I reached out to the company because I saw that multiple credit reporting agencies fraudulently obtained my information and fraudulently accessed my consumer reports and made entries to my reports. I also reached out to the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau, because pursuant 16 CFR 313, the Bureau must enforce Federal Law. I OPTED OUT, pursuant to 15 USC 6802, 12 CFR 1016.1, also making them aware of the violations committed against me were in violation of the Gramm Leach Bliley Act.

I contacted XXXX directly to find out what this debt is and they cant find any debt and cant even verify when I last had service with them. 

I again contacted Eastern Account System and informed them that XXXX seems to have no record of me owing them money and asked them what their records show. They said the debt is from XX/XX/2019. According to the laws in NY if XXXX is saying I dont have a debt and the statute of limitations is 3 years in NY Im not understanding how they are claiming this is a valid debt.

Issue: Problem with a company's investigation into an existing problem — Investigation took more than 30 days
Company: Experian Information Solutions Inc. (TX)

I sent a letter regarding inaccuracies like inquiries and accounts which are unknown to me on my credit report, and I have not received a response from some bureaus, and it has been over 30 days since my complaint and others took more than 30 days for a response. I strongly feel like I am being taken advantage of and being ignored of my disputes. Section 611 ( a ) ( 1 ) of the FCRA ( 15 U.S.C. 1681i ( a ) ( 1 ) ), states that a failure to investigate these items within 30 days gives a reason to immediately remove those items from my credit report and since it has been over 30 days so they should be deleted promptly. I demand these accounts and inquiries to be deleted immediately or I will file for litigation due to the stress you have cause me the stress has resulted in XXXX XXXX XXXXXXXX XXXX XXXX and other conditions resulted from stress, the fact that you XXXX, XXXX and Experian are not respecting my rights as a federally protected consumer has heavily and negatively impacted the fair opportunity to secure any credit lines and or loans with a fair interest rate for my well-being and my children. I am a single mother of a XXXX and XXXX and these inaccuracies have prevented me unfairly to acquire a home and a car to provide my children a safe place to live and a reliable vehicle to transport them to school. My information was also impacted by XXXX, XXXX, and Experian data breach and it may have got into the hands of the wrong person. I repeat this is misleading in such a way and to such an extent that it has adversely affected credit decisions.

Issue: Attempts to collect debt not owed — Debt is not yours
Company: CAPITAL ONE FINANCIAL CORPORATION (AZ)

In XXXX I began to notice multiple accounts being opened up on my Credit report even though I was not applying for any credit and owned nothing. I assumed this was due to Identity Theft and began reporting the accounts one by one to the credit bureaus. Wrong information included names, past addresses, phone numbers, and of course a multitude of credit cards. Fast forward to XXXX - I had removed most of these false accounts and learned how to properly lock my accounts setting up security 's for all bureaus. Two accounts still managed to stay on my report including a XXXX credit card ( Owing {$800.00} ), and a Capital One NA World Elite card ( {$6000.00} ). Both have now been sent to Collections. I've spoken to Capital One since this account opened in XXXX and reported this issue to them. The representative confirmed they had no open accounts matching my social security number - So why was it on there? Information I was able to provide to the representative pulled up no active or closed accounts. At this time I would not have been approved anyways as my credit was in the XXXX 's. I did not even qualify for an entertainment center. Recently I've found it this account has now been sold to XXXX XXXX XXXX - A debt collector. Not only did Capital One not remove this account after confirming I did not own it, but they sold the debt so I now have to deal with communication through a debt collector who was unprofessional and interruptive claiming I was lying. Both Capital One and this XXXX have been spoken to and I am again waiting to hear what they determine. After reporting this to Social Security, All credit bureaus, Capital One, XXXX, and both debt collectors, I genuinely feel like none are serious about assisting me in these matters. I was again directed to a third party, this website, by the social security office even though I explained my information is being mixed up with someone else. At this point I am just going through all the steps given and continuing to be honest and report these 2 accounts that are not mine. That is all I can do. Hopefully by the time I am in my XXXX 's this will have some resolve since the work I've done over the last XXXX has not meant anything. Currently XXXX still unable to purchase anything on my own and being given the run around by all places claiming to help.

I lodged a complaint with these Bureaus a month ago, but unfortunately, the inaccurate information on my report still remains. I haven't received any communication from the Bureaus, except for the notification that you sent stating that the company has responded to my complaint. How can I be certain that they have thoroughly checked the inaccuracies on my report? What methods did they employ to validate the accounts? This whole situation is incredibly frustrating! It's been more than 30 days since I filed a complaint with these Bureaus, and yet the disputed accounts have not been updated. If this continues, I will have no choice but to take legal action due to the immense stress this has caused me. Moreover, I am also concerned about the security of my personal data, as it was affected by the XXXX, Experian, and XXXX data breach.
