Product: Credit reporting, credit repair services, or other personal consumer reports — Credit reporting
Issue: Unable to get your credit report or credit score — Other problem getting your report or credit score
Company: EQUIFAX, INC. (FL)

I have tried to log into equifax to access my account to view my credit information as well as placing a credit freeze. I am seeing this message when attempting to log in " We are temporarily unable to complete this request. '' I have tried multiple times reach out to speak to one of the agents, but have been unable to get in contact with an agent. I can not setup services as I am getting messages that my report is frozen, yet I do not have the ability to unfreeze, view or access the credit report online at all. Even If I select to sign up or pay for a service I still see that error message. This error message has been displayed for months on the account. 

I have also reached out to XXXX though this time I was able to get in contact with a representative. They told me there was in fact an issue with my account and that a manager would reach out to me in 24-48 hours. This was roughly 2-3 weeks ago and I have not heard back from them yet. I can not access my account here as well/.

Issue: Attempts to collect debt not owed — Debt is not yours
Company: I.C. System, Inc. (NC)

I received two text messages from IC System Debt Collector on XX/XX/2024 claiming that I owed money to XXXX Mobility and that I could pay the XXXX  % to settle this debt. When I called the number they provided, they could not provide any information about the debt, where it came from, the amount, what the nature of the debt was ( past due bill, unreturned equipment, etc. ). When I checked my collections on my credit report, no such debt existed. Additionally, I have not done any business with XXXX for many years and have never received any notice from them that an amount was owed. This is the second time within a year that I have been contacted about this debt that I supposedly owe. I believe they are operating off of some kind of bad information.
