Complaint narrative:
Finding unauthorized accounts, credit inquiries, and false personal information made or reported without my knowledge or agreement completely stunned and grieved me. I've tried to get clarification from the creditors, but they have blatantly refused to give it to me. I demand that the creditors act immediately and be transparent. The creditors must submit pertinent application materials, show proof of express authority for each query, and give comprehensive details about each account and inquiry, including dates, purposes, and the kinds of credit products involved. To see what I'm complaining about, please refer to the attached file!

Issue: Incorrect information on your report — Account information incorrect
Company: EQUIFAX, INC.
State: MD

Complaint narrative:
I discovered an unauthorized and inaccurate collection account on my credit report from EQUIFAX, associated with XXXX XXXX, Account Number : XXXXXXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX account number XXXXXXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX. This account does not belong to me, and I have no knowledge of its origin. I formally disputed this account with the credit bureau, requesting verification and removal based on my rights under the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ), specifically Sections 611 ( 15 U.S.C. 1681i ), 609 ( 15 U.S.C. 1681g ), and 623 ( 15 U.S.C. 1681s-2 ), as well as the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act ( FDCPA ), specifically Sections 809 ( 15 U.S.C. 1692g ) and 807 ( 15 U.S.C. 1692e ). 

Despite my formal dispute and request for a thorough investigation, EQUIFAX, has continued to report this account without verifying its accuracy or providing me with documentation supporting its validity. This violates my rights under the FCRA, as credit bureaus are required to conduct a reasonable investigation and must not report inaccurate or unverifiable information. Notably, failure to comply with these requirements has been underscored by precedents such as XXXX XXXX XXXX Mortgage XXXX, XXXX XXXX CSC Credit Services, and XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX Bank, NA. 

This inaccurate information is damaging my credit score and affecting my financial standing. I believe that the credit bureaus failure to properly investigate and respond to my dispute is a direct violation of the FCRA, causing me unnecessary harm.

Complaint narrative:
As a direct result of a recent data breach, my personally identifiable information was compromised and misused without my knowledge or consent.

Company: EQUIFAX, INC.
State: TX

Complaint narrative:
I mailed a formal dispute letter to Equifax and Experian regarding a collection account reported by XXXXXXXX XXXX XXXX ( original creditor : XXXX XXXX XXXX, Account # ending in * XXXX ). 
I disputed a false payment entry reported on XX/XX/year>, which I did not make. I requested written verification, documentation, and a full reinvestigation in accordance with the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ), citing violations of 1681e ( b ) and 1681i ( a ). 
Although Equifax responded with a generic dispute result stating the creditor verified the balance, they did not provide : Any documentation validating the XX/XX/XXXX payment, A description of the reinvestigation process, or Any explanation of how the disputed item was verified. 
This failure to provide required information and properly investigate violates the FCRA. I am attaching my original dispute letter and Equifaxs response. I am requesting that the CFPB compel Equifax to either provide full documentation or delete the inaccurate entry from my report.

Company: ENCORE CAPITAL GROUP INC.

Complaint narrative:
MCM began collection attempts after allegedly purchasing the debt on XX/XX/XXXX. I disputed the debt in XX/XX/XXXX and XX/XX/XXXX, requesting validation, including an unredacted forward flow agreement and proof the debt was not securitized. MCM provided a redacted Bill of Sale ( XX/XX/XXXX ) and non-specific Affidavit ( XX/XX/XXXX ), which are invalid. In XX/XX/XXXX, MCM, via XXXX XXXX XXXX, XXXX, threatened a lawsuit based on inaccurate credit data. My XXXX  report ( XX/XX/XXXX ) confirms MCMs errors, and XXXX XXXX tradeline removal obscures the debts history ( e.g., XXXX XX/XX/XXXX, XXXX XX/XX/XXXX ). These actions lowered my credit score, affecting loan applications, and caused stress. As of today XX/XX/XXXX, I have been served with court papers.

