Company: EQUIFAX, INC.
State: TN
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:
I am requesting that all charge off accounts on my credit record to be removed as well as the inquires. I have suffered job loss due to XXXX as well as living in a recession and I feel as if I should be given atleast a leg up and be able to rebuild myself and my family using my credit as a source without these nagging and half of them not my charges be done away with and swiped off my credit report. I have as well started disputes with 3 of Said companies. I blame the actions that was put onto XXXX by the covid epidemic to be blamed for such negative credit marks. It was unforseen as well as problematic to myself and a million others. We are just trying to survive and sadly our credit reports stop alot of us that are well deserving of having even the essentials in life today. Example, cars, we need those to make money to live and eat and work to keep the economy up but sadly we r told NO due to these credit reports. And a Home, a roof over our heads but NO due to credit marks alot of us have suffered since XXXX struck. I could go on. And on top of it all Equifax had a big security breech Yes I was affected as well as a million more people. Sad truth is we can't do anything about it other then hope our personal information is not too far sold already. I can honestly say I have had my private accounts hit after that breech and it has caused me so much anguish and stress that my XXXX has reached its boiling point. In conclusion this letter may get through and hope somebody listens and helps. If not atleast I can say I tried and stood up as an XXXX.

Company: Merchants' Credit Guide Company
State: IL
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:
Merchant credit guide ( original creditor : XXXX XXXX ) is not reporting the correct payment history nor the original balance. This discrepancy is tarnishing my payment history along with account balances. There should be no balance remanding on this account due to my insurance paying for my treatment and my co pay with my insurance provider. I don't owe XXXX a separate balance. I walked in for a stomach ache and was discharged the next day with no post visit medications. Attached is evidence of the true total account balance and payment details. Merchant is not reporting any payment history on this account and its illegally damaging my consumer report. Please remove this account for the incorrect discrepancies.

XXXX XXXX, I am writing to request the removal of two missed payments from my credit report as per the rules of construction under 15 USC 1681 B Title Definitions. 

I missed two payments on my [ XXXX Credit Card ] XX/XX/XXXX and XX/XX/XXXX. As per the terms of the agreement, these missed payments was reported to the credit bureaus, affecting my credit score and making it difficult for me to obtain credit in the future.
