Issue: Attempts to collect debt not owed — Debt is not yours
Company: American Coradius International LLC
State: CT

Complaint narrative:
In XX/XX/2020 I received a telephone call from a company claiming they were collecting a debt I owed on behalf of XXXX XXXX. I told the caller I believed the information was incorrect and would contact XXXX myself. Caller tried to stop me by stating that wouldn't work, etc ; I basically cut them off and said I will contact XXXX and hung up the call. 

I have accounts with XXXX and have funds available in both accounts so this information seemed wrong. I called XXXX and reported the call to the XXXX representative. XXXX confirmed that I owed them no debt ; they checked my active accounts and did a general search using just my name. XXXX told me they are not involved in this collection attempt. 

Now in XXXX I have received a written request to settle this same false debt from a company called American Cordius International LLC. I have a copy of this written request from this company and will upload this below. 

I am reporting this false debt collection attempt to you and am simultaneously sending a registered letter to this company informing them that this debt is false and they are not to contact me again.

Company: CITIBANK, N.A.
State: NY

Complaint narrative:
I contact Citibank via chat in the online banking to remove ( or set to XXXX  ) the cash advance limit on my card. 
The representative said I have to do it over the phone. 
I called, and I was told this is not an option, I don't have the option to remove cash advance limit on my card. Meaning that if the card is lost or stolen, or misused by the store/website, it could count as a cash advance with very high fees. 

She said she was going to double check, and the call was disconnected abruptly. 

These attitudes prevent me from expanding my relationship with you. XXXX XXXX did it in less than one minute online, and that is just one of the reasons they receive many thousands of dollars in business from me and my family.

Company: EQUIFAX, INC.
State: PA

Complaint narrative:
I have sent numerous disputes to Equifax regarding the misreported information on my credit file. Equifax has ignored my request to provide me with the documents that their company supposedly has on file that they claim was used to verify the inaccurate accounts I disputed. Being that they have gone past the 30-day mark and can not verify these accounts, under Section 611 ( 5 ) ( A ) of the FCRA- they are required by law to " promptly delete all information which can not be verified ". As I stated prior I have sent numerous disputes and each time Equifax tells me that they've contacted the company and my accounts are accurate and verified. Equifax can not verify that my accounts are accurate because the company says it's verified this is misreporting and this company does not follow proper protocols. This company has failed to accurately verify my accounts with the information they claim to have on file for me. Below are  the accounts I constantly dispute, and each time I am being told that they are accurate because the company says they are. I constantly request that the companies alleging these accounts and Equifax send me actual PROOF documents bearing my signature to substantiate the alleged account belong to me and they never send them.
