Complaint narrative:
I am reaching out requesting the follow delinquencies reporting on my credit file be updated. I know the account is currently in a charged off status and settled for less then the balance during the time that the account went delinquent I was going through a difficult time with medical issues that started XX/XX/XXXX all the way up until the account charged off in XX/XX/XXXX. Being in and out of the hospital starting in XX/XX/XXXX all the way beyond XX/XX/XXXX has caused a hardship for me not being able to pay my bills due to medical issues that caused me not to work. I am requesting for the negative payment history to be updated during that time frame due to it being out of my control due to my sickness not being able to work.

Complaint narrative:
Hello, I am writing to tell my story about what happened at the TJ Maxx store on XX/XX/2019. This store is located at XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX, XXXX, NY XXXX. The reason I would like to voice my complaint is because although I called the store and complained to the manager and also their credit card company, nothing has been done to stop the illegal credit card application that was done by their employee. In fact, this woman is continuing to harass other customers the same way and when a friend of mine complained after I did, the manager told her that was their beat employee! 
On XXXX XX/XX/2019, I was shopping in the store and headed to the check out area. On the way there, a TJ Maxx employee came over to me and said no, no, Ill take you here at the jewelry counter and it will be quicker. So I went to her station at the jewelry counter and I did not have my TJ Maxx credit card on me and I will pay with a different card. She then proceeded to tell me there are special deals with your card and tell me your phone number and address and I will look you up, so I started giving her the information. When she asked for my social security number I became flustered and gave her the wrong number because I didnt know why she would need that information. She shoved a pamphlet in my bag with my purchase and when I got to my car, I realized that was a credit card application! So I had to go back to work, but I called the store on my way back and explained what happened to the manager. The manager seemed very sympathetic and concerned about the employee and said I should contact the credit card company. 
When I returned home from work, I called the Syncb/XXXX  dc credit company to try and not let them run my credit without my approval, but they said there was nothing they could do and they took the store information and thanked me for reporting this and that was it. There is now a hard inquiry on my credit report that I did not authorize and for a credit card I already have! It really bothers me to know that this woman is still employed there and may be continuing to do this to other people. I am in the process of buying a XXXX   XXXX  XXXX  home and really monitoring my credit.

To Equifax Escalation Department : I have contacted the following companies reporting to my credit file and according to them, there has been no communication noted from Equifax regarding these items. Out of an abundance of caution and in accordance with the Fair Credit Reporting Act I request the following : 611. Procedure in case of disputed accuracy [ 15 U.S.C. 1681i ] paragraph ( 6 ) ( B ) ( iii ) a notice that, if  requested by the consumer, a description of the procedure used to determine the accuracy and completeness of the information shall be provided to the consumer by the agency, including the business name and address of any furnisher of information contacted in connection with such information and the telephone number of such furnisher, if reasonably available ; I am CLEARLY requesting the Method of Verification used to contact the furnishers and the specific name and number ( please include extension if applicable ) of the person contacted ( An employee looking at their computer screen and matching a name listed in their database is NOT verification or validation of any alleged debt ) ( Previous request not honored ). And as the following items can not be verified, please delete them from the credit file ( hoping that this is clear ).

I am reaching out to request some delinquencies to be updated on my credit files I know the account was charged off and I settled for a less amount of the balance.

The account is also still showing open on my XX/XX/XXXX credit profile I am not sure if this inaccurate information that is reporting. I am requesting that it is updated to reflect closed.
