Issue: Problem with a credit reporting company's investigation into an existing problem — Difficulty submitting a dispute or getting information about a dispute over the phone
Company: EQUIFAX, INC. (PA)

I recently submitted complaint # XXXX. It was immediately closed and I was sent a letter stating someone else submitted the complaint without verifying themselves and it will be closed. I am submitting this complaint. I wasn't even contacted before you closed my complaint why is that? But the reason my complaint was closed on your site says that I previously had the same complaint already. How is that? Where is the other complaint number for the same complaint? I am resubmitting my own complaint. I am a victim of Identity Theft. Due to the data breach at Equifax, I have several accounts and inquiries that I did not authorize on my credit file. I made several attempts to contact them and could not get anyone on the phone. I attached my fully completed Identity theft report # XXXX. I made several attempts to resolve this isssue. Please process my complaint.

It appears that my credit file has been compromised. Again, I was going through my records & noticed many items which do not belong to me. Since Im a stickler for research, I found that under section 605b of the FCRA you are required by law to remove & block any items which are found to be opened due to identity theft. The dispute items do not belong to me. Im attaching the required FTC Report for you ( learned through more research both parties require ). Please block/remove these files.

To Whom It May Concern, I hope this email finds you well. I am writing to follow up on an unresolved dispute with XXXX, associated with complaint ID : XXXX. Despite my repeated attempts, XXXX has failed to adequately address the issue, incorrectly asserting that the window for dispute has closed. I would like to bring to your attention the circumstances surrounding this dispute and the subsequent detrimental effects on my credit score. 

The dispute in question is related to a transaction made through XXXX a company of XXXX XXXX XXXX. It has been acknowledged by the merchant that they did not forward my paid taxes to the state of Illinois, which subsequently necessitated my repayment. In writing, the merchant has requested that I initiate a dispute with my issuing bank, as they are unable to issue a direct refund since the funds have already left their coffers. 

However, my issuing bank has not only refused to honor my rights as stipulated by Regulation Z ( Billing Error Resolution ), but it has also charged me interest on the disputed amount. Furthermore, the bank has added a line item to my credit report indicating that I initiated and lost a dispute. These actions have had a severe and negative impact on my credit score and financial well-being. 

Therefore, I respectfully request the following actions be taken : 1. Reexamine Dispute XXXXXXXX : I urge the issuing bank to thoroughly reassess the details of the dispute. It is unrealistic and unfair for the bank to expect customers to possess knowledge beyond what the merchant displays as its name on its website. Therefore, the bank 's claim that I submitted the dispute with the wrong merchant is false and misleading. 
2. Remove Accrued Interest : I kindly request the immediate removal of any accrued interest related to the disputed amount. Charging interest on an unresolved dispute only exacerbates the financial burden imposed upon me. 
3. Remove Credit Reporting Line Item : I request that the line item added to my credit report, indicating that I initiated and lost a dispute, be promptly removed. This erroneous entry has significantly and unjustly impacted my credit score, hindering my financial opportunities. 

I emphasize the urgency of this matter and the detrimental consequences it has imposed upon me. I implore you to address these concerns promptly, rectify the credit reporting inaccuracies, and provide a fair resolution in accordance with the applicable regulations. 

I appreciate your attention to this matter and trust that you will take the necessary steps to resolve these issues in a timely and satisfactory manner. 

Thank you for your understanding and cooperation. 

Sincerely, XXXX XXXX

I signed up for the Bank of America XXXX XXXXXXXX credit card, approved on XXXX XXXX 2023 with an offer of XXXX bonus miles if you spend XXXX in the first 90 days. I did not receive the credit card until XX/XX/XXXX, aster multiple calls asking about it and having a new one reissued and finally mailed to me. I called today to extend the 90 day period to spend the XXXX and get the miles and was told that they can not extend this, it is a violation of the federal fair lending act and there is nothing they can do. This is such a scam and the complete opposite of fair lending practices, I now have 30 days to rack up XXXX so Bank of America can charge me 22 % interest. This is truly egregious and not fair.
