Product: Credit reporting or other personal consumer reports — Credit reporting
Issue: Incorrect information on your report — Information belongs to someone else
Company: EQUIFAX, INC.
State: MT

Complaint narrative:
I am writing to formally dispute inaccuracies on my credit report related to identity theft. I submitted my initial dispute on XX/XX/XXXX, along with a Federal Trade Commission ( FTC ) Identity Theft Report and additional documentation supporting my claim. However, your agency has failed to meet its obligations under the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ). 

Violations of the FCRA 1.Failure to Conduct a Reasonable Investigation ( 15 U.S.C. 1681i ( a ) ( 1 ) ) Under the FCRA, credit reporting agencies are required to conduct a reasonable investigation upon receiving a dispute. Despite providing a comprehensive FTC Identity Theft Report and detailed supporting evidence, I have not received confirmation of any substantive investigation into the disputed items.

2.Failure to Notify Me of Investigation Results ( 15 U.S.C. 1681i ( a ) ( 6 ) ) The FCRA mandates that consumers be notified of the results of an investigation within 30 days of submitting a dispute. To date, I have not received any such notification, nor have I been informed of the outcome of your review or the process by which my dispute was evaluated.

3.Failure to Block Inaccurate Information Promptly ( 15 U.S.C. 1681c-2 ) The FCRA requires credit reporting agencies to block information resulting from identity theft upon receipt of appropriate documentation, such as an FTC Identity Theft Report. This has not occurred in my case. 


Precedent Cases Supporting My Position Your failure to comply with FCRA requirements is not only a violation of my rights but also exposes your agency to liability, as demonstrated in precedent cases : XXXX v. XXXX XXXX ( XXXX ) : This case emphasized that credit reporting agencies have a duty to conduct reasonable investigations beyond relying on the data provided by furnishers. 
XXXX v. XXXX XXXX ( XXXX ) : The Supreme Court upheld consumer rights in disputes related to credit reporting inaccuracies, reinforcing the accountability of credit bureaus under the FCRA. 

Requested Resolution To resolve this matter, I demand the following actions : 1.Conduct a reasonable and thorough reinvestigation of the disputed accounts and transactions associated with my identity theft.

2.Provide a detailed written summary of your investigation, including the steps taken and evidence reviewed.

3.Immediately block or remove all inaccurate information resulting from the identity theft. 

If this matter is not resolved promptly, I will have no choice but to escalate my complaint by filing with the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau ( CFPB ), the Federal Trade Commission ( FTC ), and potentially pursuing legal remedies.

Issue: Attempts to collect debt not owed — Debt is not yours
Company: EQUIFAX, INC.
State: NC

Complaint narrative:
Disputing the inaccurate, misleading, and potentially unlawful reporting of the following collection account on my credit report. Under the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ) ( 15 U.S.C. 1681 ), credit reporting agencies are legally required to ensure that all information reported is accurate, verifiable, and fair. The reporting of this account contains multiple errors and potential violations that must be corrected immediately. Debt Buyer : XXXX XXXX XXXX  Original Creditor XXXX XXXX Account Number : XXXX Date Opened : XX/XX/year>. Disputed Errors : Unverified debt collection reporting. Incorrect past due balance reporting. Failure to validate debt upon request. Potential illegal re-aging of the account. Possible violation of IRS regulations if a 1099-C was issued VIOLATIONS OF FEDERAL LAW : Unverified Debt Collection Reporting FCRA 623 ( a ) ( 3 ) ( 15 U.S.C. 1681s-2 ) XXXX XXXX XXXX is a third-party debt buyer with no documented proof that this debt has been validated as required by law. FCRA and FDCPA prohibit the reporting of an unverifiable debt. 2. Inaccurate Past Due Balance FCRA 607 ( b ) ( 15 U.S.C. 1681e ( b ) ) The report states a past due balance of {$600.00}, which is the same as the original balance. If XXXX XXXX XXXX purchased this debt for less than the original balance, they can not legally report the full original amount owed unless they provide documentation proving they are entitled to collect the full amount. Adding unauthorized fees or interest would be a violation of FDCPA ( 15 U.S.C. 1692f ( 1 ) ). 3. Failure to Validate Debt Upon Request FDCPA 809 ( 15 U.S.C. 1692g ) XXXX XXXX XXXX did not provide the original signed contract, itemized payment history, and clear proof of debt ownership, I've requested them to cease collection efforts and remove this account from my credit report. I demand immediate removal or written validation of this debt immediately. FCRA 605 ( c ) ( 15 U.S.C. 1681c ( c ) ) If XXXX XXXX XXXX has changed the date of first delinquency to make this debt appear newer, this is an illegal practice known as re-aging, which extends the negative impact of the account beyond its legally allowed reporting period.

