I have been going through troubling times. I haven't been able to receive any financial help through my credit due to false information reporting on my credit. My Credit has several Inquiries reporting that I have no knowledge of. Every time I explain my situation to the Credit Bureau 's and explain that I have no knowledge of these accounts they say they will fix it but nothing has changed. I am trying to get approved for an apartment so I can get MY kids and myself into a better living condition but this is the only thing that detriments me from getting approved.

Issue: Problem with a credit reporting company's investigation into an existing problem — Their investigation did not fix an error on your report
Company: ERC (FL)

For months this company has been reporting inaccurate, unverifiable erroneous things on my credit report and ruining my credit score and I am sick of it. This company has ruined my credit score so bad I got denied a loan for my house!! Now I can not provide for my family because of these derogatory marks. These medical bills and other derogatory collection accounts listed on my credit report, are incorrect and NOT mine. Simply verifying that someone used my name, social security number and/or address is insufficient to confirm that I am the person in question and owe this debt. 
The court has ruled that in Hinkle v. Midland Credit Management , Inc., that during a dispute and subsequent investigation with the original creditor, collector or a credit bureau, that the original creditor or collector, must provide account-level documentation that would hold up when presented to a jury. That means an original contract or similar proof. To this end, I am demanding an itemized bill to be sent to me! 

The account information that this company is providing can not be proven because they do not have the original signed document saying that I owe them a debt which is A direct violation of my CIVIL RIGHTS according to the FCRA section 609. This company must remove their account from my credit reports immediately and permanently. A DELETION OF THIS ACCOUNT FROM MY CREDIT REPORT IS A FAIR RESOLUTION. Please be advised I have requested validation { not verification } of an item reported to you by the above original creditor/collection agency. I have received a response that does not indicate or prove : 1. I had this service. 
2. What services I am being charged for. 
3. What the cost of each service I am being charged for. 

A response with a bill is NOT evidence of proof that the debt is mine. Anyone can open an account under my name for which a bill is produced, but that doesn't mean it was actually me or that the debt is actually mine. I need real evidence. This evidence consists of a contract from the original creditor or some agreement bearing MY written signature agreeing to pay the debt. In the absence of this evidence I ask you to please remove this account from my credit report. 

I will proceed with legal action as prescribed by law against the above-named original creditor/collection agency. Should this item not be deleted within the required time allowed by law I will seek every legal remedy available to me and file suit against the credit bureau responsible for reporting this violation. 

I urge you to take this extremely seriously as I have documented my case without error. I encourage a response from you expeditiously. 


A DELETION OF THIS ACCOUNT FROM MY CREDIT REPORT IS A FAIR RESOLUTION.

Company: EQUIFAX, INC. (TX)

According to the fair credit reporting act 15 USC 1681 section 602 states that there is a need to ensure that consumer reporting agencies exercise their grave responsibilities with fairness, partiality, and a respect for the consumers right to privacy. Equifax and XXXX are consumer reporting agencies and I am the Consumer. I have the right to make sure my private information isnt shared, which is backed by 15 USC 6801 which states, Its the policy of the Congress that each financial institution has an affirmative and continuing obligation to respect the privacy of its consumers, and to protect the security and confidentiality of those customers non-public personal information. These companies that are listed in the attachments on my report are financial institutions by definition under that title. 15 USC 1681 section 604a section 2 states that In general subject to subsection c, any customer reporting agency may furnish a customer report under the following circumstances and no other : in accordance with the written instructions of the consumer to whom it relates. The financial institutions that are attached and the consumer, reporting agencies, Equifax, XXXX, XXXX, do not have my consent to furnish this information, and they surely dont have my written consent. Any and all consent to Equifax, XXXX, XXXX whether it be verbal, nonverbal, written, implied or otherwise is revoked. 15 USC 6802 ( b ) ( c ) states that A financial institution may not disclose non-public personal information to a non-affiliated third party unless- the consumer is given an explanation of how the consumer can exercise the nondisclosure option. None of these companies ever informed me of my right to exercise my nondisclosure option. 15 USC 1681C ( a ) ( 5 ) states that Except as authorized under subsection ( b ), no consumer reporting agency may make any consumer report containing any of the following items of information, any other adverse items of information, other than records of convictions of crimes, which antedates the report by more than seven years. These accounts are adverse items they are reporting without my permission which is against the law. 15 USC 1681s-2 ( a ) ( 1 ) states A person shall not furnish any information relating to a consumer to any consumer reporting agency if the person knows or has reasonable cause to believe that the information is inaccurate. 15 USC 1681c states Every consumer reporting agency shall maintain reasonable procedures designed to avoid violations of section 1681c of this title, and to limit the furnishing of consumer reports to the purposes listed under section 1681b of this title. Equifax, XXXX, XXXX are not maintaining reasonable procedures. Also, 12 CFR 1016.7 states that A consumer may exercise the right to opt out at any time. I am opting out of your reporting services.

Company: Santander Consumer USA Holdings Inc. (MI)

The issue is with Santander Consumer auto loan. I purchased a vehicle on XX/XX/XXXX and the finances amount is {$16000.00}. A few days later I sent a payoff cashiers check ( with vehicle information, year, model, make, VIN ) to Santander Consumer USA. After that, 3 days later I called to see if there was anything else owed on the vehicle and to make sure everything went through smoothly. Representative told me that my account is still processing but I shouldnt worry about anything since I had the VIN on the cashiers check, it would be applied automatically as soon as my account was created. Santander took over two weeks to create my account during which they were charging me interest daily. I could not pay off the loan even though I tried. Now they put additional {$200.00} worth of interest even though I tried to pay off my loan just a few days after it was created. Daily interest generated is {$5.00}. They charging me for 37 days worth of interest even though I tried to pay off the loan not even a week after it was created.

Company: EQUIFAX, INC. (FL)

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.
