Company: EQUIFAX, INC.
State: NC
Product: Credit reporting, credit repair services, or other personal consumer reports
Sub-product: Credit reporting
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 submitted a complaint on XX/XX/XXXX for items that were incorrect on my credit report. The response received from the credit bureau, 30 days later was that the creditors were still working on the disputes. After 60 days the response was " The creditors have verified that this information is correct and we have accepted their response. '' How did they verify that it was correct? Did they send documents? Signed contracts with wet signature? There needs to be documented proof. 
I have asked for the process by which these accounts were " verified '' and to date, have not received anything. It's like the creditor just sends a response " verified '' and the credit bureaus take their word for it without documented proof. Listed below are the accounts on my Equifax Credit Report that I am disputing. The information being reported is NOT true and accurate! Provide me with documented proof of the late payments, etc. on how these accounts were verified. 

1. XXXX XXXX - This is a FRAUDULENT Account! I have never applied for credit with this company and I did not/do not own an XXXX XXXX card. I am not liable for this account. Please Delete this account immediately. 
2. XXXX XXXX shows 2 late payments on XX/XX/XXXX and XX/XX/XXXX - I have never paid this account late. Please remove the late payments. 
3. XXXX XXXX shows 2 late payments on XX/XX/XXXX and XXXX XXXX I have never paid this account late. Please remove the late payments.

Issue: Attempts to collect debt not owed
Sub-issue: Debt was result of identity theft

Complaint:
I am writing to request your help. My rights as a consumer are not being respected. I tries to solve this issue with Wells Fargo in the past but they keep on reporting a fraudulent item to the credit bureaus. The account I am talking about is the following : WELLS FARGO DEALER SVC # XXXX. Date Opened XX/XX/XXXX. Original Balance {$11000.00}. Status : closed.

Wells Fargo received a letter from me back on XX/XX/XXXX ; in which I requested the lates that are consequence of FRAUDULENT CHARGES to be removed. They did not send me any notice and they are still reporting the item. They are committing multiple violations to the FCRA : negligence, unfair business practices, breach of contract, incorrect credit reporting.

This situation is affecting my mental health in a huge way. I am demanding a deletion letter from Wells Fargo so the lates on this account get removed from my credit report. If Wells Fargo fails to provide the deletion letter, I will not hesitate and will file a lawsuit. I am sure that one I talk to my attorneys ; the list of violations will go up.

Attached letter sent to WF, which they ignored.

Complaint:
This particular account situation that is lately filing on my own credit document has a seriously unfavorable relation to my personal ability to obtain a present loan application. I highly recommend you generate verification that Credit Union has been reported completely in accordance with the Fair Credit Reporting Act regulations, it's really a serious problem to misreport. More confirmation of the aforesaid item too. My proper request must over, I was never 30 days/60 days/120 days late in any of my payments and I'm not greatly tuned in to the date opened so I prefer to ask you be investigated as soon as possible and confirmed to be correct. Thanks!

Issue: Improper use of your report
Sub-issue: Reporting company used your report improperly

Complaint:
I submitted a dispute to Equifax in regard to account # XXXX. Equifax responded to my dispute by saying that the account in question was verified. As a consumer, I have the right to request how that item was verified by requesting the credit bureaus method of verification. On XX/XX/XXXX I sent out a letter to Equifax requesting the method of verification. 

According to the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ), the credit reporting agency is required to give you a method of verification within 15 days of your request. 

Equifax failed to provide any documentation proving they did their due diligence. I received a letter on XX/XX/2023 only saying the debt was verified again. No information on the method of verification, and past the 15-day timeframe. 

It is my understanding that under FCRA Section 611 ( a ) ( 5 ) ( A ) if a consumer reporting agency is unable to verify the accuracy of a disputed item within the given timeframe, the agency is required to promptly delete the item from my credit report. 

I request this account to be deleted immediately.

Complaint:
As of XX/XX/2023, I am being denied access to purchase a new car and access to a new home/ apartment because I can not lift the freeze manually from the Experian App. The Experian app prompts for two-factor authentifications to my old cell phone number. I have called Experian more than 8 times about this matter and just got stuck in their phone tree. On the two occasions that I did reach a representative, they were combative and did not update my contact phone number.

Many vendors that I have tried to do business with over the past month have recommended that I temporarily remove the security freeze from Experian so that the " vendor '' could extend offers of credit/ products to me. The last time I was able to access my Experian account was on XX/XX/XXXX when I changed my phone number with XXXX. Ever since then, Experian has been holding my credit XXXX. I have been able to change my number with everyone I do business with except Experian. I would like assistance in changing my contact information with Experian and hope you investigate ways to prevent Experian from doing this to any other consumer. I tried to create another account with Experian with my current phone number and new email address however Experian 's website stated " It seems you may have created an account previously '' after I entered my SSN and DOB. Unfortunately, there is no workaround. Just this complaint. Please help me.
