Issue: Written notification about debt — Didn't receive enough information to verify debt
Company: Merchants and Medical Credit Corporation, Inc. (MI)

In XX/XX/2021 I received a phone call from Merchants and Medical stating I owed a debt, but didn't tell me who it came from, and I had to pay. I explained I had no knowledge of the debt and have never received any type of notification other than this very phone call. 

I requested documentation and proof of the debt be sent to my address and informed them I've lived at this location for 6 years. If they had sent anything, I would have received it. 

As of today I have not received any documentation of the debt, how much I owe and how to dispute it. Merchants and medical have placed the collection on my credit report without properly notifying me.

In my previous letters, I submitted a request to block items on my consumer report as I am a victim of identity theft. This was not a dispute, however, the FCRA has chosen to forgo Federal regulation and apply their company policy to treat this as a dispute. In fact, when I called them, they stated that their policy supersedes Federal law ( which states ) ( a ) Block A consumer reporting agency should block the reporting of any information in the file of a consumer that the consumer identifies as information that resulted from alleged identity theft, not later than 4 business days after the date receipt by such agency of- ( XXXX ) appropriate proof of the identity of the consumer ; ( XXXX ) a copy of an identity theft report, ( XXXX ) the identification of such information by the consumer, and ( XXXX ) a statement by the consumer that the information is not information relating to any transaction by the consumer. I submitted proof that my social security number, fingerprints, birthdate, addresses, and other identifying information were affected by the XXXX XXXX data breach as well as XXXX 's XXXX data breach. I submitted all the required documents per 15usc1681c and yet the CRA has failed to block this information and it has been over 4 days. Again, this is NOT A DISPUTE.

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

Dear Sir/Madam, I am writing to file a formal complaint regarding a violation of my credit reporting rights, which has resulted in inaccurate and misleading information being displayed on my consumer report. This issue pertains to the reporting of transactions on my credit report, specifically regarding the display of balances and payments. I believe this practice is in direct violation of relevant statutes, including 15 U.S.C codes and 16 CFR regulations.

According to 15 U.S.C 1681s-2 ( a ) ( 1 ) ( A ), creditors have a legal obligation to provide accurate information to consumer reporting agencies. Furthermore, 15 U.S.C 1681b ( f ) specifies the permissible purposes for obtaining consumer reports, and any information provided must be accurate and verifiable.

Displaying the balance and payments on a consumer report constitutes reporting transactions, which falls under the purview of the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ). As such, it must adhere to the guidelines outlined in relevant statutes and regulations. 16 CFR 660.4 states that when reporting an account to a consumer reporting agency, it must be reported accurately and reflect the consumer 's payment behavior. Specifically, it should be reported as " Paid as agreed '' when payments are made on time. 

Failure to report transactions accurately not only misrepresents my financial behavior but also violates my rights under the Privacy Act of 1974, which safeguards the confidentiality and accuracy of personal information held by federal agencies. By failing to report the status of my accounts as " Paid as agreed, '' the creditor is providing inaccurate information, which can have detrimental effects on my creditworthiness and financial standing. 

Therefore, I request that the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau investigate this matter thoroughly and take appropriate action to rectify the inaccuracies on my consumer report. I also urge the bureau to ensure that creditors adhere to the provisions outlined in the FCRA and other relevant statutes to prevent similar violations in the future. 

Thank you for your attention to this matter. I look forward to a prompt resolution. 

Sincerely, XXXX XXXX

I have also disputed it with all 3 credit bureaus and only XXXX has taken it off. The other two keep saying it was verified and updated. I am a victim of fraud.
