Consumer complaint received 2022-06-25
Company: EQUIFAX, INC.
State: TN
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: Investigation took more than 30 days

Complaint:
On XXXX I issued a Letter of DIspute to Equifax, XXXX, and XXXX via the C.F.P.B, outlining issues of incorrect information they were reporting about me. As per the Fair Credit Reporting Act and the F.T.C, Equifax had XXXX days in order to respond to my Letter of Dispute, failing to do so required the to delete ALL erroneous items which I had disputed to them. 
Equifax did not respond to my Letter of Dispute untill XXXX, therefore failing to respond in the time frame allotted to them by Fair Credit Reporting Act and the F.T.C. 
It is without a doubt that Equifax, XXXX, and XXXX are certain of these laws which they must abide by, however this case is a prime example of Equifax 's clear and blatant disregard of the Laws set forth in the Fair Credit Reporting Act and the F.T.C, and proves how they actively work to undermine the Laws and Regulations set forth upon them by their Superior 's. 
I will attempt to yet again contact Equifax, XXXX, and XXXX via the XXXX in hopes of having this matter resolved the way the Law writes that it should, however if i find that this does not solve the issue which i have i spelled out in our prior correspondence, then i will have no choice but to obtain Legal Counsel and seek damages for this continued injustice. It is my hopes that Equifax will not force me to tie up unnecessary time and resources of our Courts in order to have this wrong righted. 

Sincerely, XXXX XXXX XXXX

Issue: Problem with a lender or other company charging your account
Sub-issue: Transaction was not authorized

Complaint:
I noticed in XXXX that there was 5 transactions that I've never authorized on my Bank of America checking account. There was 1 transaction each month since XXXX. The transactions appear to be paid for XXXX XXXX membership. The total amount of 5 transactions are {$77.00}. This is not my primary checking account and the amount is small. That's why I didn't notice these transaction until XXXX. 

As soon I noticed these authorized transactions, I called Bank of America to file a claim. Two months later, I received a secure message saying my claim is reject and they will reverse the temporary credit from my account. I called again asking why. They told me the believe these transaction are authorized by me because I reported very late and the amount is insignificant. So they rejected my claim based on their guesses, and they are basically calling me a liar. There was no use to talk more to them. I called XXXX afterwards, XXXX said if they can identify these transactions, they'd provide refund. But they need information to identify them. Yet, Bank of America refuse to give me the information needed and they refuse to work with XXXX from their end.
