Issue: Problem with a credit reporting company's investigation into an existing problem — Was not notified of investigation status or results
Company: EQUIFAX, INC. (MS)

Dear Legal Department, This credit dispute is being submitted as a new evidence dispute. The accounts that are being disputed, does not belong to me. Below is my sworn statement concerning these credit issues.

It is my sworn statement that I declare under penalty of perjury ( " under the laws of the United States " if executed outside of the United States '' ) that the foregoing is true and correct to the best of my knowledge. Further, I certify that I am qualified and authorized to file this dispute. I also understand that knowing and a willful misstatement or omissions of material facts constitutes a federal criminal violation punishable under 18 U.S.C. 1001. Additionally, these misstatements are punishable l1S perjury under 18U.S.C. 1621. 

The tradelines listed below are items currently within my credit file, and none of these are related to any transaction that was made by me. It is my official statement that someone and/or several people have opened these accounts and made transactions on these accounts without my knowledge or authorization, my personal information has been used to obtain goods, services, or money : and the person ( s ) responsible for creating these accounts. 

I have filed a report with the Federal Trade Commission, which I have enclosed within this dispute package. I have reached out to all of these creditors and have made them aware that these accounts were fraudulently opened, and they have known this for several months, but have yet to remove these accounts from my credit reports. Some of the creditors have been cooperative and have removed the accounts, but others have refused to remove the fraudulent accounts. Therefore, I have come to you, the credit reporting agencies to resolve these issues. The law says that you must block these accounts while being investigated, and I expect that you will do so. 

I made an attempt to file a police report, but I was informed by my county that it did not constitute as an emergency and that they would not file the report because I didn't have any information on the person who used my information, nor did I know how my information was obtained by this person. 

Likewise, these COLLECTION ACCOUNTS are also not mine. None of these belong to me. This means that I was not the person, which had an account with the original creditor, which has sold these accounts to these collection agencies that are now reporting the debts.

Issue: Advertising and marketing, including promotional offers — Didn't receive advertised or promotional terms
Company: STERLING JEWELERS, INC. (WI)

I purchased 2 watches as gifts from the XXXX mall location in Wisconsin of XXXX 's on XX/XX/XXXX. My purchase total was {$690.00}. Since I already have a Sterling Credit Card I knew that purchases over {$500.00} were qualified to be interest free for 6 months. I confirmed with the gentleman that I made the purchase from that this was correct and he agreed. 

I then had to take back one of the watches because my stepdad didn't like the style and wanted to pick something different. We exchanged one watch on XX/XX/XXXX for a different one. I did get a {$76.00} credit into my account since the new watch I purchased didn't cost as much as the first one. This would still leave me with a {$610.00} purchase- still should have been qualified for no interest. 

To my surprise I was charged with my first finance charge of {$12.00} on XX/XX/XXXX. I then emailed the company ( an option when you are logged into your account online ) on XX/XX/XXXX and asked why I was being charged interest. I received an answer on XX/XX/XXXX from XXXX XXXX stating that the promotional plan I was interested in requires a 20 % down payment at the time of purchase so I wasn't eligible. 

My response on XX/XX/XXXX to that was that I was not informed at the time of purchase that I was required to make a down payment or I would have done so. I then asked for the situation to be handled or I would be filing a formal complaint. That response was : a very general : XXXX XXXX  issues your account and responds to all credit related inquires on XX/XX/XXXX. This infuriated me. I had to actually wait to calm down about this situation before I filed the complaint. I work in customer relations at a bank and would never blow off a customer that states they will file a formal complaint. I deal with them everyday and make sure that whatever they ask for is handled. For me to get treated like this when the shoe is on the other foot is a slap in the face. 

I thought I would wait one month to see if I'm still being charged interest and sure enough I am.

Company: AMERICAN EXPRESS COMPANY (MS)

In XXXX 2016, I completed credit counseling in order to get a debt management plan. My payments from American Express were changed from the XXXX of each month to the XXXX of each month. This was done in XXXX, as the debt management plan began on XX/XX/XXXX. However, I noticed that my payment made on the XX/XX/XXXXthrough the debt management plan has been marked as 30 days late by AmEx by the credit bureau. I have disputed this with XXXX as well as requested a change from AmEx to no avail. All my other payments have been made on the between the XXXX and XXXX  through the XXXX and have not been reported as late so I am unable to understand the problem.

So I asked some additional information, wanted there website, asked for the main number. The guy refused. Then I asked can I just pay check n go directly. He said no, I have to pay them or they were turn it over to XXXX superior court, and I will go to jail. Then he went on to say I had a failure to appear in court already. But he will solve it today over the phone with payment. 

At that point i told the guy, can I call back so I can get more information.he said no this is my last chance because they contacted me before. So I just hung up the phone.

Company: CBC Companies, Inc. (NY)

I tried to put credit freezes on these credit agencies reporting my non public personal information without the consent of the consumer controlling his principle. I did not give these credit agencies my consent in no way shape or form to traffic and communicate any information pertaining to my principle. This is aggravated identity theft these companies are getting unjust enrichment while the consumer does not benefit from the use of his own non public personal credit information. These financial institutions did not allow the consumer to remove his non public personal information in which the consumer never gave consent to. The consumer has the right to his non public personal information kept private and these credit agencies violated my privacy rights.

Company: BARCLAYS BANK DELAWARE (NJ)

This is not a duplicate complaint! Barclays will not respond to my calls or emails regarding the handling of my dispute. I previously filed a case with CFPB. The response from Barclays included the response from the merchant regarding the dispute. The documents supplied by the merchant do not belong to me! Their response is fraudulent. Barclays denied my dispute based on fraudulent documents. Also, Barclays claims that I have not provided proof that the merchant was refunded in full by the airline. That is completely false. I emailed documents to Barclays on XX/XX/XXXX that included a response by XXXX XXXX to the US DOT complaint that I filed. Attached to the response were copies of the original credit card transactions made to purchase the tickets and copies of the refund transactions to the merchant 's credit card. The merchant ( travel agent ) was fully refunded by XXXX on XX/XX/XXXX. I have brought these inconsistencies to the attention of Barclays, but nobody will respond to my email messages. In addition, the phone number supplied to me goes straight to a voicemail. I did leave a voicemail with a specific message and call back number, but nobody has called back. It seems they just want to ignore the problem.

Received countless pre approved emails from credit karma for numerous different credit products. I have been trying to repair my credit for the past 5 years and was doing pretty good until I started falling for this scam. My score dropped so much that I have just given up trying to repair it because after trying to acquire the better products and failing. I figured out that I can't even get approved for some secured cards that credit karma said I was pre approved for. I threw away all the years of progress that I had made, by believing that credit karma had my best interest in mind, my life is once again at a stand still with my terrible credit.
