Company: EQUIFAX, INC.
State: MD
Product: Credit reporting
Issue: Credit reporting company's investigation
Sub-issue: Investigation took too long

Complaint:
On XX/XX/2017 and XX/XX/2017 I request that derogatory items must be removed from my credit report as the mere reporting of items prior to debt validation constitutes collection activity. I also had requested the names, addresses and telephone numbers of individuals contacted during the investigation. The investigation took too long. and more than 30 days, etc. In addition I did not get proper notice of investigation status or results. As of this moment, Equifax have not done your duty mandated under the law. Equifax inaction in this matter is inexcusable, and your disregard for the law is contemptible. Equifax had 30 days to complete the re-investigation, yet you have failed to respond. On XX/XX/2017 Equifax failed to response within 15 days deadline. Attached copies of online dispute submittal Confirmation # XXXX, which have been delivered online both a dispute letter, dated XX/XX/2017.

Complaint:
Sallie Mea 's total amounts are inconsistent. Each time I called on XX/XX/2017 I was given a different amount that I owe. I called and spoke to agent XXXX and was told I had a past due amount of {$290.00} with a total amount of due of {$580.00}. I had to hang up to get missing information to complete my transaction because I was doing a forbearance and was given an amount by agent XXXX. Who then told me I owe a total amount of {$290.00} and owe {$580.00}. 

I checked my online statement and the amount that was past due on my online balance was {$290.00} with a total past due of {$580.00}. 

After I refreshed my computer the total amount was then change to {$590.00} and the past due remain to {$290.00}. 

I called back and spoke with XXXX agent XXXX and told him what happened and he said that the amount I was originally given was not reflecting late charges of {$15.00} which gives me a total of {$590.00}. While he said this the amount on my online statement reflected {$590.00}. I told him I needed to speak to someone who could fix the amounts so that they reflected the amounts they were giving me he gave me the number ( XXXX ) XXXX. I thought and he said they could fix it. This number redirected me to agent XXXX who then said that my late fees were {$14.00} and on his end he saw a total past due amount of {$580.00} with out the late fee of {$14.00}. This would make more sense due to the reflected amount, but at this point Sallie Mea should be audited. It seems like every time someone calls the amounts keep changing. I would like a full audit of this loan bank and your agency should keep eyes on them for inconsistency in fees and loan amounts that other customers may be having. Also, all conversations were recorded on there end and I have screen captures to prove their inconsistency.

Complaint:
I am writing to express my extreme dissatisfaction and concern regarding the erroneous late payment entries that have appeared on my credit report for my loan with XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXXXXXX. It is crucial to note that I have consistently made all my payments on time, maintaining a stellar payment record with this institution.

I have made diligent efforts to rectify this matter by contacting the XXXX Credit Bureaus, but unfortunately, my attempts have yielded no successful resolution so far. It is evident that there has been a serious error on their part, and I request of you to conduct a thorough investigation into this issue immediately. I can not stress enough the urgency of this matter. The integrity and accuracy of my credit report are of utmost importance, as it directly impacts my financial opportunities and credibility.

Sub-issue: Reporting company used your report improperly

Complaint:
I have reviewed the documentation related to the aforementioned account, and it has come to my attention that the charge-off entry is incorrect. I have never received any written validation notice as mandated by USC 1692g. Furthermore, the accuracy of the charge-off entry itself is questionable and could potentially be a violation of 15 U.S.C. 6801, as there has been no prior notification of any charge-off proceedings. 

As defined by the IRS Even if you didn't receive a tax form 1099-c you must report cancelled debt and gross income The IRS clearly states charge off as income the reporting of this account is inaccurate. INCOME DOES NOT GET REPORTED ON THE COSUMER REPORT, WHICH MAKES THIS REPORTING INACCURATE. 


I have thoroughly reviewed the Metro 2 Credit Reporting Guidelines, and it is evident that the aforementioned items do not adhere to these guidelines. As such, I request that you investigate these inaccuracies and take immediate action to delete them from my credit file.

