Company: EQUIFAX, INC.
State: MS

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 TILA US Code 1666B since I was never late. " I recently reviewed my consumer report and noticed an incorrect late payment record. I have always maintained timely payments on this account. Under the Fair Credit Billing Act ( FCBA ) and the Truth in Lending Act ( TILA ), creditors are required to accurately report consumer transactions and provide a mechanism for correcting errors in a timely manner. Please conduct an investigation into this matter, and if you can not provide documentary evidence of these supposed late payments, I demand these payments to be updated to on time as they should be as I was NEVER late. I expect these updates to be made promptly, in compliance with the law.

I am submitting this complaint regarding these unauthorized third-party accounts that are currently being reported on my credit file : XXXX XXXXXXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX I did not apply for or authorize these accounts, nor did I consent to any agreement, extension of credit, or permissible purpose to report these tradelines. 

These companies are not original creditors and have failed to provide a signed contract or chain of assignment proving ownership or authorization to report on my consumer report.

Additionally, per FCRA 623 ( a ) ( 1 ) ( A ), furnishers of information must not report inaccurate or unverifiable data. Since no contract, billing history, or debt validation has been produced, this information is considered inaccurate and must be removed.

I have attached a signed FTC Identity Theft Report affirming these accounts were opened and reported without my consent. I am requesting the immediate deletion of these unauthorized accounts from all credit bureaus.

Failure to address and resolve this matter may result in further escalation to the FTC and state regulatoryauthorities.

Company: I.C. System, Inc.
State: CO

Complaint narrative:
Moved from XXXX  to XXXX  in XXXX of XXXX. Set up internet service for the new home and was asked if I wanted to add cell phone services, which I agreed to. However, the XXXX representative managed to set up the phone service to an address in TN that I have no association with and shipped a phone there. Since then XXXX has continued to direct me through multiple departments via phone/online as their in store locations are not authorized ( per them ) to assist. This has resulted in being sent XXXX collections TWICE by XXXX. Over this matter I have closed all accounts associated with XXXX and paid all bills for internet and phone lines that are legal and accurate to me in full. All accounts were closed in XXXX at the time they first sent me to collections. At this time I had spoken to their fraud department and was informed that the fraudulent phone service for an account in TN had been resolved and closed by XXXX XXXX Without any further notice from XXXX this account has apparently been sent to a new collections company and I am finding out by my credit score dropping over XXXX points. The collections company, I C Systems, claims they texted me and sent mailed notice to the address in TN. I do not recall receiving a text message and do not have affiliation with the TN address. So the first notice I recieved of being in debt collections was a result of my credit score dropping.

Company: Klarna AB
State: GA

Complaint narrative:
On XX/XX/year> I purchased a XXXX using Klarnas one time card you receive with financing. I planned on making this purchase through XXXX. Once I placed the order I immediately got a email that my XXXX account was on hold for suspicious activity because the card was unfamiliar. I submitted all my necessary documents but XXXX decided to cancel the order. Upon cancellation I realized that Klarna continued with the purchase and payments. I submitted a dispute and was told to contact XXXX for the refund process to start because Klarna themselves dont take money from accounts. Once I spoke to an XXXX customer service representative I was told that XXXX never withdrew anything for this purchase because it was never shipped. I then contacted Klarna customer service and they told me that it would have to be refunded once my XXXX time card was canceled. After this I did some research and found out that I could cancel the XXXX time card myself so the following day I went in my app and realized that I didnt have an option to do so. I then contacted customer support and was told that they would have to send my case over to a different department for further investigation and I would hear something in XXXX days. I waited and never received a email, text, or anything confirming they even started the investigation. I then contacted support once again and was told that it was going to take Klarna 20 days to investigate and refund. It went from 7 days, to 14 days, to 2-3 days, and now 21 days. Ive kept screenshots of the whole process and Klarna keeps insisting that there is nothing they can possibly do until the team fully investigates within the 20 days.
