Product: Credit reporting, credit repair services, or other personal consumer reports — Credit reporting
Issue: Problem with a credit reporting company's investigation into an existing problem — Their investigation did not fix an error on your report
Company: Experian Information Solutions Inc. (CA)

Letter of Complaint : Refuse to Validate Debt Beginning in 2019, Ive disputed the debt with the major credit bureaus, as well as XXXX  XXXX XXXX. I requested proof of validation. So far, none of them have been able to provide such proof to me. I have sent multiple follow-up letters to each of the companies, and there still is no proof. At this point, Experian, XXXX  or XXXX, no longer responds, or update the account. 

I have fully investigated my rights in this matter. Under the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act, if no proof is provided to me within 30 days, I may presume that no proof of the alleged debt, nor therefore any such debt, in fact exists. I have copies of the certified letters and dates as evidence of my requests ( see enclosed ). Under the Fair Credit Reporting Act, these disputed items may not appear on my credit report if they can not be supported by any evidence. According to the Fair Credit Reporting Act, if the debt cant be verified within 30 days, then it must be removed. Telephone Communications with XXXX XXXX, Experian and XXXX  claim to have verified the debt, but this is, in fact not true under law. Simply contacting the alleged creditor, and asking them to match up numbers in their database, or or using the E Oscar System to input codes is not sufficient verification.

Issue: Problem with a company's investigation into an existing problem — Investigation took more than 30 days
Company: EQUIFAX, INC. (GA)

I have already sent a letter addressing the inaccuracies and unknown items on my credit report, but unfortunately, I have not received any response even after 30 days. It feels like I'm being taken advantage of and my disputes are being ignored. According to Section 611 ( a ), if these items are not investigated within 30 days, they should be promptly removed from my credit report. Since it has been over 30 days, I expect these accounts to be updated immediately. If not, I will have no choice but to pursue legal action due to the stress this situation has caused me. Additionally, my information was also affected by the Equifax, XXXX, and XXXX data breach, which raises concerns about the security of my personal data.

Issue: Improper use of your report — Credit inquiries on your report that you don't recognize
Company: EQUIFAX, INC. (AL)

Reviewed most recent credit report from ( insert credit name ) and I noticed inquiries that did not belong to me. After reaching out to the creditors, I was advised they did not have a record on file of me ever applying for credit with their company. The creditor advised me to contact the CRA to have the inquiry disputed and investigated as they do not have the ability to do so. 

After contacting the CRA I was meant with push-back even though I expressed the inquires in questions did not belong to me and the creditors agreed the inquiries are not attached to any file or application they have with my personal accurate information. 

Per 15 USC 1681b ( c ) Furnishing reports in connection with credit or insurance transactions that are not initiated by consumer ( 3 ) Information regarding inquiries ; Except as provided in section 15 USC 1681g ( a ) ( 5 ) of this title, a consumer reporting agency shall not furnish to any person a record of inquiries in connection with a credit or insurance transaction that is not initiated by a consumer.

Company: Self Financial Inc. (IL)

The presence of a derogatory rating on my account is deeply concerning to me. I am worried about the impact it may have on my credit, as it has already resulted in the denial of a recent loan application and an increase in the interest rates on my existing credit accounts. I want to emphasize the significant financial and emotional distress this negative rating has caused me and will continue to cause until it is resolved.

We waited the 30 days and still getting calls. Been doing this for 5 months and still not fixed. After we talked to a supervisor after being hung up on when asked to take off marketing again we found no one was putting in the request and notes were on the account to be taken off but no one listened.

Company: CW Financial (KS)

Regarding XXXX. They are continuing to report an account as a Charge off. I have disputed this at least 6 times and have asked in writing to be provided with the accuracy of this account according to the laws and guidelines of the FRCA. They will not provide any proof of verification but continue their incorrect reporting. The company is XXXX XXXX. They have no information except a phone number to call and when I tried it says it's been disconnected. This account was originally thru XXXX XXXX. 
In XX/XX/XXXX I reported fraudulent charges made in this account, many in other countries or locations I had not been too. I worked with XXXX XXXX and continued to pay my charges off until the balance was XXXX. The last payment made was XX/XX/XXXX.  The account was closed. Both XXXX and XXXX  removed XXXX XXXX from my account as they were not the original creditor. XXXX XXXX is reporting the payments I made to XXXX XXXX, but begin reporting late from XX/XX/XXXX. In XX/XX/XXXX they reported my account current. I thought this meant that due to my dispute it would erase all late charges as the remaining amount left was due to fraudulent charges. This was not the case, they then reported it as a Charge off. They also reported that I had made a payment on XX/XX/XXXX. Again inaccurate. They have continued to report to XXXX since then that this is a charge off. Even though XXXX is aware of the situation they continue to report these inaccuracies and will not provide any proof, except to say they electronically verified, even though I asked for written proof that this is my debt, which they were unable to provide me with.

