Issue: Incorrect information on your report

Subissue: Account information incorrect

Consumer Complaint: Sent notarized letters to request for a thorough investigation of my credit report. Requested old addresses and names no longer used to be removed. But they remain. Requested information on how validation was acquired, and received no information regarding the method used to validate the accuracy of the report. Disputed online and sent three letters requesting the information, the last letter dated XX/XX/2023. The information requested was not provided. Accounts were removed from the report and placed back on again. Each agency reports ( Equifax, XXXX, and XXXX ) reporting different information, ( i.e. last payment dates, open accounts showing closed on one report and charged off on another. Late payments of XXXX dates showing on one report and 150 days on another, or profit and loss ). This has caused me hardships and an inability to be able to acquire credit. Unable to receive a printed letter from XXXX and can not access my report online without having to become a member.

Issue: Improper use of your report

Subissue: Reporting company used your report improperly

Consumer Complaint: I received a copy of my credit report and found the following items to be reported in error. Upon doing a thorough research on my reports I found improper inaccuracies on the reports even after they did the thorough verification. By the provision of the fair credit reporting act I demand these items be investigated and removed from my credit report it is my understanding that you will reverify these accounts with the creditor that posted them. Please remove any information that the creditor can not verify I understand that under 15 U.S.C section 1681 ( i ) a you must complete this reinvestigation within 30 days of the receipt of this letter.These entries are in violation of my consumer rights under federal and state laws. Inaccurate Reporting : I have reason to believe that the reporting of this charge-off and collection is inaccurate, and I have not been provided with sufficient proof of the debt 's validity or any prior validation, as required by the FDCPA. Lack of Verification : The debt was never properly validated as required by the FDCPA. As a consumer, I have the right to demand validation of a debt before it is reported on my credit report or pursued for collection. Discrepancies in Reporting : The entries on my credit report are inconsistent with the legal requirements of the FCRA and FDCPA, as they do not provide a clear and accurate account of the debt. I have highlighted and attached the many discrepancies such as account open date, date reported, status, balance and many more this is defamation of my character and I demand proper validation or have these accounts deleted! ACCOUNTS : Creditor : XXXX Account Number # XXXX Amount {$760.00}. In Accordance with the Fair Credit Reporting act XXXX Account # XXXX has violated my rights.15 U.S.C 1681 section 602 A.

I kindly request that the inaccurate charge-off and collection entries be promptly investigated and removed in accordance with the FCRA, FDCPA, and all relevant consumer protection laws.It is my understanding that per 15 USC 1681 ( a ) ( 2 ) ( A ) ( I ), my consumer report should not contain Information solely as to transactions or experiences between the consumer ( me ) and the person ( you ) making the report. Payment history and the late payments associated with payment history negatively impacts my consumer report and are considered as part of my transactions and experiences between your company and me. Furthermore, I am requesting that you provide me with, in writing. the reasonable procedures ( according to 15 USC 1666 ( b ) ) that you have adopted to ensure that each periodic statement is mailed to me ( the consumer ) not later than 21 days before the payment due date. The accounts listed above have multiple inaccuracies that must be verified items such as Account type, account status, date opened etc are reporting dates and amounts incorrectly between the bureaus.

Please Assist thank you. I have also noticed some unauthorized inquires unverified and unauthorized items must be removed. I have listed the items I would like to dispute below.The items I am disputing do not relate to any transactions that I have made or authorized. Please remove this information at the earliest possible time.ComenityCapital/Game ( XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX " I spoke with Equifax several days and was provided with confirmation # XXXX and was told these inquires were deleted but yet they are still being furnished on my report ''. I have also attached a copy of the previous FTC identity theft report. Under section 604 of the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ) explains that the permissible purposes listed in FCRA section 604 ( a ) ( 3 ) are consumer specific, and it affirms that a consumer reporting agency may not provide a consumer report to a user under FCRA section 604 ( a ) ( 3 ) unless it has reason to believe that all of the consumer report information it includes pertains to the consumer who is the subject of the users request. The Bureau notes that disclaimers will not cure a failure to have a reason to believe that a user has a permissible purpose for a consumer report provided pursuant to FCRA section 604 ( a ) ( 3 ). This advisory opinion also reminds consumer report users that FCRA section 604 ( f ) strictly prohibits a person who uses or obtains a consumer report from doing so without a permissible purpose.
