Product: Debt collection — I do not know
Issue: Attempts to collect debt not owed — Debt is not yours
Company: EQUIFAX, INC.
State: CA

Complaint narrative:
this is a formal complaint against XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXXXXXX, a third-party debt collector, for violating the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act ( FDCPA ) and to seek monetary relief for the distress and financial harm caused by their actions. 

Complaint Details : * Debt Collector : XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXXXXXX * Account Number : XXXX Nature of Complaint : 1. Lack of Written Notification : XXXXXXXX XXXX XXXX XXXXXXXX did not notify me in writing about the alleged debt before placing it on my credit report. This is a direct violation of the FDCPA, which requires debt collectors to provide written notice of the debt and an opportunity to dispute it before taking adverse action. 
2. No Contract or Business Relationship : I have never engaged in any business with XXXXXXXX XXXX XXXX XXXXXXXX and have no contractual agreement with them. Their claim is unfounded and unauthorized. 
3. Inaccurate Reporting : The account information reported by XXXXXXXX XXXX XXXX XXXXXXXX is inaccurate and incomplete. The balance listed on my credit report does not match any previous obligations, and the presence of " payment terms of 1 month '' is misleading and incorrect for a collection account. 
4. Unauthorized Credit Report Entry : XXXXXXXX XXXX XXXX XXXXXXXX added this account to my credit report without my consent, violating my right to privacy. They have failed to provide any evidence of my consent or their right to report this debt. 

Impact : The actions of XXXXXXXX XXXX XXXX XXXXXXXX have significantly harmed my credit score, caused undue stress, and potentially affected my ability to obtain credit, housing, and employment. Their failure to comply with the FDCPA has also caused emotional distress and financial instability.

Complaint narrative:
Being they had my old #, I received response that we can not confirm your identity. They then explained I needed to upload documents. iTheir system would not upload my documents. So I responded to their message with an attachment of the docs requested. Mind you, this started 3 weeks ago and I just kept receiving computer generated messages telling me to upload the documents. They have no phone number for customer service. When asking for help? I get related articles to read. I did find out today that they have had my documents all this time.

Issue: Incorrect information on your report — Information belongs to someone else
Company: TRANSUNION INTERMEDIATE HOLDINGS, INC.
State: FL

Complaint narrative:
The items listed below are reported on my personal credit file and were found in my reports with 3 credit reporting agencies. These items were opened fraudulently. Ive informed all parties of the issue & provided the necessary documentation to support my claim. The credit reporting agency ( CRA ) & data furnisher ( DF ) are not complying with federal law in regard to identity theft. Additionally, the credit reporting agency & data furnisher have not provided me with any evidence of an open contract, signed contract, or any valid proof this was opened, authorized, or created by me. Since this is a strict violation of FCRA laws I need the items removed from my file.

Issue: Getting a credit card — Card opened without my consent or knowledge
Company: BANK OF AMERICA, NATIONAL ASSOCIATION
State: NJ

Complaint narrative:
I received a physical credit card bill of {$490.00} for XXXX signature account number XXXX from Bank of America on my registered mail address. 

I just have a checking account of bank of America, Never applied for or received any credit card from Bank of America. I do check my ssn enquiry report reqularly, and never received a new SSN enquiry alert in last 2-3 months. When I go to my Bofa Web login, I also don't see any mention of this credit card any where. 

It's an amazing sophisticated fraud that how Bofa opened a credit card on my name without my consent and without any trace of ssn inquiry, or 2 factor authentication. 

I see someone already got a hold of the card and even made a transaction on XXXX XXXX store ( ref no XXXX )
