Company: EQUIFAX, INC. (IL)

There are XXXX accounts and some inquiries on my report that after contacting the company and trying to get more information they were unable/refused to give me info to verify the account because whoever set up the account used information that I don't know outside of my personal information so they said i had to file a ftc report XXXX Not sure how its to protect me if I am telling them that I am me and i never set the accounts up. I have attached a copy of the Identity Theft report as well as copy of my ID. The accounts that are fraudulent are as follows : XXXX XXXX XXXX inquired on XX/XX/2022 and XXXX XXXX also inquired on XX/XX/2022. 

The only thing that makes sense is someone at the lending company misused my info because I was preapproved when i purchased my home so I never gave my info to have them to check for financing. When I called the lender they confirmed they never tried to run my credit because I had a preapproval that covered the cost of the home. With that being said, inquiry law that applies here is 15 U.S.C. 1681 ( c ) ( 1 ) ( A ) ( B ) ( i ) ( 3 ) To credit reporting agency The inquiry was not authorized. Did not consent to unauthorized inquiry.

JP Morgan Chase Bank has refused to provide all credit card statements for this account, which has inhibited my ability to dispute charges and late fees assessed on the account. On numerous occasions I submitted payments above the amount due and the bank refused to move the due date and the payment amount for making an advance payment. XXXX XXXX  would assess late fees even though I submitted large payments on multiple occasions in previous months, which made it very difficult to maintain a relationship with the financial institution. In addition, they would charge interest that was grossly unfair to a XXXX XXXX Veteran. JP Morgan Chase continues to report unsubstantiated ( incorrect ) amount to all three credit bureaus.

In XXXX  I had made reports by phone, e-mail, and by writing letters using the U.S. Postal Service to three credit agencies explaining that the accounts on my credit report were inaccurate. The three credit agencies I reported to are as follows ; XXXX, XXXX, and Experian. The three agencies had informed me in order for them to take further action I would need to dispute the accounts with them and the companies that reported the accounts. I completed the requests they had made. Two weeks after doing what they had asked I came to no resolution with the problem. My report remains inaccurate and more accounts have been added since then. This has been an ongoing problem for me with no resolution. I had froze my accounts numerous times and had told them about the ongoing fraudulent activity only to be ignored. Due to the outcome of the many situations, I have been unable to obtain business loans, credit that I have needed, denied housing, and have been unable to obtain employment with the U.S. government. I feel that my hands are tied at this moment and the only way id be able to resolve the issue is to obtain legal counsel being that my family and I have dealt with this problem for six years straight. Thank you

XXXX, after numerous explanations that the buyer is a scammer, trying to extort money through XXXX. This full description problem. To begin with, we will describe the fraudulent scheme of the buyer. We sold XXXX expensive XXXX diagnostic devices on XXXX. After the purchase, the buyer reported that supposedly XXXX device did not work well. We asked to provide the serial number of the device and reset the log file. After that, the buyer disappeared for XXXX months. After XXXX months, the buyer opens a dispute in his bank, but, mind you, not on XXXX, and the bank, of course, resolves the dispute in favor of the buyer and demands a refund from XXXX. Now attention! XXXX takes money from our account without returning an expensive device from the buyer. We are shocked by such illegal actions of XXXX and are trying to figure out with XXXX on what basis they withdraw money without returning the device and why XXXX did not forbid the bank to return the money without returning the device. After a few phone calls to XXXX, XXXX explains it as if it's the buyer 's financial institution withdrawing the money and they can't do anything while XXXX itself withdraws the money. We called our bank and explained the whole situation and blocked the withdrawal of money and also filled out the XXXX form. The bank blocked the withdrawal of money and returned it back. Despite this, XXXX continues to try to withdraw money, despite bank blocking, that is, they use extortion methods and threats in terms of closing the account. On what legal basis? XXXX does illegal and illegal activities.

Hello, I have many credit cards never had late fees. I pay my bills ahead of time using bill pay. I applied and received 3 cards from commenity bank. I kept getting hit with late fees from day one, checks sent from my bank bill pay taking 15 to 16 days to post. Always, after the due date. I have been using this bill pay forever to pay other bank cards. It has never taken this long. On another one of their cards the payment was electronic and they hit me with a late charge for my XXXX statement. My bank was able to track the electronic payment and advised me that they had received the payment 4 days prior and were holding the funds instead of posting the payment. This was 4 days prior to the due date and had not posted it. The bank did reverse the {$29.00} fee and offered no explanation. I have closed the cards because I feel this is a scam and a way for this bank to fraudulently make money. The last late fees were on XX/XX/23 from Commenity XXXX for {$26.00} late fee and {$2.00} interest. XXXX Ulta had a charge of {$36.00} late fee on XX/XX/23 and interest of {$2.00}. No explanation was given on why it takes 16 days for a check to post. I explained that I can not pay the bill before it is generated. One of the employees told me that she hears the same story all the time from other customers. Thank you.
