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

Complaint:
The Bankruptcy Courts have mailed me letters which emphatically stated that they do NOT provide any information to credit reporting agencies, nor do they ever validate and/or confirm public records. It is the credit reporting agencies, and/or other third party providers who collect information regarding public cases from public records. Public records information is NEVER validated by the U. S. Court system due to the Fair Credit Reporting Agency PRIVACY LAW. My inquiry to the U. S. Bankruptcy Courts confirmed XXXX, XXXX, EQUIFAX Credit Bureau has never validated or verified these public record entries on my credit report, neither will they ever be by them. They further stated while they are NOT liable or responsible for any MISUSE or INCORRECT public records, nor the distribution of said information, public records may, and oftentimes are, reported by third party sources unawares to the consumer, and in most cases, incorrectly. Considering the information indicating a Fair Credit Reporting Act violation, I need all bankruptcy information currently showing under my social security number to be PERMANENTLY DELETED from my credit report immediately. Neither Credit Bureau have provided me with copies of all documentation associated with these Public Record Accounts bearing either a court order to place this information in my credit report, or my authorization of release bearing my signature.

Complaint:
In accordance with the Fair Credit Reporting Act. The List of inquiries below has violated my federally protected consumer rights to privacy and confidentiality under 15 USC 1681. 

I told XXXX, XXXX, and Equifax to reinvestigate these inquiries : Inquiries : XXXX : XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXXXXXX ( XXXX ) - ( XXXX ) XXXX Equifax : XXXX XXXX XXXX ( XXXX ) - ( XXXX ) XXXX XXXXXXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXXXXXX ) - ( XXXX ) XXXX However, they stated everything was complete and accurate XXXX But how is that possible if the open date, date of last activity, and much more is incorrect? According to 15 USC 1681i ( 5 ) they are supposed to modify inquiries that aren't reported correctly. 

15 U.S.C 1681 section 602 A. States I have the right to privacy.

15 U.S.C 1681 Section 604 A Section 2 : It also states a consumer reporting agency can not furnish an account without my written instructions 15 U.S.C 1681c. ( a ) ( 5 ) Section States : no consumer reporting agency may make any consumer report containing any of the following items of information. Any other adverse item of information, other than records of convictions of crimes which antedates the report by more than seven years.

15 U.S.C. 1681s-2 ( A ) ( 1 ) A person shall not furnish any information relating to a consumer to any consumer reporting agency if the person knows or has reasonable cause to believe that the information is inaccurate.

Also, they aren't even in compliance with Metro 2 credit reporting. I have evidence to prove my case.

Complaint:
In XXXX, I discovered inaccuracies on my credit report provided by Equifax. The report listed several accounts that I never authorized and was unfamiliar with. Under the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ), credit reporting agencies such as Equifax have an obligation to provide accurate information and conduct thorough investigations when discrepancies are pointed out. 

Upon finding these inaccuracies, I promptly filed a complaint via the CFPB XXXX XXXX, demanding that Equifax investigate these accounts and provide proof of their veracity. In the same complaint, I cited 15 USC 1681-2, which explicitly states that an entity should not furnish inaccurate information to a consumer reporting agency. My intention was to resolve these inaccuracies swiftly, as they were affecting my credit score and could potentially lead to more significant financial issues. 

The disputed accounts included multiple XXXX XXXX  accounts ( with duplicate amounts ), a SABLE/CCB account and a XXXX XXXX XXXX account, amounting to tens of thousands of dollars. 

Equifax responded to my complaint by deleting two accounts from my credit file, which I appreciate. However, the remaining accounts were not addressed adequately. Equifax merely stated that these accounts have been " verified '' without providing any substantial evidence. Furthermore, they did not answer my question regarding their adherence to 15 USC 1681-2, leading me to believe that my rights under consumer law may have been violated.

As of today, Equifax has yet to show any proof from the debt collectors that verifies these disputed accounts. Neither have they shown any steps they took to ensure the accuracy of the information provided by these debt collectors. I find this lack of transparency concerning, especially given the potential impact on my credit score and financial stability.

I have reiterated my demands for these unauthorized accounts to be deleted from my credit file and for Equifax to provide clear, documented evidence for their verification. I also stated that if they fail to comply, I would seek legal recourse, including a small claims action against Equifax, for multiple violations including defamation of character, negligent enablement of identity fraud, and violations of the Fair Credit Reporting Act.

I now anxiously await a satisfactory response within 5 days, including a revised and accurate credit report. Furthermore, I have also provided a legible and valid proof of my current address, which was previously deemed illegible by Equifax.

Equifax 's improper use of my consumer report has caused significant distress and financial inconvenience. The Fair Credit Reporting Act was designed to protect consumers like me, and I expect Equifax to uphold its obligations under this law.

I contacted Wells Fargo to discuss the increase in our mortgage payment from {$600.00} to {$830.00}. I spoke with XXXX XXXX, who advised me we can apply for a loan modification. He emailed me the forms which I have completed & returned. My husband had to retire in XX/XX/XXXX due to XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX is on XXXX, he receives his XXXX check on the XXXX Wednesday of every month ( since XX/XX/XXXX ) I requested that they change the due date so we are late every month & getting hit with late fees of {$25.00} and was told they couldn't change the date. I was never notified in writing of the increase. I checked our loan account & found they have done an advancement of {$2600.00} to cover escrow which at this time shows a balance of XXXX for our taxes and home owners insurance. We were not aware of that advancement until now. Up until XX/XX/XXXX our monthly payment was {$600.00} then starting in XXXX the payment went up to {$830.00}. In XX/XX/XXXX I advised Wells Fargo that we had a decrease in income and explained our situation with my husbands health.
