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

I have previously sent letters requesting verification of debt to Collection Bureau of For XXXX XXXX for two accounts and XXXX XXXX XXXX immediately after noticing the collections on my credit report. They have sent me copies of bills with procedures performed with my maiden name, XXXX XXXX, and my birthday, which I have not used since 2010. I also had to give them my address because the address that they had on file was not mine. I made copies of these letters and sent them to Equifax with a letter explaining that the bills did not belong to me. To begin, the bills that were sent did not have my signature, a name that I actively use nor an address that I actively use. Furthermore, I was insured when the bill was incurred. I requested that Equifax send me the documentation that was sent that convinced them to verify the debt. Equifax responded by telling me that they could not and to speak with the company directly, which I have done for multiple years now. XXXX and XXXX was unable to verify the collection so it was immediately removed. However, Equifax refuses to remove incorrect information from my credit report. I will seek legal action if this issue can not be resolved.

Issue: Closing your account — Can't close your account
Company: M&T BANK CORPORATION (NC)

I opened an account with M and T bank and used it for a balance transfer. When i finally paid off the balance I called them and asked to make my final payment and close my credit card account. I had never used the card except to transfer a balance and pay it off. I successfully paid my final bill of about 1,000 USD in XX/XX/XXXX. In XX/XX/XXXX I received many calls from M and T bank about having unpaid fees and charges. I told them that I had closed my account and paid the balance so I did not understand how I was still accruing any charges. She explained that there was some sort of final charge and I reluctantly paid the XXXX dollars. Just today, XX/XX/XXXX I received a call from M and T bank alerting me that I had unpaid fees and charges amounting to over 100 . I am still shocked at how, having closed my account, paid a balance as well as some extra fees I am still being hounded and charged by this company. Please help.

Company: WELLS FARGO & COMPANY (AL)

on XX/XX/XXXX I was involved in a car accident that ended up ina total loss of the vehicle. My insurance paid XXXX on XX/XX/XXXX, Warranty refund XXXX paid on XX/XX/XXXX and on XX/XX/XXXX Gap insurance paid XXXX ( they did not pay it all the way off and left a {$2500.00} balance. I called Wells Fargo Dealer services and was told that they couldn't discuss a settlement with me until the loan file went to recovery ( 90 days ). Before the accident, I did not have any payments on that loan that were over over 30 days late. On XX/XX/XXXX I called the recovery dept and was told that if I would pay {$1500.00} of that balance then they would report it as settled for less than agreed to the credit bureaus. I paid the {$1500.00} in two payments but they never updated the reporting. I called the office of the president last week and was given a case # and told that they would have someone in touch within 24 hours. That didn't happen and as of today my credit looks like I have not made a car payment in nearly a year. I have been financially ruined over an accident where I was not at fault in any way. I am unable to get another vehicle because my credit score is now too low due to Wells Fargo and their unfair/untrue credit reporting practices.

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!

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

I previously submitted a letter addressing the inaccuracies and unfamiliar items on my credit report. However, it has now been over 30 days, and I have not received a response. It appears my disputes are being disregarded, which raises serious concerns. Under Section 611 ( a ) of the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ), credit reporting agencies are required to investigate disputed items within 30 days. If they fail to do so, these items must be removed from my report. 

As more than 30 days have passed, I expect immediate updates to my credit report reflecting the removal of these disputed accounts. Should this not be addressed promptly, I will be left with no option but to pursue legal action to resolve this issue, as the continued inaction has caused significant stress. 

Moreover, I was affected by the Equifax, XXXX, and XXXX data breaches, which heightens my concern regarding the security and handling of my personal information.

" I am writing to formally file a complaint regarding unauthorized accounts that persist on my credit report despite my repeated efforts to have them removed. These accounts are causing significant damage to my financial reputation and overall well-being. It is evident that the inclusion of these fraudulent items violates 15 USC 1681b regarding permissible purposes, as the credit bureaus have no legitimate reason to report them without my explicit consent. Please refer to the attached file detailing these items I am disputing.

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. ''

Issue: Attempts to collect debt not owed — Debt is not yours
Company: EQUIFAX, INC. (NY)

I want to stress that I did not give written permission for these specific transactions to be included in my consumer report. At no point did I authorize these entries, and their presence on my report is unwarranted. Consequently, I am formally requesting that these accounts be blocked and removed from my report immediately. 

It is important to clarify that this request is not due to any error or negligence on my part. There has been no oversight or misunderstanding on my end. Instead, this issue arises solely from the fact that I did not explicitly authorize the inclusion of these transactions in my report. I am diligent about maintaining the accuracy and privacy of my financial records, and these unauthorized entries compromise that integrity. 

I trust that you will handle this matter with the urgency and seriousness it deserves. Please confirm the removal of these transactions from my report as soon as possible. Thank you for your prompt attention to this issue.
