Product: Credit reporting or other personal consumer reports — Credit reporting
Issue: Incorrect information on your report — Public record information inaccurate
Company: EQUIFAX, INC.
State: CA

Complaint narrative:
The credit reporting agencies have inaccurately attributed a bankruptcy listing to the US Bankruptcy Court as the source of this information. This data can not be substantiated or validated, as the courts do not engage in the verification of bankruptcy listings. Instead, this information was obtained from a third-party reporting agency and should therefore be removed. 

According to the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ) Section 623 ( a ) ( 5 ), if the credit bureau is unable to validate information with the original creditor, they are obligated to remove it from the consumer 's credit file. The Bankruptcy Courts have also confirmed that they do not furnish information to credit reporting agencies and do not validate or confirm public records. These records are collected by credit reporting agencies and third-party providers, and they are not validated by the U.S. Court system due to privacy laws.

Inquiries made to the U.S. Bankruptcy Courts have verified that XXXX Credit Bureau has never validated or verified these public record entries on my credit report, nor will they do so in the future. It has been emphasized that the U.S. Bankruptcy Courts are not liable for the misuse or dissemination of incorrect public records, often reported by third parties without the consumer 's knowledge. 

Given the potential violation of the Fair Credit Reporting Act, I am requesting the immediate permanent deletion of the bankruptcy information associated with my social security number from my credit report. XXXX Credit Bureau is also required to provide me with copies of all documentation related to these Public Record Accounts, including any court orders or authorizations bearing my signature, which would authorize the inclusion of this information in my credit report. 

To comply with the Federal Credit Reporting Act, Section 609 ( a ) ( 1 ) ( a ), you are obligated by federal law to physically verify the original signed consumer contract and/or judgments for all accounts and public information reported on credit reports. Failure to do so could lead to the inclusion of fraudulent or erroneous account information. 

If this unauthorized public record information is not removed from my credit report within the next 30 days, I reserve the right to pursue legal action against the XXXX Credit Reporting Bureau. I will seek damages of no less than {$5000.00} for various reasons, including but not limited to defamation, negligent enhancement of identity fraud, violation of the Fair Credit Reporting Act, and Consumer Financial Protection Bureau regulations. 
Please make these credit reporting agencies comply, XXXX XXXX XXXX

Complaint narrative:
Equifax has been reporting consumer transactions improperly. 15USC 1681a ( d ) ( 2 ) ( A ) ( 1 ) clearly states that transactions between the consumer and the Person/Corporation making the report are NOT included on the consumer reports. XXXX continues to report this information. The reporting of excluded information pursuant to 15USC 1681a ( d ) ( 2 ) ( A ) ( 1 ) on a Consumer report is a clear violation of Metro2 compliance. Provide me with the Metro2 compliance disclosure on reporting transactions to a Consumer Reporting Agency. I need the the transactions reporting as late, Collection/Charge Off status and any other derogatory information deleted from my Consumer reports effective immediately. Before you assume to reply that this account has been " Validated '', let 's be transparent that I am not asking you to validate or verify anything. So please do not respond with that as a tactic to waste my valuable time. Some of the negative accounts have been placed in Collection/Charge-Off status WITHOUT mailing me a copy of IRS form 1099-C Cancellation of Debt. Equifax & the creditors reporting Collections/Charge-Offs, late payments/other derogatory information in my consumer report are in violation of 26USC ss 6050p Returns relating to the cancellation of indebtedness by certain entities. If this derogatory information is not deleted from my consumer report within 15 days I will be compelled to officially file IRS 3949A : Information Referral AND IRS form 211 : Application For Award For Original Information Overview with the Internal Revenue Service against all entities involved.

Company: Westlake Services, LLC

Complaint narrative:
Subject : Concerns Regarding My Recent Experience with American Car Center and Westlake Portfolio Dear Sir/Madam, I hope this message finds you well. Approximately two years ago, I made the decision to purchase a vehicle from American Car Center, and throughout this period, I have diligently upheld my financial commitments, ensuring that all payments were made promptly and taking great care of the vehicle in question. 

However, in XX/XX/2023, I was taken aback by the sudden and unanticipated news that American Car Center had filed for bankruptcy. In my earnest efforts to seek clarification and resolve this matter, I attempted to establish contact with the company, only to discover that their phone lines and email channels had become non-operational, presumably due to the closure of their business. 

It was only through a chance encounter on XXXX that I learned of the acquisition of outstanding debts by Westlake Portfolio. Determined to address this issue responsibly, I promptly reached out to Westlake Portfolio to ascertain the status of my account. Regrettably, my initial correspondence yielded no results, as they were unable to locate my information in their records. 

Subsequently, I began receiving calls from Westlake Portfolio asserting that I owed them the original purchase price, an amount exceeding {$25000.00}. In light of this unexpected demand, I took it upon myself to request a copy of my contractual agreement as a means of verifying the validity of this claim. I believe it is only fair and reasonable to request such documentation, particularly considering that I never entered into any contractual agreement with Westlake Portfolio.

To my dismay, Westlake Portfolio failed to fulfill my request for a copy of the contract. Instead, I was shocked to discover that they had initiated the repossession of the vehicle in question. This action is both perplexing and unjustifiable, as I maintain that I do not owe any debt to Westlake Portfolio. 

In light of these circumstances, I feel compelled to express my deep concern and dissatisfaction regarding the handling of my account and the absence of transparency throughout this process. It is my sincere hope that this matter can be resolved promptly and fairly, with the provision of the necessary documentation to validate any claims against me. 

I kindly request that you address this matter with the utmost urgency, as the actions taken by Westlake Portfolio have caused me undue distress and inconvenience. I believe in the importance of a fair and just resolution to this issue and look forward to your prompt response. 

Sincerely, XXXX XXXX
