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 — Their investigation did not fix an error on your report
Company: EQUIFAX, INC. (AZ)

Complaint:
I contacted Equifax by certified mail three items ( mailed : XXXX, XX/XX/XXXX, & XX/XX/XXXX received : XX/XX/XXXX, XX/XX/XXXX, & XX/XX/XXXX respectfully ) requesting an investigation into some inquires that were in dispute. I received responses claiming they were factual within days of sending these letters. In the last letter I requested a deletion unless they could provide any documentation they collected from the investigation and was provided with nothing except the same " verified as factual '' response form letter I do not believe a thorough investigation was preformed because of the quickness of their response and the complete lack of any supporting evidence. Also, I sent similar letters to XXXX and XXXX disputing the same inquires on the same date ( XXXX ) and they have yet to respond but Equifax was able to respond thrice in the same amount of time. This leads me to believe they relied on an automated system to respond to my disputes without doing any due diligence and are in fact unable to provide any verification.

Complaint:
Cease and Desist have been sent to Omega RMS. I also demand to see The Bill of Assignments and Chain of Title of all alleged debt bearing my name to validate.

Issue: Attempts to collect debt not owed — Debt was paid
Company: STERLING JEWELERS, INC. (NY)

Complaint:
In XX/XX/XXXX my credit was good, with 20+ thousand dollars I was struggling but making timely payments for a long time. Then I get this letter from XXXX   XXXX XXXX, I called their number, they tell me that they can slash the Debt in half, that they know the credit language and they they know how to talk to my creditors, they I should not fear anymore, that my credit would drop a little but that it would go back up in six months. I couldnt believe it! But what really happened was that they let all my accounts default and eventually making me lose all of my accounts that were in good standing since the beginning, they scammed me, they didnt tell me the truth. Later I was filled with collections all over the place, they advised not to talk to my creditors, after a year and a half I saw they were not getting anywhere with my debts I started making settlements with my debtors myself. At the same time I was paying XXXX XXXX XXXX to pay the people they had already settled with, at the last I was Almost finishing an account to finally graduate from the program. It was a Sterling Inc. account number : XXXX, XXXX made an agreement with the collection company by the name XXXX XXXX. The agreement was payments totaling {$1500.00}. Just as I was about to make a final payments in XXXX they drop me out of the program, I called XXXX XXXX, they tell me they have no jurisdiction over the account anymore, they gave me a number to a company by the name XXXX, I get in contact with XXXX and they tell me that the payment bounced, that thats why. But that was inconsistent because my account had sufficient funds ( {$510.00} ) they had taken the payment and put back into my account to default the settlement, they balance was {$2400.00}, when they returned the money it went back to {$2500.00}. Incidentally that was the same company that sent me letters claiming that I owe them money in the middle of XX/XX/XXXX, I found the letter suspicious, in the letter I had to dispute the Debt, I looked online how to do it and sent them a dispute letter in XX/XX/XXXX, theyve been selling this account all over the place to make me pay it, and Ive paid more than enough with all their tricks.

Company: EQUIFAX, INC. (TX)

Complaint:
A few weeks ago I sent letters to all 3 credit bureaus regarding some items on my credit report which I know are not accurate which is a violation of the FCRA and FDCPA and you must abide by the law. Everything I have provided in my letters is true and accurate to my knowledge. Ive received emails and letters saying Im using a 3rd party which is incorrect because I am the one sending my letters out and filing this complaint with no help from a credit repair company or 3rd party. The CRAs are in violation of my rights due to not providing a notice of dispute and for failure to communicate to me that I disputed stuff on my credit. I request these accounts to be deleted from my credit asap or I will take legal action and hire a lawyer. I want to purchase a house soon and this holding me back. 

I would like the items I disputed in my letters to be handled accordingly based on the reasons that I put in my letters.

Company: Experian Information Solutions Inc. (NY)

Complaint:
This is not a duplicate nor is this complaint filed by a third party. I am filing this complaint myself. Please see this complaint is processed to the letter of the law. Again, I was going through my records & noticed the fraudulent accounts which do not belong to me STILL reposting on my file in Experian. The other bureaus have already DELETED this fraudulent information so my question is why do you still report these damaging records? I have already disputed these items several times and stated that I am an identity theft victim. I even forwarded my FTC report I filed online on their website along with my personal information and documents but still, you chose to continue reporting these items. Credit Bureaus are bound to comply with the FCRA regulation section 605b but you never cared nor paid any attention to my Disputes. You became negligent of the FCRA law and continued reporting this information on my Credit File without Proper Verification or Investigation. Now, I want you to REMOVE these items from my file like the other bureaus have done.

Company: EQUIFAX, INC. (AZ)

Complaint:
On or about XX/XX/XXXX, upon checking my credit report I discovered that I had become a victim of Identity theft. I hired movers to move my belongings into my new home and upon packing realized that the file box containing all of my identifying information as well as the documents for my children had been stolen. My data was also leaked in the Equifax Security Breech as well as the XXXX XXXX data breech. I have reached out to the companies as well as credit reporting agencies who advised me that I needed to file police reports which I have done yet the fraudulent accounts are still reporting on my reports. I sent letters disputing inaccurate reporting per consumer laws, As a victim of identity theft, I understand the importance of accurate and fair credit reporting practices, as well as the protections granted to me under the FCRA. According to USC 1681b, credit reporting agencies are required to have a permissible purpose for obtaining and disclosing consumer credit information. In the case of identity theft, reporting bankruptcy information resulting from the theft violates the permissible purpose requirements. 


