On XX/XX/23, My case was approved for XXXX XXXX discharge. The next day, XX/XX/23, XXXXXXXX XXXX XXXX called with a robot call that told me to press one to make a payment.

They mentioned a different name and XXXX Bank, and then an amount I could not catch. I went to the website and learned by my social security number this collection company was on my credit report. XXXX XXXX XXXXXXXX XXXX. This debtor is all over my credit report. I am also learning and am ashamed to share that my son may have stolen my identity using several different names.

Issue: Incorrect information on your report — Personal information incorrect
Company: EQUIFAX, INC.
State: LA

Complaint narrative:
I have attempted on multiple occasions to correct my name on Equifax, without success. I sent them the paperwork they required on all of these occasions ( XX/XX/XXXX, XX/XX/XXXX, XX/XX/XXXX ). The name that currently shows on my credit report when I go to my account is that of my ex-husband ( XXXX ). I have legally changed my name back to my maiden name ( XXXX ). Equifax refuses to change my name, despite the information I sent them, which included my social security card, drivers license, and divorce decree confirming that I could return to using my maiden name. 

Equifax does not have any option on their phone contact to actually speak to a representative- the only thing that a person hears is the automated system. They also do not list an email contact or any other way of getting in touch with someone who may be able to assist with this issue.

Company: Bread Financial Holdings, Inc.
State: CO

Complaint narrative:
I first received an alert from several of my credit monitoring sites that a Comenity Bank just took a hard look at my credit report! I then tried to call this XXXX bank to ask what the XXXX they are doing checking my credit reports and there is no way to contact these people without giving them an account number. I then tried online and same thing. Apparently this is for some type of an XXXX XXXX card credit card that I did not apply for, nor would I ever apply for. I am not sure if this XXXX bank and their tactics are a fishing attempt to get me to apply for this credit card. I take pride in my credit rating and when I loose points for these credit history searches that could cost me in the future from gaining the best interest rates on loans, it XXXX me off. I just received a letter from this bank about this credit card, that they need me to call them within 14 days because they have to confirm some information they do not have. Sounds like fraud or stolen identity fishing to me. I also went thru this situation about 15 years ago when several banks and credit collectors were contacting me about debt that did not belong to me but another XXXX XXXX with same middle name initial. That is what corrected that problem. I am not dealing with these XXXX banks. I just wanted to let you know in case this bank is pulling this XXXX on others, then hopefully they can do something about this. Also tell this XXXX bank to list a service number so I can stop this application for credit
