Company: EQUIFAX, INC.
State: CA

Complaint narrative:
One of the major credit bureaus, Equifax, maintains a wrong record of my date of birth. The wrong data of my identification made me being rejected in many situations. As a real case happened in XXXX, I was unable to get Internet service from XXXX. I first applied via phone calls, all agents failed, and suggested me to go to a solid store in person. I did so, but failed again. My problem was escalated a couple levels in my 3 hours waiting there. Even the store manager keyed in his own privileged code trying to surpass the blockage, their system wouldn't let him overwrite the mismatch between birth year XXXX on driving license vs. birth year XXXX from credit report. I asked which one of the 3 major credit companies provided that wrong data? The store  manager replied it was confidential, they were not allowed to reveal it. I understand that your organization advises us to first try contacting directly involved company for resolution. But in my case, I really dont know which company to file complaint with. I wish you would be willing to offer help to me. Any help from you shall be highly appreciated.

Company: TRANSWORLD SYSTEMS INC
State: VA

Complaint narrative:
I was in the United States XXXX and applied for a XXXX credit card to shop at XXXX XXXX. My credit limit was {$6000.00} and I was owing about {$5000.00} when I fell behind in my monthly payments. About 4 months or so later, I sent in payment but it was returned and I was informed that it had been sent to a Collection Agency. When I contacted that Agency, I was informed that the amount due was about {$9000.00}. All attempts to get them to explain why they kept tacking on amounts without a court order proved abortive. The file changed hands several times and each time, the amount went higher and higher. 
These various companies added more than {$12000.00} to the original amount and the current Collection Agency - Transworld Systems , Inc filed to garnish my retirement pay in the amount of {$17000.00} and has been collecting {$140.00} for almost 4 years now. They have collected more than {$7000.00} to date and yet, they are not prepared to stop. 
Please help me checkmate this company.
