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

Complaint:
I mailed letters to Equifax, XXXX, and XXXX on XX/XX/2023 requesting that they all remove late payments and student loan accounts from my consumer credit report as this information is listed in violation of the following consumer credit protection laws : 15 USC 1681 Section 602 which states that I have the right to privacy 15 USC 1681 Section 604 A Section 2 which states a consumer reporting agency can not furnish an account without my written consent.

*15 USC 1681a - Definitions ; rules of construction- Exclusions- Except as provided in paragraph the term " consumer report '' does not include- any report containing information solely as to transactions or experiences between the consumer and the person making the report.

15 USC 1666B A creditor may not treat payment on a credit card account under an open end consumer credit plan as late for purpose.

In addition, I requested proof of how information regarding the listed bankruptcy was furnished, and have not received a response from any of the bureaus. The listed information is in direct violation of my consumer protection rights as I have never authorized them to list this information, and contacted the XXXX county court listed on my credit reports, and was informed that this information was never supplied to any consumer reporting agencies.

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

Complaint:
I recently requested a Credit Report from Equifax. I then promptly filed a dispute based on inaccuracies with the credit report. After ample time passes, Equifax sends me an email saying that my report disputes have been responded to. They gave me a report confirmation number to log into. When I went to their website - I typed the same personal information into boxes that was done to file the dispute, then they tell me that the information I typed does not match their records so they tell me that I have to send them US Mail or call toll free number to get status of credit report. Their technology is sophisticated as such that all inaccuracies can be addressed over the internet but they are making it extremely cumbersome to fix your credit which in turn keeps you finance rates high and benefits Banks and Credit Card Companies. Equifax has done this several times in the past to me and I thing it is time to fight this injustice.

Sub-issue: Investigation took more than 30 days

Complaint:
Since my homes purchase in XXXX I have made each payment on time. I noticed on my credit report, XXXX, during covid19 that my report incorrectly indicates I had been late on two payments in XXXX, XXXX and XXXX. these payments were deferred due to damage from flooding in XX/XX/XXXX. In XXXX the full payment due for the three months of XXXX, XXXX m, and XXXX were made in full BEFORE the due date. I disputed the inaccuracy. Since my dispute, I see now that many months show no data, instead of the on time payments that had always been reflected on my report, and the two inaccurately stated late payments remain. In addition other random months are now showing late payment. This is crazy. I have no recourse. Disputing the inaccuracy actually lowered my score and added more inaccurate data to my report. I have never been late on my mortgage and not without personal sacrifice- the main reason was to maintain and boost my excellent credit rating. I need help. Wells Fargo is lying on my report and choosing to add negative inaccuracies and other months showing ND instead of the on time payments that had always been reflected in my report. Help!
