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

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

Consumer Complaint: This is in fact another complaint about Equifax and is in reference to the following XXXX already submitted complaints. Reference XXXX, XXXX, XXXX & XXXX. See these previous complaints for the full details. This complaint is for you to look at the XXXX complaints all the way back to 2021 and nothing has been done about this company and there are so many people complaining about the same thing I am complaining about. Their unprofessionalism, their fraud and the fact they are not working within the United States! This should concern whoever is reading my complaints and every person in the US including people in high ranking security levels. If they are working outside of the United States we are in a major security breach with them having access to everyone 's financial information, including all the places we have lived and currently live, and our occupations. This is a very serious matter and quite frankly could ruin the United States by them selling our information. I am telling you if whoever is researching this did a little digging you will find no " customer service reps '' that their first language in English?! This is a major problem and keeping a lot of people from getting credit. Please, Please for the love of ALL thing HOLY investigate this company thoroughly!!

Subissue: Reporting company used your report improperly

Consumer Complaint: According to the information given to us from the Bankruptcy Court, they do not report the bankruptcies.to the credit reporting agencies, per ( 17 ) ( CFR ) ( 160.7 ) ( FG1 ). Therefore, we hereby refrain from sharing our non-public personal information. Additionally, we request that you provide us with an updated privacy policy that reflects our opt out preferences and an updated copy of our credit reports from all three ( 3 ) credit agencies. See letter from Trustee Agency below. *************************************************************************************************** XX/XX/2024 Dear XXXXXXXX XXXX XXXXXXXX XXXX, I wanted to correspond regarding our previous conversation on the credit bureaus, the trusteeship, and your completed bankruptcy case. Upon the completion of a XXXX XXXX Bankruptcy plan the standing trustee files a Final Report and Account with the Bankruptcy Courthouse. The trusteeship does not report to nor correspond with the credit bureaus. After the Trustees final report is filed with the court, the presiding judge will discharge the trustee from the case and officially close the bankruptcy. As the status of the case changes based on the orders from the corresponding judge, the updated status become available through the courts electronic records. It is often the use of these electronic court records through which relevant parties are made aware of the status of a particular bankruptcy case. In addition to the courts electronic records, each creditor listed under the bankruptcy plan is also notified by the court of the discharging and closing of the case. Some of these creditors will update their own records with the credit bureaus so that the completed status of the case is reflected. Best regards, XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX Trustee, XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX, XXXX XXXX XXXX, IL XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX

Issue: Incorrect information on your report

Subissue: Information belongs to someone else

Consumer Complaint: There is information that on my consumer report that is a result of identity theft. I did not provide written permission of instructions for the identified transactions to be reported on my consumer report. I am requesting that the reporting of this information be blocked and deleted. As a federally protected consumer I'm seeking proof of the alleged debt, under the doctrine of estoppel by silence, XXXX XXXX XXXX ( Mo ) XXXX XXXX XXXX, XXXX, I may presume that no proof of the alleged debt, nor therefore any such debt, in fact exists. In a good faith effort to resolve this matter amicably, I demand for proof of the debt, specifically the alleged contract or other instrument bearing my signature in wet ink, as well as proof of your authority in this matter. Absent such proof, you must terminate this collection action and correct any erroneous reports of this debt as mine. For the record, I state again that as I have no account with you, nor am I your customer, nor have I entered into a contract with you, I must ask for the following information : 1 ) Please evidence your authorization under 15 USC 1692 ( e ) 15 USC 1692 ( f ) and USC 1692 ( g ) in this alleged matter. 2 ) What is your authorization of law for your collection of information? 3 ) What is your authorization of law for your collection of this alleged debt? 4 ) Please evidence your authorization to do business or operate in the state. 5 ) Please provide proof of the alleged debt, including specifically the alleged contract or other instrument bearing my wet signature. You have 7 days of this notice to respond. Your failure to respond, on point, in writing, hand signed, and in a timely manner, will work as a waiver to any and all of your claims in this matter, and will entitle me to presume that you sent your letter ( XXXX ) in error, and that this matter is permanently closed. Your continued silence is unacceptable. Either provide the proof or correct the record to remove the invalid debt from my credit files with the three-primary credit-reporting agencies. You are currently in violation of the Fair Credit Reporting Act and the Fair Debt Collection Act. I can't obtain housing or employment due to the violations on my credit file. Failure to respond within 7 days of this letter will begin my small claims action against your company. I will be seeking { {$5000.00} } in damages for the following : 1 ) Defamation 2 ) Negligent Enablement of Identity Fraud 3 ) Violation of the Fair Credit Reporting Act After obtaining the judgment against your company, I will obtain a Writ of Execution from the Sheriffs office in your county and I will begin the process of attaching property or funds to satisfy the judgment. For the purposes of 15 USC 1692 et seq., this Notice has the same effect as a dispute to the validity of the alleged debt and a dispute to the validity of your claims. I am requesting that the reporting of this information be blocked and deleted. My request to block is not being made in error ; nor is my request to block being made on the basis of a material misrepresentation of fact by me relevant to the request to block the identified transactions. You are in violation under 15 U.S.Code 1681i ( 5 ) removal of Inaccurate/Invalidated Credit Information and 15 U.S.Code 1681 ( e ) ( b ) Compliance procedures maximum possible accuracy & section 604 15 us code 1681 B.
