Complaint:
I had to open up this credit card because I need to get my teeth worked well I didn't have money at the time so the dentist I went to was promoting the Care Credit card so I called they told me that I would have no interest for the entire year got approved and nothing else was told me that was it. Meanwhile I was making payments for months and I went online for my account and saw that they added a XXXX addition to my charges for months of about XXXX dollars for months. I went and called them multiple times for this situation and said how unethical and misleading it was that they would charge this addition without me even knowing. They told me to call the security card company and they said they could do nothing for me. I had them stop the charges finally but would not give me my money back for something I didn't sign up for or even know. Then right went when I got XXXX statement they charged me XXXX dollars because I didn't pay of the card before then new year I guess but was told I would get no interest for entire year but never told me I would not even get 12 months because of the new year. When I called they said that was the only charged now its XXXX and I am charged additional interest charges of XXXX dollars. I have never experienced this type of misleading and confusing tactics to basically milk you.

Product: Credit reporting or other personal consumer reports
Sub-product: Credit reporting
Issue: Problem with a company's investigation into an existing problem
Sub-issue: Their investigation did not fix an error on your report

Complaint:
I am filing this complaint against the credit reporting agencies ( CRAs ) Equifax and XXXX for their failure to conduct a proper investigation regarding an inaccurate account reported on my credit profile, which has significantly impacted my financial wellbeing. 

Over the past two years, I have disputed the incorrect account information more than eight times with both Equifax and XXXX. Despite my numerous disputes, the CRAs have repeatedly verified the inaccurate information without conducting a thorough investigation. 

I contacted XXXX XXXX, who confirmed that they have not reported any account under my name since 2019. Additionally, I spoke with the original grantor of the account, XXXX XXXX, who verified that the account has a XXXX dollar balance and is marked as settled. Despite providing this information in my disputes, Equifax and XXXX have failed to correct the inaccuracies on my credit report. 

The continuous reporting of this incorrect account information has drastically lowered my credit score, leading to higher bills, an inability to secure loans, and other financial hardships that have adversely affected my quality of life. 

I am requesting the CFPB 's intervention to ensure that Equifax and XXXX conduct a thorough and proper investigation into my disputes and correct the inaccurate account information on my credit report. I am willing to provide any further documentation or information necessary for the resolution of this complaint. 

I appreciate your prompt attention to this serious matter.
