Issue: Improper use of your report — Credit inquiries on your report that you don't recognize
Company: EQUIFAX, INC. (AR)

I am writing to formally address my dissatisfaction with the recent attempt to remove unknown inquiries from my credit file. 

These inquiries are concerning as they were not initiated or authorized by me, nor by anyone I have authorized to access my account. 

In response to this discovery, I promptly contacted your company 's customer service department to report the issue and request the removal of these unauthorized inquiries. While I appreciate the initial acknowledgment of my concern and the attempt to address it, I must express my disappointment with the outcome. 

The attempt made to remove the unknown inquiries has been ineffective, as these inquiries still remain on my account. This not only reflects poorly on the efficacy of your company 's procedures but also raises questions about the security measures in place to safeguard customer accounts. 

I trust that you will prioritize this matter and take the necessary steps to address it with the seriousness it warrants. Failure to do so may compel me to explore alternative courses of action to protect my rights and interests as a consumer. With this, I am asking for your assistance to remove these unknown inquiries in my credit file : 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 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 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 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 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 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 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 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 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 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

Issue: Credit monitoring or identity theft protection services — Problem canceling credit monitoring or identify theft protection service
Company: EQUIFAX, INC. (CA)

I submitted a Identity theft report refer to report number XXXX only to be told by the bureaus that the file number that I provided was not valid. The file number that I provided was on all the documents I mailed to them which were the instructions once I filed given to me by the FTC which were demanding them that they had 5 days to block the inquiries from reporting on my report per order of the ftc. I sent them their copy and I also sent the copy with similar instructions to the creditor reporting the inquiry. The response I was given by the credit bureau was that they had 30 days to look into the matter. I corrected them by reminding them that the 30 day rule applied in a normal dispute action but in the case I was presenting to them this was an FTC Identity Theft Report and the laws that they were bound by was a five day rule if they could not conclude their investigation in a five day period they were to block the two inquiry 's from reporting. They did not agree with my understanding and that was as far as I was willing to go. The two inquiry 's in this situation are : XXXX XXXX XX/XX/XXXX  XXXX XX/XX/202XXXX XXXX

I am a victim of identity theft and have made this clear to this company. 

I sent the first letter to them on XX/XX/2023, letting them know I am a victim of identity theft and that 2 accounts were opened in my name. I went on to ask them to validate the accounts and remove them if they couldn't. 

I sent the second letter to them on XX/XX/2023, letting them know that I know they have 30 days to verify the disputed accounts and that I haven't heard from them yet. 

I sent the third letter to them on XX/XX/2023, letting them know that I still have not heard from them and that further action would be taken if they do not uphold the law in this matter. I told them that I fully intend to pursue litigation in accordance with the FCRA. 

I am sending the fourth letter on XX/XX/2023, notifying them of my final written offer of settlement before litigation as my attempt to resolve their continued violation of the FCRA regarding their refusal to delete unverified information from my consumer profile. I will inform them that I intend to seek relief and monetary damages under FCRA section 616 and section 617, being that it has now been over 30 days with no verification results from them. 

I have also filed an Identity Theft Report with the Federal Trade Commission regarding this matter. 

At this point, I can not confirm if they have done a single thing to protect me and my credit.

Issue: Trouble during payment process — 
Company: CARRINGTON MORTGAGE SERVICES, LLC (FL)

Our home was significantly damaged in Hurricane Ian on XX/XX/XXXX. Our homeowners insurance released the last portion of our payout, totalling around {$44000.00}, to our mortgage company, Carrington Mortgage, who then turned it over to Carrington XXXX pending inspection for release of funds. On XX/XX/XXXX we had our inspection, on XX/XX/XXXX we were notified that our repairs were at 91 %, and that the remaining funds ( approx. {$44000.00} ) would be released to us. On XX/XX/XXXX, the check was denied, and they are now demanding another inspection based on the same appraisal they already had inspected. We have used everything from the insurance money, personal savings, and also funds from our business to complete repairs. We do not have the funds to complete anything else without this payment. 

After speaking with multiple supervisors, we just keep getting the run around and are repeatedly told that we need another inspection despite our payout already having been approved. This is beyond the realm of ridiculousness. They did not help or cover any of these repairs and are not entitled to a single cent of this money. It is needed to complete our repairs before we get another storm.
