Company: EQUIFAX, INC.

Complaint narrative:
I recently submitted a request that in fact XXXX XXXXXXXX had to open credit cards in my name one ending in XXXX in the other ending in XXXX. We submitted a letter a suit last month and a payment was made in the credit card that was open XXXX XXXX XXXX submitted a letter to XXXX XXXX not crediting the payment that was made for some ungodly reason We are not sure. The account ending in XXXX along with the other ending in XXXX were both open as stated above without XXXX XXXX permission. This account was recently closed and as you know closing a line of credit or loan of credit on a credit card account decreases a credit score. XXXX XXXXXXXX bank needs to resolve this issue as fast as possible as again their issue originally calls me to get declined for a mortgage application. We are furious about this matter and this needs to be resolved ASAP

Product: Student loan — Private student loan
Issue: Struggling to repay your loan — Problem lowering your monthly payments
Company: SLM CORPORATION
State: CA

Complaint narrative:
At the beginning of XX/XX/2022, my student loan payment jumped from a consistent {$540.00} to {$840.00}. I called and asked why this happened and they said at first it was just the interest and that paying this much would benefit me. They had no programs that would offer holding this amount and no programs for me to refinance the montly payment loan. From there the increase went to {$870.00}, then {$890.00}, {$900.00}, {$940.00}, {$960.00}, and up every month and now my next monthly bill is at {$1000.00}. I have called to ask and plead multiply times why this loan continues to increase and Im always told because of the variable interest rate. Ive asked what my options are because that is almoat my full check and they said, You can make late payments anytime. Ive called and offered {$6500.00} up front to pay off my smallest loan ( the money I saved to purchase an apartment ) as a desperate attempt to decrease my monthly payment and I was denied due to the fact that it needed to be the exact {$7200.00}. Not anything less. The woman said sorry, youll have to make the payments. Ive called multiple times for assistance and each time Im given a number to call. Ive waited on the phone for hours ( one call I was on hold for 53 minutes ) to be told there are no programs to help me that are available and nothing can be done for me. I have paid thousands of dollars to Sallie Mae and i can not get any type of assistance even when offering up front thousands of dollars.

Issue: Opening an account — Unable to open an account
Company: CAPITAL ONE FINANCIAL CORPORATION
State: RI

Complaint narrative:
I probably did not select the correct options, but that is a problem with hard coded web pages in the first place. My issue is that one Friday, XX/XX/XXXX, I received multiple emails from Capital One on each step of the opening of my XXXX Checking account. 
The problem is I did not apply for or open any account with Capital One. I have received an Application ID : XXXX. 
Another email provided the following information : <my name> XXXX XXXX Routing number XXXX A search online shows that is the correct routing number for Capital One. Obviously the last four only for the checking account number is useless. 

I made frequent calls to different phone numbers for customer service for Capital One. They were all useless and a couple were downright rude. They want my social security number. I did not open any account with them, I am not giving out my social security number, and since someone else is trying to open this account, how would my SS # be any use to Capital One looking up my account? Once said I need to go to a Branch, this could not be solved over the phone. There are not any branches within XXXX miles of me ( branch locator on their web page ). My situation was never escalated to a higher tier or management. This is absolutely ridiculous. Normally I would not believe the emails as they could be phishing attempts, but checking the web page certification shows it is certified by XXXX to Capital One Financial Corp, XXXX Virginia. Which all seems legit. 
I would like to know what recourse against Capital One I can take. I'd like affirmation this account has not been opened in my name without my knowledge or consent. Any help is greatly appreciated.

Complaint narrative:
There is an account that Equifax has Has violated my rights by law By not removing after the proof was given and it has been disputed 3 times with them and also coming CFPB for the 2nd time now. XXXX and XXXX have both deleted this immediately. And by law there's 3 reasons this needs be removed, not NOT considered CLOSED ( IT WASNT OPENED BY ME ) 1st of all a fraud alert And an investigation was apparently done by the government, 2nd of all the dates are completely wrong, And dollar amounts have changed multiple times, and my personal info has been fraudulently used, 3rd of all it should have been completely deleted in XXXX of 2022 like all the proof says, even if I was aware and it was my account ( which its NOT ), and this still hasn't happened. Now that I have everything cleared up on my report and you don't want to take care of it and protect me as an honest civilian, the next step will be getting an attorney and I will persecute at a federal level. Please do your jobs there at CFPB and Equifax, So I don't have to waste another minute and stress over something that is beyond my control, that I've tried to handle for the 5th time now! I am not allowed to sign a mortgage on our 1st home for my daughter 's and I at XXXX XXXX XXXX until this is removed and weve been patiently waiting for over 7 months now!!! Have a blessed week!

I have provided everything you need from my personal information to my FTC which I have filed, but nothing has changed. I contacted the furnishers and they approved to DELETE the accounts from my file. But then TransUnion has some internal block which they're claiming they can use to not block the accounts because they feel they're above the law. When I asked them why they're not accepting the FTC report they claim they have an internal policy ( which is OUTSIDE FCRA laws ) & they're unwilling to explain why.

This is not a duplicate nor is this complaint filed by a third party. I am filing this complaint myself. Please see this complaint is processed to the letter of the law. I am very distressed that you have STILL included the below information in my credit profile which is creating damaging effects on my good credit standing. No doubt the inclusion of this inaccurate information is a mistake on your part. The other credit reporting agencies found inaccuracies with the information listed and removed or updated them without incident. You, however, seem to claim you've verified the accuracy of the information. I'm very confused. Can you please let me know how you verified this information? What methods you used, who you talked with at the company, and what day and time you talked to this person? All this information is needed for a case I'm building against all parties who are damaging my credit XXXX XXXX  XXXX

Complaint narrative:
This is not a duplicate nor is this complaint filed by a third party. I am filing this complaint myself. Please see this complaint is processed to the letter of the law. I am appalled by the ability of Equifax to keep ignoring a consumer 's request for the correction of the disputed account on my Credit Report. Under the FCRA sections 609 and 611, the Credit Bureaus are required to verify the information and status of the account being reported on my Credit Report. But in my case, Equifax has kept reporting the disputed account claiming that the information they present is accurate, with which I greatly disagree. I am submitting this complaint to you today to request that Equifax provide me copies of documents bearing my signature to verify the status of the disputed account. If the Credit Bureaus failed to comply with the condition and continue the reporting of the disputed account, please understand I will seek legal action. I need the account corrected as soon as possible : XXXX  XXXX XXXX
