Company: Experian Information Solutions Inc.
State: WA

Complaint narrative:
I want to report that I am the victim of identity theft, The following is a detailed account of how my personal information was compromised during a sophisticated IRSimpersonation phone scam in XXXX, leading to multiple unauthorized accounts and derogatory tradelines appearing on my credit reports.In XXXX, I received a call from a person claiming to be an IRS agent and claimed that I owed back taxes that needed immediate payment to avoid arrest or legal action. Believing the call was legitimate, I provided my Social Security number, date of birth, and the last four digits of my Washington drivers license. I later discovered that this call was part of a sophisticated IRSimpersonation scam. The fraudster used the information I provided to open multiple consumer credit accounts, lines of credit, and collection accounts in my name. These accounts were opened without my knowledge or authorization. I never received goods, credit cards, or statements associated with these accounts at my home address. While preparing mortgage paperwork, I pulled my consumer credit reports and discovered ( 23 ) tradelines and multiple unfamiliar inquiries dated between XXXX and XXXX which I did not open or authorize. I immediately began contacting furnishers, collecting application records where available, and gathering documentation to support an identitytheft dispute.

Complaint narrative:
I walked into a Wells Fargo bank branch on XX/XX/year> at XXXX XXXX XXXX in XXXX XXXX NY, XXXX to make a large withdrawal that was more than XXXX. I complied with the branch by providing my license, bank card, wrote down my social security number as well. Next was the questions I had to ask to and one of them was what kind of work I do and I thought that was very odd. Not the teller but some guy called out my name iwhile there was people waiting on line and I did not like that, this was the same person that asked what kind of work I do. They had me on the line for like XXXX  mins, they exposed me and my business letting everyone know on line I came there to make a large withdrawal, exposing my money. I was not aware of what was going at first until some guy on line said to me its my own XXXX money! I felt mistreated, discriminated, unfairly, and I felt scared for the people that was on line knowing I made a big withdrawal of funds. After everything was fine they put the money in an envelope and then put it in a brown paper bag. At that time I felt some kind of way like they me feel like I was criminal just by withdrawing my own money from my account! I am wanting to file a lawsuit against the branch for exposing my business on line instead of of sitting me down privately asking questions and handling my money privately and they did not do that! By the time I walked out the branch I was scared because someone couldve robbed me and it was during the holidays. I have never in my life had to go through what Ive been through in any other bank!.. I did not feel safe at all and was very uncomfortable. The matter is that they should have sat me down privately!

Company: EQUIFAX, INC.
State: TX

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 TILA US Code 1666B since I was never late. " I recently reviewed my consumer report and noticed an incorrect late payment record. I have always maintained timely payments on this account. Under the Fair Credit Billing Act ( FCBA ) and the Truth in Lending Act ( TILA ), creditors are required to accurately report consumer transactions and provide a mechanism for correcting errors in a timely manner. Please conduct an investigation into this matter, and if you can not provide documentary evidence of these supposed late payments, I demand these payments to be updated to on time as they should be as I was NEVER late. I expect these updates to be made promptly, in compliance with the law.
