Please help me get a proper solution to this frivolous account that is continuously being removed and added back to my credit reports. I have made several attempts to dispute this debt via handwritten letters sent via certified mailed to the data Furnisher XXXX XXXX XXXX AS I HAVE NO KNOWLEDGE OF THIS ACCOUNT ; IT IS FRAUDULENT AND MUST BE REMOVED IMMEDIATELY and have not received a response or verification that this debt belongs to me. I have retained all documents of my actions thus far for proof and documentation. I believe this is a direct violation of my rights as a consumer per the NC FCRA. to deny my right to receive valid verification that this account belongs to me. I have previously disputed this account and have successfully been able to remove the account however it is just sold to another furnisher, or the current furnisher changes the name and updates or adds this account back to my credit file with no explanation on an erroneous, alleged collections information. XXXX XXXX XXXX has never proved this debt belongs to me legally. In addition, XXXX XXXX XXXX shouldnt be allowed to continue reporting this frivolous debt and the credit Bureaus are failing to properly investigate the information being reported. This fight or battle to fix my credit so that only accurate information is being reported has caused me mental and physical health issues and restraints. I am reaching out as a final result before seeking other solutions. This information needs to be removed from my credit files because it can not be verified and continues to report and update inaccuracies on the credit file.

Issue: Attempts to collect debt not owed — Debt is not yours
Company: ENCORE CAPITAL GROUP INC. (IL)

Midland Credit Management is trying to sue me after I submitted a debt validation letter by certified mail. They were also motioned to dismiss in court after failing to meet the laws of the ( FDCPA ) & ( FCRA ). In my validation, I requested they first show proof they own they debt, and copies of all charges and statements to validate the amount. Under law Debt collectors must prove that they own the debt when they file a lawsuit. When debt is sold or assigned prior to the lawsuit, proof of the assignment must be provided and a written assignment must be attached to the lawsuit. 

All they showed me was a statement with an amount. That's it after a few months. They only proved that they have a statement which I don't owe. They are known for and sued in the past for such violations.

On XXXX XXXX I received a copy of my credit report and noticed several discrepancies on my credit report being reported as hard inquiries. I do not notice these accounts and never applied for them. I then reached out to XXXX, XXXX, and Experian to let them know of the incorrect info they where reporting as well as to report that I do not own these accounts. An investigation was done and these accounts were verified and they even updated the personal information on these accounts from first being fraudulent information to now the correct information that does belong to me. How is that lawful? I mean to update an account with someones personal information after they had already told you the account didn't belong to them is wrong in so many ways. By doing research I found out how to submit a complaint through CFPB. However, after doing so these account where closed. Yet are still being reported on my credit report. I am in need of my report to be corrected so that I may be able to utilize my credit to move forward in life. Please help me!

Issue: Problem with a credit reporting company's investigation into an existing problem — Was not notified of investigation status or results
Company: EQUIFAX, INC. (AR)

It has been over 30 days since my initial dispute that was sent to XXXX, Equifax, and XXXX  in regards to several accounts reporting on my credit file that were from the direct result of identity theft. I completed and submitted and Identity theft report as per instructed by local law enforcement which included accounts XXXX # XXXX, XXXX  # XXXX, XXXX XXXX # XXXX, XXXX XXXX XXXX  # XXXX, XXXX XXXX  # XXXX, First XXXX # XXXX, XXXX XXXX  # XXXX, and XXXX XXXX # XXXX. Under the Fair Credit Reporting Act section 605b states not only these accounts should be blocked but also removed if accurate verification is not provided per sections 609 & 611. I have yet to receive any correspondence whatsoever from neither XXXX, Equifax, or XXXX  so therefore considering the multiple violations being committed only can equate to the fraudulent accounts being removed from my credit file immediately to avoid litigation. These actions are totally unacceptable and violate my consumer rights as well as the FCRA. In addition fraudulent addresses XXXX XXXX XXXX and XXXX XXXX XXXX and inquiries remain on my credit file after I've specifically requested them to be removed. A copy of my drivers license, social security card, and a utility bill was included with dispute to prevent any vague or bogus reponse from the credit bureaus and yet I HAVEN'T received anything at all. My next step is to contact the attorney general a seek litigation if this matter is not resolved.

Reopening case # XXXX and XXXX. Please note that the company has not delivered on anything that they promised on XX/XX/XXXX. I just checked my credit report today ( XX/XX/XXXX ) and they have not removed the delinquency from XX/XX/XXXX to XX/XX/XXXX. I also never received the relief amount ( though I don't care about that ). I would rather that they stay true to their word and remove the delinquency that they promised. You have the proof from their last reply.

To XXXX and Equifax, Please check the following account as it is showing as balance is overdue and late. This is not true. The account is in fact paid on time and paid in full. Please verify this information as this account has always been on auto pay until account was fully paid. Please do not report inaccurate transactional experiences to my report. Late payments are detrimental to me as a business owner and consumer needing credit at a moments notice. I appreciate your time to help with this matter.

The 3 major credit bureaus have reported inaccurate things on my credit report. For example investigate each collection and the columns that are tracked. Wouldnt you agree that every column for each collection should have the same information if it is accurate for all 3. Also dont you agree if one major credit bureau out of the three takes something off your credit the others should at least reach out to the consumer asking if it should be removed. But no credit bureau has done so, and did not get my consent to put anything on my credit report. I also know for each error on my credit report that is inaccurate I should be granted {$1000.00} in reimbursement.
