Consumer complaint received 2023-04-29 00:00:00
Product: Credit reporting, credit repair services, or other personal consumer reports — Credit reporting
Issue: Incorrect information on your report — Information belongs to someone else
Company: EQUIFAX, INC.
State: IN

Complaint narrative:
This CFPB Complaint is being submitted to report that I have been a victim of identity theft. Upon researching how to remove the fraudulent accounts on my credit report, I discovered that I need to file a report with the Federal Trade Commission or visit their website at https : //www.ftc.gov. Under FCRA Section 605b, Credit Reporting Agencies are obligated to remove any accounts and information listed on an ID Theft Report. After recently receiving a copy of my credit report, I was surprised to find several accounts that I did not open and have no knowledge of. Attached documents will assist in blocking the erroneous information from being posted on my report. The following items are in question : XXXX XXXX XXXXXXXX Balance : {$0.00} XXXXXXXX XXXX XXXXXXXX Balance : {$0.00} XXXX XXXXXXXX Balance : {$1000.00} XXXX XXXXXXXX Balance : {$1200.00} XXXX XXXX XXXX  I XXXX Balance : {$0.00} XXXXXXXX XXXX XXXXXXXX Balance : {$0.00} XXXX XXXX XXXXXXXX Balance : {$0.00} XXXX XXXX XXXXXXXX Balance : {$550.00} XXXXXXXX XXXX XXXX  XXXXXXXX XXXX XXXXXX/XX/XXXX XXXX XX/XX/XXXX XXXXXXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXXXXXX XXXX XX/XX/XXXX. I can confirm that I did not open these accounts or give anyone permission to do so on my behalf. I believe that this is a case of identity theft and I am taking steps to report it to the authorities. FCRA Section 605B ( a ) requires Credit Reporting Agencies to block any information in a consumer 's file that the consumer identifies as information resulting from identity theft, no later than 4 business days after receipt.

Complaint narrative:
I am trying to close on a home and Equifax is giving out errors. I've tried to resolve this issue with Equifax with no sucess whatsoever. Apparently Equifax can't locate my account/profile. They've instructed me to send copies of my Social security Card, driver 's license, and a cover letter. However they keep telling me that they haven't received my fax or mail. Fortunately, I have confirmation of the successful fax and mail delivery. This is unacceptable!

Issue: Attempts to collect debt not owed — Debt was result of identity theft
Company: TRUIST FINANCIAL CORPORATION
State: CA

Complaint narrative:
Lightstream who is part of Truist Bank has completely neglected requests for removal of a fraudulent account that came as a result of identity theft. I have asked Lightstream/Truist on 4 different occasions, via certified mail with return receipts to record all of our interactions dating back to XXXX of 2022, to remove the account from my personal name & credit report & to stop fraudulently collecting on a account that is not mine & or lawfully validate the debt in accordance with the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act ( FDCPA ), 15 U.S. Code 1692 ( g ). 

Lightstream/Truist is in direct violation of Federal Law 15 U.S Code 1692 ( g ) which requires them to validate such debt by providing All of the following : 1. The identity of the original creditor.

2. The amount of the alleged debt.

3. The name and address of the original creditor, if different from the current creditor. 
4. The original lawful contract signed by both parties in wet ink, therefore binding both parties, XXXX XXXX ( the natural man ), and Lightstream, that proves I agreed to pay the alleged amount.

5. A GAAP accounting documentation ( both on and off ledger ) showing the exact asset ( s ) used to collateralize the debt. 

It is my right to request validation of any purported debt under the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act & It is Lightstream/Truist 's obligation to supply the aforementioned materials as requested which they have failed to do time and time again. 

Not only has Lightstream/Truist not lawfully validated  the debt but they have continued to fraudulently collect & report the fraud. 

Lightstream did not validate this debt under the FDCPA laws & I demand them to remove this fraudulent account from my credit report as it is continuing to harm my well being.

Complaint narrative:
On XX/XX/XXXX, I submitted a request to block items on my consumer report as I am a victim of identity theft. This was not a dispute, however, the FCRA has chosen to forgo Federal regulation and apply their company policy to treat this as a dispute. In fact, when I called them, they stated that their policy supersedes Federal law ( which states ) ( a ) Block A consumer reporting agency should block the reporting of any information in the file of a consumer that the consumer identifies as information that resulted from alleged identity theft, not later than 4 business days after the date receipt by such agency of- ( 1 ) appropriate proof of the identity of the consumer ; ( 2 ) a copy of an identity theft report, ( 3 ) the identification of such information by the consumer, and ( 4 ) a statement by the consumer that the information is not information relating to any transaction by the consumer. I submitted proof that my social security number, fingerprints, birthdate, addresses, and other identifying information were affected by the XXXX XXXX data breach as well as XXXX 's XXXX data breach. I submitted all the required documents per 15usc1681c and yet the CRA has failed to block this information and it has been over 4 days. Again, this is NOT A DISPUTE.
