Company: EQUIFAX, INC. (UT)

US Dept of Ed/XXXX - XXXX is reporting erroneously on my credit file. I filed for Bankruptcy in XX/XX/2019 and it was dismissed in XX/XX/2019. My account with them was included in that Bankruptcy. I recently checked my credit file and noticed that my account was still currently updating and that is a violation of the Bankruptcy stay. I have been working hard at improving my credit and this item updating is keeping my scores low. I need the US Dept of ED to fix/remove this account on my credit file. It is against the Bankruptcy stay for them to update.

Issue: Improper use of your report — Credit inquiries on your report that you don't recognize
Company: CORELOGIC INC (NY)

I received a copy of my credit report and I noticed a credit inquiry on my credit report by Credco. I wrote to the company telling them that I had not authorized any inquiries with their company and that they should please validate this inquiry by sending me the completed credit application with my signature on it. If they were not able to validate this inquiry, as per Fair Trading Reporting Act, they should remove it. They then informed me that that they could not find an application for me and that they wanted me to validate the inquiry for them. So far they have not sent me this credit application and they have not removed the inquiry form my report. Instead they are asking me to validate the inquiry by sending them a copy of my credit report, even though the letter that I sent them already had my credit report included in it along with my date of birth and social security number.

I have outstanding medical insurance under my husband 's policy through XXXX, I have no copay, and my XXXX pays for any coinsurance that may be outstanding. With that being said, I owe no debts to anyone, I made certain of this by visiting the billing department at XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX in person prior to my XXXX and making certain that any old debts were paid. I did this because my employer offered no XXXX XXXX XXXX or XXXX leave and would essentially have to let me go once it was time for me to XXXX XXXX in XXXX of 2017. One would understand how I then find it difficult to comprehend why I have an outstanding bill for XXXX XXXX XXXX. Firstly, my name is XXXX XXXX XXXX, my middle name has never been " XXXX '' ... that is a candy bar. Secondly, if this debt was valid and they processed it correctly through XXXX, they should have been paid in full right? Well, to my surprise, I have received a bill from a collection agency for {$300.00} that is apparently owed to XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX. I have several problems with this recent turn of events, first, I repeatedly asked the representative at XXXX XXXX if the bills proposed to me were complete when I paid them, and she confirmed that they were, I do not have another {$300.00} to give to anyone as I am XXXX. Second, I do not take lightly my private and proprietary data being sold to third-party organizations that I have no contractual obligation to. Who are they to share the very same information that they are supposed to protect under HIPAA law? Third, I made XXXX XXXX well aware of my financial hardship, and they have made no attempt to adhere to the Healthcare Financial Assistance Law ( HFAL ). I have been offered no assistance nor have I been given an opportunity to negotiate my outstanding debt.

Issue: Problems at the end of the loan or lease — Problem with paying off the loan
Company: BBVA FINANCIAL CORPORATION (NV)

On XX/XX/2021 I purchased a vehicle which was then financed through BBVA USA. I decided on XX/XX/2021 that I wanted to refinance this vehicle with a local credit union. The credit union needed my payoff information, such as account number, a 10-day payoff, address to send payoff, etc. When I called over to BBVA and answered numerous security questions, including : SSN, phone number, loan information, vehicle details, personal details, etc. they told me that the loan was too new and that they could not provide me with the payoff information. I tried to inquire as to how I would make payments without knowing my account number and they said that I would get statements, but that the account number would be truncated. I explained that I wanted to pay this loan off in full and wanted details for payoff. They would not provide this information. The banker assisting me with the refinance also helped. He was asking how I could get this information and they wanted me to send a copy of my social security card to BBVA. The banker at the credit union advised me that this was not safe and that he would not advise doing that. BBVA would not assist me in providing information for paying off my loan, which feels extremely deceptive as a consumer as I feel stuck paying an interest rate that is much higher than what I would be paying if I was able to refinance.

My credit score has been very negatively affected because someone fraudulently used my name, ss number and date of birth but a different mailing address to purchase a {$40000.00} loan for a XXXX through XXXX XXXX XXXX. I first noticed this in XXXX through credit monitoring that multiple inquiries had been made on my credit and a {$40000.00} vehicle loan had been taken in my name through XXXX XXXX XXXX on or around XX/XX/XXXX. The first payment had been made for the vehicle but none thereafter. I contacted XXXX XXXX XXXX on XX/XX/XXXX and they emailed me a letter identifying that they were doing an investigation into the situation. I filed disputes with all 3 credit bureaus explaining the situation. I received a reply from XXXX  at the end of XXXX indicating that the claims on my credit report would stay because XXXX XXXX XXXX told XXXX that they determined it was not fraud. I then received a call from XXXX stating the same, that they had closed the case because they determined it wasnt fraud. When I pressed them to explain what research they had done and how they came to determine it wasnt fraud, they refused to provide me any information. I was told by them, however, that I could email someone at XXXX XXXX XXXX by the name of XXXX XXXX with additional documents requested by them and request to reopen the case. I complied with this request and emailed Ms. XXXX on XX/XX/XXXX with said documents and have never received a response. They would not give me her phone number. I have yet to receive a response regarding the dispute from the 2 remaining credit bureaus, but nothing has been removed from my credit reports and the person who fraudulently purchased the car in my name has not made a payment since XXXX of this year. 
I dont know what else to do to resolve this matter and it is destroying my credit that I have worked so hard to maintain in good standing. XXXX XXXX XXXX clearly do not care about my circumstances as they obviously did very little ( if anything ) to investigate and resolve this situation of identity fraud.
