Company: EQUIFAX, INC. (CA)

I am distressed that you have included the information below in my credit pro-file and that you have failed to maintain reasonable procedures in your operations to assure maximum possible ac-curacy in the credit reports you publish. Credit reporting laws ensure that bureaus report only 100 % accurate credit information. Every step must be taken to assure the information reported is completely accurate and correct. The following information therefore needs to be re-investigated.

According to the Fair Credit Reporting Act, Section 609 ( a ) ( l ) ( A ), you are required by federal law to verify, through the physical verification of the original signed consumer contract, any and all accounts that you post on a credit re-port. Otherwise anyone paying for your reporting services could fax, mail or email in a fraudulent account. 

I demand to see verifiable proof ( i.e. : an original consumer contract with my signature on it ) that you have on file for the accounts listed below. Your failure to positively verify these accounts has hurt my ability to obtain credit. Under the FCRA, unverifiable ac-counts must be removed and if you are unable to provide me a copy of verifiable proof, you must remove the account listed below.

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!

I was paid for musical instrument goods I was selling to someone. They sent the money ( {$2500.00} ) via XXXX app via Bank of America to Bank of America account. I received confirmation from the buyer the funds were in my account. I went to BOA and asked if I would be able to withdraw the funds and explained the nature of the transaction. I was allowed to withdraw the funds as the money was available in my account. This morning there is a hold on my account for {$880000.00} and the buyer reported fraud. My account is now placed on hold and I can not access it. Bank of America allowed me to withdraw the money and said the funds were in my account. Now my account is on hold and my pending payments may be declined. Bank of America should be responsible since they allowed me to withdraw the funds. I would simply like my account restored and my name cleared of any wrong doing. Attached is confirmation I had gotten from the buyer the transaction was successful.

Dear Consumer Financial Protection Bureau, I am writing to file a formal complaint against XXXX, a financial services provider, for their ongoing failure to correct inaccurate information they have reported to the credit bureaus regarding my account ( Account ending in XXXX ). 

Since XX/XX/XXXX, I have been in contact with XXXX regarding discrepancies in my credit report. Despite multiple communications and confirmations from XXXX that my payment history is clean and reflects no late payments, all three major credit bureaus ( XXXX, XXXX, and TransUnion ) continue to report erroneous late payments. These inaccuracies are negatively impacting my credit score and are severely hindering my ability to secure a mortgage. 

Here is a summary of the situation : - On multiple occasions, XXXX has confirmed that their records show no late payments on my account. Despite this, the credit bureaus are reporting the following inaccuracies : - XXXX  : XXXX late payment - XX/XX/XXXX- XXXX : XXXX late payment - XX/XX/XXXX - TransUnion : XXXX late XXXX - XX/XX/XXXX, XX/XX/XXXX, XX/XX/XXXX- I have repeatedly requested XXXX to correct these inaccuracies with the credit bureaus, but they have failed to do so. Most recently, on XX/XX/XXXX, XXXX responded that they do not find any errors on their part and are unable to change the credit reporting. 

This failure to correct the inaccuracies is a violation of the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ). Specifically, under Section 623 ( a ) ( 1 ) ( A ) of the FCRA, XXXX is obligated not to furnish information to credit bureaus if they know or have reasonable cause to believe that the information is inaccurate. Additionally, Section 623 ( a ) ( 2 ) requires that they promptly correct and update information to ensure its accuracy. 

Given XXXX 's refusal to correct these errors despite being aware of them, I believe that their actions are not only negligent but also in direct violation of federal law. This has caused significant harm to my credit standing and has placed undue stress on my financial situation. 

I respectfully request that the CFPB intervene in this matter to compel XXXX to correct the inaccurate information they have reported to the credit bureaus. I would also like to request an investigation into XXXX 's practices regarding credit reporting to ensure compliance with the FCRA. 

Please find attached copies of my correspondence with XXXX and screenshots of the incorrect credit report entries for your review. 

Thank you for your attention to this urgent matter. I look forward to your assistance in resolving this issue and protecting my rights as a consumer.

Heres a CFPB complaint description that references relevant federal and California state laws : -- - **Complaint Description : ** I am writing to dispute a fraudulent account that appears on my credit report. The account details are as follows : - **Account Name : ** XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXXXXXX ( Also known as XXXX XXXX XXXX, XXXX ) - **Account Number : ** XXXX - **Date Opened : ** XX/XX/2024 - **Balance : ** {$190.00} This account was not authorized by me and was opened as a result of identity theft. I have never had any dealings with this company and did not consent to this account being opened in my name. This fraudulent account has severely impacted my creditworthiness and has caused undue stress and hardship. 

This account was previously removed from my credit report but has inexplicably reappeared. I am requesting its immediate removal once again and that it be permanently blocked from reappearing on my credit report. 

Under the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ), specifically 15 U.S.C. 1681c-2, I am entitled to have fraudulent information resulting from identity theft removed from my credit report. Additionally, Californias Identity Theft Protection Act ( XXXX. XXXX. Code XXXX ) reinforces my right to dispute and demand the removal of fraudulent accounts. 

This repeated reappearance of the account violates my consumer rights under both federal and state law. I demand that this account be removed and blocked from my credit report permanently and that I receive confirmation of this action in writing. 

Failure to comply with this request will leave me with no choice but to pursue further action, including legal remedies under the FCRA and California state law.

The Fair Credit Reporting Act ( 15 U.S. Code 1681 ) says ( 1 ) The banking system is dependent upon fair and accurate credit reporting. Inaccurate credit reports directly impair the efficiency of the banking system, and unfair credit reporting methods undermine the public confidence which is essential to the continued functioning of the banking system.

So whenever there is a violation under the FCRA, it impairs the efficiency of the banking system. This is a violation of my privacy with my consumer report, since I control what is listed and what is not. In the event that any accounts are reported without my written consent, that is considered identity theft.

This is a violation of both 15 U.S. Code 1681b ( 2 ) and 15 U.S. Code 1681c-2. This leads way to civil liability against the credit reporting agency for negligent and willful noncompliance under 15 U.S. Code 1681n, which allows for {$1000.00} per violation, for account listed without my expressed written consent.
