Product: Credit reporting, credit repair services, or other personal consumer reports — Credit reporting
Issue: Problem with a credit reporting company's investigation into an existing problem — Investigation took more than 30 days
Company: EQUIFAX, INC.

Complaint:
A debt collection company, XXXX XXXX XXXX failed to validate information that they have placed on my credit report in XXXX of XXXX. The original amount that is in question was {$5200.00}, As of XX/XX/XXXX the amount is now {$6100.00}. On two separate occasions I sent XXXX XXXX XXXX a certified letter asking them to please verify that I owe them this debt, and to provide documentation with my signature showing that I was in agreement with XXXX XXXX XXXX to pay this amount. The first letter was sent on XX/XX/XXXX certified by the USPS. After not receiving a response within 30 days, I then sent another certified letter by the USPS on XX/XX/XXXX asking them once again to validate the information that they have placed on my credit report. As of today, I have not had any response from XXXX XXXX XXXX, but they continue to increase the amount owed on my credit report monthly. 

My rights are being violated. I am a single mother of XXXX and a XXXX student. Due to this increasing amount on my credit report, I am being denied a loan for a home. I am unable to even qualify for an apartment in a safe neighborhood for my family. I just really would like some help getting this matter resolved. I know if they are doing this to me, they are doing it to other people too.

Company: Harris & Harris, Ltd.

Complaint:
Re : XXXX Bill # XXXX I have submitted a certified letter and other letters to Harris & Harris over the last 4-6 months asking them for validation of this debt. I asked them to please provide the name, address, and telephone number of every person who personally verified this alleged account, so that I can inquire about how they verified it without providing any proof, bearing my signature. This creditor failed to provide any documentation. The only information they sent was to my XXXX  credit report with my name, their information, the account number and the amount owed. 

Moreover, this fraud utility account is reporting inaccurate information on my XXXX  credit report. This false debt is hurting me and my family in this pandemic. Because Im trying to refinance my mortgage and they the mortgage company wants to know what is this collection on my credit report. I want someone to send me the contract i signed with you consenting to doing business with you? If there is No contract how can I have a debt with you.Delete this off my report within 30 days per the FCRA

Company: TRUIST FINANCIAL CORPORATION

Complaint:
On XX/XX/2021 I contacted Regional Acceptance about a charge off on my account. I co-signed for my daughter which resulted in a repossession. I spoke with XXXX at Regional acceptance on the above date. XXXX stated the debt was in collections and she ( XXXX ) could not speak further with me. I was advised by XXXX to call XXXXXX/XX/XXXX. I called XXXXXX/XX/XXXXand was told the debt was over XXXX. I spoke with XXXX XXXX who agreed to a settlement on the account in the amount of XXXX dollars. I was instructed to pay this amount on or before XX/XX/2021. I paid the amount on XX/XX/2021. I received a letter in the mail dated XX/XX/2021 from Regional Acceptance stating they violated Connecticut statute by not providing the accurate amount minus GAP insurance of XXXX dollars and would be credited this amount to the outstanding balance. 
I reached out to XXXX and spoke with her regarding the account. I inquired how could she credit something to a closed account? I was told they could and they did! 
Regional acceptance will not take any further calls from me regarding these monies. I inquired about the amount on my credit report which was in error, and the amount sent to XXXX was in error, therefore the info was not accurate.

Complaint:
I hope this note finds you well. I'm reaching out because I've noticed something weird with my credit report. For my account : Account Name : XXXX  XXXX XXXX Account Number : XXXX  It's showing that I've had five late payments. But here 's the thing, I've never been late on my payments for this account.

Consumer Reporting Agencies are pretty important, right? I mean, you guys need to be on the ball with accuracy. This is why I'm reaching out to you directly - to clear this up. 

I'd be really grateful if you could check into this for me. Could you send me copies of the statements where it shows these late payments? If it turns out there's no proof of my payments being late, then it's only fair that these be updated to show that I've paid on time - because I did. 

I know mistakes can happen, but this mix-up with my payment history on this account isn't accurate. So, could you please help me out here and sort this out ASAP? 

Thanks a bunch for looking into this. I'm looking forward to getting my credit report fixed up right.

Company: PENTAGON FEDERAL CREDIT UNION

Complaint:
I opened an account with Pentagon Federal Credit Union on XX/XX/22. Prior to opening this online account, I submitted all of the requested information to verify my identity and establish worthiness of being issued an account. 

Since opening the account I have made a total or XXXX accounts ( unable to access account for reasons to be disclosed later ). On XX/XX/22, I made a mobile deposit of a check written from a reputable business/ my Attorney 's office and received the usual notification that there may be a usual and customary delay before gaining access to the funds. After that deposit, I attempted to take care of monthly financial obligations for which the account already had funds available. On XX/XX/22 I received notification from my mortgage company that there was an issue with my XXXX monthly payment. When I logged onto the mortgage company website for further details I was then informed that my account was blocked. 

