Product: Credit reporting or other personal consumer reports — Credit reporting
Issue: Improper use of your report — Reporting company used your report improperly
Company: EQUIFAX, INC.
State: CA

Complaint narrative:
SEE ATTACHED FTC AND UCC 11 RESULTS FOR ALL FALSE LEIN HOLDERS AND A-L FINANCIAL ACCOUNT.

Blatant Violation of Consumer Rights and Potential Securities Fraud It has come to my extreme dissatisfaction that no clear and conspicuous consent was ever obtained from myself, the consumer, for the furnishing of credit reports by any creditor or credit reporting agency ( CRA ). Neither written nor verbal permission was granted for the reporting of my transactions, nor was I ever informed about the distribution of my personal information to third parties.

This blatant disregard for the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ) and the Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act ( GLBA ) is unacceptable. Congress explicitly prohibits the reporting of my non-public personal information without my clear and conspicuous opt-out, as outlined in 15 USC 6802 ( b ) ( 1 ). Despite this legal requirement, my information has been used by creditors, third-party debt collectors, and CRAs like XXXX, Equifax, and XXXX, not only resulting in identity theft but also potentially constituting securities fraud. 

Furthermore, my explicit request over XXXX months ago to block and remove these reports, as mandated by 15 USC 1681C-2, has been ignored. This blatant disregard for the legal timeframe of four days for processing such requests is a further sign of your negligence.

Be warned : 15 USC 1681 ( b ) demands that CRAs implement reasonable procedures for handling consumer credit information with fairness and equity. This includes ensuring confidentiality, accuracy, and proper utilization of data, all of which have been demonstrably violated in my case.

Your continued furnishing of these reports without my consent opens the door to potential securities fraud charges under my Congressional findings.

I demand immediate action. Cease and desist all further reporting of my personal information without my explicit authorization. Additionally, I expect a full and swift investigation into this matter, including the removal of all inaccurate information from my credit reports within the legal timeframe. 

Consider this a formal warning. I will not hesitate to pursue legal action against all involved parties if these violations persist.

Issue: Incorrect information on your report — Account status incorrect
Company: CITIBANK, N.A.
State: CA

Complaint narrative:
I called to report unauthorized charges on my card and was told for security purposes they would be canceling that card and sending me a new one while they investigated. Rather than cancelling and closing that account they opened up a whole new one for me that I was unaware of with the same balance owed so now I have XXXX accounts showing up on my credit report as delinquent rather than only XXXX! They never let me know the outcome of the investigation either and because of XXXX accounts being delinquent my score has significantly decreased to the point that now that I've lost my job and can't afford my rent I can't even get approved for a loan anywhere when I had an XXXX XXXX XXXX prior to obtaining this card!

Issue: Written notification about debt — Didn't receive enough information to verify debt
Company: EQUIFAX, INC.
State: MD

Complaint narrative:
I am writing to formally lodge a complaint against XXXX, a debt collection agency that has violated my consumer rights as protected under the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act ( FDCPA ). I believe that this agency has engaged in deceptive and prohibited practices by listing and attempting to collect a debt they do not legally own. Despite request for verification and validation along with proof of alleged debt via certified mail, XXXX stated they are not required to send notices through certified mail. 
XXXX has no authority to furnish any account to consumer reporting agencies without providing any and all disclosures required by law and they are in clear violation of 12 CFR1006.34 ( d ) and 15 USC 1681-S2 ( XXXX ) ( A ). Based on XXXX 's response to the CFPB complaint submitted on XX/XX/2024 ( document attached ), XXXX is not the owner of the account and should not have sent nor listed the account to be reported to my consumer reports thus damaging my credit, adversely affecting my credit score and causing significant undue stress by violating my rights. In my previous complaint, I revoked all rights of XXXX communicating through email/text/telephone calls. On XX/XX/2024, I received a voicemail from XXXX which is a violation of my rights.

Complaint narrative:
On XX/XX/XXXX I contacted MoneyTree Inc. to ensure that there was no outstanding loans under my name as I had been a victim of Identity Fraud previously with them. I was advised that there was an outstanding account dating back to XXXX. I repeatedly advised that it was not mine, and the rep said she would " dispute '' the account. 

I was then contacted by Dispute Rep XXXX on XX/XX/XXXX by phone. I again explained to her that it was not my account, although she attempted to label it as such. She then began to ask personal questions such as : COMPLETE Work History Father 's Name I answered the questions, and then figured out she was trying to " update '' their system in an effort to make me liable for the fraudulent account. I advised her that I had FTC reports, as well as a few Police Reports outlining that I had been a victim of Identity Theft. At no point was I provided information to help identify the source of the fraud. 

On XX/XX/XXXX, I received a call from XXXX again. She left a rude message " asking '' for the fraud paperwork ( my police reports ). At no point was I asked for a Fraud Packet ( with affidavit ) or provided one. I then called back to the office to submit a formal complaint because of the treatment of this matter. I spoke with a " Supervisor '' XXXX, who advised me that the calls were not recorded. I advised her that due to the abhorrent treatment, I would be filing with the appropriate governing agencies.
