Complaint narrative:
Unauthorized access to my credit report by several companies has directly damaged both my credit and credit score. I previously contacted your agency and was assured by a representative that these unauthorized inquiries would be removed. That assurance has not been honored, and the inquiries remain. This failure to act is unacceptable.

The continued presence of these unauthorized and potentially fraudulent entries is highly alarming and strongly indicates possible identity theft. This unresolved issue is causing ongoing emotional and financial harm.

Complaint narrative:
Hello, I am submitting a complaint regarding Linebarger Goggan Blair & Sampson. 

I've received multiple voicemails from ( XXXX ) XXXX stating that they were calling on behalf of the XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXXXXXX. Most recent call was today, XXXX. 

To check and see if this was a scam, I XXXX  the phone number, but nothing came up. 

I then decided to call the ( XXXX ) XXXX number back. I had to provide the case # included in the voicemail. Once connected to a person, instead of answering my basic verification questions, they repeatedly and irritably demanded the last four digits of my Social Security number, stating that they'd need that information in order to tell me anything about the purpose of their calls. 

When I asked if they had a website to confirm their identity or legitimacy, the representative scoffed, Yes, we have a website, but refused to provide it. Eventually, they told me to call the XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXXXXXX to verify my account, and then call them back. 

By the way, they did verbally confirm they were with Linebarger. 

After this I contacted the XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXXXXXX directly. I spoke with several departments, ultimately landing in the Collections Dept. where they confirmed to me that they do not hire law firms to collect on their behalf. It sounded like this may be a common predatory practice. 

I then XXXX  Linebarger and found their official site at XXXX. On that site, I used the live chat, where I was told to call ( XXXX ) XXXX to verify legitimacy. When I later Googled the ( XXXX ) XXXX number, a search result indicated that there are other known reports of this issue. Specifically, XXXX XXXX has a website collecting complaints XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX I can provide the voicemail recordings, transcripts, and screenshots if helpful.

Complaint narrative:
Finding unauthorized accounts, credit inquiries, and false personal information made or reported without my knowledge or agreement completely stunned and grieved me. I've tried to get clarification from the creditors, but they have blatantly refused to give it to me. I demand that the creditors act immediately and be transparent. The creditors must submit pertinent application materials, show proof of express authority for each query, and give comprehensive details about each account and inquiry, including dates, purposes, and the kinds of credit products involved. To see what I'm complaining about, please refer to the attached file!
