Company: EQUIFAX, INC.
State: GA
Product: Credit reporting, credit repair services, or other personal consumer reports
Sub-product: Credit reporting
Issue: Incorrect information on your report
Sub-issue: Account information incorrect

Complaint:
I am writing to dispute and address concerns regarding the way my XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX 's utilization for the card ending in XXXX is being reported on my credit reports. Additionally, I kindly request that my membership start date be accurately reflected, as it plays a crucial role in maintaining an accurate credit history. 


One of the key features that I deeply value about my XXXX XXXX is its absence of a traditional pre-set spending limit. This unique attribute provides me with significant flexibility, making it essential that credit reporting accurately represents this aspect. I kindly request that the reporting clearly showcase that my card operates without a predefined credit limit, as this is one of the distinct benefits of the XXXX XXXX. 


Furthermore, I've observed that my membership start date is not accurately recorded in my credit history. Having the correct date of when I became a member is essential for a precise representation of my credit journey. I kindly request that you verify and correct this date to accurately reflect the moment I joined as a member, as this will contribute to a more precise depiction of my credit history. 


While I understand that errors can occasionally occur, I emphasize the importance of prompt resolution and adherence to the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ), Section 611 ( a ) ( 1 ) ( A ) and ( B ) [ 15 U.S.C. 1681i ]. The FCRA ensures that credit reporting agencies and creditors, such as XXXX XXXX, handle disputes with accuracy and fairness. I kindly request that this dispute be handled in full compliance with the FCRA, and I trust that any necessary adjustments will be made within the specified time frame. 

Wherefore, I also request that the necessary updates be made to my credit report with all major credit reporting agencies to ensure a comprehensive correction and accurate reporting. 


Thank you for dedicating the time to address my concerns. I genuinely value my relationship with XXXX XXXX and believe that through collaboration, we can successfully address these matters, resulting in an accurate and fair representation of my credit history and the unique features of my XXXX XXXX.

Complaint:
Beginning in late XXXX I applied for a loan. I knew that I had placed a freeze due to Equifaxs security breach. I attempted to remove mine and my wifes freeze in order to obtain the loan but needed a security pin to do so. A pin I never received. I have requested for the pin 3 times. Two via phone and one in writing, but yet they still do not know where my wifes or my pin is, and can not unlock my report so I can get a loan. It is now mid XXXX and still no Pin. THEY ARE PUTTING A FREEZE ON MY LIFE.

I am listing accounts below that have been reported inaccurately on my credit report. In compliance with the Fair Credit Reporting Act and as a gesture of respect to the Federal Trade Commission Committee on accuracy and completeness of credit information I am formally writing in today to dispute negative information appearing on my credit. This incorrect information is greatly hindering me from getting the credit score I deserve and hopefully, this letter will resolve all the issues on my credit. I demand to see Verifiable Proof ( an original Consumer Contract with my Signature on it ) of the accounts listed below. Your failure to positively verify these accounts has hurt my ability to obtain credit.

Complaint:
We were just denied a do-able refi because the credit reports showed 2015 delinquencies reported by BOA. We do make payments on a home equity loan to BOA, but have never missed a payment or been late - ever. BOA modified this loan years ago. We can prove BOA received and deposited 12 checks from us in 2015, every month on time, as always. We see no reason for BOA to cause us financial hardship by falsely claiming arrears when there were none. As long as this falsehood is being reported we will never be able to get a lower payment on our home. We are seniors on a fixed income, with provable income, 35 % equity, a history of no late payments - but BOA has ruined our chances to modify our home mortgage.

