Product: Credit reporting, credit repair services, or other personal consumer reports — Credit reporting
Issue: Problem with a credit reporting company's investigation into an existing problem — Was not notified of investigation status or results
Company: EQUIFAX, INC. (TX)

The most recent letters that I have sent to Equifax disputing the inaccurate information on my credit report were sent on XX/XX/2023 and XX/XX/2023. Instead of removing or even responding to the inaccurate personal information and accounts ( that I have been disputing inaccuracies for over months ), they repeatedly send me letters to STALL by stating they need two documents for identification and current address. Here 's where the biggest problem is and COMPLETE violation of my rights. Every single letter I have sent to Equifax includes my Driver 's License for identification and Current Address, my Social Security Card for another form of identification, and a utility bill for another proof of address! I send THREE forms of documents WITH my letters to Equifax. Yet, their response to me is " Please return this letter along with the requested information and your original correspondence/request to the address below ''. WHY would I need to send in the same documents that were included in my original letters? Please see the attached letters sent to Equifax WHICH CONTAIN the identification and current address documents that they state that they need in order to " process without delay ''. Equifax is clearly operating ILLEGALLY. They continue to stall. Please see two letters sent by Equifax attached sent to me one day apart. They send multiples of these letters even though the documents they are requesting was included in ALL of my letters to them!! Equifax needs to remove the inaccurate information immediately. After multiple dispute letters to Equifax, I have received no resolution. They are in violation of the Fair Credit Reporting Act. I demand that Equifax take immediate action to correct the inaccurate information on my credit report and provide me with a prompt resolution to my disputes. Failure to do so will result in legal action being taken against your company for violating consumer protection laws. Failure to comply with these federal regulations by credit reporting agencies are investigated by the Federal Trade Commission ( see 15 USC 41, et seq. ). I am maintaining a careful record of my communications with you on this matter, for the purpose of filing a complaint with the FTC should you continue in your non-compliance. I further remind you that, as in Wenger v Trans Union Corp., No. 95-6445 ( C.D.Cal. Nov. 14,1995 ), you may be liable for you willful non-compliance. For the record, I am attaching the two most recent letters sent to you on separate occasions. Items in the letters need to be removed. It has been over 6 months of me disputing this inaccurate information. It is illegal for them still to be on my credit report! It is illegal for you to keep stalling!

Two wells fargo employees at XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX GA location approved and cashed a mobile deposit they shouldn't have because the check did not clear and they dispersed the funds at the location drive through anyway and did not tell me it was coming out of the funds already in my account. Then when the check that I was under the impression cleared did not clear Wells Fargo took the amount out of my account and told me to take a hike essentially. They stole from me instead of reprimanding Thier employees who made a bad judgement call and taking responsibility for their error. They told me at the window they were giving me the funds for the check

Company: WELLS FARGO & COMPANY (CA)

I was approved for a home loan through Wells Fargo. And, I was given a Wells Fargo visa credit card. 
My credit score was XXXX. 
I was So excited to purchase my home that I overlooked the interest rate of 23 %. 
I contacted Wells Fargo credit card unit several times over the years asking them to lower my interest rate, but they ignored my request and I spent years talking to their managers, customer service executives begging them to please lower my interest rate. However, they only offered me XXXX months no interest on my credit card purchases. 
I was Very upset because the interest rate on my visa credit card with my credit union was 11.9 %, so the this was clearly an unfair interest rate. They Never Lowered my interest rate, it's still 23 %.

Pursuant to 15 USC 1666b, a creditor may not treat a payment on a credit card account under an open end consumer credit plan as late for any purpose.

XXXX and BECU have improperly re-aged an account on my credit report to XX/XX/XXXX, have continued to report it past 7 years since Date of First Delinquincy, and I have suffered damages in my attempt to get a mortgage after inaccurate reporting reduce my credit score. 

A closed and paid derogatory BECU account ending in XXXX was disputed by me in XX/XX/XXXX as too old since Date of First Delinquincy and BECU alleged the information was accurate and still reportable. In the attachment you can see that the payment history for XXXX is vacant and unreported even though BECU claims the date of first delinquency was XX/XX/XXXX. The actual date of first delinquency was in XXXX of XXXX. 

Instead of leaving the line as it was, XXXX and BECU alleged the line was validated and then re-aged the line as new delinquency at the end of the dispute ( see attached new reporting date ), which resulted in a XXXX point drop in my XXXX Score XXXX ( see attached score alert ). 

The decrease to my XXXX XXXX score ( which happened solely due to the re-aging of the BECU line after the dispute ) resulted in higher interest rates for a mortgage loan I applied for, another score drop for an inquiry, and a resulting higher loan payment for the new loan I applied for. I, therefore, suffered damages for which I am consulting legal advice. 

I am requesting that XXXX and BECU delete the line which is now 7 years past Date of First Delinquency and is being reported in violation of the FCRA limitation on derogatory reporting, or alternatively restore the prior version of the report by BECU which existed prior to XX/XX/XXXX, with complete and accurate payment history since the loan was established in XXXX. 

I have again disputed these XXXX matters directly with XXXX XXXX XXXX, confirmation number XXXX, and I expect XXXX and BECU to now take the time to review my dispute by looking at the payment history and reviewing the accuracy of this line on my report, instead of just copying and pasting the claim of valid reporting by BECU. 

I am hoping the CFPB process can resolve this issue.

Company: CITIBANK, N.A. (IN)

Account was paid XX/XX/2022. Best Buy/Cbna XXXX Citibank ) reports negative payment history until XX/XX/2022. 

Account was paid XX/XX/2022. Best Buy/ CBNA ( Citibank ) reports it as a charge off in the payment status section. 

I disputed this with them 3 times and they said that they will not change the charge-off because its a charged off account but the correct place to indicate the account is a charged off account is in the ACCOUNT TYPE section which it currently does. But they want it also in the the PAYMENT STATUS section which is what Im disputing because since the account is paid it should show PAID. To have charge off in the payment status indicates that this account was never paid off and it is a violation of my FCRA rights to report it this way. BEST BUY/CBNA ( Citibank ) tried to get around this by putting paid in the notes section of the account but I lost 40+ points due to them updating the payment status and payment history with incorrect information. So just like they changed those sections to report NEGATIVELY, they should be able to go in and undo the inaccurate NEGATIVE information so it can have a positive effect on my score. PAYMENT STATUS SHOULD SHOW PAID! And PAYMENT HISTORY SHOULD NOT SHOW NEGATIVE HISTORY PAST XX/XX/2022 since I paid it XX/XX/2022. Best Buy/CBNA ( Citibank ) has to update the actual report not just add notes onto the account because i lose points based on whats in the payment history and payment status section NOT whats in the notes section on the account. They are being lazy and are not doing bc the due diligence to correct this. They have sent me correspondence that verifies everything Im saying but when they resolve the matter all they do is add a note to the account they do not change the inaccurate information. 

If they are reporting the right information then XXXX is not up updating it correctly but I dont think thats the case.
