Issue: Problem with a company's investigation into an existing problem — Their investigation did not fix an error on your report
Company: EQUIFAX, INC. (CT)

I filed a dispute for incorrect information on my credit report. I received an email from the credit bureau stating that they are assuming the disputes are coming from a 3rd party. They in fact did not come from a 3rd party. l even called them to verify it was me and they still refused to process my disputes. I wasted money on mailing my disputes out. I sent personal information to verify my identity through mail, just for them to not thoroughly investigate.

My account with was never late! I have had exceptional payment history with XXXX XXXXXXXX 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.

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.

Never Sent the periodic statement along with the disclosures from section 1637 ( b ).

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!

I am rejecting this response because : The Credit Bureau recent response to my complaint regarding inaccuracies on my credit report. Despite my numerous attempts to dispute these erroneous accounts and rectify the situation, XXXX has failed to adequately address and resolve the issues at hand. Over the past several months, I have repeatedly contacted The Credit Bureau, providing detailed information and supporting documentation to demonstrate the inaccuracies present in my credit report. Unfortunately, each attempt has been met with insufficient action and a lack of proper investigation into the matters I raised. This ongoing negligence has caused significant harm to my creditworthiness and has had adverse effects on my financial well-being. I am now seeking the intervention and assistance of the CFPB to help resolve these persistent issues. The Credit Bureau failure to correct these inaccuracies and conduct a thorough investigation is a clear violation of the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ). Specifically, they have breached my consumer rights to a fair and accurate credit report by not fulfilling their obligation to investigate disputes properly and correct any errors. The FCRA mandates that credit reporting agencies must investigate disputed information and make corrections if inaccuracies are found. The Credit Bureau continuous disregard for this responsibility has not only violated my rights but has also perpetuated the damages being done to me as a consumer. I trust that the CFPB will take appropriate action to ensure that The Credit Bureau adheres to the FCRAs requirements and conducts a comprehensive review of my disputes. I am seeking a resolution that includes the correction of all inaccuracies on my credit report and a quarantee that my consumer rights will be respected moving forward
