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: PA

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 TILA US Code 1666B since I was never late. " I recently reviewed my consumer report and noticed an incorrect late payment record. I have always maintained timely payments on this account. Under the Fair Credit Billing Act ( FCBA ) and the Truth in Lending Act ( TILA ), creditors are required to accurately report consumer transactions and provide a mechanism for correcting errors in a timely manner. Please conduct an investigation into this matter, and if you can not provide documentary evidence of these supposed late payments, I demand these payments to be updated to on time as they should be as I was NEVER late. I expect these updates to be made promptly, in compliance with the law.

Product: Debt collection — I do not know
Issue: Attempts to collect debt not owed — Debt is not yours
Company: Spring Oaks Capital, LLC
State: GA

Complaint narrative:
In light of a recent data breach that compromised my personal information, I am requesting a more thorough investigation and validation of this account. Specifically, I am requesting that Spring Oaks Capital provide the following documentation, as permitted under the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act ( FDCPA ), to validate this debt : A complete account history including the original creditors name, the full payment history, and the itemization of the current balance. 
A copy of the original signed agreement or application bearing my signature, which clearly connects me to the alleged account. 
Proof that Spring Oaks Capital has the legal right to collect this debt, including a chain of custody from the original creditor ( XXXX XXXX ) to XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX, and then to Spring Oaks Capital, including any transfer/assignment agreements. 
Documentation that verifies this account was not the result of identity theft or fraud, particularly in light of the data breach mentioned. 
I dispute the validity of this debt and request that Spring Oaks Capital cease reporting this account until it has been properly validated as required under the FDCPA and the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ). Reporting a disputed debt without clear validation is a potential violation of both federal statutes. 

Until such time that these materials are provided, I request that this account be marked as " disputed by consumer '' on all credit reports, and that all collections activity and credit reporting cease immediately. 

Please confirm receipt of this rebuttal and provide a response within the required 30-day window under the FCRA and FDCPA. 

Sincerely, XXXX XXXX

Complaint narrative:
I received two hard inquiries today in the morning before noon because I received a notification from XXXX XXXX and when I opened it I saw that my credit score has dropped XXXX points on Equifax and dropped XXXX points on Transunion. The reason for the hard inquiry said for XXXX  XXXX on Equifax and Transunion. I have never in my life applied for a loan or another credit card, this is getting unbelievable because it happened to me also last month on the exact same day the XXXX. XX/XX/XXXX they gave my Transunion a hard inquiry for something by the name Of XXXXXXXX XXXX  which I also did not do, Ive never applied for anything to involve a credit check. Now I have 3 hard inquirys on my credit that I havent applied for. This is going to affect me heavily in the future if I actually do want to apply for another credit card or apply for a loan. Both the of these happened today on XX/XX/XXXX and the third one happened on XX/XX/XXXX. Its very weird that they both happened a month apart from each other. I screenshotted the number to the Equifax on the XXXX XXXX app right after I saw the hard inquiry and credit score drop.
