach. Equifax has admitted that I was in fact a victim of this data breach ( see attached proof ) and Equifax has done nothing or made it impossible to obtain a remedy when fraudulent activity has occurred in my credit files. I've been disputing inquiries that I never made ( written dispute : XX/XX/XXXX, XX/XX/XXXX, XX/XX/XXXX - plus various other disputes related to inquiries that were filed online ) to Equifax and require your assistance in removing these illegal inquiries from my credit reports. Each time I have disputed this information, Equifax has failed to provide proof of the permissible purpose authorization and fails to investigate the dispute. Equifax simply sends me back a pre-formulated response about the inquiry being a factual record. THEY HAVE NOT VALIDATED/VERIFIED THE DISPUTE. I've also communicated directly with each creditor and they have indicated they have nothing showing I authorized these inquiries. The inquiries are as follows : Creditor Name : XXXX XXXX Inquiry Date : XX/XX/XXXX Reason : I have no knowledge of this hard  inquiry, please delete it. 

Creditor Name : XXXX XXXX XXXX Inquiry Date : XX/XX/XXXX Reason : I have no knowledge of this XXXX  inquiry, please delete it.

According to the Fair Credit Reporting Act 15 USC 1681 section 602 states, " There is a need to ensure that consumer reporting agencies exercise their responsibilities with fairness, impartiality, and a respect for the consumer 's right to privacy. '' XXXX, XXXX, and XXXX are Consumer reporting agencies, and I am the Consumer. I have the right to make sure my private information isn't shared, as noted in 15 USC 6801, which states, " It is the policy of the Congress that each financial institution has an affirmative and continuing obligation to respect the privacy of its customers and to protect the security and confidentiality of those customers ' nonpublic personal information. '' Guild XXXX Company is a financial institution by definition under that title. 15 USC 1681 section 604 a section 2 states, " In general, Subject to subsection ( c ), any consumer reporting agency may furnish a consumer report under the following circumstances and no other : following the written instructions of the consumer to whom it relates.

'' They never informed me of my right to exercise my nondisclosure option. Not only that, 15 USC 1681C ( a ) ( 5 ) discloses, '' Except as authorized under subsection ( b ), no consumer reporting agency may make any consumer report containing any of the following items of information Any other adverse item of information, other than records of convictions of crimes which antedates the report by more than seven years. '' This account is a negative item they are reporting again without my permission, which is against the law. 15 U.S. Code 1681s2 ( A ) ( 1 ) A reveals, " A person shall not furnish any information relating to a consumer to any Consumer reporting agency if the person knows or has reasonable cause to believe that the information is inaccurate. 15 U.S. Code 1681e states, '' Every consumer reporting agency shall maintain reasonable procedures designed to avoid violations of section 1681c of this title and to limit the furnishing of consumer reports to the purposes listed under section 1681b of this title. '' XXXX and XXXX are not maintaining reasonable procedures. Furthermore, 12 CFR 1016.7 states, " A consumer may exercise the right to opt out at any time. '' I am opting out of reporting services. ''

To Whom It May Concern : Re : Non-compliance with Rule XXXX. Requirement of the Original Upon reviewing my consumer report, I discovered Equifax , Inc and several creditors are violating several laws. According to rule XXXX, you must provide an original writing, recording or photograph which is required in order to prove its content, unless these rules or federal statute provides otherwise. I've contacted the companies requesting documentation of my alleged consent and to date, the companies listed below have failed to provide me with the requested written authorization of the alleged initiated inquiries.

The listed institutions mentioned below are willfully violating my rights as a federally protected consumer ; rights that have been established by Congress. Considering I have not received any information from these companies, I have to assume the inquiries are unverified and therefore should be deleted according to 15 U.S. code 1681i.

Pursuant to 15 U.S. Code 1681i, treatment of inaccurate or unverifiable information, after any reinvestigation under paragraph ( 1 ) of any information disputed by a consumer, an item of the information is found to be inaccurate or incomplete or can not be verified, the consumer reporting agency shall promptly delete that item of information from the file of the consumer.

I look forward to receiving an updated copy of my credit report reflecting the deletion of ALL NON-ACCOUNT HOLDING INQUIRES.

Thank you in advance.

Issue: Attempts to collect debt not owed — Debt was result of identity theft
Company: Resurgent Capital Services L.P. (NY)

LVNV Funding LLC for Violating my Rights and Illegitimate Debt Collection LVNV Funding LLC regarding their unlawful debt collection practices and their disregard for my rights as a consumer. 

Recently, I became aware of a debt that LVNV Funding LLC claims I owe, but I firmly believe this debt is a result of identity theft. I have taken all necessary steps to rectify the situation, including reporting the identity theft to the proper authorities and placing fraud alerts on my credit reports. 

Despite my efforts to resolve this issue, LVNV Funding LLC continues to aggressively pursue the collection of this debt without providing any substantial evidence or documentation to support their claims. Furthermore, they have not acknowledged the possibility of identity theft or taken any steps to investigate the matter independently. 

I would like to bring to your attention the following violations of my rights : XXXX. Violation of My Right to Verification : According to the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act ( FDCPA ), I have the right to request verification of the debt within 30 days of receiving their initial notice. However, LVNV Funding LLC has not provided any valid supporting documentation verifying this debt despite multiple requests. 

XXXX. Ignoring the Dispute Process : The FDCPA also grants me the right to dispute the debt in question, and it is the responsibility of LVNV Funding LLC to investigate and respond to my dispute. However, they have blatantly disregarded this process and continued their relentless collection efforts. 

XXXX. Pursuing an Illegitimate Debt : As mentioned earlier, I have strong reason to believe that this debt is the result of identity theft. LVNV Funding LLC has failed to conduct a thorough investigation into the legitimacy of the debt, which is a direct violation of the provisions laid out by the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ).
