Company: EQUIFAX, INC.
State: FL

Complaint narrative:
I hope this letter finds you well. I am writing to express my dissatisfaction with the repeated attempts to rectify the late opening of my account with your institution. I opened an account with your branch and unfortunately, I have encountered several issues that have not been adequately addressed. 

Despite my best efforts to resolve this matter through various channels, including phone calls and in-person visits to the branch, the late opening of my account persists. I have attached copies of the relevant documents, including the account opening paperwork and receipts, for your reference. 

I initially opened the account and was informed that it would be active within a specific timeframe. 

I made multiple follow-up calls to inquire about the status of my account. Each time, I was assured that the issue would be resolved promptly. 

I visited the branch in person to seek assistance, but unfortunately, the problem persists. 

I understand that issues may arise, and I am willing to cooperate to resolve this matter amicably. However, the lack of progress and communication regarding the status of my account is both frustrating and concerning. 

I kindly request that you investigate this matter promptly and provide a detailed explanation for the delay. Additionally, I expect a clear timeline for the resolution of this issue. I believe that transparency and effective communication are essential in maintaining a positive customer relationship. 

If this matter is not addressed within the exact timeframe from the date of this letter, I will be left with no choice but to escalate my complaint to the appropriate regulatory authorities. I am asking for your assistance to correct this late open account in my credit file : XXXX  XXXX XXXX XXXX Balance : {$120.00}.

Complaint narrative:
My daughter XXXX, received a text message and phone call on my behalf, XXXX XXXX seeking a debt collection. The debt collection stated a failure to comply would garner legal action. Upon researching the number attached in the message it belonged to Midland Credit Management. 

Upon checking my credit report there are multiple collection accounts from Midland Credit that I was shocked to see. I was never contacted by this company with any sort of documentation stating I owed a debt with the exception of the collection attempts made to my daughter. 

I believe these charges are fraudulent. 

This company is contacting family on my behalf and my daughter has been contacted by this company at early morning hours. The text message attached was sent to my daughter at XXXX.
