Company: EQUIFAX, INC.
State: MS

Complaint narrative:
I am writing to request the removal of bankruptcy reporting from my credit reports. I have disputed this item with Equifax, XXXX, and XXXX. Equifax, XXXX, and XXXX responded and verified bankruptcy with third-party XXXX. I have received the Results of the Reseller Dispute from the XXXX file in accordance with the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ) ( 15 U.S.C. 1681 et seq ). As of XX/XX/XXXX, the dispute information was removed from my file at XXXX. XX/XX/XXXX XXXX dispute filed with Equifax, XXXX, and XXXX but has not received a response. I have attached a dispute letters results from XXXX with my driver 's license and social security card for verification. According to the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ) section 623 ( a ) ( 2 ) ( B ), it is required that credit bureaus verify the full social security numbers and dates of birth from the courts before reporting public information such as bankruptcies, evictions and/or criminal histories. However, the Privacy Act of 1974 and the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure 5.2 prohibit the courts from reporting the full social security numbers and dates of birth on all publicly available court records. As a result, any bankruptcy written is unverifiable and violates federal and state law, as stated above. I believe this violates my rights under the FCRA and could subject the credit bureau to a class action lawsuit should a similarly situated class decide to pursue such action. Therefore, I request that bankruptcy reporting be removed from my credit reports immediately. I appreciate your prompt attention to this matter and look forward to receiving confirmation of the removal of the bankruptcy reporting from my credit reports.

Complaint narrative:
I currently have a mortgage with XXXX XXXX. I contacted them directly to refinance my mortgage. I did not XXXX or use any social media to search for information. As soon as XXXX XXXX pulled my credit report, my husband and I both started receiving phone calls and text messages from random mortgage services/companies. Now XXXX XXXX wouldn't sell our info to other other mortgage companies because that would be their competition. The only thing I can assume is that XXXX, TransUnion and XXXX are allowing other entities to monitor my credit report and once someone pulls it, they're notified and know exactly what type of financing. I'm sure the 3 credit reporting agencies are also making money off of my private information. HOW IS THIS LEGAL??? My husband receives 10 plus phone calls every day since our credit report was pulled by XXXX XXXX. He receives the same amount of text messages. All from random companies and numbers. As soon as he blocks one number, they call with another number. I also am receiving calls and texts on my phone. It's a violation of our privacy and this practice needs to STOP!

Company: Reliant Capital Solutions, LLC
State: AL

Complaint narrative:
Notified via personal credit monitoring that a collection account had been added to my credit report for {$15000.00}. Report states that Reliant Capital Solutions is claiming this is a new collection account that was opened on XX/XX/2023. I NEVER received any type of communication from this collector, I've not been able to dispute such, and they have placed this on my credit report without any notice. Second, this account is OVER ten years old. Given the age of the debt, Reliant is purposely and knowingly providing false information as well as scavenging old debt and presenting it to the credit bureaus as a new debt, one that is well beyond time barred.

Company: DISCOVER BANK
State: IN

Complaint narrative:
My complaint is actually with a Discover Bank policy. Specifically, I went online as I wanted to dispute a debit card transaction ( have already tried to contact the payee, run-around ). I went online to do so and clicked to dispute it ( see attached screen print ). My question/complaint is... In this day & age when companies WANT, BEG, REQUIRE you to do everything online, WHY does Discover Bank REQUIRE you to phone in ( and potentially endure long hold times, etc. )? Not to mention, doing by phone leaves me, the customer, with NO proof or evidence that I filed the dispute... online would ( even if it's just screen prints ). And then, when I did call in, by now my first question was just this, Why was I unable to do online, why was I required to call in. 

Much to my surprise, she was unable to answer my question without first verifying me. I then inquired WHY did I need to be verified for a general, non-account-specific question? Long story short, she was going to transfer me to tech support. I stated " Tech support doesn't make your corporate policy, that comes from management... they only right the code required to implement/follow policy. '' She then transferred me to another person ... This XXXX lady 's answer to my question was, " because that's our policy! '' She further, rather rudely, informed me " Your company can make their policies, but we have ours. '' This is very true, and I fully agree every company/business needs policies and procedures. However, they should make sense. Requiring someone to verify before answering a GENERAL, NON-ACCOUNT-SPECIFIC question makes absolutely NO sense! Also, " because that's our policy '' also does NOT answer the " why '' the policy question! She then transferred me to <someone>... I held awhile waiting and finally hung-up! A TOTAL waste of my time on this entire phone call, and I still don't have the dispute filed yet... it would've been done long ago if I could've done online.
