Product: Credit reporting or other personal consumer reports — Credit reporting
Issue: Incorrect information on your report — Information belongs to someone else
Company: EQUIFAX, INC.
State: CA

Complaint narrative:
I reviewed a copy of my credit report and I noticed that there are unauthorized fraud accounts listed on my report. I have previously reached out to the credit bureau to rectify this affair but they have been negligent in complying with my request. I have provided a copy of a FTC REPORT, California state drivers license, and a copy of social security card. Please use the laws and codes that all credit reporting agencies are bound to follow by law as listed and explained below. I dont take my rights being violated lightly but a serious matter. 15 USC 1681 section 604 a section 2 states that " In general Subject to subsection ( c ), any consumer reporting agency may furnish a consumer report under the following circumstances and no other : in accordance with the written instructions of the consumer to whom it relates. '' ( Furnisher of information to credit agencies ) the financial institution and the Consumer reporting agencies Equifax XXXX and XXXX do not have my consent to furnish this information and they surely do not have my written consent. Any and all consent to Equifax, XXXX, XXXX ( XXXXurnisher of information to credit agencies ) whether it be verbal, non-verbal, written, implied or otherwise is revoked. 15 USC 6802 ( b ) ( c ) states that " A financial institution may not disclose nonpublic personal information to a nonaffiliated third party unless the consumer is given an explanation of how the consumer can exercise that nondisclosure option. '' ( Furnisher of information to credit agencies ) Never informed me of my right to exercise my nondisclosure option. Not only that 15 USC 1681C ( a ) ( 5 ) states '' Except as authorized under subsection ( b ), no consumer reporting agency may make any consumer report containing any of the following items of information Any other adverse item of information, other than records of convictions of crimes which antedates the report by more than seven years. '' This account is an adverse item they are reporting again without my permission which is against the law. 15 U.S. Code 1681s2 ( A ) ( 1 ) A states " A person shall not furnish any information relating to a consumer to any consumer reporting agency if the person knows or has reasonable cause to believe that the information is inaccurate. 15 U.S. Code 1681e states '' Every consumer reporting agency shall maintain reasonable procedures designed to avoid violations of section 1681c of this title and to limit the furnishing of consumer reports to the purposes listed under section 1681b of this title. Equifax and XXXX are not maintaining reasonable procedures. Also 12 CFR 1016.7 states that " A consumer may exercise the right to opt out at any time. '' I am opting out of your reporting services. 15 USC 1681i ( 5 ) ( B ) ( ii ) ( ili )

Complaint narrative:
A card was open without my authorization. I never signed up for Citi card {$10000.00} was used and it is showing on my credit report. This was not done with my approval. I have filed a complaint on XX/XX/XXXX of 2024, I filed a police report. I informed Credit companies and locked my credit. I keep getting the runaround. I am now getting calls every other day asking for payment. The only reason why they have my number is because they updated it three weeks ago when I asked them how they were going to contact me because I havent heard anything since XX/XX/XXXX and I kept having to call them, I am not getting anywhere with this company due to the fraud that was done and my credit score is dropping tremendously over something I never did. I dont have the credit card number or account number. This was never sent to me. I am not aware of the charges that are on this card. This card was never in my possession and I never asked for it or signed up for it.

Company: Mandarich Law Group, LLP
State: FL

Complaint narrative:
I had a previous old debt from a credit card that I had defaulted on after a debilitating accident that left me XXXX and unable to work. I went to court when I received the lawsuit information from Madrich Law Group around XXXX. We agreed on a payment plan of {$25.00} a month. I asked to set up the plan on automatic payments. They said they could only set it up for 4 years and I would have to update it once the timeframe was over. The payments came out automatically until XXXX. I contacted them to let them know that I needed to update my banking information and address since I had moved. I confirmed that the payment plan would continue. I was unaware that there was an issue until I received a letter in XXXX saying that I missed payments and went against the agreement. I asked why the payments werent coming out and they said that the notes stated that I called in to discontinue the recurring payments. I said that I would have never done that. All I did was update the billing information. I asked for the recording of the call where I said to cancel payments. They were supposed to have a supervisor review it and contact me. I never heard anything back. I contacted them several times regarding this issue. They would not accept any payments other than the balance in full which I did not have. They dont even have the correct address on file after I updated it. Now I received a judgement letter saying that I refused to pay. This is all untrue. Ive been trying to work with them for years.

Company: Experian Information Solutions Inc.

Complaint narrative:
I hope this letter finds you well. I am writing to address a concerning discrepancy in my credit report regarding late payments on my accounts. Upon reviewing my report, I noticed that late payments were inaccurately listed, which has had a negative impact on my credit score. I contacted the companies associated with these accounts, and they acknowledged that there was an error on their end. They assured me that they would update and correct my accounts to reflect the accurate payment history. They explained that they sent the statement to the wrong address that caused the late payments to be incorrectly reported. I find it perplexing that your bureau continues to report these late payments when other credit bureaus have already corrected the status of the account. This raises questions about the verification process used by your bureau to ensure the accuracy of the information reported.

Violation of 12 CFR 1006.34 ( c ) ( 4 ) ( i ) : I have not been given an opportunity to dispute this account. Under 12 CFR 1006.34 ( c ) ( 4 ) ( i ), consumers must be given a reasonable period to dispute the validity of a debt before it is reported to consumer reporting agencies. 

False and Misleading Representations : Your agency is in violation of consumer rights by using false, misleading, and deceptive means to collect this debt. This is a direct violation of the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act ( FDCPA ). 

Violation of 12 CFR 1006.34 ( d ) and 15 USC 1681s-2 ( a ) ( 7 ) ( A ) : Your agency has no authority to furnish information about this account to any consumer reporting agency without providing all the required disclosures.

In light of these violations, I demand that you immediately : Remove this collection account from my consumer report.

Provide me with written confirmation that this account has been removed from my consumer report. 
Please treat this letter as a formal dispute of this debt under the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act ( FDCPA ) and the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ). Failure to comply with these requests will result in me filing a complaint with the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau ( CFPB ) and potentially seeking legal action. 

I appreciate your prompt attention to this matter and expect a response within 30 days.

That pre-order was from XXXX. I had waited almost a year for my merchandise to come and it never did, so I requested a refund.

They claim to have sent me the documentation i asked on how someone reached the decisions that my money is not eligible for a refund when i havent ( still ) received something I paid for. They sent me a .pdf of their report but when you go to open it, it takes me to their XXXX and consistently tells me i have the wrong password when ive checked a handful of times and verified with my password manager that the password is correct. To this date, XXXX XXXX, I still have not received the merchandise from the retailer, Chime refuses to refund my money, and I have yet to hear a good reason why someone else is entitled to my money when I received nothing.