This has been an ongoing issue as I am continually noticing account after account showing on my credit reports. There were XXXX XXXX  filed in XXXX and XX/XX/XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX and XXXX  XXXX XXXX, multiple auto loans opened XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXXXXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX as well as multiple credit cards with XXXX XXXX XXXX which is listed as a charge off, Multiple self lender accounts XXXX XXXX XXXX  acct # XXXX, XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX # XXXX, XXXX XXXX  Acct # XXXX, XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX  acct # XXXX. These accounts among others and they have refused to take any action as it pertains to a resolution. The only action taken was adding a fraud victim alert to my profile.

I sent them a letter stating, Under 15 U.S. Code 1681c-2, if a consumer has been a victim of identity theft and provides the credit reporting agency with a valid identity theft report, the agency must block the reporting of any information that is the result of identity theft. The blocked information will not be included in the consumer 's credit report or disclosed to third parties. I submitted ID theft reports on XX/XX/XXXX as well as XX/XX/XXXX. I was sent stall letters from the bureaus stating that I may have sent the letters in error and also stall letters stating that I need to provide Identifying documentation in order for them to proceed with any action. I sent copies of my Drivers license, a piece of mail as well as a copy of my XXXX  XXXX. I have been victimized my the identity thieves as well as the credit reporting agencies at this point since they have been notified of fraudulent activity and fail to report accurate information.

Company: AMERICAN EXPRESS COMPANY (CA)

Complaint:
On XX/XX/XXXX, I contacted American Express for a travel credit that I had not received for my Platinum Credit Card. American Express would not honor the credit until I finally called them on the phone. 

While I was dealing with them, they offered me a retention bonus offer of XXXX rewards points If I spent XXXX dollars within 3 months of accepting the offer. I advised the representative that the offer was fine, but I still wanted my travel credit. This was before they had credited me for the XXXX dollars. I met the spending requirement, and reached out to American Express on XX/XX/2021 to confirm when I would receive the bonus points. The rep advised me that " I did not accept the offer ''. I advised him that that was untrue. I filed a dispute which was XXXX. On XX/XX/2021, I reached out to check on the offer, I was told that it would take 7-10 business days for a resolution. Today, XX/XX/2021, the tenth business day, I once again reached out to AMEX. After being transferred several times, I was told " The Dispute was automatically closed, due to the customer declining the offers '' I was never notified, and was never offered an explanation. 

This entire transaction is on my chat, and is saved on the Amex APP. Amex uses bait and switch tactics to lure customers into thinking they are being taken care of for poor service. I met the spending requirement, and continue to be led on. I would like to receive the XXXX rewards points that I deserve. I asked American Express to provide a pdf of the conversation, they were unable to due to " Privacy Reasons ''. 

Thank you, XXXX XXXX

Company: M&T BANK CORPORATION (DE)

Complaint:
To whom I may concern, On XXXX, I XXXX XXXX XXXX received a copy of a refund check for {$780.00} from XXXX XXXX XXXX made out to the Estate of XXXX XXXX XXXX. On the back of the refund check, XXXX XXXX endorsed the check to deposit in her personal savings account at M & T Bank. I contacted a representative of M & T Bank at XXXX, and she did not know the policy and procedures if an Estate check can be deposited.in a personal savings account. XXXX XXXX XXXX at Register of XXXX ( XXXX ) in Delaware gave explicit instructions that an estate account for the Estate of XXXX XXXX XXXX must be established at a bank with all three co-administrators must be present at the same time. All three co-administrator names must be on the estate account, so any transactions for the Estate of XXXX XXXX XXXX would require three signatures. XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX have refused since XXXX to meet with me at any bank to establish an estate account. On XXXX, XXXX XXXX and XXXX XXXX went to XXXX XXXX in XXXX, DE and liquated XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX 's personal checking and savings accounts, but did not establish an estate account. 

I am requesting M & T Bank to freeze the {$780.00} refund made out to the estate of XXXX XXXX XXXX that was deposited in XXXX XXXX 's personal savings account. M & T Bank can schedule a appointment date and time when all three co-administrators can meet at M & T Bank to establish an estate account. As an alternative, remedy, M & T can issue a check for {$780.00} for the Estate of XXXX XXXX XXXX to XXXX XXXX XXXX, XXXX XXXX XXXX, XXXX DE XXXX, M & T Bank should follow all State and Federal regulations and compliance for a estate account, since there is a great distinction between a estate account and a personal checking and savings accounts, especially when there are three co-administrators. 

If possible, I would like a copy of the policies and procedures pertaining to an estate account at M & T Bank. If there are any additional questions, please do not hesitate to call me at XXXX. Secondly, XXXX XXXX 's personal savings account number is XXXX.

Company: Kelsting Group, Inc. (CA)

Complaint:
I was sent a bill and the provider was in between XXXX accounting systems, they billed me on both for copays over a period of time, after we worked together to resolve it and I paid what I owed, they eventually sent me a bill asking for the same copays again off and on over a period of 18 months or more. I told them it was paid and showed proof several times. 

Then they billed me for office visits in the beginning of the year which went against my deductible, which under normal circumstances I would owe BUT I LOST MY JOB because the doctor inadvertently put XXXX different dates for return to work on my XXXX and work forms. When I called to verify I explained and they still gave me the wrong date, hence I lost my job! So I had to go back in for a televideo appointment to explain to her what happened so she could write a letter and I could get unemployment. Why would I pay for that??? 

On another account for my daughter they billed the wrong insurance even though I gave them the correct information each visit. She had double coverage which would have covered it except they did n't even bill me or ask for the insurance information until XXXX or more years later! Which now the insurance refused to pay because of the late filing of the claim which was their fault. The office has inadequate employees who apparently are confused. 

This office has a long history of administrative mistakes, the debt is n't mine.
