Product: Credit reporting or other personal consumer reports — Credit reporting
Issue: Improper use of your report — Reporting company used your report improperly
Company: EQUIFAX, INC.
State: MD

Complaint narrative:
Upon reviewing my credit report, I discovered several accounts that I do not recognize and believe to be fraudulent. These accounts appear to be opened without my authorization, and I am deeply concerned about the potential impact on my credit standing and financial well-being. I suspect that I am a victim of identity theft, as I have not initiated or authorized the opening of these accounts. The presence of these unauthorized accounts on my credit report has caused me significant distress and uncertainty about the security of my personal information. I have attached a copy of my credit report highlighting the unrecognized accounts for your reference.

Product: Debt collection — Credit card debt
Issue: Written notification about debt — Didn't receive enough information to verify debt
Company: Resurgent Capital Services L.P.
State: GA

Complaint narrative:
On XX/XX/year>, I submitted a formal debt validation request to Resurgent Receivables LLC regarding an alleged debt of {$910.00}. Despite this request, Resurgent Receivables LLC has failed to provide any documentation validating the debt as required under the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act ( FDCPA ). 

Furthermore, Resurgent Receivables LLC is not licensed to collect debts in the state of Georgia, making their collection activities unlawful. In addition, they have reported inaccurate information on my consumer credit report, causing significant distress and potential financial harm. 

I have made multiple attempts to resolve this issue directly with Resurgent Receivables LLC, including sending a debt validation and cease and desist letter on XX/XX/year>. However, they have ignored my requests and continue to engage in illegal collection practices. 

I seek immediate cessation of all collection activities by Resurgent Receivables LLC, permanent removal of the alleged debt from my credit report, and compensation for the distress caused by their repeated violations and non-compliance.

Company: Portfolio Recovery Associates, LLC
State: MD

Complaint narrative:
This is the second complaint to the CFPB about Portfolio Recovery Associates. 

This first complaint being in XX/XX/2023. Everything about that complaint still stands. They said they would stop contacting me, they sent me a letter with settlement options. 

They have not provided a proof of purchase agreement for said debt. The validation letter that they say was documented proof, was not sufficient, because it did not contain my WET signature as proof that said debt could be sold/acquired by them. 

They also have not been removed from my credit/consumer reports and it is negatively affecting how I can move forward financially. 

My credit reports are also inaccurate, saying different things throughout and nothing is matching except that its all inaccurate. How can an account be open and closed at the same time? 

Knowing that Portfolio Recovery Associates had a lawsuit on them that they lost in 2023 ( around the same time as my first CFPB Complaint ) for the same reasons that XXXX complaining of and I did not get compensated through, is another consumer injustice from them towards me. 

Being that after many disputes and complaints the debt still can not be properly and timely verified, solidifies and proves my stand on the debt to be completely and permanently REMOVED from my accounts, reports and bureaus. 

Included with this complaint is a screenshot of some of the inaccuracies and a picture of the settlement letter they sent after being told and notified that I would no longer be contacted.

Kia Finance- car loan on my account should be taken off. 
Bought the car in XXXX only had it for 3 weeks- got into a car accident- someone rear ended me and my car was declared total loss. For that reason I never paid any of the payments etc. My insurance failed to pay what they needed to pay for the car- that is why its under an attorney case. They are still working on resolving it. 

This account should be taken off my credit report - its not a resemblance of my financial ability because I usually pay everything on time. This is hurting me when I go buy a car or a house

Issue: Improper use of your report — Reporting company used your report improperly
Company: EQUIFAX, INC.
State: FL

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 each account listed without my expressed written consent. 

I looked at my consumer reports and noticed accounts I never gave anyone permission to report. Consumer reporting agencies have assumed a vital role and have a responsibility to report consumer information to the best of their ability with maximum possible accuracy like the Fair Credit Reporting Act clearly states. I did not provide written consent to report them. ''