Supposedly my account was blocked by PenFed on XX/XX/22 yet this institution has made no attempt to notify me. They have my phone number, email address as well as mailing address yet my first notification that there was an issue with my account came from my mortgage company. This is yet another example of the incompetency and discriminatory behavior of this company and its employees. 

I attempted to access my PenFed account and received a pop-up message that my account was blocked and contact information was provided for additional information. I contacted the phone number provided and was told that there was suspected fraudulent activity on my account ( what exact fraudulent activity is unknown to me and PenFed refusing to elaborate any further ) and as a result my account is blocked. I am now required to submit additional documentation to verify my identity ( once again for reasons undisclosed to me ) and I am not only denied access to the funds that were already available in my account but also the funds for the recent mobile check deposit. This has resulted in all of my funds for paying monthly financial obligations frozen with an unknown release date. In all of my years of dealing with the banking industry, I have never had an entire account frozen due to a mobile check deposit. At the very most, access to the funds related to the mobile deposit in question would be delayed by XXXX weeks at the most. I am unfairly being discriminated against due to reasons undisclosed. This has created an unforeseen financial hardship for my family in addition to unnecessary stress and in adverse effects on my health.

I am writing to bring to your attention that my credit file contains a collection entry from your agency. However, I have never received any prior notification regarding this collection. Furthermore, I strongly believe that the debt being claimed is not accurate. According to the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act, I am entitled to request and receive validation of the debt. Therefore, I kindly request that you provide me with the necessary validation and take appropriate action to rectify this matter.

Company: PORTFOLIO RECOVERY ASSOCIATES INC

Complaint:
To whom it my concern, Several months ago I pulled my credit report from all three major bureaus. There were several items being reported that I did not recognize. I disputed these items with the 3 bureaus and several of them were deleted. 2 accounts were not deleted, however. Portfolio Recovery Associates, LLC ( PRA ) Is reporting 2 accounts that I don't recognize. I disputed the accounts with the 3 bureaus and directly with PRA. I had never received ANY communication with PRA concerning these 2 accounts until AFTER I initiated the dispute process. Once I began the dispute process PRA sent a printout of an old statement from both accounts. The copies of the original statements showed that they were originally addressed to 2 different addresses, both of which belonged to my father. My father and I share the same name with no differentiating title, i.e. junior, senior, etc. I sent a letter to the 3 bureaus and PRA requesting more information/proof that the accounts were mine. I have received no such proof from either PRA or the 3 credit bureaus. I keep receiving the same form letter from PRA that lists name, account number, date account was opened, balance, etc. The ONLY original information I have ever received is one copy of a credit card statement from both accounts which both list addresses that belonged to my father. I believe that PRA and the three credit reporting bureaus have NOT performed a proper investigation, even after being requested to do so, and continue to use the XXXX system in order to " validate '' the accounts. I simply want proof that these 2 accounts are mine and not my fathers and to have these 2 accounts DELETED from my credit profile if proof can not be produced.

Thank You

Company: Phoenix Financial Services LLC

Complaint:
To Whom this may concern, While reviewing my credit report on XX/XX/2020, I noticed an incorrect and fraudulent collection account from Phoenix Financial. I reached out to this institution via phone # XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX twice on XX/XX/2020. The original rep I spoke with was combative, used vulgarity and refused to disclose my account # which resulted to him hanging up in my face. In addition, Rep violated HIPPA by disclosing sensitive information prior to authenticating account fully! I called back a second time and spoke with Supervisor XXXX XXXX and was able to obtain account number. I advised her I do not have an account with Phoenix Financial and do not agree to debt. I advised I have no knowledge of this account nor have I done any business with this company. I explained that I do not have a signed and dated agreement from Phoenix Financial. I  am requesting you to provide validation for this debt. In addition, under the FDCPA, you are also to cease and desist from contacting me regarding this matter unless it is by the United States Mail. This Agency has called my phone numerous times harassing me for an account that I do not owe. I advised supervisor I do not agree to debt and will be filing a complaint due to harassment and the lack of professionalism.

Complaint:
I was made aware of some accounts reflecting negatively on my credit report today XX/XX/20 because I got my credit ran to see if I qualified for a home loan. I had no idea there were accounts in negative standing on my credit because none of those accounts belong to me. I did not open any of those accounts nor did I give anyone permission to open those accounts on my behalf. I did not benefit anything from any of those accounts nor did I ever make any payments towards any of those accounts. I do not have any written or verbal contract with any of those companies nor am I affiliated to them in any way. I have already filed a police report as well as a complaint with the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau regarding these suspicious accounts.
