Issue: Attempts to collect debt not owed — Debt was result of identity theft
Company: Financial Recoveries, Inc.
State: WI

Complaint narrative:
I disputed a collection from a debt collection agency due to the collection not being mine ( identity theft ). The collection appears to be XXXX XXXX XXXX. I believe that my ex husband opened this account with his previous girlfriend while we were married 12 years ago and used my identification information ( state issued ID, social security number ) instead of hers due to her having a criminal record. The debt was for renting an apartment. He has since then filed bankruptcy and was relieved of the collection but it remains under my name even though it is not my debt and I did not authorize the use of my identity. The collection is not on my credit report, it actually was dropped from it due to the identity theft claim. The collection agency sent me a letter XX/XX/22 stating I still owed this debt. They are threatening to garnish my current husband 's wages for it even though it is also not his debt. The collection amount is {$5000.00}, originally from XXXX XXXX XXXX. The collection agency is Financial Recoveries Inc, located in XXXX XXXX XXXX WI.

Company: EQUIFAX, INC.
State: OK

Complaint narrative:
I am submitting this complaint on behalf of XXXX XXXX XXXX of Colorado. ( Third party CRA ) We are getting a lot of complaints from our clients regarding their clients being put on trigger lists after they pull credit. So this complaint is against Equifax, XXXX XXXX and XXXX. A lot of these clients have had their borrowers opt out and put their number on the Do Not Call Registry. We understand that it is the credit bureaus selling their information and we believe this to be an unfair practice. Our clients borrowers are getting bombarded with phone calls and emails once their credit is pulled. These borrowers complain to their loan officers who in turn complain to us. It seems to have gotten a lot worse over the last few months. We have guided them in every way possible to help their borrowers avert this from happening but it is ongoing and extremely frustrating for their clients and for our clients. We do not condone this practice or understand how it is legal to sell a borrowers information without their specific permission. We are hoping an investigation can be done regarding this practice and steps be put in place to hopefully end it or at least have a fool proof way of guaranteeing a borrower they will not be placed on these lists. I am available for any discussion on this matter.
