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

Complaint:
After Reading 16 CFR 313.18 & 15 USC 6801 thru 6805 - I realized that I was never given the opportunity to OPT OUT. All credit reporting bureaus are 3rd party vendors. Third Party reporting Bureaus are not permitted to share personal information such as transaction history, account limits, balances. They are allowed to report that the account exist. I am seeking to have the corrections to my report since this is a DIRECT violation of my consumer rights.

Pursuant to 31 USC sec 3123- All public debt is a government obligation and is to be discharged dollar for dollar.

15USC 1666 a - ( a ) Reports by creditor on obligors failure to pay amount regarded as billing error After receiving a notice from an obligor as provided in section 1666 ( a ) of this title, a creditor or his agent may not directly or indirectly threaten to report to any person adversely on the obligors credit rating or credit standing because of the obligors failure to pay
the amount indicated by the obligor under section 1666 ( a ) ( 2 ) of this title, and such amount may not be reported as delinquent to any third party until the creditor has met the requirements of section 1666 of this title and has allowed the obligor the same number of days ( not less than ten ) thereafter to make payment as is provided under the credit agreement with the obligor for the payment of undisputed amounts.

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:
Date : XX/XX/22, I sent out a letters XXXX, to XXXX, TransUnion, XXXX. Here is my tracking number ; during this investigation they said everything was 100 % accurate and Transunion said theyre not reinvestigating my items too. 

15 U.S. Code 1681a - Definitions ; rules of construction ( e ) The term investigative consumer report means a consumer report or portion thereof in which information on a consumers character, general reputation, personal characteristics, or mode of living is obtained through personal interviews with neighbors, friends, or associates of the consumer reported on or with others with whom he is acquainted or who may have knowledge concerning any such items of information. However, such information shall not include specific factual information on a consumers credit record obtained directly from a creditor of the consumer or from a consumer reporting agency when such information was obtained directly from a creditor of the consumer or from the consumer. 

I would like to know more about who did they speak with? 
How did they complete this investigation? This doesnt correspond to the definition.

15 U.S. Code 1681i - Procedure in case of disputed accuracy ( a ) Reinvestigations of disputed information ( 1 ) Reinvestigation required ( A ) In general Subject to subsection ( f ) and except as provided in subsection ( g ), if the completeness or accuracy of any item of information contained in a consumers file at a consumer reporting agency is disputed by the consumer and the consumer notifies the agency directly, or indirectly through a reseller, of such dispute, the agency shall, free of charge, conduct a reasonable reinvestigation to determine whether the disputed information is inaccurate and record the current status of the disputed information, or delete the item from the file in accordance with paragraph ( 5 ), before the end of the 30-day period beginning on the date on which the agency receives the notice of the dispute from the consumer or reseller. 

( B ) Extension of period to reinvestigate Except as provided in subparagraph ( C ), the 30-day period described in subparagraph ( A ) may be extended for not more than 15 additional days if the consumer reporting agency receives information from the consumer during that 30-day period that is relevant to the reinvestigation.

I would like to how does TransUnion hold the right to say, They will no longer further investigate. When 15 U.S. Code 1681i, says theres not limitation to reinvestigation if the report is determined inaccurate, as you can clearly see theres no proper investigation being conducted

Issue: Improper use of your report
Sub-issue: Credit inquiries on your report that you don't recognize

Complaint:
On XX/XX/2020, XXXX XXXX attempted and successfully was able to pull a hard inquiry on my Equifax credit bureau without my consent. A security freeze and fraud statement exists. I contacted XXXX XXXX and was advised that the hard inquiry would be removed within 30 days. Here is a copy of the email on XX/XX/2020 : Were happy to help resolve this issue. 

Dear XXXX XXXX, Thanks for reaching out to us. 
A request has been submitted to the credit reporting agencies depicting a hard inquiry on your credit report for the XXXX XX/XX/2020 credit check to ensure that information no longer appears in the hard inquiry section of your credit report. 
Please be advised it may take such agencies up to thirty ( 30 ) days to update their records.

I have waited for months and the hard inquiry remains. I contacted Equifax and they will not remove the inquiry stating that I must contact XXXX XXXX again. Going through the fraud department of XXXX is very time consuming and they did not correct the error that they did and remove the fraudulent inquiry.

Complaint:
I am writing to you to formally request a copy of the procedure your company followed in order to ensure that the information reporting for these accounts completely accurate. It's strange, you did a full investigation to verify the accuracy of this account due to the fact that you continue to report the wrong information.Having this type of information on a person 's a credit report is unfortunate and severely damaging, but having incorrect damaging information on a person 's credit report is unacceptable.

Sub-issue: Their investigation did not fix an error on your report

Complaint:
On XX/XX/2022, I submitted a complaint regarding a federal student loan account that is serviced by a company named XXXX. The reason for my initial dispute with this company as well as Equifax, was against the inaccuracy, incomplete and unverifiable information that is being reported on my consumer report pertaining to payment history. I submitted a complaint to XXXX, XXXX, Equifax and XXXX. I am still awaiting the results of my dispute and investigation from XXXX and XXXX. However my case was closed by XXXX and Equifax and deemed as accurate. My question to XXXX and Equifax is how did you come up with the findings of your investigation? I asked in my previous complaint to be mailed with any and all documentations proving your claims, which you guys failed to do. My second question is how could a violation of the law be accurate? According to Cornell 's law, U.S. Code 1681a 2 ( a ) ( i ) it clearly states that transactions and experiences between the consumer and person making the report should NOT be included on a consumers report. Please explain to me why you feel you are above the law? I have also brought your unlawful acts to my attorney generals attention.