Issue: Getting a loan or lease — Loan opened without my consent or knowledge
Company: TD BANK US HOLDING COMPANY
State: FL

Complaint narrative:
In XXXX, a vehicle loan was fraudulently opened in my name through TD Auto Finance without my knowledge or consent. I did not apply for this loan, nor did I sign any application or related documents. I only found out about the account after receiving alerts from my credit report a couple of months later. 

When I contacted TD Auto Finance to dispute the loan and report it as fraud, I was repeatedly asked to verify personal information about the loan ( such as the address used or contract terms ) information I do not know because I did not open the account. I explained multiple times that this was identity theft, not a forgotten loan. 

I requested a full account statement including all documents, transaction history, and loan details. TD Auto has not provided this, and the account continues to damage my credit. Their failure to verify the identity of the person who applied for this loan is unacceptable and has caused me significant distress. 

I am requesting that this account be removed from my credit report, closed entirely, and confirmed in writing that I am not liable. I also want the full account documentation for my records.

These false entries are damaging and unjust, especially since Ive never opened or authorized these accounts.

Company: W&A Intermediate Co., LLC
State: TX

Complaint narrative:
Ive tried speaking directly with the on-site manager, but I have been met with resistance, dismissiveness, and what feels like personal bias. Ive also sent a certified letter detailing a broader pattern of mistreatment, including : Repeated false accusations regarding smoke and noise complaintswith police and security confirming no violations. 

Targeted surveillance and suspicion, including attempts to blame me for building-wide issues, even when I wasnt home. 

Harassment and threats, including a noise violation with an immediate eviction warning and refusal to allow me to respond or defend myself. 

Inconsistent enforcement of policieswhile other residents openly smoke or park without registration without consequence. 

All of this has left me feeling isolated, stressed, and unfairly targeted in a place that should feel like home. I have video and written evidence supporting my claims and would be happy to share it upon request. 

I am not trying to cause problems. I want nothing more than to continue living peacefully at XXXX XXXX XXXX. I do not disturb others, and I have gone out of my way to cooperate with staffeven when Ive felt harassed or accused without cause. 

I am respectfully and urgently requesting : A waiver of the late fees, smoking fine, and towing charges, which I believe were either unjustly applied or exacerbated by circumstances beyond my control. 

A fair review of my account and treatment, including the conduct of on-site staff. 

Assurance that I will not be subject to further retaliation or baseless accusations. 

Please understand this is not just about feesthis is about stability, fairness, and being treated with basic dignity. I am trying to do the right thing, and I am simply asking for compassion and understanding during a very difficult time. 

I sincerely hope we can resolve this matter peacefully. Please respond at your earliest convenience. I am fully prepared to submit all documentation and communicate further to support my request.

Company: EQUIFAX, 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: MOHELA
State: NY

Complaint narrative:
I have been making payments to MOHELA while I was in school last year. I am writing to file a complaint regarding an unresolved issue with three payments I made in XX/XX/year> that have not been applied to my account. 
While I was still enrolled in school last year, I made payments of {$1500.00} on XX/XX/year>, {$2000.00} on XX/XX/year>, and {$4000.00} on XX/XX/year>. Despite these payments, my account does not reflect them. I have contacted MOHELA several times over the past few months about this matter. My most recent communication with MOHELA was in XX/XX/year>, when I contacted their customer service about this issue. I was transferred to an advanced customer service representative and then to a supervisor, who informed me that they could not locate my payments. I provided proof of the payments, including bank statements and confirmation emails I received from MOHELA after each transaction ( attached below ), and was told that my case would be forwarded to the accounting department for resolution. However, the issue still remains unresolved. I am requesting your assistance in ensuring these payments are properly credited to my account. This ongoing delay has caused unnecessary frustration, and I respectfully ask for your prompt attention to this matter. Thank you so much for your time and assistance.
