Product: Credit reporting or other personal consumer reports — Credit reporting
Issue: Problem with a company's investigation into an existing problem — Investigation took more than 30 days
Company: EQUIFAX, INC. (FL)

I lodged a complaint against these Bureaus a month ago, but unfortunately, the inaccurate information on my report still remains. Surprisingly, I haven't received any response or correspondence from the Bureaus, and they have already closed my complaint. Could you please explain why they closed my complaint without resolving the issue? Have they even acknowledged or verified my dispute? I need assurance that they have thoroughly checked the inaccuracies on my report and validated the accounts. Can you provide details about the methods they used to verify my report? This situation is incredibly frustrating! It has been more than 30 days since I filed the complaint, and I expected these accounts to be updated by now. If they are not updated immediately, I will have no other option but to take legal action due to the immense stress this has caused me. Moreover, I am also concerned about the security of my personal data, as it was affected by the Equifax, XXXX, and XXXX data breach.

So California 's Bank of America EDD debit cards allows you to make a one time transfer to another bank. I used my one time transfer and transferred XXXXXXXX XXXX to someones account for a purchase ... BOA took the {$5000.00} and that persons $ XXXX paycheck and closed their account saying I was not supposed to send a transfer to some one else 's account. I had been put through the ringer for about 2 years trying to retrieve our money! BOA ( which the other person banks with ) said they sent the {$5000.00} back to EDD and that they would send the remaining balance of the other persons paycheck which they never did either! I've contacted EDD they informed me that they didnt receive any money as they CAN NOT receive any money back! After I told BOA that, I was then also informed that they did not send the money back to EDD because EDD did not submit a claim form.

My accounts was never late! I have had exceptional payment history with XXXX  XXXX and all payments were placed on Autopay. This late payment that is reporting is a result on a systematic error on their end processing my payment. This was clearly a billing error made my the company and is not a reflection of my payment experience which violates USC Code 1681eb. This error has caused severe hard to my reputation, my character, my mode of living and to my family! I demand the late payment reported to be removed/updated. They are not in compliance with the following law. 15 USC 1666b and its requirements set the standards and the guidance for a creditor to treat a payment as late, yet they are reporting a payment as late and they did not comply with the law! 15 USC 1666b ( a ) Time to make payments A creditor may not treat a payment on a credit card account under an open end consumer credit plan as late for any purpose, unless the creditor has adopted reasonable procedures designed to ensure that each periodic statement including the information required by section 1637 ( b ) of this title is mailed or delivered to the consumer not later than 21 days before the payment due date. I have requested proof that this information was mailed or delivered 21 days before the payment due date and this information was requested in good faith pursuant rule 1002 and It was never provided. This is unfair, illegal, fraudulent, and not equitable to me as a consumer!

My problem stemmed from when I inquired online on XX/XX/2023, from a car dealership -- XXXX  XXXX in XXXX XXXX Minnesota. At first, everything was just about getting an idea of what kind of vehicle I liked and needed, they told me they have the right vehicle for what I can only afford., And then they did a hard credit check and applied to banks/ lenders using my credit score. However, I did not push through with the vehicle purchase. Unfortunately, the XXXX  XXXX in XXXX XXXX Minnesota kept on calling and pressuring me about vehicles they say was a perfect deal, at one point a salesman called while I was sleeping and I just frankly told him I had already bought a vehicle. I purchased the vehicle from a different dealership the same week I inquired from XXXX  XXXX in XXXX XXXX Minnesota. 

Next, XXXX  XXXX in XXXX XXXX Minnesota did a ludicrous thing! I started receiving notices in the mail about rejection letters for a car loan. To this day I've been receiving rejection letters from different banks and lenders, the latest was dated XX/XX/2023. So far, I have more than six or seven rejection letters instigated by the XXXX  XXXX in XXXX XXXX Minnesota. 

I am under deep stress and XXXXXXXX over this experience and my credit score plummeted and I want restitution. XXXX  XXXX in XXXX XXXX Minnesota has unlawfully used my name and credit score and consequently tarnished my credibility by purposely applying for vehicle loans in my behalf.
