I was notified by my loan officer on XXXX/XXXX/15 that Equifax reported ( XXXX ) collection items from XXXX. I immediately opened a dispute with Equifax on XX/XX/XXXX. I learned that in XXXX 2015, XXXX XXXX XXXX ( XXXX ), posted ( XXXX ) collection items on my credit report on behalf of XXXX. Equifax provided the phone # to XXXX. The XXXX rep looked up the reference # s XXXX & XXXX and quickly recognized that these were in someone else 's name, not my address and not my social security #. She then indicated they would process the dispute and notify the credit bureaus and XXXX. I need to have this removed from credit report immediately. The XXXX rep stated that XXXX would have sent the erroneous info to XXXX with my name and address. XXXX does not look up anyone 's address/contact info. I have no accts with XXXX so I do n't see this as a glitch in their billing system. I have no idea how XXXX got my name. I 've never had a comcast account and have no idea why they would link XXXX XXXX 's accounts to me. I 've tried to get someone at XXXX to address this and after numerous waits and transfers between collections, billing, etc. they will only refer me to a website to complete a form that I then have to get notarized and send to them. Absolutely ridiculous. It is clear that these are not my accounts and the burden of proof ( and hopefully law ) should require XXXX to rectify this immediately. There must be some regulation around tagging fraudulent information to an individual. It 's clear there are some unscrupulous practices occurring at XXXX. How they tied my name/address to this person 's deliquent accounts should be investigated. Also their practice to require the consumer to complete a fraud report and get it notarized is an inconvienence that I as the victimized consumer should not have to endure. This issue is impacting my ability to secure a loan for a significant financial transaction which will cause me a financial hardship if not completed. This has placed a blemish on my credit history despite the fact that it will eventually be removed. I will seek damages if this inaccurate information causes me to lose this financial opportunity for which the loan is for. Someone needs to investigate to determine if this is a widespread practice at XXXX.
