Issue: Attempts to collect debt not owed — Debt was result of identity theft
Company: Collection Management Holdings, LLC
State: TX

Complaint narrative:
On [ XX/XX/XXXX ], I discovered a collection account on my credit report that I did not authorize or open. Believing this to be the result of identity theft or unauthorized reporting, I disputed the account with the credit reporting agencies and requested verification from the company. 

I specifically asked the company to provide a copy of the original signed agreement or contract showing I am legally responsible for this account. Instead of providing this documentation, the company continued reporting the account without proper validation. 

This failure to provide proof violates my rights under the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ), which requires accurate reporting and verification of disputed information. I am requesting that this unauthorized account be removed from my credit file immediately.

Complaint narrative:
You have reported inaccurate and unauthorized accounts on my credit report, which is a violation of the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( 15 U.S. Code 1681i ) requiring a proper reinvestigation of disputed items, and 1681e ( b ), which mandates maximum possible accuracy. These false entries are damaging and unjust, especially since Ive never opened or authorized these accounts. If you fail to investigate and correct this, I may pursue legal action under the FCRA and FDCPA ( 15 U.S. Code 1692e ) for deceptive and misleading reporting.

Company: EQUIFAX, INC.
State: GA

Complaint narrative:
My credit report has certain accounts that I'm not familiar with. Since I never gave them permission, they could be the product of identity theft. Having previously discussed this with you, I'm writing to request that these accounts be promptly deleted from my report in compliance with the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ), which mandates that credit bureaus rectify erroneous information on consumer credit reports. These accounts have caused me stress because they are on my report. It's been difficult to deal with the impact because they don't represent my financial responsibility or credit history. I'm ready to take legal action to protect my rights and find a solution under the FCRA if we can't work this out. The inaccurate items that appear on my credit report have been a big obstacle for me. They're getting in the way of my important financial goals, like buying a house and taking care of my family. I hope we can resolve this issue quickly.

State: TX

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 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.

This is a violation of both 15 U.S. Code 1681b ( 2 ) and 15 U.S. Code 1681c-2. This leads way to civil liability against the credit reporting agency for negligent and willful noncompliance under 15 U.S. Code 1681n, which allows for {$1000.00} per violation, for account listed without my expressed written consent.

Company: Security Credit Services, LLC
State: SC

Complaint narrative:
I am writing to dispute inaccurate information being reported on my credit file. The same account is showing up under two different company names : Security Credit ServicesXXXX XXXX XXXX  This is the same alleged debt, but it is being reported as if it came from two different creditors. That is misleading, confusing, and unfairly damaging to my credit profile.

Heres the problem : The account details ( balance, dates, history ) match, which shows its the same account.

Reporting it under two different names makes it look like I have two separate negative accounts when its only one.

This type of duplicate reporting inflates the damage to my credit and is not accurate.

Company: EQUIFAX, INC.
State: MS

Complaint narrative:
I requested a full file disclosure from Equifax under FCRA 609 / 15 U.S.C. 1681g ( a ). Equifax failed to provide a complete disclosure. The report omitted full account histories, complete DOFDs, records of investigations, the sources of reported information, and the list of parties that received my file in the past two years.

Equifax also allows creditors to continue reporting cancelled debts as charge-offs even after IRS Form 1099-C was issued. This is inaccurate reporting and violates FCRA 623 ( a ) ( 1 ) ( A ) and 623 ( a ) ( 2 ). Equifaxs refusal to supply a complete disclosure and its acceptance of false reporting has harmed my creditworthiness and violates the FCRA.
