Issue: Incorrect information on your report

Subissue: Personal information incorrect

Consumer Complaint: I reached out to the company regarding the removal of the incorrect information and was denied. In addition, the credit scores for XXXX and Equifax are normally at least XXXX points lower than XXXX and the actual FICO scores that are used by the financial institutions that are providing the consumer credit transactions. I'm not sure why one would have to ask multiple times to have inaccurate information removed from their credit report and have it not be done. I have attached a list of the discrepancies from each reporting agency and hope that this can be resolved and corrected quickly as it is negatively affecting my credit.

Issue: Incorrect information on your report

Subissue: Personal information incorrect

Consumer Complaint: I'm trying to purchase a home and I realized that I have damages on my credit report from all 3 credit bureaus ; XXXX, Equifax, and XXXX. I notice that some incorrect names and addresses are connected to inquiries, credit cards, and charge-off accounts that are currently reporting on my credit report and significantly impacting my score. According to the 15 USC 1681 law, there should not be any damages on my report. It's a defamation of my character.

Issue: Written notification about debt

Subissue: Didn't receive enough information to verify debt

Consumer Complaint: I am writing to formally dispute and request the removal of a fraudulent account that has appeared on my credit report with your bureau. I have already successfully disputed this account with the other credit reporting agencies, and they have promptly taken the necessary actions to rectify the situation. The fraudulent account in question is XXXX XXXX, and I believe it is a result of identity theft. I reported this issue to your bureau on XX/XX/XXXX and I have submitted all required documentation, including the identity theft affidavit, a copy of my ID, and any other supporting evidence. I am confused and concerned about why your bureau has not acted in accordance with the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ) and allowed this false information to tarnish my credit score. Failure to comply with this request within the legally mandated time frame will leave me with no option but to pursue legal action to protect my rights under the FCRA.

Issue: Problem with a company's investigation into an existing problem

Subissue: Their investigation did not fix an error on your report

Consumer Complaint: I hope this letter finds you well. I am writing to bring to your attention the persistent issues I have encountered regarding the late opening of my account and a charge off account with Credit Bureaus. Despite multiple attempts to rectify the situation, I have been met with ongoing challenges, and I am deeply dissatisfied with the level of service I have received. I initiated the process of opening an account with your company, and it has come to my attention that the account opening was significantly delayed. This delay has caused inconvenience and frustration, as I rely on timely access to the services provided by your company. I have made several attempts to address this matter by contacting your customer service department, but unfortunately, the issue remains unresolved. The lack of responsiveness and failure to provide a satisfactory resolution have only added to my dissatisfaction. I understand that errors can occur, and I am willing to cooperate in resolving this matter promptly. However, the repeated unsuccessful attempts to rectify the situation have led me to escalate this matter formally. I kindly request the following actions be taken to address this issue : A thorough investigation into the reasons behind the delay in opening my account and the several appearance of charge off account. A clear and concise explanation of the steps being taken to rectify the situation. Timely and effective communication throughout the resolution process. I expect a resolution to this matter within the specified timeframe from the date of receipt of this letter. If the issue persists without a satisfactory resolution, I may have no choice but to escalate this matter further, including filing a complaint with relevant regulatory authorities. I believe in your commitment to providing excellent service, and I trust that you will take this matter seriously. I appreciate your prompt attention to this issue and look forward to a swift resolution. I am asking for your assistance to correct these late open account and remove the charge off account in my credit file : XXXX XXXX Balance Owed : {$5100.00} Date Opened : XX/XX/2020 - You are reporting different information from other bureaus. Per FCRA, reporting must be 100 % accurate or the information must be updated. XXXX XXXX Balance Owed : {$0.00} - The limit to this account was a fraction of the amount due it as stated. That is utterly unfathomable! Had a proper investigation been conducted you would have seen the error and corrected it immediately. You failed to do your job ; you must now REMOVE THIS ITEM ALTOGETHER.
