Issue: Improper use of your report — Reporting company used your report improperly
Company: EQUIFAX, INC.
State: GA

Complaint narrative:
I have previously disputed an item with you ( XXXX XXXX XXXXXXXX/ Reference # XXXX ), and in your response you verified the item as accurate, stating that you have verified by XXXX XXXX, but the information was reported by US Bankruptcy Court . I have enclosed for your review by the court. It is clear they do not report to you or any other credit reporting agencies. Therefore, your original response to the accuracy of the item was inaccurate because it was reported as a discharge to the credit reporting agency by the court, which they clearly do not. Also, it states that I have been discharged which I have not been, only filed on XX/XX/2022 not XX/XX/2022 as the letter states. Pursuant to the reporting requirements, the reporting does not comply with FCRA ( 15 USC 1681 and 1681i ) 15 U.S. Code 1681 - Congressional findings and statement of purpose ( a ) ACCURACY AND FAIRNESS OF CREDIT REPORTING : The Congress makes the following findings : ( 4 ) There is a need to ensure that consumer reporting agencies exercise their grave responsibilities with fairness, impartiality, and a respect for the consumers right to privacy. 
In Addition : ( 15 USC 1681i ) Procedure in Case of Disputed Accuracy ( 5 ) Treatment OF INACCURATE OR UNVERIFIABLE INFORMATION ( A ) In general if, after any reinvestigation under paragraph ( 1 ) of any information disputed by a consumer, an item of the information is found to be inaccurate or incomplete or can not be verified, the consumer reporting agency shall ( i ) Promptly delete that item of information from the file of the consumer, or modify that item of information, as appropriate, based on the results of the reinvestigation ; and ( ii ) Promptly notify the furnisher of that information that the information has been modified or deleted from the file of the consumer. 

Also, I did not give you written permission to obtain and furnish my personal information to the consumer reporting agency. 
( 15 U.S. Code 1681b - Permissible purposes of consumer reports : ( a ) IN GENERAL SUBJECT to subsection ( c ), any consumer reporting agency may furnish a consumer report under the following circumstances and no other : ( 2 ) In accordance with the written instructions of the consumer to whom it relates.

I did not give you written permission to provide any information for my consumer report.

Company: Arena Investors, LP

Complaint narrative:
We received a letter from North Shore Agency saying to collect a debt that we have no clue about. When I tried to call the phone number to dispute the claim, it has no record of the account number. I did email. It all seems very suspicious. It states to go to the website to see rights under federal law, but it isn't a working website. I'm very worried that it is a scam. I don't know how to tell, because I can not call and find out anything about the debt. IT says it's for XXXXXXXX XXXX XXXX

Company: ACIMA CREDIT, LLC
State: AZ

Complaint narrative:
Acima allows identity theft by not doing actual credit checks. They do a soft pull. Anyone with an XXXX dump can easily get an account with this company circumventing credit lock. This tactic looks to be part of their business model to make quick cash. Trying to remove identity theft, Acima expects you to jump through their process and said they would not accept the FTC report. They work directly and only with XXXX, who will not remove the fraudulent account. Acima is a client of XXXX. No proof has been provided to XXXX from Acima about the account. They keep closing the dispute. I had over an XXXX XXXX XXXX perfect credit history, and I would never use some scam service owned by XXXX XXXX XXXX ( ACIMA ). It is impossible to get anyone to help me at XXXX, and Acima is worthless. If you go to XXXX  complaints, you can see top complaints on how criminals circumvent the credit lock system because Acima does not do an actual hard pull. Meaning it will not show up on your credit. This fraud first showed up on my account in XXXX Another shady thing was that ACIMA shows the account paid off after I made the initial dispute, lowering my credit even more. I believe Acima is fraudulent, and XXXX is helping through deceptive practices. Both companies have not responded to the XXXX.

Company: BANK OF AMERICA, NATIONAL ASSOCIATION
State: TX

Complaint narrative:
I called Bank of America to report some fraudulent charges and they opened claims and credited my account for the missing/misused funds. After about a month or so, they did chargebacks and took those funds back out of my account causing a negative balance on my account. I called and spoke to a rep and reopened those claims because although I know someone accessed my cards without my knowledge, I didn't know who it was. I explained to the rep that I had family members who were displaced due to COVID19 and unknowingly to me, those family members allowed their friends to come freely in and out of my home. Those family members have since been made to leave, but someone still accessed at least 2 of my debit cards, and I have no idea who it was. I just know they used my cards without my permission and I contacted my bank to handle the problem. Instead of my bank handling the problem, they closed my account and revoked my access to it. I have been a customer since 2011 and this is how I'm treated. I have never had any issues like this in all my years of doing business with Bank of America, but they closed my account and blocked my access.

Company: Duncan Solutions, lnc.
State: TX

Complaint narrative:
This has been going on for several years now and the company refuses to stop collecting on the bogus XXXX fees even after stating they would stop. 

I received yet another collection letter from them yesterday and have sent them another validation of debt request to which they will not respond because it is not possible for them to validate a bogus debt. 

The letter they sent does not have the correct license plate number for my car listed. They know this, they have been told this for years. 

I do not have an account with the company they claim to represent. I use their competitor and have had an account in good standing with them since I have had the car. 

This company is fully aware they are illegally trying to collect a debt I do not owe but they do not care.
