Product: Credit reporting or other personal consumer reports — Credit reporting
Issue: Improper use of your report — Reporting company used your report improperly
Company: Experian Information Solutions Inc.
State: AL

Complaint narrative:
The Fair Credit Reporting Act ( 15 U.S. Code 1681 ) says ( 1 ) The banking system is dependent upon fair and accurate credit reporting. Inaccurate credit reports directly impair the efficiency of the banking system, and unfair credit reporting methods undermine the public confidence which is essential to the continued functioning of the banking system. 

So whenever there is a violation under the FCRA, it impairs the efficiency of the banking system. This is a violation of my privacy with my consumer report, since I control what is listed and what is not. In the event that any accounts are reported without my written consent, that is considered identity theft. 

This is a violation of both 15 U.S. Code 1681b ( 2 ) and 15 U.S. Code 1681c-2. This leads way to civil liability against the credit reporting agency for negligent and willful noncompliance under 15 U.S. Code 1681n, which allows for {$1000.00} per violation, for account listed without my expressed written consent.

Company: EQUIFAX, INC.
State: CA

Complaint narrative:
Im writing to formally request that Equifax block certain information on my credit report due to identity theft and fraud, in line with FCRA 605B ( 15 U.S.C. 1681c-2 ).

Here are the fraudulent accounts I need removed : 1. A collections account opened at XXXX XXXX XXXX on XX/XX/2023, with a balance of {$1000.00}, seemingly related to credit card at XXXX XXXXXXXX. 
4. A collections account opened at XXXX XXXX XXXX on XX/XX/2023, with a balance of {$730.00}, seemingly related to credit card at XXXX XXXX 
5. A collections account opened at XXXX XXXX XXXX on XX/XX/2023, with a balance of {$860.00}, origin unknown. 
2. A collections account opened at XXXX XXXX XXXX on XX/XX/2023, with a balance of {$340.00}, seemingly related to a utility account at XXXX XXXX. 

These accounts have resulted in multiple fraudulent hard inquiries and collections showing up on my consumer XXXX credit report. I've attached a list of the hard inquiries in question, as well as a copy of my consumer XXXX credit report from Equifax showing these fraudulent items. 

I do not recognize any of these accounts, collections, or hard inquiries. They were not opened, made, or initiated by me and are clearly the result of identity theft and fraud. Ive also included a copy of the FTC Identity Theft Criminal Complaint # [ report # ] as proof from the US Federal Trade Commission confirming that these accounts, collections, and inquiries are the result of identity theft and fraud.

Complaint narrative:
I see some items on my credit report that I dont know. It looks like someone might have stolen my identity because I didnt approve these accounts. Ive talked about this before, and now Im asking for these accounts to be taken off my report quickly. Having these accounts on my report is causing me stress. They dont show my real credit history or how I handle money, and its been hard dealing with this. If we cant fix this, Im ready to go to court to protect my rights and find a solution. These wrong items on my credit report are a big problem for me. Theyre stopping me from reaching important money goals, like buying a house and supporting my family. I hope we can fix this problem soon.

Company: LoanCare, LLC
State: FL

Complaint narrative:
I just received a response from my previous complaint on today XX/XX/2024, which I disagree with. The untrained staff that you have in the phone should not be at the fault of the customer. During this partial claim process I called several times to get clarification on the terms and the payments that would be included in the Partial Claim. You can go back and listen to them. Also in those calls you can hear me say I know how the process works and nothing that they told me as correct. I asked for the terms of the Partial Claim several times which I was told that they could not give, which I know is incorrect as I have been in the XXXX XXXX  almost XXXX XXXX  I asked for the terms because I wanted to ensure that it included the XX/XX/2024 payment. I was told over the phone when I asked was the XX/XX/2024 payment included in the Partial Claim and I was told yes so please go back and review the calls. I also advised to speak to someone in Loss Mitt several times and I was told I could not be transferred and then miraculously the last time I called on XX/XX/2024, I was transferred to Loss Mitt per the representative on the phone and that is when I was told the most outrageous misinformation thus far. If I would have know that the Partial Claim did not include the XX/XX/2024 payment then I would not have signed it and would have asked for it to be re-reviewed which I know it can be done or asked for a Loan Modification with financial docs. Because I was told that it included and the Partial claim paperwork did not come with a breakdown, which by the way that is something your company should look into providing for a better customer experience ( because again you can ). 

While you XXXX not have made an error in the processing an implementing the Partial Claim, the misinformation that was constantly provided by your representatives, directly resulted in further hardship for the customer. Something needs to be done. You just can't say oh well when there have been several errors and mistakes on your part. Loancare is practicing in unfair and deceptive practices and in violation of XXXX. I have gone to the XXXX XXXX XXXX  and I will be contacting the Attorney General next. 

Additionally, another error that was located is that my monthly payment in the system shows {$1500.00}, per the partial claim and the response you just sent me my payment is suppose to be {$1500.00}. Why is payment {$41.00} more than it is suppose to be.

Complaint narrative:
I filed a dispute for inaccuracy regarding the account listed below. The dispute was sent to Experian. I asked Experian to conduct the independent investigation as required by law, because the account has an inaccurate payment history. Experian is reporting an account that has multiple inaccurate Charge offs ; XX/XX/XXXX, XXXX, XX/XX/XXXX. 

The account was illegally re-aged because Charge offs were added 3 years after an initial inaccurate charge off was placed on the account. 

XXXX XXXX Disputes were filed XXXX, XXXX, and XXXX. 

Experian stated that the information was verified as " accurate '' even though they are reporting missing and inaccurate information. A request was made to Experian to provide me with the documents used to verify. Experian did not provide the information.