Complaint:
I am ready to sue Trans Union. I have been back and forth with them since XX/XX/2021 about multiple things on my report that should not be there. One of the main being a XXXX  reporting. I have sent tons of letters and proof from the court they do not give the bureaus this information and they keep " verifying '' it. Now I'm just completely floored at the lying they do and got a consultation at a workshop I went to from a lawyer who seems to think I have a case for damages. I have every single response from them claiming they " verified '' something and they didn't. I even asked multiple times for them to tell me how they verified something and they sent the same response. This is my last attempt this XXXX  and these other negative things are reporting UNLAWFULLY and I've had it. This has kept me from buying a house and Trans Union just thinks they can ruin people 's reputation. If it is not resolved NOW I will be retaining that attorney.

Complaint:
In XXXX, we purchased a Vacuum from XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX, but upon receipt of the item, we found a missing vacuum attachment and sent an email to the company to request a return. After several phone call attempts without any connection, we sent several emails, but the merchant never responded. 

So we sent the items back to the address on the original package along with the order information. Upon the items being returned to the merchant 's e-commerce center, we sent additional emails to confirm their receipt and refund status by providing the detailed return tracking number, but still no response. 

After waiting for about a month for their response, on XX/XX/2023, we decided to open a dispute with our credit card company, Chase Credit Card. By the end of XXXX, we received a letter from the Chase dispute department indicating that they had to close our dispute because they didn't see the evidence that we returned the item back to the merchant. So we sent a written letter to request to re-open the dispute ( please see the enclosed written letter copy ) with the detailed return tracking information along with our emails to merchant showing our attempts to resolve the issues. 

However, today XX/XX/2023, Chase dispute department again closed the case indicating that we did not return the item despite all the return supporting documents.

Complaint:
In XX/XX/XXXX, I became severely ill and had prescriptions that were not covered by my insurance, which resulted in me paying out of pocket. By XX/XX/XXXX I was out on XXXX   until XX/XX/XXXX. I returned to work part time and because full time in XX/XX/XXXX. I went back out again in XX/XX/XXXX for surgery, and returned back to work in XX/XX/XXXX. During that time my loan was transferred from XXXX XXXX XXXX during the process of my modification to XXXX XXXX. I then applied for a modification from XXXX and they advised me that they were reverting back to my original loan of 7% at $XXXX a month. My current loan is at 2% and the payment is $XXXX. They transferred my loan after two months to Kirkland Financial Group. I contacted Kirkland Financial for a modification and they denied me stating the payment they came up with is not affordable. They came up with a payment of $XXXX.  I then applied to the Hardest Hit Fund in NJ and was approved for the assistance to bring my loan current. Kirkland declined to participate and adviced me to reapply for a modification. This was the email and terms that were offered:  Based on the documents provided, it appears we can get something done.  As of XX/XX/XXXX, per the attached payoff, you owe $XXXX. You are currently over $XXXX past due in payments alone from XX/XX/XXXX to date. We can offer a 6 month trial modification beginning XX/XX/XXXX.  You will need to pay your own Home Owner’s insurance and Property Taxes. Payments will run XX/XX/XXXX thru XX/XX/XXXX at $XXXX monthly.  You will also need to make a $XXXX “good faith payment” which can be split into 2 payments - $XXXX due on XX/XX/XXXX (along with the 1st monthly payment of $XXXX) and $XXXX due on XX/XX/XXXX (along with the last monthly payment of $XXXX).  Assuming you comply with the terms of the trial period, your loan would be modified as follows: $XXXX Balance (currently owe $XXXX)5.00% Rate (currently at 2.00%)180 month term (currently 455)$XXXX P&I payment (currently $XXXX)$XXXX Total Payment Please let us know if you accept this offer. This is our best and final offerThis company is clearly not willing to assist me with saving my home. They raised my interest rate from 2% to 5% and shorted my term. What kind of mondification is this? They don’t even want me to pay any utilities to keep me warm.
