Issue: Incorrect information on your report

Subissue: Account information incorrect

Consumer Complaint: XXXX, Equifax and XXXX have violated 15 USC 1681 as to reporting 100 percent accuracy to my credit profile. I have have since noticed when trying to purchase a home that ( XXXX XXXX XXXX ) Is listed several times on my credit report. Meaning it's being reported under this name and then under the debt collector that they illegally sold my information to. I by the way have no written permission to sell anyone my personal information. I believe this reporting is a double jeopardy. Although the balances might not reflect under each name I still have the derogatory mark and the negative remarks for both accounts effecting my credit score. But above all not XXXX of the XXXX reports for either company reflects the correct or accurate information. It is very deceptive when one shows a whole different amount being {$300.00} and the debt collector shows {$430.00} XXXX company stating the date opened as being XX/XX/XXXX and the other as XX/XX/XXXX. This is impossible to have XXXX different amounts and open dates for the same debt. So with that being said why would anyone reviewing my credit report see this as the same company. They would not and it was made to look this way to cheat the system. This has been very damaging to my report for a long time. I have been being negatively impacted by this and violated in so many different way. The credit bureaus have allowed such to take place. I have brought this to their attention and disputes several times and ways only to receive a validation of the debt back. This is a very slimy way of reporting and does not by any means comply with the frca laws to protect consumers reports. I want both accounts removed from my report or I will take legal action. The FDCPA laws are not being followed and I want it to end now.. I want my creditworthiness back.

Consumer Complaint: These fraudulent entries have had a profoundly negative impact on my credit score, making it difficult for me to access credit, obtain loans, and even secure employment opportunities. I have followed all the appropriate procedures for disputing these fraudulent items, including submitting supporting documentation and adhering to the regulations outlined in the Fair Credit Reporting Act. Despite my repeated efforts, the fraudulent items persist on my credit report, and no corrective action has been taken. I am deeply concerned about the harm this situation is causing to my financial well-being and overall quality of life. I have attached copies of all my correspondence, dispute letters, and supporting documentation to this complaint for your reference. I expect a thorough and prompt investigation into this matter to remove the fraudulent items from my credit report. I kindly request that you provide me with a written response detailing the results of your investigation and the actions taken to rectify my credit report within 30 days of your receipt of this complaint, as required by the Fair Credit Reporting Act. In addition to the removal of these fraudulent entries, I also request that the credit bureau furnish a written statement detailing measures taken to prevent such fraudulent items from reoccurring in the future. This is crucial to ensure the protection of my credit and to prevent others from experiencing similar hardships. I am fully willing to cooperate and provide any additional information or evidence required during the investigation process. Failure to address this matter in a satisfactory manner will leave me with no choice but to pursue legal action to remove these fraudulent items and seek damages for the financial harm inflicted upon me. I am deeply troubled by the continued presence of fraudulent items on my credit report, despite my numerous attempts to rectify the situation. I trust that the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau will conduct a thorough investigation into this matter and take the necessary steps to promptly remove these inaccuracies. I am asking for your assistance to remove the following fraudulent items in my credit report : XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX Balance : {$2200.00} XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX {$1300.00} XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX {$2200.00} XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX : {$1300.00} XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX {$240.00} XXXX.