Issue: Closing your account — Can't close your account
Company: DISCOVER BANK
State: TX

Complaint narrative:
I am writing to formally dispute an unauthorized account that was fraudulently opened in my name and to express my concerns regarding Discovers failure to properly investigate and resolve this matter. Despite providing all necessary documentation, including a police report and an FTC identity theft report, my request to remove this fraudulent account has been repeatedly denied. 

Key Facts & Supporting Evidence : Unauthorized Account & Fraudulent Charges An account was opened in my name without my consent, which I promptly reported to Discover upon discovering the fraud. 
I have provided official documentation, including a police report and an FTC identity theft report, confirming that this was identity theft. 
Lack of Proper Investigation by Discover Your team has stated that the charges were " valid '' because they occurred in an area associated with me. However, I have provided military assignment records proving I was in another state at the time of these transactions. 
This clear evidence demonstrates that I could not have physically made these charges, and your refusal to acknowledge this is unjustified. 
Failure to Remove the Fraudulent Account from My Credit Report I have repeatedly requested the removal of this fraudulent account from my credit report. 
Per the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ), I have the right to dispute inaccurate information on my credit file, and Discover has an obligation to properly investigate and correct the error. 
Your continued reporting of this fraudulent account is causing financial harm, and I demand its immediate removal. 
Unfair Blacklisting & Future Account Restrictions I have also been unfairly blacklisted from opening future accounts with Discover due to this fraudulent incident, despite proving my identity theft claim. 
This is an unfair and punitive action against a victim of fraud, and I request this restriction be lifted. 
Requested Resolution : I demand the following corrective actions be taken immediately : Remove the fraudulent account from my credit report and cease all negative reporting to credit bureaus. 
Provide written confirmation that my identity theft claim has been accepted and that Discover acknowledges the charges were fraudulent. 
Remove any internal blacklisting that prevents me from obtaining an account in the future. 
If this matter is not resolved promptly, I will escalate my complaint by filing reports with the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau ( CFPB ), Federal Trade Commission ( FTC ), my state Attorney Generals office, and the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency ( OCC ) for failure to properly investigate and correct an identity theft claim. 

I request a written response to this complaint within 15 days. You may contact me at XXXX or ( XXXX ) XXXX Work and ( XXXX ) XXXX for further discussion.

Complaint narrative:
I recently discovered an error in the reporting of my child support payment. On XX/XX/XXXX, I reviewed my credit report and found that a payment of {$12000.00} was listed as overdue, despite being paid on XX/XX/XXXX. Immediately upon noticing the discrepancy, I contacted the credit reporting agency on XX/XX/XXXX, and provided them with documentation confirming my payment. They assured me an investigation would be initiated. 

When the error was still present during a follow-up call on XX/XX/XXXX, I reached out to the child support enforcement agency on XX/XX/XXXX. The agency confirmed that my payment had been received and processed correctly on XX/XX/XXXX. Despite these efforts and confirmations from both parties, the inaccurate reporting remains on my credit file, negatively impacting my credit score. 

I respectfully request that the CFPB review this matter with the involved companies to ensure the error is corrected promptly.
