Complaint narrative:
I'm filing this report to support my dispute with the credit bureaus. I recently subscribed to a credit reporting website service just to check if my new address was already displayed on my credit report and also to check how high was my credit score. I was surprised to see that there are some addresses that don't belong to me, but it went from surprise to shock when I saw my score and it became worse when I notice several accounts that aren't mine but are showing there. I tried asking the bureaus about this and explained to them that I didn't open those accounts, and that some addresses and hard inquiries were also being registered under my name, but I never applied for them. Unfortunately they said that I had to dispute the accounts but I couldn't do it without reporting the identity theft to the corresponding department. Tragically, because of the government shutdown, the identity theft website isn't working so I tried asking away and even went online to search for an alternative, and plenty of people recommended the CFPB to help me with this while the government website works again ; they also sent me some dispute letters that are usually endorsed by the Federal Trade Comission, which I really hope to be useful for this. So I'd like to report that the bureaus are displaying the following fraudulent accounts under my name : credit cards from XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX and also some charge cards from XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX and XXXX XXXX At least on the Experian report XXXX there are XXXX addresses that aren't mine : XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX ; and lastly, there are XXXX inquiries that I never applied for XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX I don't know what else I must write down here, but hopefully you can help me with this situation. I will attach personal documentation to identify myself in the hopes to better attach this stressful issue. I wasn't expecting my financial plans to go down the drain because of some petty thief. Thank you.

Complaint narrative:
I called Kimball Tirey & St John LLP to try and pay a debt. I first requested a breakdown of the charges I owed a previous land lord. They said they sent it but a few weeks went by and I still didnt receive anything. I called them again and they said I never requested it. I called back the next day and they admitted I requested it but they never sent it. I finally got the breakdown a few weeks later. I called them again and they said my old landlord would settled. If I pay 75 % that it would be deleted from my credit report for me and the other responsible parties. I didnt not agree because I felt like I should only have to pay half. I called back a week later and the representative told me the offer was I pay 75 % and the other party pays the remaining 25 % I got confused and hung up. I called back a week later and the said if I paid 75 % it would be deleted for the both of us. I requested this in writing but they refused to send it to me without accepting the offer and getting my payment info.

Complaint narrative:
My husband and I have held our accounts with US Bank for XXXX years. We have deposited more than XXXX in checks ( by mobile deposit ) from the same person. Never had a check bounced, never been in the negative, never had fraud go through our accounts. Now all of the sudden they are holding funds on checks that they can verify for XXXX XXXX XXXX  days, the check in question was {$1600.00}. Which they could have verified by looking at a check deposited from the same person, same bank, and almost the same amount. I understand that mobile deposits add more risk, but if it can be verified easily by looking at past deposits then I dont see why.

Company: EQUIFAX, INC.
State: TX

Complaint narrative:
The Fair Credit Reporting Act ( 15 U.S. Code 1681 ) says ( 1 ) The banking system is dependent upon fair and accurate credit reporting. Inaccurate credit reports directly impair the efficiency of the banking system, and unfair credit reporting methods undermine the public confidence which is essential to the continued functioning of the banking system. 

So whenever there is a violation under the FCRA, it impairs the efficiency of the banking system. This is a violation of my privacy with my consumer report, since I control what is listed and what is not. In the event that any accounts are reported without my written consent, that is considered identity theft. 

This is a violation of both 15 U.S. Code 1681b ( 2 ) and 15 U.S. Code 1681c-2. This leads way to civil liability against the credit reporting agency for negligent and willful noncompliance under 15 U.S. Code 1681n, which allows for {$1000.00} per violation, for account listed without my expressed written consent.

Complaint narrative:
On XX/XX/year>, I called XXXX XXXX and was told by a representative that making a half payment would keep my account current and would not result in late reporting. Based on this assurance, I made the half payment. 

On XX/XX/year> and again on XX/XX/year>, I submitted formal written disputes to XXXX regarding a newly reported XXXX late payment that appeared on my credit report. I requested documentation and clarification supporting their negative reporting, given the representatives previous guidance. 

XXXX responded by form letter on XX/XX/year> ( stating the mark was valid after investigation ) and again on XX/XX/year> ( calling my dispute " frivolous '' and not investigating further ), but never provided documentation or a detailed explanation. 

On XX/XX/year>, I sent a final letter addressing the " frivolous '' response and stating I would escalate matters further, if need be. I also disputed the late mark with the credit bureaus, who sided with XXXX. I have not had a payment XXXX or more days late and even was granted a XXXX payment deferral that was moved to the end of my contract and was not reported as late. 

All relevant call recordings, transcripts, dispute letters, and responses are attached.

Complaint narrative:
I called the Fifth Third Bank customer service to inquire about a XXXX payment I had made. I had sent the payment from XXXX XXXX  XXXX Fifth Third Bank for the amount of {$26.00}. I received confirmation that I had received the payment on Fifth Third. However, when I went to check my account, I found that there was no balance and no {$26.00} on the account.

I received a strange call from a man named XXXX and his phone number XXXX, who claimed to work for Fifth Third Bank. He rudely told me that he had never seen such a payment and called me a liar. I told him that I would be reporting him for his rudeness and that I would involve the police because he had threatened to have my account locked. I want my account unlocked and my money back.
