You have reported inaccurate and unauthorized accounts on my credit report, which is a violation of the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( 15 U.S. Code 1681i ) requiring a proper reinvestigation of disputed items, and 1681e ( b ), which mandates maximum possible accuracy. These false entries are damaging and unjust, especially since Ive never opened or authorized these accounts. If you fail to investigate and correct this, I may pursue legal action under the FCRA and FDCPA ( 15 U.S. Code 1692e ) for deceptive and misleading reporting.

I am in tears. I live in a small town and midland credit sent XXXX envelopes to my home today, both show no business on the envelope. XXXX was sealed and the other completely unsealed that had all of my debt hanging out. The mail lady and I dont know who else were able to see the contents of the envelope. Whoever saw it now knows that Im in debt and collections is after me. I left the identical envelope sealed and am securing the unsealed envelope as proof. Rumors spread so fast in a small town and I feel this was intentional and is violation of the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act.

Complaint narrative:
The reported late payment is inaccurate and unverifiable. The furnisher has failed to provide documented proof that the payment was, in fact, late. Reporting unverifiable or inaccurate information across all three credit bureaus constitutes a direct violation of the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ). This error is damaging my credit profile and is a result of negligent reporting practices. I demand immediate correction and deletion of this inaccurate late payment from all credit reports.

Issue: Incorrect information on your report — Personal information incorrect
Company: EQUIFAX, INC.
State: FL

Complaint narrative:
My credit reports are currently showing multiple inaccurate personal identifiers that do not belong to me and are materially damaging to the accuracy and integrity of my credit file. Specifically, the addresses XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX  are being reported as my previous addresses, along with the incorrect name variation XXXX XXXX XXXX. 

These identifiers are false. I have never established XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX as a valid or permanent residence, and XXXX XXXX XXXX is not an accurate reflection of my residential history. Likewise, the name XXXX XXXX XXXX is not my correct legal name and should not be associated with my file. The continued reporting of these false identifiers poses a significant risk of file mixing, where accounts belonging to another consumer may be wrongly merged into my report. It also increases my vulnerability to identity theft because the bureaus are maintaining inaccurate records of who I am and where I have lived. 

Under the Fair Credit Reporting Act, 15 USC 1681e ( b ), credit reporting agencies are legally required to follow reasonable procedures to assure maximum possible accuracy of consumer information. By allowing these false addresses and name variations to remain on my file, the credit bureaus are failing that duty. Metro2 reporting standards also require accurate and consistent consumer identification fields, which means names and addresses must match the true consumers records. These entries clearly do not. 

The harm from these inaccuracies is not hypothetical they undermine my creditworthiness and could cause future lenders or insurers to question the stability or legitimacy of my profile. They also create confusion in underwriting and expose me to potential denials or less favorable financial terms. 

I have disputed these items, and yet they remain. Marking them as disputed is not a sufficient cure. The law requires accuracy, and these items are not accurate.

Complaint narrative:
I am filing this formal complaint under FCRA 605B ( 15 U.S.C. 1681c-2 ) requesting that Experian immediately block and permanently remove multiple fraudulent accounts [ Collections, Charge-Offs, Late Payments, and Hard Inquiries ] that were added to my credit report without my knowledge or authorization.

I am filing this FTC Identity Theft Affidavit to report XXXX fraudulent accounts appearing on my consumer XXXX Experian credit report which I do not recognize as reported and which are the result of identity theft and fraud. These fraudulent accounts consist of a secured credit card opened at XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX under account number XXXX, an student loan opened at XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX under account number XXXX, and another student loan opened at XXXX XXXX XXXX on XXXX under account number XXXX. These accounts have resulted in several fraudulent hard inquiries and fraudulent collections appearing on my consumer XXXX credit report. I demand that the aforementioned fraudulent items be removed from each of my consumer credit reports and that all collection activity related to said items cease pursuant to my rights within the FCRA and FDCPA laws It is the credit bureaus legal obligation under the FCRA to review and block fraudulent, inaccurate, or incomplete information from a consumers file within XXXX ( XXXX ) business days of receiving proper documentation. I am demanding the immediate removal of all fraudulent items, a stop to all related collection activity, and confirmation that this dispute has been escalated for manual investigation, not automated processing. Failure to act in accordance with federal law may result in further legal action to protect my consumer rights.

Issue: False statements or representation — Attempted to collect wrong amount
Company: Central States Recovery, Inc.
State: KS

Complaint narrative:
Amount owed is {$570.00} from XXXX XXXX XXXX. My insurance was supposed to pay but never did nor gave me an answer as to why they didn't, so my bill got sent to Central States Recovery as I did not have this money at the time.

When I got the initial email, it said on the document I owed {$570.00} but online said I owed {$650.00}. Didn't think much of it at first, so I made my first payment of {$50.00} on XX/XX/XXXX. 
Then the week after, it showed that I owed {$1100.00} with another email showing me my statement of {$570.00}, with a different reference number. When I called, it showed that I was charged {$570.00} twice, along with an unrecognized charge of {$21.00} that was not mine. They said they closed the duplicate account. Afterwards, I made another payment of {$50.00} that processed on XX/XX/XXXX. 
Now, my balance only shows as {$550.00}, saying I've only paid {$29.00}. When I've already made a payment of {$100.00}, and it no longer shows on my end online that I've made any payments whatsoever, despite it being withdrawn from my card and having receipts in my email. 
Communication has been difficult at best, with today showing how rude the workers on the phone can be. I tried to email them the information they requested but with no contact afterwards.
