Company: EQUIFAX, INC. (MI)

My request for the correction and removable of the erroneous information about my accounts has been diligently neglected by Equifax. Despite sending them the last letter, dated XX/XX/2022, for the said request, I have not received any response up to this date. Besides, the inaccurate information about my accounts is still on my reports. Therefore, XXXX has not complied with the Fair Credit Reporting Act, 15 USC Sections 1681i within the time permitted by law and continued reporting as unverified information which now, given all my attempts to address it directly with the creditor, as willful negligence and non- compliance with federal statutes. Below are the accounts that are still reporting on my account : XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX Balance : {$6900.00} XXXX XXXX Balance : {$0.00} XXXX XXXX Balance : {$2600.00}

Company: Nelnet, Inc. (MA)

There is no way that these companies investigated this student loan. The same information continues to report on my credit. I honestly don't believe I was late and I don't agree with the total balance that they are reporting on my credit. It continues to report several inaccuracies among the 3 credit reporting agencies from the last student loan company. How is that possible? For example, Each bureau reports that I was late on a different date Also, Hows it possible that youve reported me 90 days late with no late payments prior to that? Wasn't XXXX sued by Cfpb before for not applying payments to consumers accounts correctly?

Company: Paypal Holdings, Inc (WA)

After receiving suspicious emails over a period of time from PayPal, when I did not have an active account, I sent them to their company XXXX XXXX and then also called them to make sure that there was no active account with my name and email. At first I was told there was indeed a verified account in my name and that it could not be closed down. Then after a number of calls and emails back and forth, XXXX of their operators confirmed that I would get no further emails, in XX/XX/XXXX by phone. Then on XX/XX/XXXX, I received the attached letter via XXXX XXXX  from a company called XXXX XXXX XXXX. Stating that they were trying to collect a debt for PayPal.

I have never owed money to PayPal. I do not have a credit account with them, and have not used their service in YEARS!! 

I called PayPalXXXX on XX/XX/XXXX, and XXXXXXXX XXXXXXXX filed XXXX claims on my behalf XXXX, and XXXX and stated I would hear from them in XXXX business days about next steps. When I did not hear from them by XX/XX/XXXX, I called them again. I was told by XXXX ( # XXXX ) that I owe them no money and not to call the phone number on the letter I received from XXXX. I was told that they were continuing their investigation. 

So now, not knowing what to do and not wanting to call this company who sent me a letter asking for money that I don't owe, I am sending this to you. I don't know what else to do, I don't know if I am being scammed or a victim of fraud at this point. 

Thank you for your help.

Company: EQUIFAX, INC. (CO)

In XX/XX/2022, I sent a certified letter to Equifax to investigate how they are reporting a payment status on a closed account. They did not respond so I sent a follow up letter in XX/XX/2022. I received a response that they " verified with the creditor that it is reporting correctly ''. 

I believe this to be a ridiculous response considering, 1 ) The account is CLOSED and was paid in full 2 ) The payment status is not reporting inaccurately because of the creditor it is the way Equifax is reporting it 3 ) A payment status is to report as the " CURRENT '' Payment status.

4 ) They are reporting a derogatory payment status on a paid in full closed account. 

Equifax is reporting it as ; '' Not more than two payments past due '' The two year history shows ALL ON TIME PAYMENTS., The account is closed and paid in full. THEREFORE the Payment Status should read " PAID AS AGREED '' This is an FCRA VIOLATION- and if not corrected I will pursue legal action for their blatant disregard for the law. This is harmful to my credit score and is completely inaccurate. 

Ive included both certified letters, as well as a copy of my credit report with the inaccurate information highlighted.

Company: I.C. System, Inc. (NY)

They didnt accurately answer my request about validating this debt they claimed I had with the them. They sent me a simple bill that anyone can create at their house so of course in todays day and age I will question it. I asked for proof, anything they had bearing my signature. They couldnt provide anything. They couldnt provide any proof that they even owned this debt they claimed I owed them. They re-aged the Date of last activity with the bureaus so that my account would take longer to fall off. I checked my credit report today and realized they havent even noted that the account is in dispute. I feel as if I am in a corner with no other options left.
