Complaint narrative:
US Bank committed fraud by completing and negotiating pay off agreements while foreclosing on the property without notifying the guardian or the title and real estate company when they directed the payoff amount and wiring instructions. These two XXXX XXXX individuals were not capable of being served in the first place or signing. US Bank allowed us to pay them off, knowing that they had just foreclosed on a second mortgage with them one month prior to the payoff without informing us at all. We would like to reverse the foreclosure action for this reason or receive our hard earned equity of XXXX plus our payoff amount they illegally accepted. I have reached out to all the attorneys and they inform me that it is US Bank that is responsible for this problem. It has a pending offer on the as the buyers are profiting major money off these helpless people. I want to stop the sale. We have reached out to the seller to stop the sale and they have refused as well. They have no phone or email and are barely communicating non sense at present. He worked 40 years to get this house paid for. When I met him, they had various properties to sale to pay off the mortgages on them and finally we paid off their residence in full with US Bank. If we knew it was foreclosed on, we would NOT have sent the payoff. It wasn't that much on such a nice home. The bank sold it for XXXX and we offered to pay them $ XXXX and thought they accepted, then they stopped corresponding totally. It now has an offer and we want to stop it.

Complaint narrative:
Subject : Dispute of Negative Credit Information Resulting from Equifax Data Breach I am writing to dispute inaccurate and negative information that has been reported on my credit report as a result of the data breach that Equifax suffered. As you are aware, the breach exposed sensitive personal information, including names, Social Security numbers, birth dates, addresses, and in some cases, driver 's license numbers. As a result of this breach, I believe that fraudulent activity may have affected my credit report and resulted in inaccurate reporting. 
Under the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ), I am entitled to dispute any information that I believe to be incorrect or the result of identity theft. According to Section 611 of the FCRA ( 15 U.S.C. 1681i ), credit reporting agencies are required to investigate disputes, and if any information is found to be inaccurate or unverifiable, it must be promptly corrected or removed from the credit report. 
Specifically, I am disputing the following items on my credit report : XXXX XXXX  XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXXXXXX XXXX I am requesting that these items be investigated and corrected or removed from my credit report. I believe they are the result of fraudulent activity and should not reflect negatively on my credit history. 

Please investigate this matter and provide a response within the 30-day period required under the FCRA. I also request that Equifax send me a copy of the corrected report once the investigation is complete, and that any corrections be communicated to other credit reporting agencies. 


Sincerely, XXXX XXXX

Complaint narrative:
I am writing to formally request the removal of several unauthorized accounts and inquiries from my credit report. These accounts and inquiries are not associated with me, and I did not authorize their inclusion on my report. The presence of these inaccuracies is the result of a data breach that has adversely affected my credit standing, leading to a significant drop in my FICO score.

Upon a thorough review of my credit report, I identified multiple accounts and inquiries that I do not recognize or authorize. These inaccuracies have led to negative remarks on my credit report, which are unjustly damaging my credit score and financial reputation.

The inclusion of these unauthorized accounts and inquiries has caused considerable stress and concern regarding my financial well-being. It is imperative that my credit report accurately reflects my financial history and activities. Therefore, I request an immediate investigation into these inaccuracies and the prompt removal of all unauthorized accounts and inquiries.

Company: EQUIFAX, INC.
State: GA

Complaint narrative:
I want to stress that I did not give written permission for these specific transactions to be included in my consumer report. At no point did I authorize these entries, and their presence on my report is unwarranted. Consequently, I am formally requesting that these accounts be blocked and removed from my report immediately. 

It is important to clarify that this request is not due to any error or negligence on my part. There has been no oversight or misunderstanding on my end. Instead, this issue arises solely from the fact that I did not explicitly authorize the inclusion of these transactions in my report. I am diligent about maintaining the accuracy and privacy of my financial records, and these unauthorized entries compromise that integrity. 

I trust that you will handle this matter with the urgency and seriousness it deserves. Please confirm the removal of these transactions from my report as soon as possible. Thank you for your prompt attention to this issue.
