Company: EQUIFAX, INC.
State: GA

Complaint narrative:
On XX/XX/2022 I filed a complaint with CFPB for identity theft with all three credit bureaus. ( see attachment ) and then sent a handwritten dispute on XX/XX/2022 to all three credit bureaus stating the same. After their investigation, XXXX deleted XXXX XXXX ( account number XXXX ) however, Equifax and XXXX XXXX to leave it on my credit file. ( PLEASE DELETE THE ACCOUNT ) They stated that it was verified as accurate. How did XXXX and Equifax verify the account as accurate? First and foremost I did not provide written permission or instructions for the identified transactions to be reported on my consumer report. Secondly, if all three bureaus did their due diligence in investigating the dispute they would have deleted all the accounts in question. XXXX stated that XXXX XXXX XXXX ( account number XXXX amount {$6500.00} ), ( account number XXXX amount {$1700.00} ), and ( account number XXXX amount {$250.00} ) were verified as accurate. How so when the date of the last payment doesn't match with Equifax 's reports ( see attachment ) whom also stated the accounts were accurate and verified. The Information reporting has to be 100 % accurate. So if an investigation was completed then all credit bureaus should be reporting the same information but they are not! After Equifax 's investigation, they stated that the accounts XXXX XXXX, XXXX XXXX XXXX, and XXXX XXXX XXXX were verified as accurate and modified. If the investigation took place why are there discrepancies in my credit file? Equifax has also reported that payments were made in the last XXXX  months on the charged-off accounts. ( SEE ATTACHMENTS ) This is unacceptable. All three bureaus are in violation of my consumer rights and I just wish they'd do what's fair and equitable to me as the consumer by deleting the items. It's their obligation to make sure that the information reporting is accurate and relevant and they've failed to do so.

Company: Receivable Solutions LLC

Complaint narrative:
There are multiple inquiries on my XXXX credit report that I do not recognize. I have notified XXXX in writing of the unrecognized inquiries and they responded with a letter telling me to contact the companies who received my credit report to find out if they opened an account in my name and that they can investigate and determine it was fraudulent. I do not know who the companies are that accessed my credit report but I know that they did not have my consen or permissible purpose.. The other two credit bureaus XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX  ) did not report those inquiries. XXXX is willfully and knowingly in clear violation of the FCRA amongst other federal regulations and statues. XXXX is taking advantage of the consumer laws by dismissing my dispute without investigation! This problem has caused me much stress and XXXX  and has had a negative impact on my life. 
The second issue with XXXX is an account that is reported as a collection on my account that I do not recognize. I wish to see the original contract with wet signature of mine. It is an alleged debt of over {$4000.00}. I demand to have this account removed from my credit report. I have disputed this account and never even received a letter back from XXXX or notification of an investigation. I do not wish to have to seek counsel regarding these matters but it looks as though I may have no other choice.

Company: Bread Financial Holdings, Inc.
State: NC

Complaint narrative:
On or about XX/XX/22, Comenity Bank added a new account to my credit reports that list the credit card as a Bonton credit card. I have never had a Bonton credit card. 

This Bonton card is a duplicate of another commenity credit card called Carsons. Both account numbers end in XXXX and other data are mostly identical. 

Comenity removed the Carsons account from both my XXXX and XXXX reports leaving just Bonton. They have not removed either the XXXX or Bonton account from XXXX. This duplicate reporting resulted in a significant hit on my credit report. 

Additionally, Comenity provided data information on the Bonton reporting that is slightly different than the Carson reporting which results in a re-aging of the account and makes the Bonton account look like a new derogatory account thereby further hurting my score. 

I have disputed this via XXXX with Comenity confirming the Bonton account. Comenity verified the duplicate reporting which is amazing to me that both accounts can be verified when they are duplicates and report slightly different payment histories, months reviewed and activity designators. Additionally, Comenity added a current date to the Delinquency First Reported date which not only makes the duplicate reporting look as though it recently happened but is completely incorrect.

Complaint narrative:
Trygrain.com I have had an issue paying this company. I was in constant communication with them that their digital platform wouldn't allow me to make a payment. They kept resetting my account according to them and it just wouldn't budge. I am very tech savvy so I know the issue was not with me. This company never gave me another option to make my payment such as a payment address. I am going to attach all of the emails I had with them in regards to this matter. I am very at them because they me up for failure and now it is hurting my Credit Reports and Scores when the issue was and never has been me. I am very furious as I am writing this. I have tried to get this error corrected with them and have had no success. I tried my very best to pay this account with them but now I see that they are reporting it is a negative account on my credit reports. The audacity they have to report my account like that is what really makes me furious when I have tried to pay them. If I didn't want to pay them then I would just take the negative on my Credit Reports and not be writing you the CFPB. I am very frustrated at this matter.
