Issue: Incorrect information on your report — Personal information incorrect
Company: EQUIFAX, INC. (MN)

I sent a letter on XX/XX/2024, asking for my address to be update so i can remove other address from my credit report that is no longer associated with myself. I emailed XXXX XXXX and he responded that everything was ok and he updated my address. This morning on XX/XX/2024, i get an alert from my credit report saying i added a new address and it was not correct it was XXXX XXXX address. I emailed XXXX XXXX again and he said he updated it again. I also called in to express my issue and they said that they updated and it would take about 30 days which is unacceptable. I have a fraud alert on my credit report and this is causing me so much stress. There is a lot of fraud going on and this ran me through the roof. I also asked them for their mistake to waive the 30 day late reporting off of my credit report and still no response. This was an easy fix and now i am stressed out because i have to contact my credit bureaus to fix the problem and wait 30 days for their mistake i want something resolved about this before i take further action. This is not ok due there is a lot of fraud going on so XXXX XXXX can just update my information he needs to be removed from the company because its causing me a lot of stress trying to fix his mistake.

Issue: Disclosure verification of debt — Right to dispute notice not received
Company: National Credit Services, Inc. (NC)

I contacted this company after I was given their name to help pay back my student loan. They gave me a monthly amount of XXXX+ to pay back but I offered XXXX a month. They told me that when the loan was paid, they would report to the credit agency and it would not show as a loan collected through a debt collector. I was also told that this would prevent my tax refund being taken as well. Well my tax refund was kept and they said they did not know why that happened, maybe my name was on a list for them to be held. I said my taxes were n't held the year before so it was something they must have done such as putting my name on a list to hold my tax refund. Even though it went towards my account, I was told that because the loan would be paid off early now, I was not entitled to the benefits of having this be reported to credit agencies as paid off without debt collection. They misrepresented what they were going to do and how they were going to help me.

In accordance with the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( 15 USC 1681 Section 602 ( a ) ), it is emphasized that consumer reporting agencies, such as XXXX, XXXX, and XXXX, must carry out their responsibilities with fairness, impartiality, and a regard for the consumer 's right to privacy. As the consumer, I assert my right to ensure the non-disclosure of my private information, supported by 15 USC 6801, which articulates Congress 's policy that financial institutions must actively and continuously uphold customer privacy. Under the definition provided by this title, a " furnisher of information to credit agencies '' is considered a financial institution. Referring to 15 USC 1681 Section 604 ( a ) ( 2 ), it is stated that a consumer reporting agency may furnish a consumer report only in accordance with the written instructions of the relevant consumer. I want to make clear that neither the financial institution nor the consumer reporting agencies ( XXXX, XXXX, and XXXX ) have my consent to furnish this information, and they have never obtained my written consent through any means. Consequently, any and all consent granted to these entities is hereby revoked. Furthermore, as per 15 USC 6802 ( b ) ( c ), a financial institution is prohibited from disclosing nonpublic personal information to a nonaffiliated third party unless the consumer is informed about how to exercise the nondisclosure option. I assert that the " furnisher of information to credit agencies '' failed to inform me of my right to exercise this option. Highlighting 15 USC 1681 ( c ) ( a ) ( 5 ), it is explicitly stated that a consumer reporting agency may not include certain adverse items of information in a consumer report without authorization. The inclusion of adverse items without my permission is a violation of the law. Moreover, 15 U.S. Code 1681s2 ( A ) ( 1 ) A states that furnishing inaccurate information to a consumer reporting agency is prohibited. Equifax and XXXX are not maintaining reasonable procedures, as mandated by 15 U.S. Code 1681 ( e ), designed to avoid violations of relevant sections. Finally, in accordance with 12 CFR 1016.7, I exercise my right to opt out of your reporting services at any time.

Company: Media Collections, Inc (VT)

I received a call where I work from someone looking for the owner of the business. His name is XXXX XXXX. He indicated that he was following up on a Workers Comp. Audit. 

He asked who would be responsible for that and I gave him the name of our General XXXX. He then asked for contact information for the GM, specifically his email. Then he indicated that he wanted to speak with accounts receivables. 

At this point he did identify the company he works for, Joseph , Mann & Creed. I then asked him if he was a debt collector and he said that he was. 

According to the FTC website, debt collectors need to identify themselves as such. It seemed XXXX XXXX was intimating that he was representing Worker Comp. at first. 

When our call was concluded I called Joseph , Mann & Creed to speak with one of the partners in this firm, only to be told firmly that " they are all gone for the day '' All I wanted to do was make them aware that their employee had been somewhat deceptive.

I was in the process of applying for Insurance and it was brought to my attention that there is some inaccurate, incomplete and unverifiable information reporting on my credit report.

I received a copy of my credit report and to my surprise I saw all these inaccurate items that I have previously asked you to block.

I was a victim of Identity Theft. Per the Fair Credit Reporting Act Section 605b ( a ) ( 2 ) you are required to remove any accounts opened without my knowledge, consent, or authority.

Also in addition to Section 1681c-2 ( a ) you are required to block any information in the file that I have identified that resulted from identity theft.

I have provided documents that can prove it. By the way I hope that this does not hinder my ability to obtain Insurance due to this inaccurate information reporting.

I was advised by a legal friend of mine that under 15 US Code 1681a section 603 ( k ) ( b ) ( i ) can be considered an adverse action.

Therefore I want the following accounts to be updated to the correct amount, date, status, open and closed date, last date of activity and time.If you can not complete this request, please delete the accounts immediately.

Chase is current reporting an account on my credit report as a charged-off account. However this charge-off account is also illicitly being reporting with a past due balance, and showing that its an active account. In doing so Chase is illicitly harming my credit more than legally permissible. I have brought this issue up with Chase through the credit bureaus but to no avail.
