Issue: Incorrect information on your report — Information belongs to someone else
Company: EQUIFAX, INC.
State: MA

Complaint narrative:
I am writing to seek your assistance regarding a matter of identity theft that has had a significant and detrimental impact on my credit health. A credit card was fraudulently opened in my name with XXXX XXXX, leading to a charge-off amount of {$13000.00}. This incident has resulted in an unwarranted 100-point drop in my credit score, unfairly penalizing me for circumstances beyond my control. Despite my efforts to resolve this issue, including filing a police report, an identity theft report with the Federal Trade Commission ( FTC ), contacting the involved bank, and disputing the fraudulent account with the credit bureaus, my case has not been resolved. The credit bureaus have refused to conduct an investigation or remove the fraudulent account on my credit reports. This refusal to act not only exacerbates the injustice of the situation but also leaves me, the victim of identity theft, to suffer the financial consequences.

Complaint narrative:
In XX/XX/2020 I had a procedure to remove a XXXX from a local XXXX I did not have insurance, so I was quoted a cash price of {$900.00}. I paid the {$900.00} but then I received an additional bill for {$500.00} six months later. I asked for paperwork substantiating the bill and I was offered none. I started making payments directly to the Doctor. After I paid off the bill, I was sent a check for {$40.00} from the Doctor. So I thought that I had overpaid. 3 months later I get a bill for {$80.00} from a credit collection firm. I overpaid for my procedure and do not owe them any money. It needs to come off of my credit. You can see that I pay all of my bill sin full and on time. I refuse to be strong armed by a greedy doctor who made a mistake.

Complaint narrative:
On XX/XX/XXXX I wrote to XXXX, the Executive VP at TransUnion stating that the credit reporting agency violated my rights as an American consumer by sharing my personal, non public information without my consent. 15 USC 1681 ( b ) Permissible purpose of consumer reports, clearly states that any consumer reporting agency may furnish a consumer report under the following circumstances and No Other. They need your written consent to add anything to consumer report if you did not give this authorization. There is also an exclusion, which states that reporting transactional data is, in fact, illegal. 15 USC 6802 ( a ) ( b ) Obligations with respect to Personal Information and 12 CFR 1022.3 defines Identity Theft as fraud committed or attempted using the identifying information of another person without authorization. Anything added to your report without written Consent is considered identity theft. 15 USC 1681 ( n ) Civil liability for willful noncompliance and in general ; Any person who willfully fails to comply with any requirement imposed under this subchapter with respect to any consumer is liable to that consumer in the amount equal to the sum of. ( A ) and ( B ). And finally the Privacy Act of XXXX ( b ) Conditions of Disclosure.

On top of that, there are multiple inquiries on my credit report that should not be there. 15 USC 1681 ( b ) Permissible Purposes clearly states that if the consumer does not have an open account with the lender that inquired, they have to remove the inquiry OR send the documentation that they used to verify the open account. I also requested that they remove any address listed on my report besides the one listed on my letterhead, for they are Non-Mailable addresses and should not be there. In my letter I clearly stated that This information was obtained unlawfully and failure to act would make them liable. This letter was sent in XXXX, it is now XXXX, and in their response they claimed that they can basically do whatever they want and no changes were made to my report. This gross negligence has caused immense damage to my quality of life and has hindered my ability to pursue happiness. Willful non-compliance can easily be proven with record of the original letter, their written response, and their failure to comply. I request IMMEDIATE action to remedy this violation of my consumer rights.

This is a catalog of women 's clothing and they issued me a credit card which I did not want. Then they kept hounding me with their catalogs so I broke down and ordered XXXX items, which when they arrived were the wrong size and cheap material, so I returned them using their instructions as to how to do it. I received an email from them stating they had received the items back, but instead of writing off the charge ( {$63.00} ) they issued a credit for me to use at any of their other companies, which I did not want and have not used. However they continued to leave the charge on their billing and have now added late fees and interest bringing it upto {$17000.00}! Comenity Bank took it over and have filed DELINQUENT notices on my credit reports! No money ever changed hands in this and I do not owe anything as I have no merchandise from them!

I lodged a complaint with these Bureaus a month ago, but unfortunately, the inaccurate information on my report still remains. I haven't received any communication from the Bureaus, except for the notification that you sent stating that the company has responded to my complaint. How can I be certain that they have thoroughly checked the inaccuracies on my report? What methods did they employ to validate the accounts? This whole situation is incredibly frustrating! It's been more than 30 days since I filed a complaint with these Bureaus, and yet the disputed accounts have not been updated. If this continues, I will have no choice but to take legal action due to the immense stress this has caused me. Moreover, I am also concerned about the security of my personal data, as it was affected by the XXXX, Experian, and XXXX data breach.
