Issue: Problem with a credit reporting company's investigation into an existing problem
Sub-issue: Their investigation did not fix an error on your report

Complaint:
I have carefully reviewed my credit report in Equifax. I have been turned down for a credit due to mis-reporting information, I have found inaccuracies that should be immediately investigated. I have complete knowledge of the Fair Credit Reporting Act and understand that these companies have a responsibility to notify me prior to or no later than 30 days of such negative activity reporting against me. The following information therefore needs to be re-investigated. This has really caused me a lot of stress and strain and I demand that this account be corrected immediately or I will file for litigation.

Sub-issue: Difficulty submitting a dispute or getting information about a dispute over the phone

Complaint:
There is information on my consumer report that is a result of identity theft. These items are not related to any transactions completed by me and I did not provide written permission or instructions for the identified transactions to be reported on my consumer report. 

Experians process of blocking the reporting information on my consumer report that is a result of identity theft is in direct violation of the law and a violation of my privacy. When submitting my identity theft documentation to the consumer reporting agency, it was communicated that the fraudulent accounts did not meet Experian 's criteria to be removed from my consumer report. When asked what was their criteria, the response from the representative was I can not disclose the criteria or the process that Experian uses. 

This process is unlawful, inequitable, and does not preserve the rights of my privacy as a consumer in accordance with 15 U.S. Code 6802 - Obligations with respect to disclosures of personal information ( a ) Notice requirements- Except as otherwise provided in this subchapter, a financial institution may not, directly or through any affiliate, disclose to a nonaffiliated third party any nonpublic personal information, unless such financial institution provides or has provided to the consumer a notice that complies with section 6803 of this title.

Furthermore, it states 15 U.S. Code 1681c2 -Block of information resulting from identity theft ( a ) BLOCK Except as otherwise provided in this section, a consumer reporting agency shall block the reporting of any information in the file of a consumer that the consumer identifies as information that resulted from an alleged identity theft, not later than 4 business days after the date of receipt by such agency of ( 1 ) appropriate proof of the identity of the consumer ; ( 2 ) a copy of an identity theft report ; ( 3 ) the identification of such information by the consumer; and ( 4 ) a statement by the consumer that the information is not information relating to any transaction by the consumer.

On XX/XX/2021 I sent a letter dealing with unknown, misleading, unverifiable things on my credit report. till this day now well over 60 days later i haven't received any response.

The law, Section 611 ( a ) to be exact states clearly that a failure to investigate these item in 30 days gives reason to immediately remove the items in question from my credit report. it has been over 60 days so they should be deleted immediately or I will file litigation due to all this stress caused to me. Also my info was impacted by the Equifax data breech and might have got into the wrong hands or information mixed.

Product: Mortgage
Sub-product: Home equity loan or line of credit (HELOC)
Issue: Closing on a mortgage

Complaint:
I had a home equity line of credit with Suntrust bank with XXXX  balance but because there was a lien on the property my home insurance claims adjuster made the check out to me my wife and Suntrust bank. I discussed with the claims adjuster what if we closed the HELOC as there is no money owed on it and showed no mortgagee clause on my home owners insurance policy can he issue the check just in our names and the answer was yes. Upon our arrival at the bank I was told by XXXX XXXX as the amount was in access of {$15000.00} the check will have to be mailed out to their office in XXXX to be endorsed When I asked them to close the equity line another person at the bank XXXX XXXX said it will take 30 days or so to get the lien released and delay the process but they can send the check to XXXX and I will have it back in 2 to 3 days, this was on XX/XX/XXXX. I waited for the check till the XX/XX/XXXX no check so went back to the bank and spoke with XXXX XXXX and cancelled the equity line, and removed the mortgagee clause from the insurance policy and requested the claims adjuster to re- issue a check just in our name, as he was working on issuing a new check it came to his attention that the original check was already cashed by the bank, how could they cash a check made out to us and them without our endorsement, this happened on XX/XX/XXXX so went back to the bank and spoke with the manager XXXX XXXX hoping to get a check from them to no avail I am still waiting to hear back from them, they in my view they have committed a fraud by cashing this check.

Sub-product: Credit reporting
Issue: Incorrect information on your report
Sub-issue: Account information incorrect

Complaint:
This complaint is a follow up on complaint number - ( XXXX ) the company closed the complaint the next day. Stating -This complaint lists someone the company does not recognize as their customer or their customers authorized representative. If they dont recognize me as a customer or representative of the account .. then why is the account on my consumer report? 
It has come to my attention that I was never provided with an opt-out option regarding this account. According to my rights under the law, I hereby demand the immediate removal of this account, not as a matter of policy but as a matter of legal obligation. 
It is important to note that there is no law that mandates the permanent inclusion of an account on a consumer report once the consumer has requested its removal or the removal of their private information. Failure to comply with this request will leave me with no alternative but to pursue legal action against XXXX XXXX XXXX. 
I wish to emphasize that my intention is not to cause financial harm to any party, but rather to seek a fair resolution in line with the law. XXXX XXXX XXXX, with an annual revenue of XXXX XXXX dollars, must be held accountable for its reporting accuracy. As previously mentioned, the absence of a legal requirement for an account to remain on a consumer report post a removal request places the onus on XXXX XXXX XXXX to address this matter promptly and professionally. I hope that we can resolve this situation amicably without resorting to legal action. 
I anticipate your prompt attention to this request and the subsequent removal of the inaccurate account from my consumer report. I kindly request that you acknowledge this communication at your earliest convenience.

State: AR
Product: Credit reporting, credit repair services, or other personal consumer reports
Sub-product: Credit reporting
Issue: Unable to get your credit report or credit score
Sub-issue: Other problem getting your report or credit score

Complaint:
I'm currently in the process of trying to purchase a home, but I'm facing some frustrating obstacles due to a system error on the part of Equifax, the credit company. It seems that Equifax is not sharing my credit score or report with my lender, which is essential for securing a mortgage. I attempted to access my credit score and report through the Equifax website, only to be greeted with a frustrating " BLNK '' error message and a suggestion to contact Equifax for assistance. 

After reaching out to Equifax, I was connected with an offshore representative who tried to sell me their monthly protection services. I explained that my primary concern was not being able to provide my lender with my credit score or report, and I found it perplexing that I would have to pay for this information. The representative consulted someone else and returned to inform me that the problem lies with my credit file needing to be " refreshed. '' They requested that I send in a copy of my Social Security card, driver 's license, and a letter requesting Equifax to refresh my credit file so that my lender can access my score and file. 

I can't help but question why I am being burdened with these additional steps and expenses because of Equifax 's system error. It's disheartening that my ability to become a homeowner is being directly impacted by this issue caused by Equifax. It's also frustrating that I have to spend my own money and time to draft a letter in the hopes that it will rectify Equifax 's system error. I have had no problems with XXXX or XXXX, so it's particularly disappointing that Equifax is the one hindering my dream of buying a home.
