Complaint narrative:
In accordance with the Fair Credit Reporting Act, XXXX XXXX XXXX, has violated my rights. 

15 U.S.C 1681 section 602 A. States I have the right to privacy.

15 U.S.C 1681 Section 604 A Section 2 : It also states a consumer reporting agency can not furnish a account without my written instructions 15 U.S.C 1666B : A creditor may not treat a payment on a credit card account under an open end consumer credit plan as late for any purpose The goal in the headline of the letter is always to setup a situation where the burden of proof relies on the consumer reporting agency ( Credit Bureau ). You do not want to make a specific claim about a specific account in the first-round investigation request letter. The reasoning for this is called factual disputing methodology. Making a claim of Not Mine or Never had account when the account is yours invalidates the claim if it is in fact yours. Write as if you are a consumer without the fancy jargon in this round to prevent it being misinterpreted as coming from a credit repair company. 
You cant go wrong with quoting 15 U.S.C. Sec. 1681i, since it is very broad and covers Procedures in case of disputed accuracy. 1681i ( a ) ( 1 ) ( A ), 1681i ( a ) ( 1 ) ( B ), and 1681i ( a ) ( 1 ) ( C ) covers the general investigation overview, the extension of the period to reinvestigate, and the limitations on extension of the period to investigate, while 1681i ( a ) ( 2 ) covers the promptness in how the bureaus must handle the notifications. 1681i ( a ) ( 3 ) covers if and how the bureaus can determine if a dispute is frivolous or irrelevant, all the way to 1681i ( f ) ( 3 ) where it governs how a CRA notifies a consumer through a reseller ( XXXX XXXX ) ( MyFICO ) and others who furnish third party disputes free of charge, etc. 

Please investigate if every piece of information is correct. If not, please remove it from my credit

Company: ENCORE CAPITAL GROUP INC.
State: MI

Complaint narrative:
My debt is to XXXX I gave notice to cancel service in XX/XX/2021. They continued to charge me. We all know one may not continue service, we would be disconnected after a month of non payment. The hardware was not working, which I gave them notice but they continually charged me. Apparently 2 months after I moved I was charged installation fees as well. I was pretty much homeless. I moved my address to a relatives so I could receive mail XX/XX/2021. Midland Credit has simply refused to acknowledge my calls. I will not give my social security number for the sake of security. They ( several employees ) refuse to work with me after I've given them the account XXXX XXXXXXXX. 
This is ridiculous, at best. I've tried to reason, as I think, possibly, the new tenants may have used my name to continue service. Now, my wages are being garnished for equipment that is out dated and didn't work and the account should have been closed months prior. 
I'm willing to agree to {$250.00} for the services I MAY have owed but no more. I'm being financially XXXX. Midland credit management is a disgrace. If they were a reputable company they would have sent the information I had asked for.

Company: EQUIFAX, INC.
State: SC

Complaint narrative:
On XX/XX/2023 I received a copy of my credit report from XXXX, Equifax and XXXX. After receiving my report, I noticed that there were inaccuracies on some of my accounts. I sent letters to XXXX, Equifax and XXXX on XX/XX/2023 asking them to investigate the accounts and ensure that they are 100 % accurate ( see attached documents for tracking numbers and letters ). Equifax received my letter on XX/XX/2023 at XXXX. XXXX received my letter on XX/XX/2023 at XXXX. XXXX received my letter on XX/XX/2023 at XXXX. I received letters back from Equifax and XXXX showing that they had completed their investigations into the accounts. I did not receive a letter back from XXXX. I received a new copy of my credit report from XXXX, Equifax and XXXX on XX/XX/2023. This is 30 days after my letters were received. Upon looking at my reports, I noticed that there were still inaccuracies. 

On XX/XX/2023 I submitted a complaint to the CFPB about the inaccuracies. Experian Complaint ID is XXXX. Equifax XXXX ID is XXXX. XXXX Complaint ID is XXXX. XXXX Responded on XX/XX/2023. Equifax Responded on XX/XX/2023. XXXX Responded on On XX/XX/2023 I pulled new copies of my credit reports AND THERE ARE STILL INACCURACIES. This will be my THIRD TIME trying to resolve these issues. I do not understand why I am being pushed around by the credit bureaus. I do not understand how the credit Bureaus are able to tell me that ALL INFORMATION IS CORRECT, but report completely different information! This is my last time trying to resolve this issue before seeking financial compensation FOR EACH INACCURACY. 

According to the FCRA a credit reporting agency 's role in a dispute is to review accuracy and completeness of any disputed item. PLEASE EXPLAIN WHY THERE ARE STILL INACCURACIES BEING REPORTED IF YOU ACTUALLY REVIEWED MY DISPUTE! 

On Account Name : XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX Account Number : XXXX and Account Name : XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX  Account Number : XXXX, everything is wrong! This one really takes the cake you guys. Please don't make me dispute this again. Look at it. You know you are wrong and it is really insulting to tell me that it is accurate. Give me a break. First the same account is being reported as two completely different accounts. Equifax, you barely have no information at all. XXXX, you have some more information, but its all completely different than what equifax has. If you do nothing to resolve this, I'm going to know that your dispute investigations are bogus and I'm getting a lawyer because this is ridiculous. LOOK AT IT AND TELL ME IT '' S NOT INACCURATE!

Company: JPMORGAN CHASE & CO.
State: CA

Complaint narrative:
On XX/XX/XXXX, my wife, a 12 year chase customer, gave me, a 4 year chase customer, a check for {$7000.00} towards down payment on a purchase. I deposited the check via the mobile app. I later found out Chase flagged this check down as fraud, but did not notify either me or my wife. The check showed to clear in my account via the app, and my account showed XXXX $ total. 

On XX/XX/2023, I went to the chase atm to withdraw {$300.00} but was denied as it said my account was locked. I went into a branch and the manager told me my account is on hold as chase had flagged the check from my wife as fraud. I explained that it was a check from My wife and asked what we can do. After an hour and half of phone calls between the manager, chases fraud department, and me. The manager told me my wife has to call in and thats the only way to do it. 

I told my wife this, who tried several Times to call the fraud department and clear the check, only to be told that she can not and that the fraud department has to call her instead. We called together to find out what to do next, we were told that the only way to clear up this alleged fraud is to have the fraud department call the check issuer ( my wife ) and have her authenticate it, but they can not call her because her phone number can not be verified by their verification service ( XXXX ). Despite my wifes phone number to be a XXXX  account in her name that she has had for over 20 years. 
Furthermore, the rep told us that if this doesnt get resolved within the next 10 days, they will close my account, send me a check for the balance, but the {$7000.00} from the check in question will be sent to the treasure department as fraud! 

We ended up going to a local branch. Several hours later the manager scanned both mine and my wifes drivers licenses and debit cards and sent them to the fraud department as proof that we are both there and saying this check is legit. Then Told us they have to send this to a back office which has to clear the hold, and it will take 45 minutes. 

We went back home, and I returned to the branch an hour later. My account was still on hold. I went back to the manager XXXX XXXX, the only helpful person at chase ), who told me that despite him sending them our drivers licenses and debit card as proof, the check was still denied as fraud and they still cant verify her phone number to call her. 

I never felt so hopeless in my life, I honestly thought the money was gone. I told XXXX the manager I was not leaving until something was resolved and we spent the next 2 hours making 25 phone calls to regional managers, directors, eventually they cleared the check, I immediately withdrew all my money and went to XXXX. I ended up spending a from XXXX until XXXX XXXX  dealing with this and feeling completely powerless to do anything about it. The most horrible banking experience of my Life.
