Complaint:
Equifax is refusing to remove this unverified account by the name of XXXX XXXX, from my credit report. As reported and I demand for swift action on Equifax part. Additionally, this compliant also serves as my rightful demand for adequate investigation/reinvestigation into every aspect of any delinquency and/or derogatory data accused of me to ensure my lawful right of accurate and compliant reporting! 
You are improperly reporting an alleged Auto Loan, to the credit bureaus that is clearly in noncompliance with recognized METRO2 Reporting Requisites per the CRGG as well as the FCRA, and thus damaging my credit reputation. Without being certifiably compliant with METRO2 reporting standards, EQUIFAX is in violation of the required permission to report a single aspect or notation of any alleged accounts, much less than an auto loan that they did not have permissible purpose to share my personal information. I formally contest the reportability of the alleged Auto Loan. This Auto loan item is deficient as reported, and per federal reporting regulations all claims MUST be to a maximum possible accuracy and a maximum possible completeness, which extends to the reporting mandates that there be no deviation from METRO2 Format compliance since, per the CDIA, DNP 3-4 Any deviation from these standards jeopardizes the integrity of the data. Unfortunately, it appears that EQUIFAX do not have reasonable procedures in place to assure maximum accuracy and completeness of the information that EQUIFAX included in your consumer reports that you prepare concerning me. EQUIFAX Your prompt attention to this important matter is requested to comply with federal law.

State: TX
Product: Credit card or prepaid card
Sub-product: Gift card
Issue: Trouble using the card
Sub-issue: Trouble using the card to spend money in a store or online

Complaint:
I am an XXXXXXXX and received XXXX gift cards from XXXX XXXX XXXX as a gift for being on their XXXX XXXX XXXX. 

They sent me one {$50.00} gift card in XX/XX/XXXX and another {$50.00} gift card in XX/XX/XXXX. 

The gift card numbers are as follows : XXXX XXXX I have attempted to use both cards to purchase school supplies for the new school year on XXXX, XXXX ( a local TX grocery store ), XXXX, and my school district website, and both cards do not work at any of these locations ( online or in person ) that I actually shop at. As per the AMEX website 's directions, all of the online merchants I attempted required me to enter the Card number, expiration and security code, but they still didn't work. 

I checked the balance of both cards at https : //balance.amexgiftcard.com/ # /help  and both cards have the full amount I was gifted. I called the " Help '' number twice XXXX and received no help. The call center workers both gave the same answer : I can not use the gift cards at XXXX or the other stores I tried because of fraud protection, those merchants are unauthorized. I asked why would commonly used stores like XXXX, XXXX, and XXXX be considered unauthorized merchants, and the workers said that is what their system says and they can not help me further. I asked if I could have a physical gift card instead of the eGift card ( in hopes that a physical card would work better ), and they said they can not give me anything. I asked if they could " unblock '' the merchants that I frequently shop at since I am verifying that it is myself and not a thief who is trying to use the cards I was gifted, and they said they can not. I asked how they CAN help me to use the {$100.00} worth of gift cards that I have, and the man said to try another merchant, but he wouldn't give me a list of approved merchants AMEX eGift cards allows and doesn't block. 

I'm extremely frustrated because I can not use this very much needed money to buy things I need for XXXX XXXX and it's just sitting in my email - useless. I feel cheated and scammed and I want access to the funds I was gifted without having to jump through so many hoops.
