Issue: Improper use of your report — Reporting company used your report improperly
Company: Experian Information Solutions Inc.
State: NJ

Complaint narrative:
I am concerned about the validity and accuracy of your recent investigation of these accounts that are reporting on my credit report. Last month I requested an investigation because I felt the item was not being reported legally. Couple of days ago I received a letter stating that you have ceased investigation of my credit reports because, in your opinion, you believe that I have used a third party credit repair agency. Not only do I believe this to be a stall tactic on your part to grant you an additional 30 days to comply with my original request, but I believe it to be a blatant violation of the FCRA.

I have attached a copy of my government issued ID as well as mail showing proof of address. So, there shouldnt be any confusion or stall tactics on your end. I have maintained a careful record of my communications with you for the purpose of filing a complaint with the FTC should you continue in your non-compliance.

Issue: Problem with a purchase shown on your statement — Credit card company isn't resolving a dispute about a purchase on your statement
Company: Bread Financial Holdings, Inc.
State: PA

Complaint narrative:
On XX/XX/year> there were 11 purchases totaling {$10000.00} to XXXX on my XXXX XXXX comenity Capital Bank card. This happened all in one day. I was never informed that this was happening at all. I have spoken to XXXX several times. These purchases were not even under my account but, yet somehow they say they came to my address which they never did. I have never in my life spent that kind of money on a credit card. The credit card company should have red flagged this from the start. This is their flawed security problem. According to XXXX they send purchase approvals to the cc company for approval and the CC card company told XXXX it was ok to charge my XXXX card. I was never informed or asked if this was me like all other companies do for security. If they had looked, they would have seen this unusual activity. XXXX has given us information that is in agreement with our fraud claim. However, the XXXX XXXX XXXX 's investigation team continues to send letters via the XXXX telling us we are responsible for the charges. Yet, they will not prove us with ANY proof of such. Due to this wrongful and very distressing situation we will be contacting a legal team. Our local XXXX police are involved as well.

State: NY

Complaint narrative:
I noticed that there are multiple incorrect variations of my name being reported, as well as several outdated addresses that no longer apply to me. These inaccuracies are concerning because they can lead to the misreporting of account information or mistaken identity. Additionally, I discovered at least one hard inquiry that I do not recognize or recall authorizing. I have never given consent for this company to access my credit file, and I believe the inquiry may have been made without a permissible purpose. I have not been contacted by this company nor have I applied for credit with them during the time in question. These reporting issues are misleading and have the potential to impact the accuracy of my credit profile. I am requesting a full investigation into these matters and prompt correction of the disputed information.

Complaint narrative:
On XX/XX/scrub>XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX told me over the phone prior to driving to her acupuncture office, that she accepts my insurance and that my copays would be {$0.00}. When I showed up, I didn't receive any services at all, and she flipped the script and told me she won't accept my insurance and that I would have to pay full price for any office visits with her. I ended up leaving the office, and then I noticed she fraudulently charged my credit card {$75.00}. I NEVER received any services from her so she should not have done this. I went home and disputed the fraudulent charge to Bank of America, and she ended up receiving a letter in the mail stating this. She then proceeds to call me multiple times and leave me a threatening voicemail, then she emails me with more threats. She ended up charging me once again for an additional {$75.00}. Once again, I have NEVER received any services from her office. She keeps committing fraud using my credit card. I disputed this claim too. But the original, first claim that I disputed ended up getting denied. Bank of America is not helping me out whatsoever. Please help me get back my {$150.00} that was fraudulently charged. Bank of America denied both of my claims.

Company: EQUIFAX, INC.

Complaint narrative:
I am writing to dispute an account that is being reported on my credit report, which constitutes a violation of the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ) pursuant to 15 U.S.C. 1681c-2. Therefore, I respectfully request that this information be blocked or deleted immediately. 

I am enclosing a copy of my Identity Theft Report issued by the Federal Trade Commission ( FTC ), FTC REPORT NUMBER : XXXX, as supporting evidence for my claim.

According to 15 U.S.C. 1681c-2, once a consumer submits an identity theft report, credit reporting agencies are legally required to block any information identified by the consumer as resulting from such identity theft within XXXX ( XXXX ) business days. 

The following information in my credit file is the result of a clear FCRA violation and must be blocked immediately : XXXX  / Account Number : XXXX Additionally, 15 U.S.C. 1681b, which states that a credit reporting agency may not include information in a consumers file unless there is a valid authorization or permissible purpose. I never authorized the opening or reporting of this account, and there is no signed contract or consent from me that justifies its inclusion in my credit report. 

Therefore, the continued presence of this account constitutes not only a result of identity theft but also the unauthorized use and disclosure of my personal information, in direct violation of the FCRAs requirements.

In accordance with 15 U.S.C. 1681c-2 and 1681b, I respectfully request that this account be blocked and deleted immediately from my credit report and that it no longer be reported in any manner.

I have contacted Equifax on multiple occasions to report this account, but I have yet to receive a clear or definitive resolution to this matter. This situation is causing me serious harm, as I am in the process of purchasing a new home for my children and seeking financial tools to support my economic growth. These negative accounts are blocking my opportunities and causing both personal and financial damage.

Furthermore, this account has already been deleted by other credit bureaus, as they were unable to verify it under the procedures required by law. I do not understand why this agency continues to report this account on my credit file.

I have also requested copies of any contracts related to this account from the company reporting it, and after more than XXXX  days, I have not received a single response. This further supports the fact that there is no verifiable evidence or legal basis for continuing to report this information. 

I respectfully request that you assist me by removing this account immediately.
