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 am facing substantial challenges due to negative credit reports, hindering my chances of securing jobs, apartments, and loans. This has created a roadblock in my pursuit of a better life for myself and my children. Overcoming these hurdles is essential for our well-being and the opportunity to access generational wealth. I am determined to move forward, but the impact on my mental health and character underscores the urgency of resolving these credit issues. According, to the 15 U.S.C 1681 there should not be any damages to my credit and these reports are defamatory to my character. Your understanding and support in addressing these challenges mean a lot to me.

Issue: Incorrect information on your report

Subissue: Information belongs to someone else

Consumer Complaint: I am the author of this complaint and I have attached a copy of my driver 's license and social security card to verify my identity. I tried to apply for credit and was swiftly denied, which led me to check my credit report. I noticed several creditors and collection agencies that are reporting incomplete, incorrect, and downright fraudulent information. I have attached letters below in the attachments which will show the accounts that I am calling into question. The credit bureaus are allowing reporting in such a way that violates the Fair Credit Reporting Act and the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act. 15 USC 1681s-2b and 15 USC 1681b are being blatantly violated and from my research all parties can be held civilly liable. The credit bureaus are not conducting a reasonable investigation like they are obligated to do
