Consumer complaint received 03/18/2016 about Credit reporting () with EQUIFAX, INC. (FL).
Issue: Incorrect information on credit report
Sub-issue: Information is not mine

Complaint: In XXXX XXXX, I was notified by XXXX that they were canceling my long-term credit relationship because of information contained in my credit bureau file. After having a long history of good credit, this concerned me enough to have my credit report pulled by all three agencies. XXXX was the only bureau that was accurate. Equifax and XXXX both recently reported a collection item from XXXX XXXX XXXX ( creditor was XXXX XXXX ). Since I have never had an account with XXXX, I tried to get resolve it via phone conversations. I was bounced between the Collection agency and the creditor with no resolution. I then wrote letters to both credit bureaus via Certified Letter. I got a letter back from Equifax ( Confirmation # XXXX ) saying, " We have verified that this item belongs to you. '' I was finally connected by XXXX XXXX XXXX, Executive Customer Relations, XXXX, Northeast Division. XXXX XXXX asked for my social security number and agreed it did not match the account. However, he said he " reached out to my identify theft department ; while our skip tracing does place you at the account, this may be a case of identify theft. '' Apparently the cable account was established at an address I had previously lived at with my ex-wife XX/XX/XXXX and XX/XX/XXXX. I moved out in XX/XX/XXXX and moved to XXXX XXXX XXXX, XXXX ( later changed to XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX 's XXXX system ). I strongly believe the XXXX credit bureaus started blending my file at that point because the XXXX XXXX address plus new addresses I have never established nor lived at started appearing on my credit reports. FACTS : 1 ) I have NEVER had an account with XXXX ... at any location! 2 ) I have not lived at XXXX XXXX XXXX, XXXX since XX/XX/XXXX and this account was apparently established way after that time period. XXXX ) I have never established nor lived at any address in XXXX after XX/XX/XXXX other than XXXX XXXX XXXX, XXXX. From there, in XX/XX/XXXX, I moved with my wife to XXXX, XXXX. In the meantime, XXXX, doing their due diligence, did another investigation and finally recently deleted that collection item from their report. I encourage you to contact them to see what their decision was base on so that this issue can be resolved without proceeding to my next step ( contacting my Congressional Representative and Legal Counsel. ) After months of back and forth discussions/letters between me, the collection agency, the creditor and Equifax , I have NO idea how they can legally tie this account to me when I did not live at the address the account was established under, the social security number established with this account is not mine. They gave me no information on what they believes ties me to this account. I can, however, provide proof to a lawyer, if need be, that this account IS NOT MINE.

Issue: Deposits and withdrawals

Consumer complaint received 11-01-2017 about Credit reporting, credit repair services, or other personal consumer reports (Credit reporting) with Experian Information Solutions Inc. (AR).
Issue: Incorrect information on your report
Sub-issue: Account information incorrect

Complaint: On XXXX XXXX, XXXX, I filed for XXXX XXXX bankruptcy protection in the state of Kansas ( XXXX ).

While in negotiations, Navient advised me not to make any payments till we find out exactly what has taken place.

When I contacted XXXX, they do not want to release any of my information to me and i was told it was an internal mistake and that they will not provide any documents. XXXX said they can only provide the documents to Navient. Navient is telling me they do not have any direct way to get the documents to help us.
