Please remove this unauthorized account as soon as possible, Equifax. I have all of the hard copies you gave as a verified account, but it isn't mine, and I contacted the credit card company, but they have no records indicating that I am the account 's owner. I'd also like the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau to look into what Equifax is doing and how careless they are when it comes to account verification. Thank you.

Issue: Incorrect information on your report — Account information incorrect
Company: TRANSUNION INTERMEDIATE HOLDINGS, INC. (IL)

I requested my credit report from Transunion on XX/XX/2019. I saw that there was negative information reported by XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX in the file that Transunion maintains under my Social Security Number. Upon reviewing that copy of my credit report, I saw an entry listing incorrect and missing information. As well as an incorrect account number. I wrote and certified mailed a letter to Transunion challenging the accuracy, compliance and reportability of this listing. I asked them to please validate that information with XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX and provide me with copies of any documentation associated with this account, bearing my signature. I requested in the absence of any such documentation bearing my signature, I formally requested that the information be immediately deleted from the credit file they maintain under my Social Security Number. I also stated that I do not consent to XXXX or any means of automated verification. They replied back that XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX " Verified '' that the account they are reporting under my name is accurate. I then on XX/XX/2019 certified mailed another letter to Transunion Requesting that the description of the procedure used to determine the accuracy and completeness of the information was being requested, to be provided within 15 days of the completion of their re-investigation. Additionally, to please provide the name, address and telephone number of each person contacted regarding this alleged account. I formally requested a copy of any documents provided bearing my signature, showing that I have a legally binding contractual obligation to pay them the exact amount claimed. And that any automated response or XXXX verification is unacceptable. I requested a re-investigation and their method of verification. They did not reply back in 30 days. So by them not replying back within 30 days they violated federal law, and they had failed to provide me with a copy of any viable evidence, bearing my signature, showing the account is being reported accurately. And I have evidence via certified mail receipts. So they must remove the item.

When I left XXXX University in XX/XX/XXXX I had a balance of {$6200.00} in which I was making payments up until XX/XX/XXXX with a remaining balance of {$4200.00} when I went back to school at the University of Florida. I made one more payment at XX/XX/XXXX to drop the balance at {$4000.00}. From my understanding as long as I am in school at a part time capacity or better and after graduation I have a 6 month grace period. I recently discovered that my credit score got affected negatively in XXXX of XXXX so I asked for my credit report in which it showed that XXXX XXXX reported to XXXX, XXXX, and Experian that my account was delinquent. I've contacted them on 3 separate occasion trying to settle/dispute this account in which I was made to pay {$300.00} on XX/XX/XXXX which they never explained that the account was active again but I was told on 2 other occasion that this was still delinquent because it was past due 90 days and it was suppose to be in the delinquent department which they refuse to give the number for. Now I called again today and was told that the account is not delinquent.

My complain is with the action they took they have damaged my credit score significantly tha
t it dropped over 200 points. I have never received any type of communication from them either mail, phone calls, or email and I was told that they have tried reaching me with all of this but I have never even received a voice mail. Upon receiving my credit report I see that they have been billing me from XXXX and from my understanding I have a 6 month grace period upon graduating from school which I graduated in XX/XX/XXXX. I wasn't even given a 6 month grace period on top of the fact that they never sent any type of communication to me. 

I understand that I owe the loan but the way they handled the matter and destroyed my credit score is what I'm fighting for. I want them to remove the negative notes they sent to XXXX, Experian, and XXXX  and fix my credit score. I have a attached a copy of my credit report showing that they have started billing me 1 month after graduation without any communication. This is not fair practice from a financial institution and is a irresponsible actions that can cause possibly not getting a job, can't find a place to stay, or can't get a loan for a home because they ruined my credit.

Company: Sentry Credit, Inc. (TX)

SENTRY CREDIT has begun reporting an account as a collection on my credit. This account is not solely mine and is currently being negotiated inside of divorce proceedings. I have spoken to agents at Sentry Credit and I have explained that my I am unable to reach my ex regarding this debt, nor do I know where she is, nor am I able to or required to make the full payment. I have further explained that the balance of this account will be paid in full by both my ex and I, once the divorce is finalized. I was misled to believe that the creditor would wait for the final divorce decree before any further action would be taken. This debt is only 1/2 mine and I intend to pay the debt in full with funds that I am entitled to receive in the divorce proceedings.

Company: LEXISNEXIS (IL)

My name is XXXX XXXX, a federally protected consumer. I am submitting this complaint against LexisNexis in reference to complaint # XXXX ( attached ). In their response, LexisNexis stated that their investigation was resolved on XX/XX/2022, however based on the information I, XXXX XXXX, provided in the previous complaint, they were unable to fully authenticate my identity, and that even though I, XXXX XXXX, provided them with my name, address and driver 's license, LexisNexis still needs additional information to further prove my identity. My question to LexisNexis is how were they able to properly investigate any disputes or complaints, needing more information to fully authenticate my identity? According to 15 USC 1681h, proper identification was given. Congress does not state that the consumer has to provide any other means of identifying documentation, other than what I have already provided. ( attached labeled Identification ). My second question to LexisNexis is to provide me with the " description of the procedure '' used ( as they stated in their response ) in their investigation? LexisNexis also stated in their response that they have no obligation under the FCRA 15 usc 1681 and that i need to be advised that LexisNexis is not a debt collector. I am aware that LexisNexis is in fact a consumer reporting agency according to 15 usc 1681a ( p ) and according to 15 usc 1681b ( 2 ) the furnishing of any consumer related information has to be in accordance with the written instructions of the consumer to whom it relates. Lastly, LexisNexis stated 3 " rights '' that I, as a consumer, have the right to according to FCRA, yet LexisNexis failed to mention my rights to privacy according to 15 usc 1681 section 602 A.
