Product: Credit reporting or other personal consumer reports — Credit reporting
Issue: Incorrect information on your report — Information belongs to someone else
Company: Experian Information Solutions Inc.
State: NJ

Complaint narrative:
Dear Sir/Madam, I am writing to dispute recent fraudulent activity associated with my credit report. XXXX XXXX XXXX and XXXX XXXX is reporting to the credit bureaus I have an account with them and. I do not or ever have. I have reason to believe that fraudulent verification of debt has occurred without any contractual basis or sufficient evidence. 
Upon reviewing the documentation AND the information from representatives of both parties, it has become apparent that the verification process was not conducted properly & solely through audio recordings, with no accompanying contract or agreement. This raises significant concerns regarding the legitimacy and legality of the verification process. 
As a responsible customer, I have always maintained clear and transparent communication regarding my financial obligations. However, the absence of a formal contract or agreement undermines the integrity of this process and casts doubt on the validity of the verification. 
Furthermore, relying solely on things like audio recordings for debt verification lacks transparency and fails to provide adequate evidence to support the process. Without a written agreement outlining the terms and conditions of the debt verification ( WHICH CAN ALSO BE FABRICATED ), I can not accept the validity of this process. 
I kindly request that both XXXX XXXX XXXX and XXXX XXXX ( XXXX ) BE REMOVED OR provide me with the following information to address this matter : A copy of the original contract FROM THE DEALERSHIP THIS LOAN WAS ESTABLISHED FROM. 
Any documentation supporting the use of audio recordings as a valid method of debt verification. 
Clarification on how the verification process was conducted and how it complies with relevant regulations and legal standards.

Company: EQUIFAX, INC.

Complaint narrative:
( I'm sorry if this goes to the wrong place, but none of the options presented in the filtering tree came particularly close to the problem I wanted to write about. ) I recently set up a myequifax account on Equifax.com, the credit reporting agency. When I log in with my email address and password, I can see all of the financial and personal information they have available on me. I was astounded to realize that there is no way to set up multi-factor authentication for this account, so anyone can use a brute-force attack or random password generator to access my information. Even worse, Equifax offers multi-factor authentication services TO OTHER BUSINESSES, so how hard can it be for them to set this up for their own customers? I have no idea who to go to about this, except someone like yourself, and beg you to please do something about this to minimize the number of people who's highly sensitive financial information is being exposed. Thank you!!!

Company: Rocket Mortgage, LLC

Complaint narrative:
I submitted my XXXX XXXX information to Rocket Mortgage in XX/XX/year> to be added to my escrow. It was terminated because Rocket Mortgage never paid it. I spent months thinking I had XXXX insurance to find out after a hurricane that I did not. Then I spent months trying to get XXXX  insurance added to my escrow. Rocket Mortgage would not add it because it said I already had a XXXX insurance policy. I did not, but Rocket Mortgage said I did. They took my money to pay for it. They were not paying for it. I finally got XXXX insurance added after 10 months of trying. Today I received a letter saying that Rocket Mortgage is going to charge me {$730.00} for not having XXXX insurance. They are the only reason I did not have XXXX insurance. This can not be legal, and needs to be fixed. 

This is a copy of the last email I have sent Rocket Mortgage

Company: Rocket Mortgage, LLC
State: AZ

Complaint narrative:
During the beginning of the year in XXXX, my previous employer underwent some financial hardship which directly affected our household income. We tried to manage for sometime before we got into a place where we could no longer manage. Our bills were starting to back up and we did not want our mortgage to default. They reassured us that it would not but it was their policy is that we had to default on our mortgage in order to be eligible for any assistance. 

So in XXXX of XXXX we reached out to Rocket Mortgage to see what our options were such as a loan modification. They said the could help us by putting us on a forbearance for 3 months to reduce our mortgage payment while we try to get ahead and look for another job. During our call they said we would have to default on our mortgage in order to be eligible for any assistance. This was a little scary because we did not want to foreclose on our property. They just didn't know what that looked like but when we defaulted and applied for the application for success they would have a better idea what we would be eligible for. So we did default on our mortgage from the direction of Rocket Mortgage. Then on XX/XX/XXXX we were approved for the application for success to be put on a forbearance for 3 months at a monthly payment of {$1000.00}. Our regular mortgage is {$2000.00}. We completed the 3 month trial period as per the direction of Rocket Mortgage. Our 3 months were up and we still needed some more time to get in a better place. So they approved us for another 3 month forbearance at {$820.00}. We completed the XXXXXXXX XXXX month forbearance trial as per Rocket Mortgage guidelines. They stated that as long as we complete the trial within their guidelines, we would be eligible for a loan modification to bring the mortgage current. So both trials were completed successfully. Once the XXXX trial was completed, Rocket Mortgage stated we were approved for a loan modification to bring our mortgage current. There was no payment reductions but they were able to bring the forbearance difference and put it on the back end of the mortgage by simply doing a loan modification. On XX/XX/XXXX the loan modification was approved. 

Rocket Mortgage stated when the mortgage becomes current from the loan modification, our credit report would not show late in any way. It would roll off like nothing every happened just as long as we stick to the guidelines of the forbearance and loan modification. As of today XX/XX/XXXX it still shows on our credit report preventing us from being approved for any loans and student aid for our children. 

I contacted Rocket Mortgage again on XX/XX/XXXX and they said there was nothing they could do for us.

Company: EQUIFAX, INC.
State: IL

Complaint narrative:
" I am writing to formally file a complaint regarding unauthorized accounts that persist on my credit report despite my repeated efforts to have them removed. These accounts are causing significant damage to my financial reputation and overall well-being. It is evident that the inclusion of these fraudulent items violates 15 USC 1681b regarding permissible purposes, as the credit bureaus have no legitimate reason to report them without my explicit consent. Please refer to the attached file detailing these items I am disputing.

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 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. ''
