The items listed below are reported on my credit file and were found in my reports with credit reporting agencies. These items were opened fraudulently. Ive informed all parties of the issue & provided the necessary documentation to support my claim. The credit reporting agency ( CRA ) & data furnisher ( DF ) are not complying with federal law regarding identity theft. Additionally, the credit reporting agency & data furnisher have not provided any evidence of an open contract, signed contract, or any valid proof this was opened, authorized, or created by me.

Company: Early Warning Services, LLC
State: CA

Complaint narrative:
In a previous communication, I specifically requested that Early Warning update my information to accurately reflect that all of my checking accounts, including those that have been closed and those displaying account abuse, should be classified as " Discharged through Bankruptcy. '' This request was made in light of the fact that all such accounts have been officially resolved through the bankruptcy process. 

Recently, during a phone call with a customer service representative, I sought clarification on why these accounts continue to be reported despite their XXXX  XXXX discharge. The primary purpose of organizations like Early Warning and the XXXX XXXX is to serve as a warning to other financial institutions regarding negative account behaviors. If this is indeed the case, it logically follows that any accounts discharged through bankruptcy should no longer be part of these reporting systems. Therefore, I believe that the continued reporting of these accounts places Early Warning in violation of California bankruptcy law. 

Moreover, I would like to highlight a critical point : during a recent communication with XXXX, they confirmed that they have no records of the accounts referenced in my complaint. This raises an important question : Why is Early Warning reporting an account that XXXX does not even acknowledge in its records? Is Early Warning potentially violating XXXX different consumer protection laws? Or could it be the case that they have simply not updated their records to reflect the current status of my accounts? Given these concerns, I am contemplating seeking legal counsel within the next XXXX to 60 days to explore my options. 

XXXX XXXX  XXXX in questions : XXXX and XXXX In conclusion, I am formally requesting the immediate deletion of these accounts from your records. Additionally, I kindly ask that you send an updated report reflecting these changes to my address on file. Thank you for your timely attention to this matter.

Company: TRANSUNION INTERMEDIATE HOLDINGS, INC.

Complaint narrative:
This is my final notice regarding your ongoing noncompliance with federal credit reporting laws. I previously disputed the accuracy and legitimacy of several items on my credit report, yet your agency has failed to act in accordance with the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ) and the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act ( FDCPA ). 

Your violations include : Failure to validate the debt as required under 15 USC 1692g ( Section 809 ( b ) ).

Continuing communication after a certified cease-and-desist request, violating 15 USC 1692c ( Section 805 ( c ) ).

Harassment under 15 USC 1692d ( Section 806 ).

Recently, I received notice that your investigation was complete, but the disputed accounts remain on my credit report. These accounts are not only inaccurate but were never authorized by me. No valid contract exists, and I have not provided any written consent for the reporting of these accounts, as required under 15 U.S. Code 1681b. 

I demand that the following items be deleted immediately from my credit report :

Company: Experian Information Solutions Inc.
State: CA

Complaint narrative:
I am writing to formally dispute the inaccurate reporting of certain accounts on my credit report. These accounts were placed in a hardship forbearance agreement with the companies below, and it was explicitly stated by the institution that no negative information would be reported during the agreed period due to my financial hardship. However, my recent credit report reflects negative remarks associated with these accounts, which is both inaccurate and unjust. 

The Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ) requires credit reporting agencies to ensure that all information reported is accurate and verifiable. I am providing you this notice to review and investigate these accounts, as it is being reported contrary to the terms agreed upon with the creditor. Specifically, they assured me in writing that during the forbearance period, no delinquent payments, late remarks, or derogatory statuses would be reported. 

It is crucial to note that continued inaccurate reporting constitutes a violation of the FCRA, and failure to address this issue will leave me no choice but to seek all legal remedies available under Sections 616 and 617 of the Act. Additionally, as required by Section 611 ( a ) ( 5 ) ( A ), all unverifiable or inaccurate information must be promptly corrected or removed from my credit report.

I lodged a complaint with these XXXX a month ago, but unfortunately, the inaccurate information on my report still remains.

XXXX XXXX ( XXXX XXXX  ) works closely with northern hills collections. And uses deceptive practices to split your debt into up 3 or 4 different accounts without your knowledge. I had made payments to my account in which I owed XXXX XXXX. Why is my debt split up and owed to different places and offices accounts ect? I was making payments while these other accounts for the same debt were split up and secreting being sent into collections with less then a year or any notification of any amount of debt goin to be sold off or moved to other places. They do this on purpose to confuse to average person like me. So in short northern hills collections would harass me and my family constantly making threats to them and their property in reference to my debt while using the XXXX XXXX police department and courts to back up and bully me and my family. XXXX XXXX also seized one of my vehicles and and then proceeded to make and ad in the paper in a city I do not live in, telling me to pick up my car. Sense XXXX dont live there and count have seen it my car was defaulted to the county. Thats was {$15000.00} car. XXXX XXXX XXXXXXXX Taken stolen for no reason. While the county covered its own tracks, they demand and try to intimate me for more and more money.

I more I pay this county and this company the more they try to harass lie and tell your family and friends false information as well trying to slander you. I would like to press charges and end this harassment and extortion thank you.

Company: EVERBANK, NATIONAL ASSOCIATION
State: ID

Complaint narrative:
My beloved mother sadly died. Everbank told us that we had to submit her death certificate, the probate documents and a notarized letter from the executor of her estate ( that's me ) saying where to send the money from her account. I sent Everbank those documents, and they are refusing to send us the money from her account. We are the only beneficiaries from the estate, both co-listed on the probate documents which is fully closed. There is no reason not to give us the money. We searched for complaints about this bank, and there are literally hundreds of complaints online saying that they fraudulently froze people 's accounts and refused to give them their money back, just as they are doing to us. I honestly think they do this to people as their business plan, as a way to increase their liquidity. And then they try to claim that the account holders are committing fraud as a way to hide that they are the ones committing fraud ( after all, *they* are the ones who stole money from us ).

Company: CAPITAL ONE FINANCIAL CORPORATION

Complaint narrative:
This is to provide additional info on company 's response. 
I spoke with the capital one claim agent stating I only want to get reimbursement for the NSF/late fees that were caused by technical issue, and I do not give Capital One permission to cancel or reverse ACH as I stated multiple times that it would only incur more fees on my XXXX XXXX  account. The agent never said Capital One can not dispute partial amount but ensure me they are going to only dispute the {$70.00} fee and promised they will NOT cancel or reverse my ach rent payment. 
The next day, I found that Capital One has ignored my instruction, canceled and reversed the ACH rent payment again causing me to have to pay additional fees to my account and got my rent account to be closed by my landlord. 
This is solely a bank error from Capital One as the claims were NOT submitted per my instructions nor did they have my permission to reverse my rent ach payment.
