Product: Credit reporting, credit repair services, or other personal consumer reports — Other personal consumer report
Issue: Incorrect information on your report — Personal information incorrect
Company: EQUIFAX, INC.
State: GA

Complaint narrative:
Amongst the three credit bureaus my personal information is reporting inaccurately which violates my consumer rights per the following information : Firstly, there are differences in the name of the account holder across the three credit bureaus. XXXX lists the name as " XXXX XXXX XXXX, '' while XXXX and Equifax both list the name as " XXXX XXXX XXXX. '' This discrepancy in the spelling of the middle name could potentially cause confusion and lead to errors in the reporting of the credit history. 

Secondly, there are discrepancies in the current and previous addresses listed by the different credit bureaus. XXXX lists the current address as " XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX, GA XXXX, '' while XXXX lists the same address but without the " XXXX '' in XXXX XXXX name. Equifax lists the address as " XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX, GA XXXX. '' Similarly, the previous address listed by XXXX is " XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX, GA XXXX, '' while Equifax lists the same address but without the zip code extension. These inconsistencies in the formatting of the address could lead to confusion and potentially impact the accuracy of the credit report. 

Finally, there are differences in the employers listed by the different credit bureaus. XXXX lists " NOT PROVIDED '' as an employer, while XXXX and Equifax do not. This discrepancy could raise questions about the accuracy and completeness of the credit report. 

These inconsistencies may violate the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ), which requires credit reporting agencies to ensure the accuracy and completeness of the credit reports they produce. Specifically, Section 607 of the FCRA requires that credit bureaus " follow reasonable procedures to assure maximum possible accuracy of the information '' in credit reports. Additionally, Section XXXX of the FCRA requires credit bureaus to provide a free copy of the credit report to consumers once every 12 months, so that they can review the information and report any errors or discrepancies.

Consumer complaint received 2023-04-11 00:00:00
Product: Debt collection — Credit card debt
Issue: False statements or representation — Impersonated attorney, law enforcement, or government official
Company: Mandarich Law Group, LLP
State: FL

Complaint narrative:
On XX/XX/2023 I submitted a complaint for Mandarich Law Group LLP regarding misrepresentation and a alleged debt. On XX/XX/2023 responded to the complaint with false and misleading information. Mandarich Law Group LLP, has yet to resolve my issue or comply with my request. In page1 of MLG response paragraph 3. Findings and results thats i have attached. MLG states that I misinterpreted title 15 U.S.C 1692e ( 3 ) that MLG never claimed to be a debt collector. If you take a look at exhibit A submitted by MLG of MLG response it clearly states on the first line under my personal information that " Mandarich Law Group LLP is a debt collector, trying to collect a debt ''. There is no misinterpretation. I received a debt collection notice from Mandarich Law Group LLP stating that they were attempting to collect an alleged debt. Pursuant to Title 15 U.S.C 1692e ( 3 ) no debt collector shall give the false representation or implication that any individual is an attorney or that any communication is from an attorney in regard to the collection of a debt. Furthermore, if so, it is illegal for an attorney or official of the court to act as a debt collector. As a consumer this is very misleading to me.

The paperwork was from XXXX XXXX XXXX with a garnishment of my pay which I had no idea was even held. I had not received anything related to a court. On the court papers sent to me, The date stated XX/XX/XXXX. I had not received any notice of a lawsuit. Again, I received the court paperwork in XX/XX/XXXX. I called and talked to the court secretary and stated I had never received any notice from Discover about the lawsuit. The secretary stated the plaintiff had told the judge they had mailed a notice to me at my home listed on the paperwork. I informed her I never received a notice nor wasI given a notice from a process server from the court. The paperwork from the court is still in my possesion. In the paperwork it stated I had never made any payments to the balance. This is inaccurate. I paid monthly against the balance, however, the majority of the payment went to interest on purchases. In fact, from, the payments sent, between XXXX to XXXX dollars, XXXX to 90 % went to interest on Purchases. The balance continued to grow each month. Over time it became impossible to make the payments. This was very disturbing for me. Not being able to put the money towards the balance. I finally had to stop due to the balance increasing.

Complaint narrative:
Account XXXX XXXX, XXXX, is inaccurately reporting on the credit reports associated with my social security number and violates my consumer rights as evidenced by the following information : There are several inconsistencies in this account on the credit report. Firstly, Equifax has not specified the account type in detail, unlike XXXX and XXXX. Secondly, the high credit reported by XXXX and XXXX is {$3700.00}, while Equifax reports it as {$3000.00}. Thirdly, the credit limit reported by XXXX and XXXX is {$3000.00}, but Equifax reports it as {$0.00}. 

These inconsistencies violate the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ), specifically the section that requires credit reporting agencies to provide accurate and complete information in credit reports. Under FCRA Section 611 ( a ) ( 1 ), credit reporting agencies are required to " follow reasonable procedures to assure maximum possible accuracy of the information '' in a consumer 's credit report. The inconsistencies in this account information suggest that the credit reporting agencies did not follow reasonable procedures to ensure accuracy.

Additionally, FCRA Section 623 ( a ) ( 2 ) ( A ) requires credit reporting agencies to promptly correct any inaccuracies in a consumer 's credit report. Since the high credit and credit limit reported by Equifax are different from those reported by XXXX and XXXX, Equifax should have corrected the inaccuracy in its report promptly.
