Company: EQUIFAX, INC.
State: OK

Complaint narrative:
Response to XXXX is both nonsufficient and is not being honoured by Equifax. When I called her XXXX number they refuse to assist and when I request escalation to management Im told by Phone agents they have no manager and they disconnect the calls. This has happened XXXX or XXXX times since XX/XX/year>. Information they have requested in XXXX complaints and letters has been provided to them at least XXXX times since XX/XX/year> and Equifax has done absolutely nothing with the information to resolve the issue so to request the same thing in the CFPB complaint is at best disingenuous but very strongly indicates that this is a deliberate act and indicates wilful negligence on the part of the company to allow the customer to access credit information as guaranteed under the FCRA and other laws. Per communications I had with a XXXX agent last night I am attaching copies of the IDs that have been requested so that they will be sent by a federal agency to the company and at this point I expect in a reasonable amount of time all access to my credit information will be restored as guaranteed under federal and state laws. 

Equifax has played some lie and deny game to claim information has not been provided to them when it has and to even claims the information that they are publicly sharing to third parties doesnt even exist within their own systems despite their agents admitting to the customer that the information does exist. This has been repeated CFPB complaints and amounts to perjury.

If these unverified items are not removed immediately, I will escalate this matter by filing a formal complaint with the Federal Trade Commission and considering legal action.

Product: Vehicle loan or lease — Lease
Issue: Managing the loan or lease — Problem with fees charged
Company: AMERICAN HONDA FINANCE CORP
State: OH

Complaint narrative:
On XX/XX/year> I went to XXXX Honda to complete a consumer credit transaction to obtain an automobile. I was told that I had a credit approval, but it was more beneficial financially to lease instead of getting a loan. This seems to be a conflict of credit approval, as an approval should not have boundaries of factors if approved. I was told that a down payment is required, when in fact the down payment is apart of the finance charge as the law states. This is a securities fraud by demanding a down payment when my credit approval was accepted and the finance charge includes such. No cash equivalent should have been required.

Debt removed and added and removed from report multiple times. Served paperwork regarding very old debt. Debt validation request.

Be advised this is not a refusal to pay, but a notice sent pursuant to the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act, 15 USC 1692g stating your claim is disputed and validation is requested.

This is NOT a request for " verification '' or proof of my mailing address, but a request for VALIDATION made pursuant to the above-named Title and Section. I respectfully request your offices provide me with competent evidence that I have any legal obligation to pay you.

At this time, I will also inform you that if your offices have reported invalidated information to any of the 3 major credit bureaus ( XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX ) this action may constitute fraud under both Federal and State Laws. Due to this fact, if any negative mark is found on any of my credit reports by your company or the company that you represent, I will not hesitate in bringing legal action against you and your client for the following : Violation of the Fair Credit Reporting Act, Violation of the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act, and Defamation of Character. 
If your offices are able to provide the proper documentation as requested in the following Declaration, I will require at least 30 days to investigate this information, during which time all collection activity must cease and desist. Also, during this validation period, if any action is taken which could be considered detrimental to any of my credit reports, I will consult with my legal counsel for suit. This includes any listing of any information to a credit reporting repository that could be inaccurate or invalidated. 
If your office fails to respond to this validation request within 30 days from the date of your receipt, all references to this account must be deleted and completely removed from my credit file and a copy of such deletion request shall be sent to me immediately.

Complaint narrative:
In XX/XX/year>, I was at the XXXX XXXX and a car hit the car my partner was driving. Among other mishaps, I lost my wallet where I carried my driver 's license, my social security card, and my debit card. I immediately called the bank and blocked the card and made an appointment to get my driver 's license again, and everything went back to normal. About a month ago, I started receiving letters that I don't recognize and proceeded to review my credit information, in which I could see that there are countless account numbers and reports that I don't recognize. This makes it clear that it is an identity theft due to the loss of my personal documents.
