Company: EQUIFAX, INC.
State: TX

Complaint narrative:
I am following up on a previous dispute that was filed in which I requested that multiple accounts listed on my credit report be validated and I was specific asking for documentation that was used to determine the account to be valid. If there was no validation or documentation provided then by law the account was to be deleted. Equifax failed to provide either the proof of validation or deletion of the account. They are now liable for damages under the law for willful non compliance. Further they failed to address all of the accounts that were disputed. I will be seeking damages at this point.

So again I request that all information for the accounts listed below be provided in writing to me which includes but not limited to : the original contract with my wet signature, full transactional history from date of opening to present or closing of the account, any other documentation that was use to verify the account as being accurate. Under 15 U.S. Code 1681e ( b ) ACCURACY OF REPORT : Whenever a consumer reporting agency prepares a consumer report it shall follow reasonable procedures to assure maximum possible accuracy of the information concerning the individual about whom the report relates. I know that under 15 U.S. Code 1681i ( a ) ( 5 ) Treatment of inaccurate or unverifiable information ( A ) In general if after any reinvestigation under paragraph ( 1 ) of any information disputed by a consumer, an item of the information is found to be inaccurate or incomplete or can not be verified, the consumer reporting agency shall ( i ) promptly delete that item of information from the file of the consumer, or modify that item of information, as appropriate, based on the results of the reinvestigation ; and ( ii ) promptly notify the furnisher of that information that the information has been modified or deleted from the file of the consumer. 

If you are unable to provide me a copy of verifiable proof within 15 days after your investigation, you must remove the accounts and or the information listed below : XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX

Company: MOHELA
State: MT

Complaint narrative:
When I applied for PSLF Mohela denied the payments I made when working for a previous employer even though the website says that this is a qualified employer. When I sent emails I received a generic automatic reply that did not address their error. When trying to call them about this error I was on hold for XXXX XXXX hours! Only to be told by the customer service rep that she couldn't answer my question either. It took several calls to even get someone on the phone. I finally had to put my information in incorrectly before I was finally routed to a person. 

These loan payments are causing me financial difficulties and it is frustrating when you can't get them to correct their own errors!

Company: EQUIFAX, INC.
State: GA

Complaint narrative:
I am writing to address the severe discrepancies I discovered upon reviewing my credit report. The inaccuracies I found have caused me significant distress and concern. 

During my recent investigation of my credit report, I uncovered several unverifiable, invalidated, inaccurate, and questionable items. It is unacceptable that your agency failed to ensure the accuracy of these reported items, as mandated by the Fair Credit Reporting Act. 

Under 15 U.S Code 1681e ( b ) and 15 U.S. Code 1681i ( 5 ), it is imperative that all information on my credit report is reported accurately. The presence of these inaccuracies is a direct violation of these regulations. 

Enclosed, please find copies of all letters I have previously sent in an attempt to rectify these errors. 

I demand immediate action to address and correct these inaccuracies. Failure to do so will result in further escalation of this matter. 

I expect a prompt response from your agency regarding the steps taken to resolve this issue.

Company: EQUIFAX, INC.
State: GA

Complaint narrative:
I am writing this complaint to Equifax regarding the accounts and information thats listed in my dispute letter. After going over my monthly consumer report I've noticed information thats reporting to my report that doesnt belong to me. I am aware of the consumer laws that Equifax is governed by, and I understand that any information or account must be verifiable and accurate to properly report. The accounts and personal information listed in my dispute letter are both inaccurate and don't belong to me. The creditors thats reporting the accounts never had my consent to obtain my personal information nor did they have permission to share it with anyone, which violates my right to privacy. For the accounts to belong to me there must be mutual agreements and documentation included in which neither exists. It is Equifax 's duty to thoroughly investigate my dispute and update and remove anything thats unverifiable. How can there be a debt owed if there was never a mutual agreement between both parties? 



Violations committed by Equifax and the Creditors : 15 U.S. Code 1681b - Permissible purposes of consumer reports 15 U.S. Code 1681 - Congressional findings and statement of purpose 15 U.S. Code 1681e - Compliance procedures 15 U.S. Code 6802 - Obligations with respect to disclosures of personal information 15 U.S. Code 1681a - Definitions ; rules of construction 15 U.S. Code 1681i - Procedure in case of disputed accuracy

Issue: Closing your account — Can't close your account
Company: CITIBANK, N.A.
State: NC

Complaint narrative:
I opened a Mastercard account with Citi about 6 years ago. I rarely used the account as it was only to access specific concerts/events for my wife. About 6 months ago fraudulent activity was encountered ( someone called in a changed billing address ) and an entry-level attempt was made by another user to charge against the account. I wanted to close the account in XXXX of this year, but the Citi agent said " it would be better '' to issue a new credit card. Yesterday, a fraudulent charge of {$460.00} was placed against my card. I attempted to log in - the password had been changed. When I attempted to change the password, the phone number for verifying the change had, itself, been changed. I called into Citi and discovered that my home address had also been changed. I immediately attempted to close the account - and directed that any on-line access be terminated. I requested a confirmation of all of this, along with a statement that the account had no active balance. Citi has not confirmed any of this. At present, Citi is not extending a good faith effort to protect my PII.
