Issue: Incorrect information on your report

Subissue: Information belongs to someone else

Consumer Complaint: I attended a work event in XXXX of XXXX where our purses and wallets were stolen by hired event staff. Police reports were made. I begin to monitor my credit report in XX/XX/XXXX, and I have noticed accounts being reported to my report that I have no affiliation with or knowledge of. I began to research the creditors. I contacted the CRA ( XXXX, XXXX, Equifax ) requesting that these accounts be verified in XXXX. After XXXX correspondences via mail and phone, non-verifiable accounts are still being reported to my credit profile. Furnishing this information to profile is in violation of 15 USC 1681B. Not once have I given any written permission or consent for these accounts to be reported to my profile nor did I have any knowledge of them. These accounts with creditors listed : XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX I have never had any accounts with. Furthermore furnishing accounts to my profile resulting from identity theft violates 15 USC 1681 C-2. These accounts are affecting my credit preventing me from accessing any new lines of credit.

Issue: Incorrect information on your report

Subissue: Account status incorrect

Consumer Complaint: During the pandemic I was laid off. I contacted XXXX XXXX in which I have auto contract with and requested accommodation due to the pandemic. I explained that I was laid off and I was assured that my account would not be placed in any default status. I recently pulled a copy of my credit report in XXXX and noticed a series of late payment posted during the pandemic dates. I contacted XXXX XXXX and the CRA 's in XXXX to get this rectified and was assured the late payments occurred due to an automated billing error and would be removed. Furnishing the late payments to my account is in violation of 15 USC 1681 S-2 ( F ), as those periods were covered during the CARES Act. Furnishing those payments to my account as it stated as a billing error, further violates 15 USC 1666B. Posting those inaccurate late payments to my account are affecting my payment history and ability to obtain credit.

Issue: Improper use of your report

Subissue: Reporting company used your report improperly

Consumer Complaint: 15USC 1681 a ( d ) ( 2 ) ( A ) ( i ) clearly states that transactions between the consumer and the Person/Corporation making the report is NOT included on the consumer reports. Yet XXXX is reporting this information.. The reporting of excluded information pursuant to 15USC 1681 a ( d ) ( 2 ) ( A ) ( i ) on a consumer report is a clear violation of Metro2 compliance. Provide me with the Metro2 compliance disclosure on reporting transactions to a consumer reporting agency. I need the transactions reporting as late, collection/charge-off status and any other derogatory information deleted from my consumer reports effective immediately. Before you think to reply that this account has been " validated ', let 's be clear that I am not asking you to validate or verify anything. So please do not respond by telling me that as a tactic to waste my valuable time. Some of the negative accounts have been placed in Collection/Charge-Off Status WITHOUT mailing me a copy of IRS form 1099-C Cancellation of Debt. XXXX and the creditors reporting collections/Charge-Offs, late payments/other derogatory information in my consumer reports are in violation of 26 USC ss 6050P Returns Relating to the Cancellation of Indebtedness By Certain Entities. If this derogatory account information is not deleted from my consumer reports within 30 days, I will be forced to officially file IRS form 3949A : Information Referral AND IRS form 211 : Application For Award For Original Information Overview with the Internal Revenue Service against ALL entities involved.
