Company: EQUIFAX, INC. (WA)

Good evening, I hope all is well. I am filing a formal complaint against the credit reporting agency that is identified as " Equifax Inc. ''. 

By their own admission, Equifax has stated that they have issued wrong credit scores for millions of consumers. My consumer report has recently been reviewed, which informs me that they have my personal information in order to furnish such a report. Per 15 USC 1681A ( 3 ), Equifax does not have my permission nor my consent to furnish anything on my consumer report. Per 15 USC 1681A ( 4 ), they also did not exercise grave responsibility to ensure that my privacy was maintained. This is evident due to the fact that my personal information, which includes but is not limited to - name, social security identification number, etc. is included in the consumer report. 

This has given Equifax not only the ability to allow identity theft and fraudulent actions to occur on my consumer report, but they have also willingly accepted information that they believe belonged to me without first contacting me personally to ensure that the information was valid and true. I demand that all items furnished on my consumer report be removed, and that Equifax be held accountable and pay for damages that not only contributed to defamation of my name and credit due to them being a major credit reporting agency, but they pay for all inaccuracies that were furnished on my report. Itemized line items will be provided to Equifax during the resolution process in order to completely clear my consumer report of all inaccuracies. 

The Attorney General will be contacted as well, to ensure that all avenues of rectification are obtained. 

Thank you.

Each time I speak with Experian and dispute it they say it came back verified and accurate through XXXX. I advised them that XXXX sent me a letter showing bankruptcy was not verified and removed.

I even had them on a 3 -way call with XXXX and the rep confirmed that there was not a bankruptcy through public records and was removed. They continue to keep information on report that should be removed. This is my last attempt to have them remove the account if not then I will seek legal action.

It is utterly ridiculous how Capital One takes advantage of consumers. There is no way a credit card company should be allowed to run hard inquires on a consumers report such as this. I have asked Capitol One to provide me proof I gave consent for these hard inquires to take place. They are in violation of the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ), [ 15 U.S.C 1681b ( a ) 3 ( f ) ( i )., for unlawfully obtaining my XXXX and XXXX XXXX report on XX/XX/XXXX, XX/XX/XXXX, XX/XX/XXXX, XX/XX/XXXX, XX/XX/XXXX, XX/XX/XXXX, without my authorization or a permissible purpose. 

1St Violation 15 USC 1681 Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA } and its guidelines for permissible purpose. A person shall not use or obtain a consumer report for any purpose unless. 
1. The consumer report is obtained for a purpose for which the consumer report is authorized to be furnished under this section.

Company: Experian Information Solutions Inc. (OH)

I have already sent a letter addressing the inaccuracies and unknown items on my credit report, but unfortunately, I have not received any response even after 30 days. It feels like I'm being taken advantage of and my disputes are being ignored. According to Section 611 ( a ), if these items are not investigated within 30 days, they should be promptly removed from my credit report. Since it has been over 30 days, I expect these accounts to be updated immediately. If not, I will have no choice but to pursue legal action due to the stress this situation has caused me. Additionally, my information was also affected by the XXXX, Experian, and XXXX data breach, which raises concerns about the security of my personal data.

I am a XXXX XXXX member and on XX/XX/XXXX I deposited XXXX checks totaling in the amount of {$45000.00} into my account on behalf of my friend/roommate The funds were made available Thursday XX/XX/XXXX I attempted to withdraw the funds on Saturday XX/XX/XXXX however the location did not have the funds on hand to give. Monday XX/XX/XXXX I called in to confirm if that same location had the funds and was informed that my accounts had been frozen. I was informed the reason is because my roommate has her own account at their institution and it looks suspicious that she didnt just deposit the checks herself & I have also been told that my account is under permanent restriction because of that and thats completely ridiculous. All of this was shared only after I tried to make a withdrawal, the bank provided no prior warning.As a loyal customer, my business should be valued at a higher standard than this, why do I feel like Im being treated like a criminal? The information I provided can be immediately verified. Both checks are valid. There is nothing fraudulent about this transaction and no laws have been broken. My roommate is not bank savvy so she asked me to do the transaction. I should not even have to explain that when no laws have been broken. We were depending on that money to pay our expenses. I was told we have to wait 5 business days until the investigation is completed. By that time my rent will be late. Ive already had to borrow money for food for the last XXXX nights. This is an outrage and the bank does not seem to care. I have even provided them with a signed statement from my roommate with her ID as well as a copy of both checks. Please advise me on next steps. I can be reached at XXXX XXXX XXXX

I am listing accounts below that have been reported inaccurately on my credit report. In compliance with the Fair Credit Reporting Act and as a gesture of respect to the Federal Trade Commission Committee on accuracy and completeness of credit information I am formally writing in today to dispute negative information appearing on my credit. This incorrect information is greatly hindering me from getting the credit score I deserve and hopefully, this letter will resolve all the issues on my credit. I demand to see Verifiable Proof ( an original Consumer Contract with my Signature on it ) of the accounts listed below. Your failure to positively verify these accounts has hurt my ability to obtain credit.

The representative inexplicably, either through poor training or a miscommunication, accidentally closed my entire CareCredit account that I have had for ten years instead of just issuing me a replacement credit card. I logged in the next day and saw this error, but it was after twenty four hours and systematically they couldnt help. Im filing this complaint because I want someone at synchrony to please correct this error and reinstate my account. Ive never had a missed payment, derogatory mark, and Ive been a good and loyal customer for many years. This was purely employee error, and I believe the bank should do right by a good customer and help correct it The managers in duty were extremely rude and disrespectful. I tried multiple times within the allowed window of time to have them fix my account. They tried sending me several links I never received?

Company: EQUIFAX, INC. (CA)

On XX/XX/21 I noticed a collection showing on my Equifax report. The negative account shows up as : ( ORIGINAL CREDITOR : ) BAL : {$180.00} STATUS DERAGATORY ACCOUNT # XXXX When I tried to dispute this I was not able to send out a letter because other than ( ORIGINAL CREDITOR : ) there is no name to a business that exists, no address attached. There is no way for me to be able to dispute this account which therefore violates the laws under the umbrella of The Fair Debt Collection Practice Act which prohibits debt collectors from engaging in " abusive and deceptive '' behavior when they try to collect a debt. I made Equifax aware of the situation but yet they did not find the grounds to delete this from my account or they simply got careless. Since I have no way of speaking to the creditor I ask that Equifax honor the law
