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:
To whom it may concern : I am a victim of identity theft. The information listed below, which appears on my credit report, does not relate to any transaction ( s ) that I have made. It is the result of identity theft. 

The fraudulent accounts appearing on my Equifax credit report are XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX  and XXXX. 
The unauthorized and fraudulent inquiries appearing on my Equifax credit report are : XXXX, XXXX XXXX, XXXX XXXX XXXX, XXXX and XXXX XXXX XXXX. 

I sent a request to Equifax to have all of the incorrect information removed from my credit report, Pursuant to section 605B of the Fair Credit Reporting Act. I have sent them all the required documents ( Police report, Identity verification, Credit report with the false info circled ) but Equifax did not take any action regarding the incorrect and fraudulent information on my credit report. Equifax within minutes in most cases sent me an automated email saying your investigation is complete. Meanwhile, the two other credit bureaus removed the fraudulent info but Equifax sent a robotic automated response refusing to do anything. This is completely against the section 605B of the Fair Credit Reporting Act and Equifax should be held accountable. 

Their actions are hurting me and my family massively. 

Claims/Disputes # with Equifax are XXXX XXXX, XXXX, XXXX, XXXX, XXXX, XXXX, XXXX, XXXX, XXXX, XXXX, XXXX, XXXX, XXXX, XXXX, XXXX, XXXX, XXXX. 

Please make Equifax comply with the Fair Credit Reporting Act and remove all incorrect/fraudulent information as the result of Identity theft from my credit file. 
I appreciate your prompt attention to this matter, and await your reply. 

Sincerely, XXXX XXXX XXXX

Issue: Dealing with your lender or servicer — Trouble with how payments are being handled
Company: EdFinancial Services
State: WI

Complaint narrative:
My loan lender is making it impossible to pay off my student loans before interest resumed. 

I made several online payments that did not go through. My bank said the issue was not on their end. Ed Financial could not provide me with an explanation as to why the payments were not working online.

I wanted to pay the balance off before the interest resumed. So I mailed a cashiers check. The check included my full name, account number, and social security number. The check was chased according to my Bank by Ed Financial on XX/XX/2023 and as of XX/XX/2023 the check still has not been applied to my account. 

I reached out to Ed financial and they claim they lost the check and can not find it. I sent them a copy of the cashed check. They still will not apply it to my account balance.

My loan is now incurring interest after 2 months of trying over and over again to pay it off. They still can not find the check that they cashed.

Complaint narrative:
Hello I have been letting Equifax, XXXX, and XXXX know that my identity was stolen on XX/XX/2023 and that these individuals stole my ID ( drivers license ), as well as my social security number as well. These individuals have been calling to verify account balances and personal information that was also stolen from me and I made all 3 credit bureaus aware. Ive also filed a formal police report and they have done nothing at all in regards to this issue. No one I have been reporting this to has taken this matter serious at all. So I am filing complaints to CFPB to try and get some type of help or resolution or guidance on what to do.

Company: SYNCHRONY FINANCIAL
State: FL

Complaint narrative:
Synchrony Bank has long ago locked me out of my credit card accounts which has prevented me from viewing my monthly account statements and making payments. Again, I demand that Synchrony bank sent me monthly statements for every one of my accounts for the last 14 months via US Mail and via an attachment to your response in the CFPB portal. Moreover, I urgently need the entire card agreement for each of the accounts so that I may view it along with statements which you must provide. I have downloaded various account agreements for different accounts from the CFPB database but I need to receive the agreements from you in the event data submitted to the CFPB is not accurate and complete. Due to your past refusal to provide me with data and agreements and comply with your obligation of the FCRA, I have claims against you significantly greater than your disputed claims. I hereby elect, choose and demand that we resolve our disputes with the XXXX which is the only available forum for dispute resolution. You must file your claims against me with the XXXX for IN PERSON hearings.

Company: Collection Management Holdings, LLC
State: TX

Complaint narrative:
I already paid this other debt collection that was {$90.00} on XXXX XXXX. I have documentation of proof that I paid it off. After that I did not receive any other debt collection since I thought it was already paid off and when I spoke to the debt collector which was XXXX XXXX XXXX on the phone he told me I dont owe anything. So why am I being charged again for a crazy amount of {$620.00}? This debt was from the hospital bill in 2019 and i never stopped paying it off through mall, I was giving $ XXXX  monthly however the hospital ( XXXX XXXX XXXX, I think they changed their name to that ) was not satisfied and took me to the debt collector. Keep in mind the hospital did not provided me any service.I couldnt contact the hospital because it got shut done during COVID. Keep in mind this debt took a toll on me personally, they ruined my credit score and whenever I dispute the case to the debt collectors and let them know that it was already paid. They responded by saying that its supposedly accurate and they did not responded about the other debt that I paid. I dont understand whats going on. They are truly being wrongful.
