Product: Credit reporting or other personal consumer reports — Credit reporting
Issue: Problem with a company's investigation into an existing problem — Was not notified of investigation status or results
Company: EQUIFAX, INC. (SC)

I am writing to formally dispute a late payment entry that has appeared on my credit report. The report indicates a late payment in my credit report, which I strongly believe is erroneous and not verified. Throughout my financial history with the financial agencies I am doing business with, I have consistently met all payment deadlines without fail. Therefore, the presence of this late payment is undoubtedly a result of a billing error on the part of the creditor. I request a thorough investigation into this matter to verify the accuracy of the reported late payment and urge for its prompt correction. It is imperative that such inaccuracies are rectified swiftly, as they impact my financial standing and credibility. I have contacted the financial agencies in the last more than XXXX  days to seek clarification but I got no response because this is erroneously reported for they have provided NO PROOF that there was a REAL late payment. Your immediate attention to this matter is greatly appreciated.

Issue: False statements or representation — Attempted to collect wrong amount
Company: PORTFOLIO RECOVERY ASSOCIATES INC (FL)

Since  XXXX   XXXX ,  XXXX   XXXX   XXXX  has been reporting  XXXX  collection debts to my credit. My understanding is that  XXXX  relates to an old   XXXX   account P.R.A. purchased, and the other relates to an account originated with  XXXX   XXXX   XXXX .     I also understand that P.R.A. is allowed to report the account as a collection to the various consumer credit reporting agencies, if it meets certain criteria. Unfortunately for me, theyve decided to report each account to the credit reporting agencies  XXXX , utilizing different account numbers. For example, the  XXXX  account was reported by  Portfolio Recovery  to  XXXX  under account number "  XXXX  '' while  Portfolio Recovery  simultaneously reported it to  XXXX  and  XXXX   XXXX  with account numbers "  XXXX . '' The reports are identical, i.e., the amount shows as {$3100.00}, and the report indicates the delinquency date is from  XXXX   XXXX . The only difference is that  one  report was made utilizing "  XXXX  '' and the other reports with "  XXXX . '' This causes me a big problem because when creditors run combined reports, where data from  XXXX ,  XXXX  and  XXXX  are merged into a composite report, it causes the debt to report  XXXX , i.e. {$6300.00} shows instead of {$3100.00}. I have spoken to the various credit bureaus and each confirmed the reported account number showing on the report is exactly what P.R.A. reported to them.     I have made disputes multiple times, and each time P.R.A. apparently has verified its information as accurate and should remain reporting exactly as it is. As the differences are apparent even to a layman like myself, I can only assume Portfolio is intentionally reporting these accounts as multiples, and therefore inaccurately.     As of  XXXX   XXXX ,  XXXX ,  Portfolio  collections are still reporting single accounts with different account numbers from  one  bureau to another.

This is not a duplicate nor is this complaint being filed by a third party, I am filing this complaint myself. Please see this complaint is processed to the letter of the law. 
I've talked to the bank & they've agreed to remove the account. BUT TransUnion has some internal block which they're claiming they can use to not block the account because they feel they're above the law. When questioned why they're not accepting the dispute letter they claim they have an internal policy ( which is OUTSIDE FCRA laws ) & they're unwilling to explain why they won't accept the dispute letter ( which is a FEDERAL LAW ). So TransUnion feels they're above the letter of the law & will not explain their policy... 
I discovered that some of the information on my credit report was incorrect when I reviewed it. Sections 609 ( a ) ( 1 ) ( A ) and 611 ( a ) ( 1 ) require the TransUnion credit bureau to validate this account ( A ). It is not permissible to fail to validate this reporting account as unverified information without providing any proof within the time frame specified by law, ) as required under Section 609 ( a ) ( 1 ) ( A ) Disclosures to consumers [ 15 U.S.C. 1681g ] ( ( a ) Information on file ; sources ; report recipients. Transunion shall, upon request, and subject to 610 ( a ) ( 1 ) [ 1681h ], clearly and accurately disclose to the consumer. If the consumer to whom the file relates requests that the first 5 digits of the social security number ( or similar identification number ) of the consumer not be included in the disclosure and the consumer reporting agency has received appropriate proof of the identity of the requester, the consumer reporting agency shall so truncate such number in such disclosure. & Section 611 ( a ) ( 1 ) ( A ) Procedure in case of disputed accuracy [ 15 U.S.C. 1681i ] ( a ) Reinvestigations of Disputed Information. If the completeness or accuracy of any item of information contained in a my file at TransUnion is disputed by the consumer and the consumer notifies the agency directly, or indirectly through a creditor, the Bureaus shall, free of charge, conduct a reasonable reinvestigation to determine whether the disputed information is inaccurate and record the current status of the disputed information, or delete the item from my file in accordance with paragraph ( XXXX ), before the end of the 30-day period beginning on the date on which the agency receives the notice of the dispute from the consumer or creditor My credit report includes the following erroneous information that needs to be investigated and correct XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXXXXXX Date Opened : XX/XX/18 Balance : {$0.00}

