Consumer complaint received 2024-10-19
Product: Credit card — General-purpose credit card or charge card
Issue: Getting a credit card — Application denied
Company: EQUIFAX, INC. (TX)

Applied for highend affiliate credit card with XXXX and was denied due to an Equifax credit report that showed a bankruptcy. Equifax credit report shows NO bankruptcy. 

This is my 2nd complaint involving false and fraudulent information being reported by Equifax to credit granting institutions. To date the CFPB has taken no action against Equifax for this behavior though it appears to be a pattern. 

I have attached the denial letter from XXXX citing Equifax as the reason for the denial.

Please advise what CFPB is able to do to resolve this.

Issue: Problem with a company's investigation into an existing problem — Investigation took more than 30 days
Company: TRANSUNION INTERMEDIATE HOLDINGS, INC. (NJ)

I previously sent a letter to address the errors and unknown items on my credit report, but unfortunately, I have not received a response even after 30 days. It seems like my disputes are being overlooked and I feel taken advantage of. As per Section 611 ( a ), if these items are not investigated within 30 days, they should be promptly removed from my credit report. Since the deadline has passed, I expect these accounts to be updated without delay. If not, I may have to take legal action due to the stress this situation has caused me. Moreover, my information was impacted by the XXXX, XXXX, and Transunion data breach, which raises concerns about the security of my personal data.

Issue: Incorrect information on your report — Account information incorrect
Company: TRANSUNION INTERMEDIATE HOLDINGS, INC. (GA)

This report serves as a formal complaint that XXXX XXXXXXXX XXXX is knowing and willingly reporting inaccurate and incomplete information on my consumer report. Pursuant 15 USC 1681a : Definitions ; rules of construction ( 2 ) Exclusions -Except as provided in paragraph ( 3 ), the term " consumer report '' does not include- ( A ) subject to section 1681s3 of this title, any- ( i ) report containing information solely as to transactions or experiences between the consumer and the person making the report ; Pursuant to15 USC 1666b : Timing of 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.

The notation of the reported late payments is inaccurate. This company did not do a full investigation on the matter and sent me incriminating evidence that further proves that said bank have violated my consumer rights and broken several federal laws. I requested to see all transactions and statements from XXXX XXXXXXXX XXXX  and they provided me with false and inaccurate information that is being reported differently within the credit bureaus. The information that was provided to me is not what is being reported. The bank did not verify these items and report them with accuracy. XXXX is being reported as not more than two payments as late. XXXX is reporting 60 days late for XXXX XXXX 90 days late for XX/XX/2021, and 90 days late for XX/XX/2021. When in fact, if I did allegedly make a late payment, I could not have been 60 days late, when the reported delinquent date started in XX/XX/2021. That is inaccurate. Transunion is reporting as 30 days late in XXXX, 60 days late in XXXX, and 60 days late in XXXX, if I did allegedly pay late, it should have been reported as 90 days late. I have uploaded proof of the inaccuracies. XXXX XXXX XXXX sent a letter stating that the account is 80 days due, and that is not what is being reported on my consumer report. The statement that the company sent me in the mail specifically states that I have XXXX late payments being reported and I also uploaded proof of said statement. Also I never received a 1099C form so that I may file the proper documents with the IRS. I have also contacted the Internal Revenu Service in reference to this account. This bank is now subject to civil because they fail to comply with federal laws.
