Complaint ID: 8172371

Date Received: 2024-01-15

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 a matter of great concern regarding my account with the items in questioned. I believe my situation deserves immediate attention and resolution. I have encountered persistent issues regarding the removal of a late close on my account, which is included in a bankruptcy. Despite numerous attempts to rectify this matter through various channels, the issue remains unresolved, causing me significant distress and inconvenience. I filed for bankruptcy, and my account with XXXX XXXX was included in the bankruptcy proceedings. As a result, I expected that the late close on my account would be appropriately addressed in accordance with the legal processes outlined during bankruptcy. However, despite my best efforts, such as contacting customer service, submitting documentation, etc. ], the late close remains on my account, adversely affecting my financial standing and creditworthiness. I understand that mistakes can occur, but the persistence of this issue has prompted me to bring it to your attention formally. I kindly request that you investigate and resolve this matter promptly. I believe in fair and just practices, and I trust that Credit Bureaus will take the necessary steps to rectify this situation in a timely and efficient manner. If there are any specific documents or information required from my end to facilitate the resolution process, please let me know at your earliest convenience. I appreciate your attention to this matter and look forward to a swift and satisfactory resolution. I am asking for your assistance to remove these items in my credit file : XXXX XXXX XXXXXXXX Balance : {$1100.00} - Please investigate the account name, date of last activity, and account balance. This information seems to be misleading. This will need to be removed pronto. XXXX XXXX XXXX Balance : {$85.00} - I need the following investigated account name, date of last activity, and opening date. I believe this information may be wrong. I need this removed immediately. XXXX XXXX XXXX Balance : {$0.00} - This bankruptcy file date is wrong and this bankruptcy is out of statute for reporting on a credit report. And it should no longer be reported because it is past the 10 years statute of limitations that a credit bureau can report. Please update the filing date and then remove it. XXXX XXXX Bankruptcy Reference # : XXXX Liability : {$0.00} - I did not file a XXXX XXXX bankruptcy with the courts. When I spoke with the court clerk that did not have records. Please provide the contact information of the 3rd party data furnisher that provided you as the credit reporting agency with this misinformation so I may contact them directly.

Consumer Complaint: I am listing accounts below that have been reported inaccurately on my credit report. In compliance with the Fair Credit Reporting Act and as a gesture of respect to the Federal Trade Commission Committee on accuracy and completeness of credit information I am formally writing in today to dispute negative information appearing on my credit. This incorrect information is greatly hindering me from getting the credit score I deserve and hopefully, this letter will resolve all the issues on my credit. I demand to see Verifiable Proof ( an original Consumer Contract with my Signature on it ) of the accounts listed below. Your failure to positively verify these accounts has hurt my ability to obtain credit.

Issue: Incorrect information on your report

Subissue: Information belongs to someone else

Consumer Complaint: I am writing to bring to your attention a matter of great concern related to what appears to be an ongoing and persistent issue of multiple attempts to remove fraudulent items from my credit report. Despite my previous efforts to rectify this situation, it is disconcerting to observe that unauthorized parties are making repeated and unauthorized attempts to alter my credit information. I wish to outline the following specific concerns : I have noticed and documented several instances where fraudulent items on my credit report have been subject to removal attempts without my authorization or validation. These unauthorized actions not only compromise the accuracy of my credit history but also raise serious questions about the security of my credit information. Despite the evident impact of these removal attempts, I have not been contacted by your agency for proper verification or authentication. The absence of thorough verification procedures is alarming and contributes to the ongoing vulnerability of my credit information. Given the persistent nature of these removal attempts, I am deeply concerned about the heightened risk of identity theft. I have taken immediate steps to secure my personal information, but I urgently request a comprehensive investigation to prevent further unauthorized alterations to my credit report. I formally request that your agency conducts an immediate and thorough investigation into these incidents. Additionally, I seek regular updates on the progress of the investigation, along with detailed information on any actions taken to prevent and rectify the unauthorized removal attempts on my credit report. To assist in your investigation, I have attached relevant documents. I understand the importance of maintaining the integrity and security of credit information, and I trust that your agency will treat this matter with the urgency it deserves. I am asking for your assistance to remove these fraudulent items in my credit file : DEPT OF ED / XXXX XXXX Opened XXXX XXXX, XXXX Balance {$0.00} ; DEPT OF ED / XXXX XXXX Opened XXXX XXXX, XXXX Balance {$0.00} ; XXXX XXXX Inquiry XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX Opened XXXX XXXX, XXXX Balance {$760.00} ; XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXXXXXX Opened XXXX XXXX XXXX Balance {$370.00}.

Consumer Complaint: XXXX, XXXX, and Equifax continue to report late payments on the account XXXX XXXX XXXX which is inaccurate. Who gave XXXX, XXXX, and Equifax permission to report this account as late? The credit bureaus play a vital role in commerce and as a consumer I have the right to credit in which I am being denied due to the inaccurate reporting of these late payments. Neither credit bureau has sent me notice to opt out of these alleged late payments furthermore I have no knowledge of ever giving my expressed or written consent to report this financial account.

I believe it is essential to bring this matter to your attention and request prompt resolution to rectify the issues I have encountered.
