Consumer complaint received 2024-10-23 00:00:00
Product: Credit reporting or other personal consumer reports — Credit reporting
Issue: Incorrect information on your report — Information belongs to someone else
Company: EQUIFAX, INC.
State: WI

Complaint narrative:
The Fair Credit Reporting Act ( 15 U.S. Code 1681 ) says ( 1 ) The banking system is dependent upon fair and accurate credit reporting. Inaccurate credit reports directly impair the efficiency of the banking system, and unfair credit reporting methods undermine the public confidence which is essential to the continued functioning of the banking system.

So whenever there is a violation under the FCRA, it impairs the efficiency of the banking system. This is a violation of my privacy with my consumer report, since I control what is listed and what is not. In the event that any accounts are reported without my written consent, that is considered identity theft.

This is a violation of both 15 U.S. Code 1681b ( 2 ) and 15 U.S. Code 1681c-2. This leads way to civil liability against the credit reporting agency for negligent and willful noncompliance under 15 U.S. Code 1681n, which allows for {$1000.00} per violation, for account listed without my expressed written consent.

Company response to consumer: Closed with non-monetary relief

Issue: Attempts to collect debt not owed — Debt was result of identity theft
Company: Experian Information Solutions Inc.
State: GA

Complaint narrative:
I am filing this complaint regarding the fraudulent reporting of a debt by XXXX XXXX XXXX for an alleged account with XXXX XXXX XXXX I have never entered into any business with XXXX, nor signed a contract authorizing this debt. I strongly suspect that my personal information was compromised during the XXXX data breach, which has led to this unauthorized activity. 

Under the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ), 15 U.S.C. 1681b, my credit information can only be accessed or reported with a permissible purpose, which is clearly absent in this situation. This unauthorized debt reporting is a direct violation of my rights under the FCRA. Furthermore, under the Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act ( GLBA ), financial institutions have a duty to protect consumer data. Given the XXXX data breach, it is clear that this duty was breached, resulting in misuse of my personal information. 

XXXX XXXX XXXX is also in violation of the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act ( FDCPA ), 15 U.S.C. 1692e, as they are fraudulently misrepresenting a debt I do not owe. This is not only a violation of federal law but is also fraudulent activity, for which I demand immediate correction.

Additionally, under the Fair Credit Billing Act ( FCBA ), 15 U.S.C. 1666, I have the right to dispute unauthorized and inaccurate billing practices. No legitimate business transaction, contract, or agreement exists between me, XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX making this collection unlawful and fraudulent. 

I am demanding that the CFPB immediately investigate this matter and force the removal of this fraudulent collection from my credit report. This is an egregious violation of my rights as a consumer, resulting from inadequate data protection during the XXXX breach. The companies involved must be held accountable, and this fraudulent activity must be stopped to protect me and other consumers.

Company: SECURITY FINANCE CORP
State: LA

Complaint narrative:
On XX/XX/year> I went into Security Finance at XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX, XXXX XXXX, LA and applied for an installment loan. After the approval process, I went to sign the contract via an electric device. The associate read over the various items of the contract and handed me the device when it was time for me to initial the specific line item. However, when the associate explained add-on insurances and services, she did not have me initial those specific agreements. The associate electronically initialed those agreements on my behalf without my permission. She also did not disclose that these items were optional. I did not agree to have these items added on : Single Life Insurance, Accidental and Health Insurance, Property Insurance and Involuntary Unemployment Insurance. Security Finance of Louisiana performed multiple consumer rights violations against me. Because of this, the contract associated with Account # XXXX is null and void due to multiple breaches of contract. I first contacted Security Finance about this issue on XX/XX/year> when I was looking through the contract for information related to my due date and interest rate. Once I noticed the optional add-ons that were added without my consent I contacted the local office that I took the loan out with. The representative told me that I did agree to these add-ons and she will have them removed. 

These add-ons were not removed, so I filed a complaint with CFPB. The company can simple review their cameras to verify my claims. I also have notarized statements from XXXX other customers of Security Finance that attest to this same situation happening to them. Security Finance has some very deceitful practices and I no longer wish to do business with this company. This company has breached the contract that I signed with them by way of Unauthorized Contract Modification and Failure to Disclose Optional Products. My consumer rights were severely violated and I will see to this not happening to anybody else!

Company: Experian Information Solutions Inc.
State: NC

Complaint narrative:
I previously sent a letter to address the errors and unknown items on my credit report, but unfortunately, I have not received a response even after 30 days. It seems like my disputes are being overlooked and I feel taken advantage of. As per Section 611 ( a ), if these items are not investigated within 30 days, they should be promptly removed from my credit report. Since the deadline has passed, I expect these accounts to be updated without delay. If not, I may have to take legal action due to the stress this situation has caused me. Moreover, my information was impacted by the XXXX, Experian, and XXXX data breach, which raises concerns about the security of my personal data.
