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

Complaint narrative:
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.

Product: Debt collection — Medical debt
Issue: Attempts to collect debt not owed — Debt was paid
Company: Frost-Arnett Company
State: FL

Complaint narrative:
I am filing this complaint against Frost-Arnett Company for attempting to collect a debt that I do not owe, and for failing to comply with federal requirements under the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act ( FDCPA ).

The debt in question arises from a XX/XX/XXXX emergency room visit at XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX. My insurer, XXXX, processed the claim ( Claim # XXXX ) and paid {$3600.00} to the provider. I paid the remaining balance of {$830.00} in full via XXXX on XX/XX/XXXX, as confirmed by a receipt ( see attached ). This debt was fully satisfied. 

Despite this, the hospital incorrectly referred the account to collections, and I have since received text messages from Frost-Arnett attempting to collect the balance. However : I have never received a written validation notice via mail as required by federal law. 

The text messages contain suspicious-looking links that appear to be phishing or scam messages, and I have not clicked on them. 

The lack of a written notice violates my rights under the FDCPA and creates unnecessary stress and confusion. 

Additionally, I have contacted the hospital directly multiple times including calls with XXXX representatives on the line and the hospital admitted the referral to collections was an error on their part. Despite this, Frost-Arnett continues XXXX pursue the debt. 

This conduct is inappropriate, unprofessional, and possibly illegal. I am requesting that the CFPB investigate Frost-Arnetts practices in this matter and ensure the following : 1. Immediate removal of any reference to this account from their systems ; 2. Written confirmation that the debt is closed and resolved ; 3. A guarantee that no negative information will be reported to credit bureaus ; 4. An investigation into why no written notice was sent to me in violation of the FDCPA. 

I am attaching my proof of payment and relevant insurance documentation to support this complaint. 

Sincerely, XXXX XXXX XXXX

Company: Experian Information Solutions Inc.
State: NJ

Complaint narrative:
On XX/XX/year>, I reviewed my updated credit report and was shocked to find that Experian had reinserted a XXXX XXXX account that was previously deleted. I never received any notice of this reinsertion, which directly violates my rights under the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ), specifically 15 U.S.C. 1681i ( a ) ( 5 ) ( B ), which requires consumer notification within five business days of reinsertion. I never gave authorization or consent for this account to be re-reported, and this unauthorized activity is especially concerning because I previously filed a formal identity theft report with the FTC. I have also attached proof that Experian previously deleted this account. Their failure to notify me, coupled with the reinsertion of an account linked to identity theft, demonstrates willful and negligent noncompliance under 15 U.S.C. 1681n and 1681o. I am demanding immediate deletion of this account from my credit file and full compliance with federal law.

Complaint narrative:
I am formally disputing the following negative items on my credit report : XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX These entries remain unverified and questionable. Despite multiple attempts to have these inaccuracies properly investigated and resolved, no meaningful action has been taken. I have submitted all required documentation and followed up repeatedly, yet the errors persist.

The mental and emotional toll of dealing with these unresolved discrepancies has been overwhelming. 

Under the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ), I am entitled to a fair and accurate credit report, including the removal of unverifiable or incorrect information. I urge you to take immediate steps to verify and rectify these items, as failure to do so constitutes a violation of my rights under federal law.
