CFPB XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX, XXXX  XXXX Subject : Dispute and Request for Removal of Unauthorized Hard Inquiry from Credit Report Dear CFPB, I am writing to formally dispute and request the removal of a hard inquiry that appears on my credit report. After reviewing my credit report, I noticed inquiries listed under my name that I did not authorize or initiate. These inquiries are impacting my credit score negatively until today. I was a victim of the XXXX data breach. I want these items deleted immediately from my credit reports. As you can see the from the notice/claim number from XXXX ( XXXX ), I was a victim and my information was sold and bought, and used without my consumer consent. I do not recognize these hard inquiry accounts and believe these were made without proper authorization. I am attaching the proof that XXXX has admitted that I was one of the victims in the data breach and XXXX has done nothing to fix this issue on my credit report. 
Details of the unauthorized inquiry are as follows : Name of XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX

Product: Debt collection — Auto debt
Issue: Attempts to collect debt not owed — Debt was result of identity theft
Company: EQUIFAX, INC. (GA)

Equifax is a XXXX organization that nourishes off destitute XXXX American consumers. NO! XXXX Lives do not matter to them when they are complicit with collection agencies to deceive consumers. In particular, XXXX American consumers. I have begged them to remove XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX and XXXX XXXX XXXX from my credit file. I have told Equifax for years that these two tradelines are one of the same and fraudulent. The auto dealership owner has been put in jail, and the city of XXXX, Georgia, has closed the business due to severe criminal activity. Equifax is very aware of this dealership. Yet, they have made a reckless decision to put profit over the welfare of me, the innocent consumer. Somebody stole my identity and fraudulently used it, and Equifax, this XXXX and corrupted organization, stubbornly refuse to make the appropriate gesture in good faith by removing those fraudulent items. When will Equifax be punished for their corrupt commotions? I went through the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau to prove my case, and Equifax still refuses to remove these fraudulent tradelines. It is regrettable!

Issue: Incorrect information on your report — Public record information inaccurate
Company: Experian Information Solutions Inc. (MN)

I sent a dispute letter on XX/XX/XXXX through Certified Mail to XXXX  requesting a reinvestigation and the Method of Verification for an account on my credit profile through XXXX. Per the FCRA 623 ( a ) ( 5 ) : If the Credit Bureau can not VALIDATE the information with the original creditor, they must remove said information from the consumer credit file. I have attached copies of the letter from the US Bankruptcy Court stating they dont report to the credit bureaus. I have also attached a copy of my letter from XXXX saying my credit profile is frozen. How is the credit bureau verifying this alleged public record when the third party provider is frozen? Per the Federal Law, you have exactly 30 days to complete the investigation as outlined per the Fair Credit Reporting Act 623 ( a ) ( 3 ). XXXX  has been non-compliant and didnt complete the dispute in 30 days. I further remind XXXX, as in XXXX XXXX XXXX  XXXX, XXXX. XXXX ( C.D. XXXX. XXXX, XXXX ), you may be liable for your willful non- compliance. The account in question needs to be removed immediately for violations against the Fair Credit Reporting Act, no validation in the 30 day time period, no validation with the third party provider of the data. The public record is non compliant, inaccurate, and unverifiable.

Product: Credit card or prepaid card — General-purpose prepaid card
Issue: Problem with a purchase or transfer — Card company isn't resolving a dispute about a purchase or transfer
Company: Payfare International Inc. (NC)

I am a consumer holder of a Payfare prepaid card. This card is used by gig workers who work for XXXX, XXXX or XXXX to receive their pay. On XX/XX/2022 at XXXX I received a text notification that my account had been breached and I called to report the fraud immediately and freeze the account. While on the phone with Payfare I watched in horror as my account was drained by unauthorized activity. Payfare will not help and said there is no way to file a dispute or a claim for these unauthorized charges. They said it's in their terms of service they are not liable for any fraudulent activity but that is not what my terms of service says. They just read from a script and hang up. The next day, on XX/XX/XXXX at XXXX they allowed MORE fraudulent activity to happen on this account after they assured me the account was closed. They allowed it to go into the negative and continue to be scammed of {$1300.00} even after I had reported the fraud the day before. 

I have done a lot of research the past few days and have discovered there are hundreds, if not thousands of consumer holders of the same Payfare card who have suffered the same fate with zero liability or recourse. Payfare is in violation of the Electronic Fund Transfer Act and several other consumer protections in place to protect consumers from this type of fraud. 

In almost all cases, like mine, the card is secure in my wallet and I have never used the card online this is a breach with Payfare and they will not take responsibility or abide by the law in allowing consumers to dispute fraudulent charges in any way. The calls are forwarded overseas where representatives just read from a script that we have no rights or recourse for this fraud and then they hang up. I have recorded phone calls and all documentation. There are so many victims this really needs to be investigated by someone or an agency who can advocate for our rights. Please help? Thank you

A XXXX XXXX called my children with the same threats to get them to pay to keep me from going to trial.

Then there is another caller that do not give a name that calls three or four times with a recording that advise if you are not the person press 1, that did not stoop the calls then I pressed 0 to get the operator but no one came on the line. nothing that I press stops these calls. Nothing stops these calls from these people.

GENDER DISCRIMINATION - I used a kiosk at XXXX XXXX in XXXX, MA for a third party credit card company " Synchrony Financial '' that XXXX uses to offer their customers zero finance credit cards for one year. - This is a gender discrimination complaint. After answering all the questions, they prompt you to estimate the total cost of purchases you wish to make. I keyed in $ XXXX. They returned with a $ XXXX credit card that was activated. At my request, a XXXX employee contacted Synchrony Financial to review my application and reconsider my full requested amount. They declined to change. I spoke with XXXX Sales Manager XXXX XXXX and expressed my concern of gender bias. I cancelled half my furniture order and gave XXXX a personal check for the balance of the order. While I was waiting for my paperwork I sat next to the kiosk. While I was there another woman applied at the kiosk and was declined for the amount she wanted. The employee in the XXXX credit department asked her if she had a husband, and if so, he could apply at the kiosk and then XXXX could request their credit card approval amounts could be blended onto XXXX card. Understand that my NET income a month is $ XXXX. If I paid minimum monthly payments - after bills are paid, my monthly discretionary income is $ XXXX. I had to wait three days to cancel the credit card ( automatically issued ). Cancelled on XXXX/XXXX/XXXX with specific instruction to state " closed at customer 's request '' - when the information is released to the credit bureaus. I was assured this would happen, and informed them I would follow up with the credit bureaus at a later date to confirm this was in fact done.
