Company: Resurgent Capital Services L.P.
State: FL

Complaint narrative:
Upon receiving my recent Credit report, I have found information regarding debt that is being claimed against me. 
I've been working diligently to improve my credit, despite having difficulties with collection agencies in the past. I've done my research on debt collection practices and how to manage my personal finances better. I've been saving for quite some time to pay off my accounts and finally did. This was difficult as the collectors were unwilling to work with me at times. That said I was able to pay off the accounts by starting with a new slate on my credit. The collection agencies in question have not removed the accounts from my credit report yet the rest being damaged because of it. They informed me that they would stop reporting the accounts but haven't.

Company: EQUIFAX, INC.
State: NY

Complaint narrative:
I've been disputing fraud accounts on my credit report since XX/XX/2020. I keep sending multiple sets of letters to the bureaus so the excuse of " we didn't get it '' doesn't happen. Furthermore, each letter is certified mail with tracking and each letter shows signed and delivered and yet the bureaus are still not taking any actions. The accounts are not showing in dispute nor are they removed from my report. The accounts always show up with different name variations and different account number variations and yet the bureaus seem to ignore the trend and let these fraud accounts affect my credit score. I have requested the investigation to be initiated and also verifiable proof to be submitted should the account claim to be mine. Not only have I not received any mail showing the verifiable proofs needed to justify the accounts to be on my report, I haven't even received any letters at all stating the investigations have begun. Per the FCRA and federal law, the process is supposed to be 30 days. 250 days later, I'm still here shelling out money for certified mail with no end in sight and no results to show. This is my last option before I take this up with my lawyers and sue for full compensations and damages incurred. Finally, it seems that when these complaints are submitted, the bureaus are using the excuse that they " can't confirm my identity '' to get away with taking no actions on my credit report. Please investigate this as well.

Company: TRANSUNION INTERMEDIATE HOLDINGS, INC.
State: TX

Complaint narrative:
There is a alleged bankruptcy on my credit report. I have disputed it numerous times and all 3 credit reporting agencies keep telling me it was verified through a 3rd party company. I have reached out to the companies they claim they verified it through and the companies has denied claims. I also sent the denials to all 3 credit reporting agencies and they then claimed that it was verified through the courts. I went to the courts to see if this was factual and the courts informed me in writing that they do not verify anything to anyone. I then sent the letter to the credit reporting agencies and all 3 sent decisions back saying verified but will not tell me who it was verified through, how it was verified and the name of the person who verified it. It is my rights to know those things and if they can not tell me who it was verified through, how it was verified, and the name of the person who verified it with proof of verification, all 3 reporting agencies is to remove the alleged bankruptcy right away.

I signed up for a promo offer whereby they offered {$600.00} to open a checking+savings account with direct deposit and at least {$15000.00} deposited up front and {$500.00} deposited within 60 days. They only paid XXXX. I had a phone conversation when I opened the account in ( XX/XX/XXXX ) to confirm everything was done correctly ( after I funded and set up direct deposits ), which they confirmed was done properly. Of course, now they are saying there was some technicality on the back-end with an opening date on one of the accounts not being exactly the same as the other ( I opened and funded both accounts on the same day ( XX/XX/XXXX ) ). I have spoken to 2 people after waiting on hold for over an hour each time, and both hung up after putting me on hold while getting manager. Dont do business with Citizen 's Bank! They will not honor the promotions, even if they confirm they will!

Company: DISCOVER BANK
State: SC

Complaint narrative:
I had an unauthorized purchase made on my Discover credit card in XX/XX/2019. I always pay my statements in full. I did not realize there was a fraudulent charge until I was getting my tax information together. The charge was {$1100.00} for a seminar in California. I live in SC and I have never traveled to California nor has my husband. 
My husband was using the card to buy materials for his XXXXXXXX XXXX at the time of the unauthorized purchase. I did not look at my statement at the time and paid the card off in full. As soon as I discovered the charge, I contacted Discover card and they credited my account. Two months later, Discover card added the charge back. I have tried talking to the fraud department many times and they will not dismiss the charge. 
They act like I'm lying about it. I have no reason to attend a seminar nor does my husband. Discover card is trying to sue me for someone else 's fraudulent activity.
