Complaint narrative:
I have submitted an FTC Identity Theft Affidavit, Report Number : XXXX, to report five fraudulent accounts listed on my Experian consumer FICO credit report, as well as 3 addresses that I do not recognize.

The XXXX XXXX XXXX for verification of these fraudulent accounts is XXXX. The addresses in question are XXXX XXXX XXXX, XXXX, FL ; XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX, Fl ; and XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX, Fl. The fraudulent accounts involved include a charge card account opened at XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXXXX/XX/XXXX, as well as accounts with XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX, and a personal loan account opened at XXXX XXXX.

Complaint narrative:
Despite the multiple previous written requests, the unverified item listed below still remains on my credit report in violation of Federal Law. You are required under the FCRA to have a copy of the original creditor documentation on file to verify that this information is 100 % true, accurate & correct.

In the results of your first investigation and subsequent reinvestigation ( s ), you stated in writing that you verifiedthat this item is being reported correctly? Who verified this item? You have NOT provided me a copy of ANY original documentation ( a consumer contract with my signature on it ) as required under Section 609 ( a ) ( 1 ) ( A ) & Section 611 ( a ) ( 1 ) ( A ). Furthermore, you have failed to provide the method of verification as required under Section 611 ( a ) ( 7 ). Please be advised that under Section 611 ( a ) ( 5 ) ( A ) of the FCRA you are required to ... promptly CORRECT or DELETE all information which can not be verified. Section 616 and Section 617 provide me with a remedy which Im about to seek. You are willful non-complying with the FCRA.

Since you claim youve verified the items listed below I wanted to confirm my thoughts and contacted the companies directly. They did not provide me with any verifiable proof. So, my question comes up again, WHO VERIFIED THESE ITEMS? I believe you have not verified these items based on Section 609 ( a ) ( 1 ) ( A ) & Section 611 ( a ) ( 1 ) ( A ) & I will be seeking a legal remedy.

Company: EQUIFAX, INC.

Complaint narrative:
A month ago, I submitted a complaint to these Bureaus, but the incorrect information on my report is still there. I haven't heard back from them, aside from your notification that the company has replied to my complaint. How can I trust that they've properly investigated the inaccuracies? What steps did they take to verify the accounts? This entire situation is really frustrating, especially since it's been over 30 days since I filed my complaint.

Issue: Improper use of your report — Reporting company used your report improperly
Company: Experian Information Solutions Inc.
State: FL

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: EQUIFAX, INC.
State: IN

Complaint narrative:
My account with EQUIFAX XXXX XXXX was never late! I have had exceptional payment history with XXXX  XXXX and all payments were placed on Autopay. This late payment that is reporting is a result on a systematic error on their end processing my payment.

This was clearly a billing error made my the company and is not a reflection of my payment experience which violates USC Code 1681eb. This error has caused severe hard to my reputation, my character, my mode of living and to my family!

I demand the late payment to be updated.

They are not in compliance with the following law. 15 USC 1666b and its requirements set the standards and the guidance for a creditor to treat a payment as late, yet they are reporting a payment as late and they did not comply with the law!

15 USC 1666b ( a ) Time to make payments A creditor may not treat a payment on a credit card account under an open end consumer credit plan as late for any purpose, unless the creditor has adopted reasonable procedures designed to ensure that each periodic statement including the information required by section 1637 ( b ) of this title is mailed or delivered to the consumer not later than 21 days before the payment due date. 


EQUIFAX XXXX XXXX Never Sent the periodic statement along with the disclosures from section 1637 ( b ).

I have requested proof that this information was mailed or delivered 21 days before the payment due date and this information was requested in good faith pursuant rule 1002 and It was never provided. 


This is unfair, illegal, fraudulent, and not equitable to me as a consumer! 


Delete the late payments from my consumer reports

Complaint narrative:
Two days ago on XX/XX/XXXX I picked up a check from my lawyer for a lawsuit that I won. I took it to my bank to deposit it ( Capitol One 360 ), the bank said it will clear the next day on XX/XX/XXXX. I checked my account and it showed the amount of the deposit being available {$5200.00} 5 minutes later I get an email saying the funds would be put on hold for 7 days. I called Capital One 360 an the representative informed me that they would need to call my attorney for him to confirm the check. They called my attorney but didn't reach him, so I called him and he picked up and said he just got in the office, I told him that my bank wants him to confirm the check, he says he normally doesn't do this and he has never heard of a bank calling him to confirm a check he gave to his client. Capital One 360 called him and he told them he didn't feel comfortable giving out banking information over the phone, because of a lot of scams going on in the country. The representative told me although he wouldn't confirm it, that my funds would be released by end of day, which was yesterday XX/XX/XXXX. I woke up this morning the funds were still not available, I called Capital One 360 back and and ask to speak to the supervisor, the supervisor got on the phone being rude and basically told me that they were not releasing the funds for 7 days. I informed her that the agent I spoke to yesterday on XX/XX/XXXX assured me that my money would be available to Me by today. I also reminded her that sense calls are recorded for training purposes, that they can go back and check the recordings of the agent telling me my money would be released by end of day on XX/XX/XXXX. The supervisor told me it does not matter there is still a seven day hold on the money.
