Issue: Incorrect information on your report — Information belongs to someone else
Company: EQUIFAX, INC. (NC)

Complaint:
I found out that there are 2 accounts reflecting badly on my credit report today XX/XX/19 when I was denied from opening a credit card at my bank. Neither of those accounts belongs to me nor did I authorize anyone to open those accounts using my personal information. I have no idea who could have stolen my personal information to open these accounts behind my back but I already filed a police report. I did not gain anything at all from these accounts being open in my name nor did I take part in any purchases, transactions or payments regarding these accounts.

Issue: Attempts to collect debt not owed — Debt was result of identity theft
Company: Jon Barry and Associates, Inc. (NC)

Complaint:
I received a bill from you on XX/XX/2020 and as allowed under the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act ( FDCPA ), I am requesting that you allow me to validate the alleged debt. I am aware that there is a debt from XXXX XXXX, but I am unaware of the amount due and your bill does not include a breakdown of any fees. 
Additionally, I am allowed under the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act ( HIPAA ) to protect my privacy and medical records from third parties. I do not recall giving permission to [ name of provider ] for them to release my medical information to a third party. I am aware that the HIPAA does allow for limited information about me but anything more is to only be revealed with the patients authorization. Therefore my request is twofoldvalidation of debt and HIPAA authorization. 
Please provide breakdown of fees including any collection costs and medical charges. 
Provide a copy of my signature with the provider of service to release my medical information to you. 
Cease any credit bureau reporting until the debt has been validated by me. 
Please send this information to my address listed above and accept this letter, sent certified mail, as my formal debt validation request, which I am allowed under the FDCPA. Please note that withholding the information you received from any medical provider in an attempt to be HIPAA compliant can be a violation of the FDCPA because you will be deceiving me after my written request. I request full documentation of what you received from the provider of service in connection with this alleged debt.

Additionally, any reporting of this debt to the credit bureaus prior to allowing me to validate it may be a violation of the Fair Credit Reporting Act, which can allow me to seek damages from a collection agent. I will await your reply with above requested proof. Upon receiving it, I will correspond back by certified mail. 

Sincerely, XXXX XXXX

Company: American Coradius International LLC (CA)

Complaint:
American Coradius International LLC ( ACI ) has been calling my number 3 times a day for the last 45 days ( more than ~130 calls in total ), claiming I owe XXXX XXXX , {$790.00} in debt. I have have or have had a XXXX account. 

They provided the following information : Account number : XXXX Reference number : XXXX Amount : {$790.00} After multiple attempts of me telling them to stop the harassing and repeated calls, throughout the day, they have still continued to call me and recently also sent me mail via USPS on XX/XX/2019, demanding that I pay this debt that is not mine. 

I called XXXX ( who ACI claims is the original creditor ) and they confirmed that I had no accounts, amounts owed or any form of debt with them. It appears that ACI is trying to scam me ( and others ) by creating fake debt collection requests without any authorization or demand from original creditors. 

The Debt Recovery Agency 's full name and informations is as follow and appears fictitious. Oddly, they provide two addresses for their operations which is very suspicious as well.
