Issue: Incorrect information on your report — Public record information inaccurate
Company: EQUIFAX, INC. (TN)

I discovered I had been the victim of identity fraud. I obtained a copy of my credit reports and discovered that Equifax Information Services and only Equifax Information Services was reporting I had a public record of filing a bankruptcy petition in 2018. I have never filed a bankruptcy petition. I contacted Equifax by phone and letter. I asked them to correct the error and remove the public record of bankruptcy and to tell me what company was providing them with the incorrect information. Equifax refused to delete the incorrect information of a bankruptcy petition in 2018. Equifax further refused to provide me with the company who was supplying the incorrect information.

Product: Debt collection — Credit card debt
Issue: Communication tactics — Used obscene, profane, or other abusive language
Company: ENCORE CAPITAL GROUP INC. (FL)

I am writing to formally bring to your attention the concerning behavior exhibited by Manager XXXX XXXX during our recent interaction regarding the debt collection process. 

During our conversation on Monday, XX/XX/XXXX at XXXX EST. XXXX XXXX displayed forceful and aggressive behavior towards me. Despite my acknowledgment of the debt and the challenging circumstances my family and I are facing due to maternity leave and my husbands job loss, XXXX XXXX repeatedly accused me of irresponsibility. 

I explicitly stated my willingness to address the debt in due course, mentioning my plan to utilize my tax refund in XXXX to initiate repayments to all creditors, including Midland. However, instead of understanding or empathy, XXXX XXXX continued to employ threatening language, insisting on immediate repayment and threatening legal action. 

His persistence in pressuring me, even after expressing discomfort with his approach and labeling it as abusive, was highly distressing and unacceptable. No individual should be subjected to such aggressive tactics, especially when attempting to navigate financial challenges caused by unforeseen circumstances. 

I request an immediate investigation into this matter and appropriate action against such abusive debt collection practices. My aim is not to evade responsibility but to request a fair and respectful approach to resolving this debt issue.

I refinanced my  XXXX   XXXX   XXXX  lease with    XXXX   XXXX    XXXX   XXXX  t  in  XXXX   XXXX . For a year now I have been trying to get an issue with  my Title  corrected. After trying for a year Chase has b  ee n unable to resolve th e Title issu e with no resolution. My original lease financing was through  XXXX   XXXX . At the end of the lease I purchased the car through  XXXX   XXXX   XXXX . At the time of closing,  XXXX  sent me letter stating the   XXXX   XXXX     Title w as sent to  Chase ( the lienholder ). A year later, Chase has y et to take possession of the lease. I moved to   XXXX   in  XXXX   XXXX . I call ed Chase to  request the  Title  paperwork so I could register my car in the state of   XXXX   in  XXXX   XXXX . They told me they would send me the proper paperwork to allow me to register my car. I never received the paperwork. I called about 30 days later and informed them I never received the paperwork. They told me they would resend the paperwork. After the third or fourth request for the paperwork, I was informed they are unable to issue the paperwork because of a  Title issu e and would send me paperwork that would allow me to obtain a temporary registration in  XXXX . I never received the paperwork for the temporary registration. There are  two things Chase  has been unable to resolve, (  1 )  they have been unable to properly title the car in  XXXX  which would allow me to transfer it to   XXXX    and ( 2 ) they have been unable to send me paperwork to obtain a temporary registration in  XXXX . The last time I spoke with them on  XXXX   XXXX ,  XXXX , I was told they contacted  XXXX  to request paperwork ( that was already sent by  XXXX  which  Chase l ost ). WHen I contacted  XXXX  to confirm  Chase had con tacted them for the paperwork  XXXX  was unable to verify any correspondents. It appears because this is a unique situation, the customer service reps are misrepresenting the actions they are taking in order to get us off the phone. Everytime they call they try to push us off and give us arbitrary timelines. I have been living in   XXXX   for almost 7 months now and have been unable to register my car. My   XXXX   registration is expiring in  XXXX   XXXX  and I am unable to register in  XXXX  This is causing me to carry  XXXX  auto insurance policies,  XXXX  in   XXXX   and  XXXX  in   XXXX   I am unable to cancel my  XXXX  insurance policy until I return my  XXXX   plates  however I ca n't turn in my   XXXX    plates until I register my car in    XXXX  . I am unsure what to do at this point as  Chase is not taking ownership of resolving this issue.
