Upon reviewing my credit file, I have discovered several files that are not mine, indicating a potential compromise of my personal information.

I have filed a dispute and provided the necessary FTC Report and the bank 's records, as required by law. While I appreciate your attention to this matter, I would like to request that you provide me with any documentation that you possess regarding these accounts. I understand that according to the FCRA, you are required to verify the accuracy of the information contained within my credit file, and I would like to ensure that all accounts listed are indeed true, accurate, correct, complete, and verifiable.

I have been sending information and notifications to the bureaus for months to dispute some accounts that are in my credit and I think they are not accurate, and they have never answered to this. The have never responded to me, even by email. According to the law, they have to report what is happening with my case. I think this is unfair that I have to come to this for them to take me into account.

Consumer complaint received 2024-05-23
Product: Credit reporting or other personal consumer reports — Credit reporting
Issue: Problem with fraud alerts or security freezes — 
Company: EQUIFAX, INC. (OR)

15 U.S. Code 1681 with regard to place an extended fraud alert states, " Upon the direct request of a consumer, or an individual acting on behalf of or as a personal representative of a consumer, who submits an identity theft report to a consumer reporting agency described in section 1681a ( p ) of this title that maintains a file on the consumer, if the agency has received appropriate proof of the identity of the requester, the agency shall '' Please note it states submission of an identity theft report and appropriate proof of identity. 
XXXX XXXX XXXX  with regard to extended fraud alerts states, " Who can place one : An extended fraud alert is only available to people who have had their identity stolen and completed an FTC identity theft report at IdentityTheft.gov or filed a police report. '' Please note it states an FTC identity theft report OR a police report. It does not require both. 

On XX/XX/2024, XX/XX/2024, and XX/XX/2024 a written request to place an extended fraud alert was submitted to Equifax that included a signed and notarized affidavit of identity theft, a police report filed with XXXX, a copy of valid XXXX driver 's license, copy of XXXX XXXX tax statement displaying full SSN, and copy of utility bill showing name and address. These documents fulfill the requirements of making a request, filing a report of identity theft, filing a police report, and providing appropriate proof of identity. 

All three requests were denied by Equifax who in written response stated " Please be advised that to add an extended fraud alert kindly forward a VALID COPY OF XXXX REPORT, LAW ENFORCEMENT REPORT, AND A VALID COPY OF FEDERAL TRADE COMMISSION REPORT. '' From this response is appears that Equifax has taken it on itself to rewrite the requirements a victim of identity theft must comply with to get a federally mandated protection by require not just an either/or, but a BOTH. A plain text reading of that response states that a police report and a FTC report must be presented. In making this unilateral change of requirement Equifax has engaged in a WILLFUL violation of 15 U.S. Code 1681 and Federal Trade Commission regulation. 

Since Equifax likely sent this response using a pre-formatted response it is reasonable to assume that any victim of identity theft who has made this same request and provided only a police report or only an FTC report since XX/XX/2024 ( if not prior ) has received the same response to require production of both. This would mean each and every instance that Equifax provide the response that is a WILLFUL violation would be subject to and punishable by separate fines for each instance. 

Please also note the victim in this matter is of an age that Equifax 's actions may constitute Elder Abuse under XXXX State law where the victim resides.
Consumer complaint received 2024-02-17
Product: Mortgage — Conventional home mortgage
Issue: Trouble during payment process — Escrow, taxes, or insurance
Company: AMERISAVE MORTGAGE CORPORATION (MD)

Despite having continuous coverage and my insurance broker and I sending 12 emails with proof of insurance, the 3rd party insurance verification company reported no coverage. Consequently, Amerisave placed an over-priced policy on my home and an escrow to my mortgage. This doubled my monthly payment for nearly one year, creating a major financial hardship in our home. 
After proving coverage 12 times, ( I have emails, my broker has emails, and XXXX has emails proving coverage ) Amerisave finally removed their coverage, and closed the escrow account. I called after the account closed asking when would the funds be returned so that I could make the payments I fail behind on, a customer service rep stated that I would received the {$6800.00} in 10-20 business days. After I did not receive the refunded escrow money that Amerisave should have never placed on my loan, I called and the customer representative said they will not return the escrow until I catch up on the two payments I fail behind. I reminded them that I fail behind because of the increased ( my monthly payment doubled ) payment due to the escrow. They still refused. I authorized them to take the payments from the escrow and return the reminder. They refused. PLEASE HELP. The mortgage company is creating a financial hardship by refusing to hold money that is NOT in escrow and thereby they are illegally withholding my funds with no justification other than missed payments, which are the result of them not RETURNING MY FUNDS.
