Company: EQUIFAX, INC.
State: OH

Complaint narrative:
I am part of the breech of Equifax. I can not get anywhere with them. I went to their website and they said they will e mail me instructions, I receive nothing from them. I tried to call their phone number and surprise, some one did answer the phone, but he just blew me off saying I will receive an e mail the next day. Surprise, surprise, no e mail. I then contacted the Ohio attorney general 's office, and they gave me step by step instructions on how to contact Equifax, I followed the instructions and still have not heard from them. Can you help? As far as i 'm concerned, I wish they would just erase all my data and I 'd be done with Equifax. Thank You

Complaint narrative:
Designed Receivable Solutions XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX, CA XXXX ( XXXX ) XXXX RE : Account # XXXX This letter is to inform you that the above referenced account being reporting by your company on my credit reports is hereby disputed for lack of completeness and/or accuracy. I recently disputed this account with the credit reporting bureaus, and the information was reported as accurate. Im sure we both understand that most disputes are often conducted using software, such as XXXX, and that mistakes can be made during that process, because the software can have limitations when it comes to completing a proper investigation of records. 

I am disputing the following information directly with you, the furnisher of information, and I am requesting that you conduct an investigation as outlined in the FCRA Section 623. 
Basis for dispute : I do not recognize this account and am requesting an investigation. 
If youre unable to perform a reasonable investigation, or youre unable to locate the necessary documents to investigate my dispute ( s ) then you are required by the FCRA to remove the negative information from my credit reports, which will also include complete removal of the account. Under the provisions of FCRA 623 ( a ) ( 8 ) ( E ) and 16 CFR 660.4, you have the duty to review all of the information I have provided to you, to complete your investigation of this Direct Dispute within 30 days of my Notice of Direct Dispute, and report directly back to me the results of your investigation within 5 days of the completion of your investigation. 

Should you find the disputed information to be inaccurate or incomplete, or if you can not verify the accuracy or completeness of the disputed information, you are additionally required, under FCRA 623 ( 1 ) ( E ), to also promptly notify the 3 credit reporting agencies ( XXXX, XXXX, XXXX ), of deletion of this information from my credit file. XXXX v XXXX XXXX, XXXX provides a cause of action for individuals against furnishers of information. If you do n't respond with the results of the investigation ( as is required per the FCRA ), I will assume you have no documentation and therefore you were negligent in providing the credit bureaus with accurate information. At this point, you would also be in violation of the FCRA merely for not responding within the 30 day period.To avoid potential legal action and further issues, I hereby request that you remove the account from my credit report. 

Sincerely, XXXX XXXX XXXX/XXXX/XXXX

Complaint narrative:
On XXXX XXXX of XXXX, I contacted my mortgage company after receiving a statement with a balance of XXXX. Since then I have had concerns and questions about it and I still have not received any answers. I have been a victim of an unlawful foreclosure. I have called numerous times and spoke with reps and supervisors before the sale date, which was on XXXX XXXX. They only lied and guaranteed me that they would do their research and call me back. Needless to say they did not. I spoke with the foreclosure attorney and he gave me his direct contact number after I told him everything I have paid out and my issues. He even realized that something fraudulent had taken place. He also told me that he would call me in a couple of days after his research and if not to call him. He did not call so I called him and left a message. He did not return my call, so I waited another day and called him back and now he has an invalid number. My initial question was, why is my mortgage company charging me for arrears that I paid through my bankruptcy, in the amount of XXXX. It was completed and I was XXXX in XXXX XXXX. I also had a loan modification in XXXX which should have taken care of those arrears.

Issue: Attempts to collect debt not owed — Debt is not yours
Company: I.C. System, Inc.
State: MD

Complaint narrative:
I recieved a letter in mid XX/XX/XXXX ( Dated XX/XX/XXXX ) from a debt collection comapny named I.C. System Inc ( XXXX. XXXX XXXX, XXXX XXXX, MN XXXX ) stating that I owed {$100.00} to from a debt owed to XXXX. I have never had XXXX service for anything ( phone, internet, tv ). I had when I was originally buying my new home in Maryland ( I signed the paperwork in XX/XX/XXXX, however I did not move into it until XX/XX/XXXXas I was on military orders in FL until XX/XX/XXXX ) looked into getting XXXX service, and provided XXXX some basic information in order to get pricing infomration for my area. I however went with XXXX XXXX service rather than XXXX and never had XXXX service hooked up. At one point several months after having moved into my new home ( possibly XX/XX/XXXX timeframe ) recieved a bill from XXXX. I called XXXX and was able to talk to a customer service representative who confirmed that I never utilized the service and removed my account from their system. I believed at the time that this had resolved the issue, until I recieved the letter from I.C.  System. I immediately called I.C. System to attempt to resolve the issue. Their customer service represntative told me that the collection account would be placed in a disputed status and that I would have to send in proof to show that I did not have any XXXX services at my home. I did this ( original documents sent to I.C. Systems are included as an atttachment to this complaint - updated to show that I have continued to utilize the same services ) and did not hear anything back from either XXXX, nor I.C. Systems so I considered the issue resolved once again. That was until I saw my credit score drop drastically last month and was very concerned about this especially due to the recent XXXX leaks, as well as the fact that I am in the XXXX and XXXX had my information at the time they expeirenced a massive data breach as well. I keep a tight eye on my finances and do not like to have deragotry marks on my record especially when I have attempted twice now to resolve this issue. The proof I provided is substantial as it coverd the entire timeframe that I had been in this new home ( I moved into the home in XX/XX/XXXX ). Prior to that I was on XXXX XXXX XXXX to XXXX FL at XXXX XXXX. I would like to resolve this issue as quickly as possible as I was planning on buying a new car near the end of the year for my wife and the massive hit to my credit report for a debt that I am in no way responsible for is not something that I would like to have on my record. Please let me know if there is anything you need from me in order to expedite this result.
