Product: Credit reporting or other personal consumer reports — Credit reporting
Issue: Incorrect information on your report — Account information incorrect
Company: EQUIFAX, INC.
State: FL

Complaint narrative:
I am writing to dispute fraudulent information on my credit report pursuant to 15 U.S.C. 1681c-2 and to request that this information be blocked immediately. Enclosed is a copy of my Police Report and FTC Identity Theft Report ( FTC Report Number : XXXX ) to support my identity theft claim. 
Under 15 U.S.C. 1681c-2, once a consumer submits an identity theft report, credit reporting agencies are required to block any information identified as resulting from identity theft within four ( 4 ) business days.

The following information on my credit report is the result of identity theft and should be blocked : Fraudulent Accounts to Be Removed : XXXX ACCOUNT NAME : XXXXXXXX XXXX  ACCOUNT NUMBER : XXXXXXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX * XXXX ACCOUNT NAME : XXXX XXXX  ACCOUNT NUMBER : XXXXXXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX ACCOUNT NAME XXXX XXXX XXXXCCOUNT NUMBER : XXXXXXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX * As required by law, this fraudulent information should be blocked for at least one year, after which I may request an extension of the block. During this time, you may not report this information on my credit file or indicate that my report contains any fraudulent data. 
I have contacted the Equifax on several occasions to report these fraudulent accounts, yet I have not received any resolution. This situation is seriously affecting my ability to qualify for a new home for my children. These same accounts were deleted and not verified by other credit bureaus, which raises serious questions about their legitimacy. 
I have also requested verification and contract documentation from the companies reporting these accounts, and more than 60 days have passed without any response. Therefore, I am requesting immediate action. 
Enclosed is my FTC Identity Theft Report. I respectfully request that you make a fair and just decision regarding my situation. 
Sincerely, XXXX XXXX.

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 my privacy with my consumer report, since I control what is listed and what is not. In the event that any accounts are reported without my written consent, that is considered identity theft.

This is a violation of both 15 U.S. Code 1681b ( 2 ) and 15 U.S. Code 1681c-2. This leads way to civil liability against the credit reporting agency for negligent and willful noncompliance under 15 U.S. Code 1681n, which allows for {$1000.00} per violation, for account listed without my expressed written consent.

Complaint narrative:
Under 15 U.S.C. 1681b ( 2 ), a consumer reporting agency may only provide a consumers credit report with the consumers explicit written authorization.

3. Right to Privacy Section 602 ( A ) of the FCRA The FCRA, under Section 602 ( A ), clearly states that the consumer has a right to privacy with respect to the disclosure of their personal information.

4.

Issue: Problem when making payments — Problem during payment process
Company: GOLDMAN SACHS BANK USA
State: FL

Complaint narrative:
I am submitting this complaint regarding a billing dispute involving my Apple Card, issued by Goldman Sachs Bank USA. 

Approximately a week ago, I updated my bank account information and selected the option to make minimum automatic paymentsas I have consistently done for over a year. However, I was unexpectedly charged the full statement balance of {$270.00}, instead of the usual minimum payment of {$99.00}, which I have reliably paid monthly ( sometimes a few cents more or less, depending on my spending ). 

Additionally, after noticing the unexpected charge, I attempted to change the payment setting back to the minimum payment option via both the Apple Card website and the XXXX XXXX apponly to find that the option was greyed out and unchangeable. This made it impossible to correct or prevent this error on my own, despite having more than a year of consistent minimum payments set up prior to this. 

My cards balance includes XXXX and XXXX subscriptions on six devices, alongside previous purchases of three XXXX and XXXX At no time did I knowingly authorize a payment for the full statement balance. 

I tried resolving this through XXXX XXXX  support, but the session disconnected. I reinitiated the chat, re-explained the issue, and was told to call instead. Over the phone, I had to reiterate my case multiple times. I was transferred to the wrong department and again had to explain everything before being sent to a supervisor. 

I respectfully requested a partial refund of {$170.00}, which is the difference between the {$270.00} charged and my typical {$99.00} minimum payment. I was told the charge could not be canceled or refundedeven though it was still showing as pending on both my bank account and the Apple Card system at the time. I also asked if my next due date could be deferred to XXXX since the overpayment covered more than one cycle ; this too was denied. 

Lastly, I asked if a bank dispute would lead to my refund being honored. The supervisor clearly stated it would not, showing a lack of flexibility or fair resolution.

Complaint narrative:
On or around XX/XX/2024, I discovered multiple unfamiliar accounts and collection entries on my credit report that I did not open or authorize. These include accounts from companies such as XXXX XXXX XXXX, XXXX XXXX XXXX, XXXX, and others, totaling over {$9000.00} in alleged balances. 

I never applied for or used these services, and the accounts were created without my knowledge or consent. Some were listed as collection accounts, while others were marked as charged-off or delinquent, severely impacting my credit. 

What I did : I placed a fraud alert on my credit reports with all three credit bureaus. 

I filed an Identity Theft Report with the Federal Trade Commission. 

I contacted the credit bureaus to begin the dispute process under FCRA Section 605B, requesting the fraudulent items be blocked.

I began gathering evidence such as my credit report, proof of identity, and a police report ( if required ). 

I am also submitting formal dispute letters to each bureau and creditor involved. 

What Im requesting : I am requesting that the companies involved investigate these fraudulent accounts, block them from reporting further damage to my credit, and cease collection attempts. These actions are my effort to reclaim control of my identity and restore my financial standing.
