Complaint narrative:
This account with XXXX XXXX Bank was opened in XX/XX/year> with a credit limit of {$5000.00}. A balance of {$6400.00} is now being reported as charged off on all three credit bureaus. 

I fell behind on payments due to financial hardship, but I was not notified in writing that the account would be charged off or given the opportunity to settle before it became derogatory. 

There are inconsistencies in the way the account is reported across TransUnion, Experian, and Equifax including differences in last payment dates, credit limits, and last active dates. These inconsistencies impact my credit score and violate the principle of accurate and consistent credit reporting under the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ). 

I am requesting either a validation of the current balance, or an opportunity to resolve this account in good faith.

Complaint narrative:
After I received an email from Equifax notifying me that my personal information has been compromised in a data breach. I discovered negative and unauthorized information on my credit report and immediately contacted Experian, Equifax and TransUnion to dispute the items in question. I provided the necessary documentation to support my claim, explaining that these debts were not incurred by me and were a result of fraudulent activity linked to the Equifax data breach. Despite my efforts, Experian, Transunion and Equifax denied my case, asserting that the information had been " verified '' and leaving the fraudulent entries on my credit report. This denial has caused significant distress, which have negatively affected my financial stability and mental well-being, as these negative marks are damaging my credit and financial standing. Specifically, I have faced multiple instances of being denied services, including credit applications and other essential opportunities. I believe that Experian, Transunion and Equifax has not fully investigated the potential fraudulent activity tied to the Equitax data breach and I am seeking further assistance to correct the errors on my report. I also remain committed to resolving this matter and protecting my financial well-being.

Company: EQUIFAX, INC.
State: FL

Complaint narrative:
am writing to formally dispute and request review of the XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX credit card account, opened in XX/XX/year>. Due to a short period of financial hardship, I was unable to make payments, and the account eventually became past due and was charged off. 

However, the way this account is being reported across TransUnion, Experian, and Equifax contains inconsistencies and harmful errors : Equifax reports the credit limit as {$0.00}, which is inaccurate. The actual limit was {$7100.00}. This misreporting unfairly damages my credit utilization ratio. 

Different dates are reported as Date Last Active and Date of Last Payment across bureaus. 

The full balance is being listed as Past Due, even though the account is now closed and charged off, which overstates current delinquency. 

I was not given a final opportunity to settle the account before it was charged off. I would like to resolve the issue and request a review of the credit reporting.

Complaint narrative:
In XX/XX/year>, a collection account for {$140.00} was opened and reported by Caine & Weiner on behalf of XXXX XXXX to XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX 

I was never contacted by either XXXX or Caine & Weiner prior to the debt being reported to the credit bureaus. I never received any billing statement, notice of balance due, or validation of this debt. 

Under the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act ( FDCPA ), consumers are entitled to request validation of a debt before it is reported or pursued. Since I have not received such documentation, I dispute the accuracy and legitimacy of this collection. 

I request that this account be investigated and removed from my credit report if it can not be verified with supporting documentation.
