Issue: Incorrect information on your report — Information belongs to someone else
Company: Experian Information Solutions Inc.
State: NC

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: JPMORGAN CHASE & CO.
State: NY

Complaint narrative:
On Friday XX/XX/year> I was contacted by phone by someone posing as a an employee of Chase bank. It came up as Chase on my caller ID. This man informed me that a woman had opened an online checking account under my maiden name and had managed to link this account to my XXXX and was trying to transfer funds from my Chase account into this new online account. I was given a case number, employee identification numbers and names. I was provided with phone numbers and extensions to reach these people if need be. They never asked for sensitive information which put me at ease despite the situation being extremely distressing, but that seems to be part of their scheme. I was transferred to different departments. They told me we had to do a XXXX XXXX and I had to enter in codes that would send up a flag in the system and add protection to my accounts. Every question I asked they had a legitimate answer for which also put me at ease. This was all false! They conned me into sending XXXX XXXX payments totaling almost {$2000.00} dollars. Specifically : XXXX payment to Chase XXXX - {$990.00} XXXX payment to Chase XXXX - {$980.00} We contacted the bank who informed us that we had most likely been the victim of a phone scam. A complaint was filed. A subsequent investigation yielded nothing from Chase. To find out this is known and has been going on for years is with nothing being done by the banks is very disappointing to say the least.

Complaint narrative:
XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXXXXXX XXXX XXXXXXXX, Virginia XXXX XXXX XXXX XX/XX/year>XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX, Tx XXXX Re : Formal Dispute of Charge-Off Entry under FCRA Account Number : [ XXXX ] Dear Sir/Madam, I am writing to formally dispute the accuracy of a charge-off entry reported on my credit file, referenced by account number [ Account Number ], which is listed under your bureaus credit report. 

Pursuant to my rights under the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ), 15 U.S.C. 1681, I request an immediate investigation into the accuracy and validity of this entry. Specifically, I believe that the charge-off entry is incorrect due to the following reason ( s ) : [ Insert reason for dispute here. For example : I did not authorize the charge-off, as I had been in consistent communication with the creditor and had made timely payments prior to the account being reported as charged off. ] In accordance with 15 U.S.C. 1681i ( a ), I am requesting that you conduct a reasonable investigation into this disputed item. Please provide me with all relevant documentation and evidence that supports the validity of the charge-off, including any communications, notices, or other records that substantiate the charge-off date and the amount involved.

Additionally, under 15 U.S.C. 1681e ( b ), all information on my credit report must be accurate, and I am entitled to a complete and accurate reflection of my credit history. If the charge-off can not be substantiated, I request that it be removed from my credit file immediately. 

I further assert that under 15 U.S.C. 1681i ( a ) ( 6 ), you are required to complete your investigation within 30 days from receipt of this letter. I expect that this matter will be resolved in full compliance with the FCRA, and I request that you notify me in writing of the outcome of your investigation. 

Should the charge-off remain on my credit report without proper evidence or if your investigation does not satisfy the requirements under the FCRA, I will have no choice but to escalate this dispute to the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau ( CFPB ) and/or seek legal counsel for further resolution.

Please provide a written response to my request for information and any updates to the status of the investigation at your earliest convenience. I also request that you send me a copy of the updated credit report once this issue has been resolved. 

Thank you for your attention to this matter. I look forward to your prompt response. 

Sincerely, XXXX XXXX

Company: EQUIFAX, INC.
State: TX

Complaint narrative:
I disputed all negative accounts on my Equifax credit report, and Equifax responded by verifying and updating these accounts instead of properly investigating and removing unverifiable or inaccurate information. The only resolution is the deletion of all negative accounts due to multiple violations of the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ). 

Additionally, I disputed XXXX XXXX Internationals account separately through the CFPB, and their response contradicts Equifaxs verification, proving Equifax failed to properly verify this account.

Violations & Contradictions : Failure to Conduct a Proper Investigation ( FCRA 611 ( a ) ( 1 ) ( A ) ) Equifax did not properly verify negative accounts but instead simply " updated '' them. 
Updating account details does not constitute verificationunverifiable accounts must be deleted, not updated.

Failure to Provide a Method of Verification ( MOV ) ( FCRA 611 ( a ) ( 7 ) ) I requested MOV, yet Equifax failed to provide details on how these accounts were verified.

Equifax is required to disclose who they contacted and how verification was determined, which they failed to do.

Failure to Ensure Maximum Possible Accuracy ( FCRA 607 ( b ) ) There are inconsistent payment histories, balances, and date of first delinquency ( DOFD ) discrepancies across Equifax, XXXX, and XXXX. 
Reporting inconsistent and conflicting data across bureaus is a direct violation of FCRA 607 ( b ).

Illegal Updating Instead of Deletion ( FCRA 611 ( a ) ( 5 ) ( A ) ) After verifying accounts as " accurate, '' Equifax proceeded to update account details, proving that their initial investigation was flawed.

If an account is changed after being verified, this shows that it was never properly verified to begin with and must be deleted. 
Contradiction Between Equifax XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX ( FCRA 605 ( a ), FDCPA 807 ( 2 ) ( A ) ) XXXX XXXX XXXX admitted in their response that the debt is time-barred and uncollectible, yet Equifax still reports it as a valid debt.

This proves Equifax failed to verify this account properly, violating the FCRA & FDCPA.