On XXXX I unknowingly overdressed my account by XXXX cents. On Tuesday XXXX a {$50.00} deposit had funds available, at XXXX XXXX I double checked my account balance then went to get groceries. On the morning of XXXX I woke, checked my account and saw that I was charged an overdraft. I called the bank, the representative explained to me I overdrew my account by XXXX cents on Monday. Overdraft fee # 1 was charged on XXXX ( which must have been after XXXX XXXX, because I checked my account and went to get groceries ). She then told me that another overdraft fee is going to be posted to my account because I used the funds from overdraft # 1, which then overdrew my account again and set me up for overdraft # 2. I asked if there was anyway I could dispute these and the domino effect that is following, she explained there was nothing I could do and then went on to sell me all the overdraft services. I 'm upset that XXXX cents is costing me {$70.00} and I 'm upset that if an overdraft fee is charged, it 's not posted in a timely manner or that I 'm not notified in a timely manner so I can avoid future charges and the domino effect that could happen.

I hope you're doing well. I've run into a bit of a problem. While going through my credit report, I noticed some things that don't seem quite right, and it appears my identity have been stolen online. My nephew, who's studying XXXX XXXX, helped me out by finding a way to check if my XXXX emails were involved in this breach.

Credit Collection Services is reporting a medical collection on my account from  XXXX   XXXX  in the amount of $  XXXX  {$2500.00} with a status date of  XXXX / XXXX / XXXX  and a date of first delinquency in  XXXX . This is inaccurate as it should have been filed with my full coverage medical insurance in  XXXX . I paid a co-pay at the time of the visit, as well. The representative from Credit Collection Services told me he did not have to provide me with a copy of the information showing this is a valid debt. I also called  XXXX  and they said that it would have been filed with insurance and did not have any information on this debt. Also, at the time of the hospital visit, I was told I could pay {$350.00} to not have this filed with insurance and there would be no additional bill OR I could have them file with my insurance. I chose to file with my insurance. This information is grossly inaccurate! As well, is n't the representative supposed to provide validation of the debt instead of telling me that he does n't have validation and is n't required to provide it? This is either an issue with  XXXX   XXXX  's billing/claims department or the insurance company and no one will resolve it!

Dear TRANSUNION, This account was falsely added to my credit report only by transuion credit bureau. This is not My account! I have never in my life had a {$2000.00} limit credit card. This is fraud and I would like this account removed from my credit report immediately! 

I contacted XXXX XXXX on XX/XX/2023 and spoke with two agents in two different departments. After doing some investigation I was informed that my name was listed on this account as an authorize use but with a completely different SSN. This is not my account and nor did I give permission to be out on as an authorize user. This is proof my identity has been stolen and used for multiple accounts that are not mine. I have sent off a letter to XXXX XXXX fraud department As well informing them of this situation and asking to be removed from this account and documents sent over to TransUnion stating this is not my account! 

I really hope you do your job in a timely matter and get this account removed from my credit profile immediately!
