Issue: Incorrect information on your report — Information is missing that should be on the report
Company: EQUIFAX, INC.
State: IL

Complaint narrative:
" The banking system is contingent upon equitable and accurate credit reporting, as stated in the equitable Credit Reporting Act ( 15 U.S. Code 1681 ). The banking system 's efficacy is directly impacted by inaccurate credit reports, and the public 's confidence is undermined by unfair credit reporting methods, which are essential for the system 's continued operation.

Therefore, the efficiency of the finance system is compromised whenever the FCRA is violated. This is a violation of my privacy with respect to my consumer report, as I have the authority to determine which items are included and which are not. Identity theft is the act of reporting any accounts without my written consent.

This is a violation of both 15 U.S. Code 1681b ( 2 ) and 15 U.S. Code 1681c-2. This results in civil liability against the credit reporting agency for negligent and willful noncompliance under 15 U.S. Code 1681n. The law permits a {$1000.00} fine per violation for each account listed without my expressed written assent.

I reviewed my consumer reports and observed accounts that I had never granted anyone permission to report. Consumer reporting agencies have taken on a critical role and are obligated to report consumer information with the utmost accuracy, as the Fair Credit Reporting Act explicitly stipulates. I did not provide written consent to report them. I am expressing my dissatisfaction with the contents of the attached file. ''

Complaint narrative:
" The Fair Credit Reporting Act ( 15 U.S. Code 1681 ) says ( XXXX ) 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 ( XXXX ) 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 each account listed without my expressed written consent. 

I looked at my consumer reports and noticed accounts I never gave anyone permission to report. Consumer reporting agencies have assumed a vital role and have a responsibility to report consumer information to the best of their ability with maximum possible accuracy like the Fair Credit Reporting Act clearly states. I did not provide written consent to report them

Complaint narrative:
On XX/XX/year> a call came from XXXX, Bank of America 's customer service number. They asked to verify some XXXX transactions to confirm we made them as they said our account may have been compromised. We verified XXXX transactions and then they asked about a XXXX transaction in the amount of {$2500.00}. We answered we did not make that transfer. They then texted verification codes and instructed us to transfer money out in order to protect us. Because they posed as a bank of America employee and texted verifcation codes we had no reason to believe it was a scam. This has never happened to us before. We have submitted this claim with Bank of America and have been denied for fraud and denied twice for a scam. The bank has told us that we have no recourse with them and to file a police report. They explained eventhough their system was compromised they are not responsible for this loss and we are not protected for reimbursement. We have been customers for 14 years and feel our finances are very unprotected.

Complaint narrative:
Received legal court complaint in mail, did not have to sign for it. I have no prior knowledge of Midland or accounts claimed in complaint. I have never been contacted by them by phone or by mail. I would have asked for validation at that point and possibly arbitration. Filed response with the court and have a court date set. I also sent a certified letter to Midland asking for debt validation, proof they own this debt and the rights to collect by lawsuit, and I asked for a copy of the original agreement to verify arbitration. I have not been contacted by them since in this matter. They took this matter straight to the local court instead of following proper protocols and regulations. Looking into retaining a law firm to file a class action lawsuit against Midland Credit due to their collection practices.
