Company: EQUIFAX, INC.
State: PA
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: Investigation took more than 30 days

Complaint:
I took notice to inaccurate information on my credit report. The accounts goes as follows ; [ 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  ] The inaccuracies are that I was " late '' when I never was. This is tarnishing my reputation. This is violation of multiple federal laws set forth by Congress in regards to the above accounts. 15 U.S. Code 1681a ( 2 ) ( a ) ( i ) states that the consumer report does not include information solely as to transactions or experiences ( payment history, late payment status ), between the consumer ( myself ) and the person ( CREDITOR ) making the report. 

Additionally, a creditor CAN NOT mark a consumer as late for any reason/purpose as it violates 15 USC 1666b - A creditor may not treat a payment on a credit card account under an open end consumer credit plan as late for any purpose. This is my consumer instruction ; remove all late payments from each account and update the reporting to reflect current/paid as agreed never late. 

I am not in dispute of the ownership of the accounts so there is no need to " verify '' it, but if your company insists on " verification '' of these late payments then I request that you mail me a copy of the complete consumer file that you maintain concerning me after you act on this dispute. Note, the term file means all of the information on [ me ] and retained by [ you ] regardless of how the information is stored. 15 U.S.C. 1681a ( g ). Therefore, it is unlawful to send me a partial disclosure and not the entire file. 

If you verify or deem the item of information that I disputed above as accurate and complete, then I request a description of the procedure used to determine the accuracy or completeness of the information including the business name and address of any furnisher contacted in connection with such information and the telephone number of such furnisher, pursuant to the provisions of 15 U.S.C. 1681i ( a ) ( 6 ) ( B ) ( iii ), in no later than fifteen ( 15 ) days after making such determination. See 15 U.S.C. 1681i ( a ) ( 7 ).

Issue: Incorrect information on your report
Sub-issue: Information belongs to someone else

Complaint:
I am writing this statement to address the incident of identity theft that I have recently experienced. My personal information, including my Social Security number and banking information, has been compromised without my knowledge or consent. I am deeply concerned about the potential consequences of this breach, including the risk of financial loss and damage to my credit score.

I have taken immediate steps to mitigate the damage caused by this incident. I have contacted my financial institutions and placed a freeze on my accounts to prevent any further unauthorized activity. I have also filed a police report and contacted the credit bureaus to place a fraud alert on my credit reports. 

Going forward, I am committed to being vigilant about protecting my personal information. I will be monitoring my accounts closely for any signs of unauthorized activity, and I will be exercising caution when sharing information online or over the phone. 

I sincerely hope that the individuals responsible for this theft will be brought to justice, and I urge anyone who has experienced a similar incident to take immediate action to protect themselves from further harm. 

I hope this helps! Let me know if you need anything else.
