Product: Credit reporting or other personal consumer reports — Credit reporting
Issue: Incorrect information on your report — Information belongs to someone else
Company: EQUIFAX, INC.
State: OR

Complaint narrative:
Despite the multiple previous written requests, the unverified accounts listed below still remain on my credit report in violation of Federal Law. You are required under the FCRA to have a copy of the original creditor documentation on file to verify that this information is 100 % true, accurate & correct.

In the results of your first investigation and subsequent reinvestigation ( s ), you stated in writing that you verified that these accounts are being reported correctly? Who verified these accounts? You have NOT provided me a copy of ANY original documentation ( a consumer contract with my signature on it ) as required under Section 609 ( a ) ( 1 ) ( A ) & Section 611 ( a ) ( 1 ) ( A ). Furthermore, you have failed to provide the method of verification as required under Section 611 ( a ) ( 7 ). Please be advised that under Section 611 ( a ) ( 5 ) ( A ) of the FCRA you are required to ... promptly CORRECT or DELETE all information which can not be verified.

Section 616 and Section 617 provide me with a remedy which Im about to seek. You are willful non-complying with the FCRA.

Since you claim youve verified the accounts listed below I wanted to confirm my thoughts and contacted the banks directly. They did not provide me with any verifiable proof. So, my question comes up again, WHO VERIFIED THIS ACCOUNT? I believe you have not verified these accounts based on Section 609 ( a ) ( 1 ) ( A ) & Section 611 ( a ) ( 1 ) ( A ) & I will be seeking a legal remedy.

Please DELETE the account, or inaccurate information, from my file immediately XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX

Issue: Managing an account — Cashing a check
Company: U.S. BANCORP
State: WI

Complaint narrative:
On XX/XX/XXXX, I received a text alert that my US Bank checking account had been overdrawn. When I reviewed my account, I found that {$37000.00} had been withdrawn from my account as a result of XXXX fraudulent checks. Immediately after I discovered that the XXXX fraudulent checks had been cashed, I visited the local US Bank branch. The staff at the branch assisted me with filing an Affidavit with the fraud department. I want to emphasize that NO ONE AT US BANK alerted me that these checks had been cashed. The only notice that I received was that my account had been overdrafted. In the process of filling out the forms, it was discovered that XXXX different individuals had tried to cash XXXX ADDITIONAL FRAUDULENT CHECKS worth {$71000.00} on XX/XX/XXXX. While these checks were not processed, I was NOT NOTIFIED of this fraudulent activity. Had I been notified, this entire fiasco would have been avoided, and my money would have been secure and safe in my accounts. 

I have spent countless hours following up with US Bank and reporting this fraudulent activity and asking for return of my money. No representative from US Bank has followed up with me regarding this. When I inquired with the XXXX Department as to how long this would take, I was told that they did not have a time limit or guess on how long this would take. When I asked how to file a complaint, I was told there was NO COMPLAINT PROCESS.
