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: TX

Complaint narrative:
I have recently reviewed my consumer credit report, and I have noticed that it also contains information regarding alleged late payments, which I believe fall under the category of " transactions and experiences. '' According to the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ) and other applicable laws and regulations, transactions and experiences are explicitly stated as information that should be excluded from a consumer credit file. 

It is important to emphasize that any alleged late payments are indeed transactions and experiences, and their inclusion in my credit report is not only inaccurate but also potentially damaging to my creditworthiness. I firmly believe that these items should not be part of my consumer credit file, as they do not accurately reflect my credit history and financial behavior. I have listed the following information as a reference : Negative Accounts : XXXXXXXX XXXX XXXX Lender : {$180.00}, {$230.00} XXXX, XXXX ( Negative Remarks ) XXXX XXXX XXXX {$180.00}, {$230.00} XXXX, XXXX ( Negative Remarks ) XXXX  XXXX : {$200.00} Equifax, XXXX, XXXX ( Negative Remarks ) XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX {$600.00} Equifax, XXXX, XXXX ( Negative Remarks ) XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX {$0.00} Equifax, XXXX, XXXX ( Negative Remarks ) Collections : XXXX XXXX XXXX {$480.00} Equifax, XXXX, XXXX ( Negative Remarks ) XXXX XXXX XXXX {$130.00} Equifax, XXXX

Company: Experian Information Solutions Inc.

Complaint narrative:
After making multiple calls, it became evident that the information provided by XXXX does not match with my records. Upon further investigation, I discovered that the email address XXXX, which was used during the transaction, was created from my stolen phone. Additionally, XXXX claims that the loans were taken out from both XXXX and XXXX. However, despite my efforts to contact both companies, they have confirmed that there is no record of any loans associated with my account. I have attached the emails for your reference. 
Despite presenting this evidence, XXXX is unwilling to remove the fraudulent loan from my credit history. They insist that I am responsible for the loan, even though it was created using my stolen information.

The Experian and XXXX credit bureaus are required to authenticate the account under Sections 609 ( a ) ( 1 ) ( A ) and 611 ( a ) ( 1 ). ( A ). It is not acceptable to treat the reporting account as unconfirmed information without producing proof within the legal time range.

So Loan At Last is a XXXX XXXX XXXX basically giving them Sovereign Immunity against State & Federal laws limits on APRs. I took out a {$600.00} loan not realizing they are charging me a 664.67 % APR. Making a {$600.00} loan into a {$3000.00} loan after everything is said and done, I dont understand why these Predatory Loan Companies are allowed to conduct shady, illegal business practices. Just because theyre protected by Sovereign Immunity? Thats ludicrous! Its unethical & immoral to charge such an APR. And they wonder why I cant pay back the loan! And on top of they, they put the loan in collections! They shouldnt be allowed to do that. Nobody will ever be able to pay off a loan at that rate. Loan At Last needs to be held accountable for their atrocious business practices & should be ordered to pay back restitution.

Complaint narrative:
Requested General Purpose loan for {$45000.00} from XXXX XXXX XXXX in late XXXX. XXXX  transferred {$44000.00} to USAA on XXXX XXXX XXXX using ACH trace number XXXX ; however, loan proceeds went to the wrong account owned by another account holder at USAA due to a clerical error. Funds were sent to USAA account ending in XXXX ( unknown account owner ), rather than my account ending in XXXX ( owned by XXXX XXXX XXXX ), which matches the name on my XXXX  account where the transfer originated. 

I noticed the funds were sent to the wrong account o/a XXXX XX/XX/XXXX  and I called the XXXX, who completed a " stop payment and reissue. '' I followed-up with the XXXX  and USAA in several phone calls over the subsequent days, weeks, and months, and a summary of the outcome from those calls follows : Initially the XXXX  advised 7-14 days to process the stop payment and reissue. Shortly thereafter, it advised XXXX needed to conduct an investigation expected to take 60-90 days which began on XXXX. I followed-up with weekly phone calls to check on the status of the investigation, and the XXXX didn't have any updates through XXXX. I pressed for an actionable update after 90 days elapsed and XXXX advised on XXXX its investigation was complete and it would re-issue the funds within 5 business days. I called on XXXX to check on the transfer status and XXXX  advised it had not re-issued the funds and I needed to contact Dept. of Treasury for further action. 

I called Treasury on XXXX and spoke with Agent # XXXX who advised XXXX contacted them on XXXX and Treasury sent an inquiry to USAA, but had not received a response. I followed up with Treasury on XXXX and USAA still has not responded to Treasury 's inquiry regarding ACH Trace number XXXX. 

I have submitted three disputes with USAA regarding its failure to respond to Treasury inquiries ( USAA disputes on XXXX, XXXX, and XXXX ) without resolution. USAA refers back to the originating institution ( XXXX  ), but XXXX  has already forwarded the transaction reversal to Treasury and action remains unresolved with USAA. 

USAA is enabling a federal felony by not recovering funds erroneously deposited into account ending in XXXX so they may be re-issued to the proper account holder, XXXX XXXX, with account ending in XXXX.
