Issue: Incorrect information on your report — Account status incorrect
Company: EQUIFAX, INC. (IL)

XXXX sent me an email of the update they did to my XXXX XXXX account after I filed a dispute because they had not closed the most recent loan that I refinanced and updated all. Now they are showing incorrect information on the old account they closed! They are showing me 30 days late in XXXX which is NOT correct! I refinanced the loan XX/XX/XXXX. The last payment XXXX took from my account for this loan which was refinanced was XX/XX/XXXX for {$740.00}. My payments were due on the XXXX and I made them on the due date or within the ten day grace period. So this was XXXX payment they took. My XXXX payment then fell due at the end of XXXX on the XXXX at which time I called to refinance because something came up and needed extra money. It took them several days to get back to me and to set up the refinance and we completed it on XX/XX/XXXX which is NOT 30 days past my due date of XX/XX/XXXX, but 16 days past my due date! I want this 30 day late removed from all three credit reports for this XXXX loan # XXXX which was the loan I just refinanced on XX/XX/XXXX to my new loan!! Why can't XXXX or XXXX be ACCURATE??? I also am sick and tired of trying five times to file my dispute, finishing the whole process then XXXX online dispute system saying something went wrong try again, this is deliberate retaliation for my contacting your office and they need to be fined for it!!! I want them to also contact XXXX and Equifax to update and correct this too!!!! And they also had a wrong old address XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX for me, remove it, and my fathers phone number XXXX listed as one of my numbers, remove it, And my same name listed as an alias three times, remove them, And my employer the XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX listed four times, remove the duplicates!!!!! I want all corrected and all updated with all bureaus then I want a clean paper copy of my full corrected reports mailed to me from all three credit reporting agencies MAILED, not emailed!!!!! Lazy, incompetent people, they should be fired!!!! Shut these credit reporting agencies DOWN they do nothing but screw up everyone 's personal information, allow it to get compromised which is why there is so much identity theft in this country and try to make people look bad financially, they have no use or purpose, no value whatsoever!!! Millions of people like myself are having hours of our time wasted on correcting their idiotic mistakes and the same goes for the finance companies, banks and businesses who are just as incompetent and can not report all correctly!!!! If I did my job the way they do I would be fired!!!

I am reaching out to the CFPB today about illegal activities that Equifax is engaging in concerning my credit report. They have a XXXX Bank posting on my credit report under the account # XXXX in which I will attach the documentation concerning this dispute. It has taken them well over 30 days to respond to me in which I sent a dispute XX/XX/2022 and they are just getting back to me now XX/XX/2022. That is well over 60 days and they responded with a stall tactic they told me that they need identification verification when I sent my driver license and social security card so that response that they generated is invalid. This company fails to do their job so I have to escalate this issue to the CFPB. Not only do they send me that they require my driver license, and XXXX card that I already provided them countless times as this dispute as been going on well over a year. I requested investigative procedures concerning this XXXX XXXX account under # XXXX and they fail to provide that and furnish consumer information which is against their policy and my request as the Original Creditor. They are saying under 605 ( C ) of FCRA law that this account is mine and they are going to do another reinvestigation but where is the proof under 605 ( C ) that I was the one that obtained goods and services for this account. I have not been provided any proof that of this in which Equifax is taking sides with XXXX XXXX instead of doing their thorough job and investigation which is the reason why they are in a probe in the first place for furnishing incorrect credit reports and wrong information. Not only this I disputed an inquiry on my Equifax credit report a XXXX inquiry dated XX/XX/2022 and it was the result of identity theft and fraud in which I did not apply for this account or have any business with this lender/bank. The day after I submitted the dispute EQUIFAX told me that they completed this investigation within 1 DAY and that it was verified as accurate which is completely incorrect and falsified information. How is this fraudulent inquiry verified not only that how did they come to the conclusion within one day and it is under my understanding that any fraudulent activity that is on my credit report must be REMOVED upon notice to the credit bureau unless they can provide information that it is VERIFIED Which they did not allow me.

On XX/XX/2022, I sent a letter regarding inaccurate and unknown things on my credit report to this day over 30 days later I have not received a response yet. I feel like I'm taken advantage of and being ignored for my disputes. Section 611 ( a ), it is plainly stated that failure to investigate these items within 30 days gives a reason to immediately remove those items from my credit report, it has been over 30 days so they should be deleted promptly. I demand these accounts should be deleted immediately or I will file for litigation due to the stress you caused me. My information was also impacted by the XXXX XXXX breach and may have got into the hands of the wrong person.

Company: DISCOVER BANK (PA)

To Whom It May Concern, I am writing to file a complaint with the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau ( CFPB ) regarding violations of the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act ( FDCPA ) and other related regulations. I believe that DISCOVER FINANCIAL SERVICES has engaged in a number of illegal and unethical practices in its attempts to collect on alleged debts that I do not owe. 
Specifically, I believe that DISCOVER FINANCIAL SERVICES has violated the FDCPA by : 1. Threatening to harm my reputation and creditworthiness : On XXXX XXXX, I received a call from DISCOVER FINANCIAL SERVICES in which they threatened to report the alleged debt to credit reporting agencies and to take legal action against me if I did not pay immediately. This is a violation of the FDCPA, which prohibits debt collectors from making false or misleading statements and from threatening to take actions that they can not legally take. 
2. Furnishing deceptive information since XXXX, I received a letter from DISCOVER FINANCIAL SERVICES that contained false and misleading information about the alleged debt. The letter did not clearly identify the creditor or the amount of the debt, and it did not provide any evidence to support the validity of the debt. This is a violation of the FDCPA, which requires debt collectors to provide consumers with accurate and truthful information about their debts. 
3. Calling, annoying, harassing, and abusing my privacy : DISCOVER FINANCIAL SERVICES has repeatedly called me at all hours of the day and night, even after I have requested that they stop calling me.By sending them a cease and desist They have also used aggressive and threatening language, and have made false and misleading statements in an attempt to pressure me into paying the alleged debt. This is a violation of the FDCPA, which prohibits debt collectors from engaging in harassment or abuse, and from calling consumers at times or in ways that are known to be inconvenient. 
I request that the CFPB investigate these violations and take appropriate action against DISCOVER FINANCIAL SERVICES to ensure that they are held accountable for their illegal and unethical practices. I also request that any negative marks on my credit report related to this alleged debt be removed, and that I receive compensation for any damages or expenses that I have incurred as a result of 's actions. 
Thank for your attention to this matter. 

Sincerely, XXXX XXXX XXXX

Company: CITIBANK, N.A. (AR)

I filed a dispute on my credit card for a moving company after they forced me to pay an extra fee on my credit card once they arrived for an interstate move, after initial estimates were given. They then damaged a list of items and refused to return emails or phone calls to cover the damaged goods. I provided all of this information to Citi card who then sent me a letter saying the company deserved to be paid and the dispute was closed. This was without any information as to the response of the merchant or any response to the numerous documents I provided. The letter has no explanation of how this decision was made, nor any information on how to submit an appeal or rebuttal. It seems Citi card does not have the customer 's best interest when they don't even provide any explanation, just a quick denial with no details.
