Issue: Attempts to collect debt not owed — Debt is not yours
Company: W&A Intermediate Co., LLC
State: NM

Complaint narrative:
I have no idea where this " medical debt '' came from!! I showed up one day on my XXXX XXXX  report and said it was an account opened with collections in XX/XX/XXXX, but from where?? I have not received anything for collections and I've had insurance so no idea where this is from. It's also effecting my credit score. It says they aren't allowed to use that on credit scores as of XX/XX/XXXX. The random amounts being charged are {$2400.00}, {$730.00}, and {$2000.00}. These amounts are also constantly going up on amounts/accounts I do not own and am not responsible for.

Complaint narrative:
The Fair Credit Reporting Act ( 15 U.S. Code 1681 ) says ( XXXX ) 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.

Issue: Problem with a company's investigation into an existing problem — Investigation took more than 30 days
Company: Experian Information Solutions Inc.
State: TN

Complaint narrative:
I previously submitted a letter addressing the inaccuracies and unfamiliar items on my credit report. However, it has now been over 30 days, and I have not received a response. It appears my disputes are being disregarded, which raises serious concerns. Under Section 611 ( a ) of the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ), credit reporting agencies are required to investigate disputed items within 30 days. If they fail to do so, these items must be removed from my report.

As more than 30 days have passed, I expect immediate updates to my credit report reflecting the removal of these disputed accounts. Should this not be addressed promptly, I will be left with no option but to pursue legal action to resolve this issue, as the continued inaction has caused significant stress.

Moreover, I was affected by the Equifax, Experian, and TransUnion data breaches, which heightens my concern regarding the security and handling of my personal information.

Company: Experian Information Solutions Inc.
State: NC

Complaint narrative:
This is a problem with Equifax and Experian reporting of an account on my credit report. 

The item is reporting as late 50 times! It is showing as being written off, that is accurate. If its written off they have conceded the right to accumulate the late notices which they never sent to me and never posted to my account. It wasn't until I started disputing this item that they were concerned about the account.

Equifax and Experian are conspiring to hold my credit score back and they are allowing this inaccurate and malicious information to continue to stay on my account. XXXXXXXX  has removed the account in question when I protested or disputed it, this is how I know that Experian and Equifax are conducting predatory practices such as this and then not doing anything. They would rather support the bank rather than the consumer.

Complaint narrative:
To Whom It May Concern, I am formally filing a dispute under the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ) regarding inaccurate, incomplete, and unverifiable information on my credit report. The following items are listed with issues, applicable laws, and a detailed explanation. I request immediate reinvestigation and deletion where verification can not be substantiated in writing 1. ACCOUNT DISPUTE XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX Date Opened : XX/XX/XXXX Balance Owed : {$20000.00} Status : Late Payment * * LAW : FCRA 15 U.S.C 1681s-2 prohibits the furnishing of inaccurate information by data furnishers and requires the consumer reporting agency to conduct a reasonable investigation upon notice of dispute ISSUE : This account is inaccurately marked with late payments which I dispute as I never received proper billing or delinquency notice, nor did I agree to the timeline reported STORY : I maintained all my communication and payments within the agreed timeframe and any lapse is due to the creditors failure to deliver statements to my current verified address which I can prove with supporting documents. This account being reported as late is not only false but damaging to my credit profile. Please verify with original documents or delete this account entirely from my report 1. INQUIRY DISPUTE CREDITONEBK Date : XX/XX/XXXX LAW : FCRA 15 U.S.C 1681b limits permissible purposes for pulling consumer reports and mandates consumer consent for such pulls ISSUE : I have not initiated any credit request or authorized any inquiry from XXXX XXXX XXXX  on this date or prior STORY : I had no intention of opening a line of credit or interacting with XXXX XXXX  on or around XX/XX/XXXX. This inquiry is unauthorized and likely pulled without my informed consent which is unlawful. I am demanding that this inquiry be removed from all three credit bureau reports Conclusion I request your agency compel the credit reporting bureaus to perform a full reinvestigation into each of these items within 30 days per FCRA 611. If any of these items can not be verified with full documentation, they must be deleted from my credit file permanently. I have the right to accurate, fair, and substantiated reporting, and I demand compliance with all applicable federal laws.

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.

I have previously disputed with Experian, Equifax and XXXX regarding multiple accounts that are inaccurate. As of today, I have not received any responses or proof that they are doing proper investigation with my dispute. They ignored my rights to obtain an accurate credit report. They are non-compliant with the FCRA. These erroneous reports are badly hurting my credibility. I'm certain that my rights as a consumer protected under the law have been violated by this inaccurate information.
