Product: Credit reporting, credit repair services, or other personal consumer reports — Credit reporting
Issue: Improper use of your report — Reporting company used your report improperly
Company: EQUIFAX, INC. (MD)

Found out that even after our XXXX XXXX XXXX mortgage account has been removed from Equifax, changes to our scores are still happening when it seems we're trying to refinance and get away from them. This is an action that we're well familiar with, and it happens EVERYTIME there is a credit inquiry that appears as Refinancing attempt. 

The credit apps sends out warnings when there are changes to my credit reporting. The most recent alert shows what normally happens after there is an mortgage inquiry. Equifax ( only ) score dropped by XXXX points. The app also shows what caused the drop. It is showing my XXXX XXXX account, had an {$92.00} increase. This is not possible considering the last reported change to the XXXX account was in XXXX. So why would an increase take place a month after the last reporting. The app also shows The inquiry that was believed to be a mortgage company. 

Now, Equifax had previously informed me that they had removed the entire XXXX XXXX XXXX account, so we wanted to see if XXXX XXXX XXXX  would still have access to our Equifax credit reporting and that was confirmed by the changes. 

In no way should the score continue to drop simply from an suspected mortgage inquiry, that's usually only a point or two drop. I've had it drop as much as XXXX points in the past, but mostly on XXXX only. I also have recorded more than XXXX changes that happens mostly on Equifax from two separate mortgage servicers ( one being XXXX XXXX XXXX ). 

We have been made aware that the credit bureaus are being used to exploit us using predatory practices. And what really reveal things, the score drop only happened on Equifax.

Company: BANK OF AMERICA, NATIONAL ASSOCIATION (CA)

I applied for unemployment XXXX XXXX started working and never received any information regarding unemployment benefits so I just disregarded it. My mail box was broken into. This was reported to the post office. I never received a Bank of America Bank card for my unemployment benefits. Someone completely took control of the account. They somehow got the Bank card and all of my information. They assigned an email I am not familiar with and even changed the address through unemployment. Meanwhile, {$8000.00} was paid out to the theft. Once I found out this information I filed a fraud claim with unemployment which hasnt been resolved yet. I filed a fraud claim with Bank of America which I included a statement and documents of proof as well as police report and they denied my claim three times. Bank of America said that the transactions that were made were not suspicious. How the heck is getting a XXXX XXXX  every single pay day from unemployment not suspicious. If you look at how I use my card now that I actually have it, there is a huge difference! I post my bills and grocery shop and etc. I just want the money owed to me

Company: CAPITAL ONE FINANCIAL CORPORATION (FL)

There are two accounts from Capital One reporting as a charge-off on my credit report. In XXXX, I submitted a dispute to the credit bureaus and pointed out a discrepancy in the date of last activity. I also submitted a direct dispute to Capital One. 

Upon checking my credit report again now in XXXX, the account has not been corrected or removed. I also see that a remark has been added " account previously in dispute, now resolved ''. I am in complete disagreement as I do not believe my issue has been resolved. 

If these accounts were closed because they were charged-off, how can they report a charge-off each month? These accounts are repeatedly reporting a charge-off every month. This is inaccurate and unfair reporting. 

How can these accounts be reporting without showing the date they were closed? If the date closed is not reporting, then it is unverified information. 

I am attaching a copy of my disputes to demonstrate that the Credit Reporting Agencies and Furnisher were notified that the Capital One accounts on my credit report are reporting inaccurate and incomplete information.

This bank is committing fraud and neglecting their fiduciary duty as well as making defamatory statements about me and lying to federal regulators about the actions of their representatives to contact me. 

For a year now I have had to tolerate the repeated lie on XX/XX/2021 the branch XXXX of my local bank attempted to contact me. I already reported this was a lie and nothing has been done about it. I am requesting the banks insurance information to file a claim for this defamatory damaging lie that I refused or missed a contact by this branch XXXX. Please show me some proof any attempt to contact me was made. 

I would remind this bank they have a legal obligation to act in my best interest, please tell me what illegally and fraudulently lying about an attempt to contact me serves to help me. 

I was never apologized to for the harassment I received at this bank and am tired of being lied to, your bank has 30 days to provide their insurance information for spreading defamatory claims I already many months ago informed your bank was not true. If you fail to disclose your insurer 's information I will forward this to the local XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX, the GA XXXX XXXX XXXX and the applicable state regulator agency for Insurance, I will find your insurer inform them you failed to contact them about this issue for which your company is liable likely in violation of contractual obligations with them and will take further action to collect for your tortious defamatory claims you tried to contact me and I failed to respond or refused contact from your branch XXXX who NEVER TRIED TO CALL ME AND SENT NO LETTERS THAT I DID RECEIVE! 

I have phone logs for the number I have on file and have had XXXX Informed Delivery since XX/XX/2021 so any contact attempt would be recorded. 
You will not lie your way out of this one. Your company has victimized me and illegally lied to federal regulators about your actions.
