Company: EQUIFAX, INC.
State: TX

Complaint narrative:
I am XXXX XXXX, and I'm submitting this complaint myself, and there is NO THIRD PARTY INVOLVED. I, XXXX XXXX, consumer and natural person, have been a victim of identity theft pursuant to 15 USC 1681a ( Q ) ( 3 ) under the FCRA. I have filed an identity theft report pursuant to 15 USC 1681a ( Q ) ( 4 ). Just an FYI : I understand pursuant to 15 USC 1681c-2 ( c ) that you have the authority to decline or rescind but be warned that declining to block the following information that resulted in identity theft without providing me with my written authority of it to be furnished in the first place will constitute as Aggravated Identity Theft pursuant to 18 U.S. Code 1028A. Aggravated Identity theft carries a criminal liability of up to 2 years imprisonment. I assure you the information that I am presenting to you was not blocked in error. There's an account from XXXX XXXX XXXX reporting on my consumer report that is fraudulently furnished without my lawful authority. This unauthorized access of my credit report has with forethought and malice cause me to receive substantial harm and damage to my financial reputation as a result of it being furnished on there. This is a violation of the Gram-Leach-Bliley Act. I receive no benefit whatsoever for this account to still be reporting on my consumer report. Pursuant to 15 USC 1681 ( a ) ( 4 ), this is an invasion of my privacy.

Company: TRANSUNION INTERMEDIATE HOLDINGS, INC.
State: CA

Complaint narrative:
Upon reviewing my updates, the incorrect information was still found in my reports which I believe has been taken care of due to the written appeals I sent. The last letter sent to XXXX and TransUnion was XX/XX/2022, but no response was ever received from them to date. Thus, their action has violated the Fair Credit Reporting Act, 15 USC Sections 1681i, which states that continued reports of unverified information without any proof provided, within the time allowed by law, is not authorized. The account listed below are still reporting on my Credit Reports and need to update immediately : XXXX XXXX Balance : {$7900.00}

Complaint narrative:
As a consumer, I actually have protection under the law that is delivered to me to secure me from misinformation simply being noted on my credit report. But despite all the complaints I sent to CFPB and Transunion, nothing has changed! So once again, I would like to request the suppression of the account from my credit report, which is the result of a fraudulent item origination and identity theft. Im attaching the required FTC Report for you ( which complies with FCRA Section 603 ( q ) ( 4 ) which states ( 4 ) The term " identity theft report '' has the meaning given that term by rule of the Bureau, and means, at a minimum, a report ( A ) that alleges an identity theft ; ) B ) that is a copy of an official, valid report filed by a consumer with an appropriate Federal, State, or local law enforcement agency, including the United States XXXX XXXX XXXX, or such other government agency deemed appropriate by the Bureau ; and ( C ) the filing of which subjects the person filing the report to criminal penalties relating to the filing of false information if, in fact, the information in the report is false. ) The following report included this language but Transunion is neglecting to process it to the letter of the law. Please see they are held accountable for as this is impacting my life in emotionally, physically & financially... and I would truly not what to pursue a legal remedy...

Product: Debt collection — I do not know
Issue: Attempts to collect debt not owed — Debt was result of identity theft
Company: Debt Recovery Solutions, LLC
State: TX

Complaint narrative:
I was contacted by the DRS ( Debt Recovery Solutions ) about a debt with a payday loan company ( XXXX XXXX XXXX ). I have never used such a loan company. I requested documentation for the debt XX/XX/XXXX. I repeated my request for supporting documentation on XX/XX/XXXX, XX/XX/XXXX and XXXX with no supporting documentation provided. 

On XX/XX/XXXX I contacted the original owner of the debt directly. They informed me they had not been contacted for additional information about this debt by DRS. Further they informed me the money was paid to an account at a bank I have no accounts with. I confirmed this via phone call with the bank ( XXXX XXXX ). Also my credit report lists no account in my name with this bank. 

I disputed the collection with the XXXX major credit reporting agencies. XXXX reported that DRS " CERTIFIED '' the debt was valid and declined to remove the item in collections from my credit report. 

Finally today after XXXX months DRS agreed to remove the item in collections from my credit report. 

I have been trying to get credit established for a new home construction project while this has been ongoing for the last 2 months which has delayed the start of construction. 

I feel DRS conduct during this time was not in good faith. Their failure to provide information and address my concerns regarding this collection has cost me time on my construction project and time away from work and other obligations.
