Company: EQUIFAX, INC.
State: CA

Complaint narrative:
Equifax This is about Equifax 's messed up system. I created an account last year and saw that there were lots of incorrect information which belongs to someone else. I cleaned up using the dispute center. 
This time, I was going to activate the credit monitoring services and found that Equifax updated my profile without any notification. They changed my name to someone else 's and put my name as former name. They also changed the SSN column to that person 's SSN and listed my SSN as other document. I was able to see a SSN that does not belong to me. This is a serious SSN disclosure!! I am concerned due to this messed up system, my critical information like SSN is also shown on other 's account as well. The birth date and address is mine. In the credit card section, it combines both my account and some other accounts that I don't know. I think the system merge my information with someone else. But I don't know why this happens as we have different names and XXXX. And this is an issue only with Equifax. I don't found this issue with XXXX and XXXX as they are both accurate. 
I submitted dispute request for my name, SSN and other information. Ironically, the name requests got disapproved saying the name is verified as reported. I am very curious how it got verified or did it really verify the information. I called the customer services and the lady keeps ignoring my questions and just said they need a copy of my official documents mailed to them before they could answer my questions. I was very XXXX XXXX  by the reply and she just hanged off the call.

Company: SYNCHRONY FINANCIAL

Complaint narrative:
I looked at my credit report early last month and noticed names, addresses, phone numbers, and accounts that were not mine. I started the dispute process with each creditor and all but one agreed that it was not mine. One agency allegedly verified that it was in fact my debt. I called them to determine how they decided it was my debt, and they confirmed with me that my name and social is not in their system having any debt with them. 

During my research I noticed that all of these accounts that were not mine were added to my XXXX credit report on a single day. When I asked XXXX representatives how this could have happened and why someone from California with a long history of good credit and no association to any of the locations where the bad accounts were from could suddenly have this amount of bad information added at one moment and this not cause any sort of alarm bells or investigation on their behalf, they refused to give me an answer.

State: TX

Complaint narrative:
I noticed XXXX pending debits holds of {$650.00} from my account. I spoke to the bank and they advised they wouldn't be able to tell the reason for the hold until the transactions were processed. Both of these debits resulted in my account being in the negative. 

I followed up days later. First the bank stated it was a check deposit that did not clear. And when I advised the only deposits into the account were paychecks from my employer, they then advised it was a payroll reversal. 

I followed up with my employer who advised they have no history of initiating a payroll reversal. 

I returned to the bank and explained this to them, and the bank shifted back to it's original statement of the debits being due to a check deposit that wasn't paid. 

I have requested information on this phantom check that wasn't paid and to date the bank refuses to provide this. 
When was this check deposited? Where was it deposited? How was it deposited. 
These seem like very vital information l ; that if made available would enable me trace the root of this issue.

Complaint narrative:
On XX/XX/XXXX I called into Equifax at XXXX ( XXXXXXXX XXXX  ) Spoke with supervisor " XXXX '' who informed me that when calling in there was still no update on the dispute submitted, however she would be able to handle my request for an update at that time. She placed me on hold to review the documents I mailed in, and when returning she informed me, she would be having the account removed based on the documentation I submitted over, and it would take XXXX hours to show on my credit profile. On XX/XX/XXXX I called in to request an update and was informed by supervisor " XXXX '' at XXXX ( XXXXXXXX XXXXXXXX ) that I was wrongly informed and there would be no honoring of the removal the previous supervisor had informed me would occur. I was then told that the dispute was closed out the same day XX/XX/XXXX with the account being verified as accurate. I requested a investigation of the call that was taken on XX/XX/XXXX so someone higher up could listen and honor what I was told, she provided me a complaint number ( # XXXX ) and I also requested she send the supervisor a message so that she is aware of what has occurred and can correct the error on Equifax side promptly. At XXXX XXXX XXXX she sent over a message to XXXX but could not transfer me to her at that time because she was unavailable. This collection account being removed earlier this year by XXXX, EQUIFAX, AND XXXX proved this should have never been on my credit initially. Now only EQUIFAX is the only company who is allowing this collection to be placed back onto my credit as double jeopardy for a lower amount when the facts were proven is illegal. [ The documents attached show a previous statement that was pursued and was ultimately removed from my credit, a screenshot of when the collection company contacted me in XXXX with the balance as shown, a revised statement that is falsely being pursued- the original creditor was not responsive when I contacted them along with when the collection company contacted them - the collection company falsely revised the statement for their own personal gain, a recording of the collection company is also attached and clearly confirms what I have indicated above. )

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.

Complaint narrative:
I recently conducted a review of my credit report and found several items that have caused me significant distress. These items appear to be unverifiable, inaccurate, and questionable. Your agency has failed to ensure the accuracy of the information as required under 15 U.S. Code 1681e ( b ) Accuracy of Reports. This statute mandates that consumer reporting agencies must follow reasonable procedures to ensure the maximum possible accuracy of the information they report.

Furthermore, under 15 U.S. Code 1681i ( 5 ) Treatment of Inaccurate or Unverifiable Information, you are required to promptly delete or modify any information found to be inaccurate, incomplete, or unverifiable during a reinvestigation. If you are unable to provide me with verifiable proof of the accuracy of the disputed items within 15 days of your investigation, these accounts and the related information must be removed from my credit report.

Additionally, under the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act ( FDCPA ), I do not recognize any of the alleged creditors or debt collectors. I have never entered into a valid contract with any of these entities, nor have I engaged in any transactions with them. As such, these accounts are fraudulent and may be the result of identity theft or other illegal activities. Attempting to enforce these fraudulent accounts is unlawful. I request that you expedite your investigation to prevent further harm, losses, or damages that I may suffer as a victim of identity theft.

Moreover, under the Fair Credit Billing Act, my right to privacy has been violated, and this breach infringes upon my rights as outlined in The Privacy Act of 1974. Removing the inaccurate and fraudulent information from my credit report will help restore my privacy and prevent further violations.