I called Equifax today and multiple days last week, when you call your prompted to put your personal identifying information in, after inputting my correct information, I was told my information does not match which gives me a even higher privacy concern with Equifax since they continues to have major breaches. Monday I called and spoke with a representative by the name of XXXX who told me she see Im a victim of fraud and need to add the credit lock for extra protection of my information when my personal information should be protected once they assumed this vital role. Im more concerned that If I dont pay the XXXX like XXXX kept stating my information would not be as protected. I told XXXX no and she still continued to try to coerce me into paying even went as far as stating why cant I buy it and dont I want my information protected, which scares me tremendously. 
A collection account was removed and my score did not increase but it decreased when it was added making no sense. I also called multiple times asking Equifax letting them know this account was not mine and to provide me with substantial proof that they exercise there grave responsibility to make sure this account from XXXX was correctly investigated before furnishing and they failed to do so and failed to remove it. I have no business with XXXX nor does they have a permissible purpose to furnish. Equifax has let another company infringe upon my rights after assuming this position you were to make sure my consumer report is equitable and fair to me according to the FCRA.

For several months now, I have been disputing XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX for reporting my account 2x30 late. Every single response from Experian has been that it was verified. I finally disputed the erroneous information with the XXXX  and XXXX XXXX XXXX replied with that is was most definitely an error on their part. It is obvious to me, when you file a dispute with Experian, they do not investigate. Had they done an investigation they would have gotten the same results I did. I have loss opportunities due to their lack of keeping the information they report correct. This is against FCRA rules and regulations and Experian should be held to this.

My rights enacted by the FRCA, FBCA and Privacy Act are in violation by the unaffiliated 3rd party ( s ) this complaint is going to. For items that have been placed on my credit report. I have included attached documents of these items. As per 15 USC 6802 ( b ) and ( c ). I was never provided the knowledge of the opportunity to opt-out of my personal information being reported. I then was also not provided knowledge and instructions on how to opt- out of my personal information being reported. In addition I have late payments that are being listed that were never verified and violated my rights per 15 USC 1666b. Both the credit furnisher and reporting agencies are in violation of these acts. They are unable to provide adequate verifiable proof. Which has also been attached in the documents uploaded, providing exact types of acceptable proof to have it considered verified. Lack of this acceptable proof based on the claim is lack of Corporate Compliance and a crime. If the proper recordings matching the letters are not rectified within 30 days and updated immediately with proof of the update. I will next exercise my rights to take legal actions. Since both parties are currently the acting fiduciary agents over my entrusted interests and information. 
I will take this to federal court to seek the highest claim of the Federal Reserve Act Section 29.

I have sent letters on two different ocassions and the first time the bureau stated they did not receive it so I sent another copy on XX/XX/21. I sent letters to each bureau about unauthorized items that appeared on my credit report, I contacted the federal trade commission to file the identity report and mailed a copy of my police report in to them and I have not received a response yet. I feel like I'm being victimized all over again because the bureaus are not trying to help seems like they just want to continue to make money off the negative information. I feel like they dont care if its right or wrong Section 611 ( a ) plainly states that failure to investigate these items within 30 days gives a reason to immediately remove those items from my credit report. I demand these accounts be deleted immediately or I will file for litigation due to stress you have caused me. My information was also impacted by the XXXX and XXXX  data breach and seems to have gotten into the hands of the wrong person.

Product: Debt collection — Non-federal student loan
Issue: Disclosure verification of debt — Not given enough info to verify debt
Company: Continental Services Group, Inc. d/b/a ConServe (FL)

I am writing on behalf of my teenage son, who just turned XXXX and was a student at the University XXXX XXXX Florida in XXXX. He stopped going to school temporarily until he could decide what he wanted to study. He knows he owes the university money, but he received absolutely NO communication from the school regarding his debt, not even a notice that his debt would go in to collections if he did not submit a payment. 

My son was first contacted by PHONE from the XXXX XXXX XXXX collections agency of XXXX, NY. This was his first ever dealing with debt and neither I or his mother were home to advise him. Instead, the company told him over the phone they needed his credit card number and to pick a date to start taking money out of his account. About a week later, on or about XXXX XXXX, he received a debt collections letter and a few days after that they removed {$360.00} fro his bank account. 

I am upset with the University XXXX XXXX Florida for failing to contact my son FIRST to try to make an arrangement to pay. There were no letter sent to our house, no phone calls made to alert my son they were going to send his debt to collections if he did n't make a payment. 

Both the University XXXX XXXX Florida as well as the XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX ( ConServe ) took advantage of my son and did not provide him with an adequate opportunity to make arrangements to pay back the university. Furthermore, the collections cost on his {$3300.00} debt was {$1000.00} -- approximately one-third of the cost of his debt. NO credit card company, no mortgage lender, no bank I know of levies a 30 % penalty on debt, especially without attempting to make an arrangement to pay. 

The university should be ashamed of themselves for this practice. My son simply did not know how to react and this is his first " real world '' challenge as a young adult.
