Product: Credit reporting, credit repair services, or other personal consumer reports — Credit reporting
Issue: Problem with a credit reporting company's investigation into an existing problem — Their investigation did not fix an error on your report
Company: EQUIFAX, INC. (WI)

I am stressed and unpleased that my credit report was misused and I have been violated. I was apart the breach when the Equifax and XXXX got sued so I thought my information was protected moving forward. Thats makes me scared over the privacy of my information. As I was trying to purchase a home I discovered how I have been violated again. This is defamation of my character and putting my livelihood at risk stopping me from buying a home. So I immediately did research to educate myself and enforce my federal consumer rights so I can moved forward in my life. As the consumer financial protection bureau I ask you to help me exercise my rights IMMEDIATELY! I have several fraudulent accounts on my credit report that should not be there. According to, 15 U.S.C. 1681 ( a ) ( 1 ) ( 2 ) ( 3 ) ( 4 ) Congressional findings and statement of purpose, my consumer report fairness and privacy has been violated.

I am upset!! I am depending on the banking system and credit reporting agency to promote my privacy and fairness and they have not. There are damages on my consumer report that is causing financial and psychological stress. According to, 15 U.S. Code 1681n ( 1 ) ( a ) ( b ) - Civil liability for willful noncompliance, I have the right to sue for up to {$1000.00} per damages for being under false pretenses and not knowing about how my information has used in the breach and the negative accounts that is on my consumer report. I know my rights!! Attached you will see the disputes I am sending to all the credit reporting agencies. REMOVE ALL THE DAMAGES FROM MY REPORT IMMEDIATELY and send me {$1000.00} for all damages.

Company: TD BANK US HOLDING COMPANY (CA)

Notice to all, I am that I am, the consumer in fact, natural person, creditor, lender, executor, administrator, holder in due course of any and all derivatives thereof for the surname/given name XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX and have been appointed and accepted being the executor both public & private for all matter proceeding, and I hereby claim that I will D/B/A XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX and autograph as the agent , attorney in fact, so be it. 

An agent of Target called me @ XXXX XXXX  PST on XX/XX/2023, however i was unable to answer. I gave them a call back @ XXXX XXXX PST XX/XX/2023 in regards to the call. The agent wanted to verify that I applied for an extension of my own credit when I filled out a credit application. I verbally notified them that I, the consumer and natural person did indeed apply for an extension of my own credit. However I was asked to provide Identification, which I notified them I can provide them with a passport. However an agent of Target advised me that they would only accept a state issued ID. I am not in any possession of a state ID, as the natural right of a natural person I can travel among the land without a License. I do not operate in commerce when in my private automobile. I also have the right to identify myself with my passport. 

Unfortunately for this reason, I was discriminated against for not having an ID, and I, the consumer and natural person, was denied credit by TARGET when I applied for a Credit Card. 

Adverse action against a consumer is AGAINST THE LAW according to the Equal Credit Opportunity Act which is codified in 15 U.S.C 1691c and is pursuant to civil liability under 15 U.S.C 1692k.

You are subject to criminal liability for violating 15 U.S.C 1691 as I have proof that I was discriminated against by TARGET due to the response I received.

TARGET is in violation of 15 U.S. Code 1642, U.S.C 1681m and 12 cfr 1002 because I, the consumer, made an application in good faith, but credit was not issued.

Furthermore, because my social security number ( credit card ) as defined in 15 USC 1602 ( i ) was used and I received NO benefit. This is proof of fraudulent activity ( unauthorized use of credit card ) on behalf of TARGET. 

If TARGET fails to make any reasonable procedures to resolve this matter and compensate me for the use of my credit card I will indeed make TARGET criminally and civilly liable for all actual damages pursuant to 15 USC 1681n and 15 USC 1681o. 

I will also follow up with an invoice for said violations ( { {$10000.00} } per violation ). 

Thank you, XXXX : XXXX XXXX XXXX/ [ Agent/Beneficiary ] Without Prejudice, Without Recourse. All Natural Inalienable Rights Reserved.

Company: SELECT PORTFOLIO SERVICING, INC. (GA)

Today, XXXX XXXX, XXXX, I have included by voluntary dismissal filed in XXXX County Georgia litigation against SPS. I really would like SPS to answer my questions before we attempt to negotiate a settlement. 

So please answer my questions. I am again requesting a criminal investigation with you, among other investigative institutions for breaches of contracts well before you started servicing this loan. 

This request for investigation is based on tax evasion, money laundering, predatory lending, deceptive trade practices and fraud. I requested the name of the Securitized Trust that my note was in, and have not received it yet. XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX was the original lender on my note, not XXXX XXXX XXXX Company as illegally placed at the lender on my note. With this Deed and note publicly recorded, XXXX XXXX XXXX may have committed Fraud, Forgery, Perjury, money laundering, among other crimes. 

My note has been through Assignments several times ( Attached ), each of which appear to be Fraudulent with signatures of Bank Employees, not XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX employees, which went out of existence on XXXX XXXX, XXXX and could not sign or transfer any documents or Assignments ( As attached ). XXXX XXXX XXXX then with a limited power of attorney from the FDIC than awards my house back to XXXX XXXX XXXX. Signed by XXXX XXXX XXXX employees. Notarized by a XXXX XXXX friendly Notary. 

Since XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX had no authority to remove or assign my above note after XXXX XXXX, XXXX, why were there Assignments in XXXX and XXXX? 

Each signatory of each document should be investigated to determine if they were in fact XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXXXXXX employees, or Bank Employees creating Legal Documents to Defraud the Homeowner. I have sent a QWR asking basic accounting questions about records which SPS does n't seem to have. 

I also challenge the P & A agreement Chase uses to validate authority from XXXX to foreclose. I question the assets actually acquired by XXXX which then sold/transferred to SPS. 

Please answer these questions before the CFPB so that we can move forward one way or another.

I had fraud committed on my XXXX credit card account by my ex-wife. Charged over {$2000.00} by my ex-wife unbeknownst to me. I found out about these charges when I was refinancing on my house and the mortgage company went through my credit history. XXXX Company 's excuse was that my ex-wife opened the card when we were still married and decided to use the card after the divorce and I have the deeper pocket so I am responsible for the charges. There is no voice authorization said I accepted my ex-wife into my account let alone no written authorization. XXXX kept saying that because I was once married to her that I am responsible, and if I wanted to cancel her account or even my account so I do not do any more business with the XXXX ; I have to sign admitting that it 's my fault which is not! The company knows I am trying to keep my credit rating up so they are going after me even though it 's my ex-wife who charged all the money! I am the victim of fraud, and I advise everybody to not have this happened to them especially when you go through a divorce. Do not let this happened to you! Especially with XXXX Co. they are the worse customer service to deal with in fraud especially when you are the ACTUAL victim!