Complaint:
I am writing to formally file a complaint against Equifax located in XXXX, GA. This company has repeatedly violated my consumer rights under the Fair Credit Reporting Act, causing me significant financial and mental distress. To begin with, they have reported an erroneous and unverifiable account on my credit report, and despite my requests for proof of claim as required by the FCRA, they have failed to provide the necessary documentation. Despite my persistent efforts to resolve this issue over the past several months, Equifax has consistently ignored my communications and legal submissions aimed at removing this inaccurate information from my credit report. It is disheartening to note that there are numerous other complaints against this company for their illegal and unethical business practices, yet they continue to operate. The unprofessional and negligent behavior of Equifax has inflicted severe harm not only on my ability to establish credit and secure favorable interest rates but also on my professional reputation and personal well-being. I implore you to assist not only me but also other consumers facing similar issues by putting an immediate stop to these unethical and immoral business practices. I genuinely appreciate your time and assistance in addressing this matter and eagerly await your response.

Sub-issue: Cashing a check

Complaint:
On XX/XX/2021 I received a XXXX dollar fraudulent check to be a " secret shopper '' for XXXX. I was under the impression this check was valid. The assignment was to buy gift cards with XXXX and keep XXXX. The gift cards were meant for my " next assignment ''. I went to the bank to deposit the check through a teller. The " secret shopper '' assignment claimed to have a time limit in order to receive a bonus for my efforts. I asked the bank if the check was able to go through sooner than later due to this assignment, also explaining the assignment and showing the documents I have received. The bank explained to me that it would take XXXX days at most to go through because the check needed to be under review to make sure the funds were actually available since I did not have the funds in my account to match the check in the case that the check bounces. I called customer service to have them explain this to me in further detail, I did not get upset with the bank knowing that they we're just making sure my money was secure, or so I was under the impression. The check went through the next morning and I was able to purchase the first XXXX dollar gift card in which I was supposed to send pictures to " XXXX '' which was the scammer. the next day I went to complete my assignment and noticed that my account was negative the XXXX I spent on the gift card. I called my bank and they informed me this was a fraudulent check. I visited my bank ( TD Bank ) to see how we can resolve this issue and the bank explained to me it was my responsibility for giving them this check although this is a known scam. The bank told me to try and get the gift card returned, which was not possible and the funds have been used by the scammer. I went back to the bank and I explained that I was under the impression this check would not be deposited into my account unless it was proven to be valid prior. This man kept repeating that if my cousin gave me a check to deposit and said he would pay me for it that it would be sketchy. This however was not my cousin, this was scammer who has made me a victim of fraud. I was told I have 30 days to resolve the issue before it was sent to collections, yet I am not the one who released the money to myself, the bank gave me money that didn't exist and put me under the impression that it would exist before giving it to me. Banks were put in place to keep our money safe, and now I have been compromised of money that I don't have to begin with. I do not have a credit card for this reason, I have a debit card in which I am not supposed to be paying back because it is used for money I already have.

Complaint:
I am writing to file a complaint against Goldman Sachs for unjustly denying my recent claim for fraudulent charges on my credit card account ending in XXXX. Despite providing substantial evidence of the fraudulent transactions to both the bank and the XXXX Police Department, Goldman Sachs denied my claim, citing that the card was used with the chip and/or PIN entered, and thus implying that I was responsible for the charges. 
The fraudulent transactions occurred on XX/XX/2023, and I reported them to the XXXX Police Department as part of a financial fraud investigation ( Case No : XXXX ). The total amount of the unauthorized charges on this account is {$1700.00}. A detailed list of these transactions has already been submitted to the XXXX Police Department for investigation. 

According to the Fair Credit Billing Act ( FCBA ), I am protected from liability for unauthorized charges on my credit card account. The FCBA limits my liability to {$50.00} for unauthorized charges, and many credit card issuers, including Goldman Sachs, have a zero-liability policy for fraudulent charges. Despite this legal protection, Goldman Sachs denied my claim and decided to remove the temporary credits applied to my account. 

I kindly request the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau to intervene in this matter and investigate the unjust denial of my claim by Goldman Sachs. I believe that the bank 's decision to hold me responsible for the fraudulent charges, despite the evidence provided, is in violation of the FCBA and the zero-liability policy.

Please find the attached documents for your reference. I am willing to provide any additional information or evidence required to support my complaint. 

Thank you for your attention to this matter.
