Complaint narrative:
Merchants & Medical Credit Corporation , Inc. is communicating false representations to the credit bureaus in multiple ways. 

1. Collector is lying about the opening date in an attempt to unjustly extend the recorded tradeline until XX/XX/XXXX. They report to XXXX that the account was opened in XX/XX/XXXX. However, the statement the collector furnished to me reports XX/XX/XXXX for the opening date. 

2. Collector is lying about the account number to XXXX. Collector furnished an account number to XXXX different from any of the three identifiers printed on the statement. 

3. Collector is lying about the terms to XXXX. They report " 1 months '', however there are no terms. 

I have disputed the item with XXXX. Collector 's agent, XXXX XXXX, in violation of my XXXX letter, contacted me directly. In her correspondence, she states that she believes her reporting is accurate. 

XXXX XXXX and XXXX XXXX are particularly implicated in this fraud because they are signatories to the collector 's correspondence.

On or around XX/XX/XXXX I was alerted by XXXX XXXX about a debt of mine falling into " Collections '' I rushed to see what that was all about as I am very responsible with my debts and take care of my credit as best as possible. As I investigated I see on my Equifax report this supposed account with XXXX XXXX XXXX as being the culprit. Also at the same time I see a new " address '' of mine show up on the Equifax report as well. I do not recognize this XXXX, PA XXXX address at all. I have never lived anywhere outside of XXXX XXXX and have no business at all linking me to this electric utilities company and much less living in the state of Pennsylvania. I am certain this has to be a huge mistake by Equifax or my identity has been stolen. Oddly enough I have no other negative remarks on record nor anything else has shown up on either of the buraus monitored by XXXX XXXX or XXXX. I strive to keep my credit in top shape. All my accounts are in good standing. And I pride myself for being a responsible adult, specially in these matters. Nonetheless my biggest gripe apart from this huge burden being laid upon me, is that when attempting to file a dispute with Equifax as so graciously XXXX XXXX guides me to do, I am unable to do so as the forced process that requires me to log into MyEquifax seems to be broken. I've been trying to log in to complete this dispute claim and have this looked into yet every single time I attempt to I am met with a " We are temporarily unable to complete this request. Please try again later. '' message. It has been this way for the past 2 weeks almost and no help over the phone either.
