Equifax and XXXX are incorrectly reporting a charge-off account where I am shown as an Authorized User on CRDTONEBNK partial account number XXXX. ( Please see page 5 of the attached credit report. ) I have already called the bank and let them know that I never gave permission to be added as an Authorized User to this account.

Company: TRANSUNION INTERMEDIATE HOLDINGS, INC.
State: NC

Complaint narrative:
In XXXX of 2019, I disputed a mark on my credit report being listed by XXXX XXXX and the dispute results came back as " verified and accurate ''. Thus, I wrote XXXX XXXX a letter asking for the records used to verify the debt. In fact, I specifically asked for a copy of the original contract and full accounting for the amount claimed to be owed. However, In XXXX XXXX response letter, I didn't receive neither of the requested documents nor did I receive any other documentation that validates this debt. Furthermore, in XXXX XXXX response letter, it is stated that I didn't provide sufficient or specific information that explains the basis for my dispute. This is false. Once again, my basis for the dispute is that I have no knowledge of this debt, thus, I do not owe the amount claimed to be owed. I have attached the documents that XXXX XXXX is trying to use to verify this debt. This document does not prove that i owe this debt. Thus, how could the results have come back as " verified and accurate ''??

Complaint narrative:
I never heard of this company before. I am not the owner of the student loan from IOWA XXXX XXXX, I contacted Equifax and address the issue but all they sent is a paper trail showing the accounts and that it has been verified. Insufficient information. I requested Method of Verification - evidence such as name, address and telephone number they contacted from the original creditor but they failed. That tells me that this is some kind of computer generated verification an e-Oscar. Please get rid of the accounts as soon as possible and notify me when you do this so I can go ahead and apply for the things I need to apply for..

Company: CITIZENS FINANCIAL GROUP, INC.
State: TX

Complaint narrative:
On XX/XX/2019 I called to check if Citizens One had received the check to cancel Gap Insurance on my car. The representative told me no. I continued to call everyday telling them I wanted to pay off my car but wanted everything in order before the process was done. XXXX XXXX had sent the check but the bank customer service could not find the check. On one of the days a representative in the finance department asked me if the check had my loan number and vin number on it. I checked with XXXX and XXXX assured me she had. I do not have names since I spoke with a different person in their finance department everyday. On one day in particular a man gave me a ticket number of XXXX and sent it to the back room to match the check with my information. On another day a female representative in the finance office put me on hold and got back on the phone with another answer of no. On another day one female in the finance department said if the back room couldnt find a customer for the check they would throw it away. I dealt with all the comments of not being able to find the check until the XXXX of XXXX. I called and asked XXXX if they could write me a check for the cancellation of the Gap Insurance and I would pay off the loan of my car and they did. I called Citizens or Citizens One as the name changed each time I called for the payoff. The department gave me the payoff of {$3200.00}. I decided to go to my bank, XXXX XXXX  and send a wire transfer because I had enough of a so called lost check. The banker, XXXX, helped me on XX/XX/2019 to send the wire transfer but had a question if the bank was Citizens or Citizens One and asked if I would give him permission to speak with them. I put my phone on speaker and my wire transfer was sent to Citizens Bank. The banker and I were on speaker when the payoff dropped  to {$3000.00}. I am worried this bank will not send my title to me because of everything I have been through. Their acct number is XXXX, aba number XXXX. My loan account number is XXXX. The last 4 of my ss is XXXX. My name is XXXX XXXX. My address is XXXX XXXX XXXX, XXXX, Texas XXXX. Their address is Citizens One, XXXX XXXX XXXX, XXXX, RI XXXX. They have another address of Citizens One, Consumer Loan Servicing, XXXX, XXXX XXXX XXXX, XXXX, RI XXXX XXXX. I was never late on my car payment and always had insurance on it. I want to be sure I receive my title as the bank said they send titles to Texas electronically and I will need to go to the DMV in a week to pick it up. It was an unpleasant and unnecessary experience. I want my title and be done with this bank.

XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX stated I opened an account with them on XXXX, 2017. I never opened an account with XXXX XXXX on XXXX, 2017. I have asked this company to provide signed application, copy of drivers license and they have refused to do so. This is identity theft, and I want this fraudulent account remove from my credit file. I have also asked Equifax to remove and investigate this account, and they have refused to do so. Im not sure why Equifax is allowing a company to report fraudulent accounts to my consumer credit file. Please send me copies of where I signed credit card receipts since XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX is saying I owe { {$1700.00} }. The Fair Credit Reporting Act, 15 U.S.C. 1681 is U.S. Federal Government legislation enacted to promote the accuracy, fairness, and privacy of consumer information contained in the files of consumer reporting agencies. Equifax is not following The Fair Credit Reporting Act and I want something done about it!

Product: Debt collection — Medical debt
Issue: Written notification about debt — Didn't receive notice of right to dispute
Company: Commonwealth Financial Systems, Inc.
State: OH

Complaint narrative:
Commonwealth Finance has continued to list an old medical bill that I do not even recognize as a new debt collection with all 3 credit bureaus. As I have been working very hard to pay off collections that are legitimate and they have now " re-aged '' the collection and post it again as if it is new. When it was previously listed on my credit report over 7   years ago it was for a different amount. 

The collection lists XXXX XXXX XXXX in the amount of {$1000.00}. I have never heard of XXXX and have not been able to get any more information about the debt. Whatever it is I know it was from 9 years ago originally. 

In addition to this, I have never received a collection letter from Commonwealth Finance listing the right to dispute the debt. 

Most recently they posted it as a new collection on XX/XX/2019. Even if the debt is legitimate it is older than 7 years and should not be listed on my credit report. 

This tacting of " re-aging '' the debt appears to be against FCRA guidelines and is fraudulent. 

It is currently preventing me from renting a new home for my family as it brings my score down over 100 points. 

I have contacted them in the past and they were rude and only interested trying to scare me into paying this bill that should have fallen off my credit two years ago.

Company: Leap Credit, LLC
State: SC

Complaint narrative:
Due to extenuating circumstance in my immediate family, I took out a payday high interest loan with Leap Credit {$1000.00}. I now realize these loans are of no benefit to working families. My father was hospitalized from XX/XX/2019 through the end of XX/XX/2019. This loan was taken out to provide needed resources to my mother with massive medical financial constraints of my father 's care. I took out what I thought to be a short term loan with hopes of an early payoff. After a few large direct debits from my bank account I examined my balance and was looking for an early payoff. Thank goodness I reviewed the balance of my account in the online portal. They are fraudently attempting collection against my bank account and refusing to negotiate a payoff. I called Leap Credit on several occasions to request for them to update my loan terms and balance and they refused. Due to the nature of the inaccurate information and Leap Credit 's denial of blanket checks against my bank account ( they do not list their name on the debits ), I requested for my Bank XXXX XXXX to investigate and place a stop payment from this company. See a copy of the ghost bank drafts.
