Issue: Improper use of your report — Reporting company used your report improperly
Company: EQUIFAX, INC. (IL)

I am writing to formally request that you promptly remove any claims that have been reported in a manner that is non-compliant and unfair to me. This correspondence serves as my official consumer complaint, wherein I contest the accuracy of the claims included in your notice and challenge you and any other data repositories involved to provide irrefutable evidence that each claim was made in strict compliance with the mandated Metro 2 Data-filled Field Formatted reporting standards, including the requirements of fairness, truthfulness, correctness, timeliness, verifiability, and validity. While I do not dispute the validity of the claim itself, nor do I acknowledge it, I do have serious concerns about the adequacy of its reporting, given that federal law mandates that any claim must be reported with the utmost accuracy and completeness. As per XXXX  XXXX, I believe that the integrity of the claims reported by you is questionable at best and therefore potentially unlawful. I respectfully request that you take immediate action to investigate this matter thoroughly and provide me with a satisfactory resolution that upholds the principles of compliant reporting practices and procedures. It is imperative that you immediately and permanently adhere to federal and state reporting regulations in a factual and undeniable manner. The XXXX, responsible for creating the manual for reporting standards, has established requirements for compliant reporting practices and adequate, complete, and verifiable data submissions, and concluded that any deviations from these standards jeopardize the integrity of the data. Your reporting practices are questionable and do not meet even the minimal requirements for the privilege to report. You had the opportunity to report in a manner that is certifiably compliant, but your deviations suggest otherwise. As such, I contest your reporting privileges and challenge you to prove each and every aspect of requisite reporting and adhere to all required adequate practices. I demand that you remove from reporting exactly as I have requested immediately.

I am writing to file a formal complaint regarding the immediate removal of collection accounts from my credit report. 

Despite my persistent efforts to rectify this issue with the credit reporting agencies, the collection accounts continue to negatively impact my creditworthiness and financial standing. The presence of these accounts on my credit report is unjustified and is hindering my ability to access credit and financial opportunities. 

I have provided extensive documentation to support my claims, including evidence of payments and communication with creditors. However, the credit reporting agencies have failed to take appropriate action to remove these collection accounts from my credit report in a timely manner. 

I request that you intervene in this matter to ensure that the credit reporting agencies fulfill their obligations under the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ). This includes promptly removing any inaccurately reported collection accounts from my credit report and providing me with a corrected copy of my credit report. 

Furthermore, I request appropriate restitution for any damages suffered as a result of the credit reporting agencies ' failure to address this issue in a timely and satisfactory manner. With this, I am asking for your assisstance to remove these fraud items in my credit file : XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX

my identity was hacked around XX/XX/2023 ( including my phone at the time ( XXXX ) XXXX, my XXXX, and ALL my Chase bank accounts ( personal and business ). The hacker was able to make a fake ID, fake debit card, and had the use of my old number ( XXXX ) XXXX which they stole from XXXX XXXX XXXX ( I had to get a new number from XXXX XXXX XXXX from that point ). I complained and spoke with MANY different reps at Chase bank and spent over 15-20 hours on the phone and going to the local branch to resolve the issue but they did not help at all. I sat down with the local branch manager, district manager ( two of them ), and they all apologized and said they would speak with their superiors but they have done nothing. They still claim they are investigating but they have not cooperated with XXXX -- XXXX has an open investigation on this since over $ XXXX was stolen from my accounts. The hacker walked into several branches and withdrew money with the fake ID and debit card but according to one of the employees, he didn't look anything like the picture on the fake ID and his signature was completely different than mine or the fake ID. Also, there tens of thousands sent via XXXX by the hacker to his friends/family for which Chase has not refunded either. The hacker is still on the loose and applying for more credit cards under my name. In fact, Chase allowed the hacker to apply for and granted a credit card to him even when I already have a personal and business card through Chase. They never once notified me of any of these fraudulent transactions -- I found out of my identity theft via XXXX XXXX XXXX after my phone stopped working.

Company: GOLDMAN SACHS BANK USA (CA)

I have opened an Apple Card which is ran by Goldman Sachs. I attempted to make a purchase for my fiance 's engagement ring as we'll be going on a trip to Oregon soon, so I can propose. My card transaction was declined on XX/XX/2023. I only know that because the vendor contacted me telling me the card was declined. Goldman Sachs did not make any attempt to notify me of the declined transaction through any means. 

I texted the customer service line via XXXX on XX/XX/2023, they told me the account was under investigation and could not provide any details, only that indeed, the credit card transaction was declined. 

I then contacted customer service via phone on the same day, XX/XX/2023 and asked about the transaction. I was told the same thing, the account is under investigation and they can't give me details. 

I was not told why was my card declined, why was I never notified that the transaction was declined, why and what am I under " investigation '' for, and why am unable to use the credit card at all now, until this " investigation '' is " closed ''. 

They also told me the " investigation '' may take 10 days, but it may be less or it may be more, which provides absolutely 0 useful information. 

I basically received a hard credit inquiry to open up a credit card that I can not use, and I receive absolutely 0 communication from the bank that I opened it through. There seems to be exactly 0 accountability on the part of Goldman Sachs
