Product: Credit reporting or other personal consumer reports — Credit reporting
Issue: Incorrect information on your report — Information belongs to someone else
Company: EQUIFAX, INC. (WA)

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 {$XXXX} per violation, for account listed without my expressed written consent.

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

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.

XX/XX/XXXX I was going through my consumer report and Credit management who is a 3rd party debt collector is on my consumer report. They never sent me any notification of attempting to collect an alleged debt and I did not know about even disputing this alleged debt because they placed it on my consumer report. This is also a hippa violation and due to the privacy act of 1974 my information was sold to this collection department without my knowledge which is a federal violation. according to 18 usc 8 all obligation of debt belongs to the united states and identity theft is a federal crime PER 18 USC 1028 A. According to the medical debt collections act any creditor is prohibited from placing a medical debt on any one consumer report when the debt was less than 1 yr old. Unfortunately this alleged debt does not belong to me. I am opting out of this item reporting to my consumer report per 17 cfr 248.125 and due to the privacy act of 1974.

For 1 place it's really saddening to see why all these inquiries during the month of XXXX. Keep going through my account. And I didn't ask for this.

I submitted my application and the entire Month of XXXX, my credits being ran from the same companies over and over and over and XXXX, went to one company.

Not only that, but I specifically told them they are not allowed to run my credit or find out what other loans are out there more than 2 times they did this more than 16 times on. XXXX XXXX times on equafax and 19 times on experien. This is complete outrage. These need to be removed immediately.

This is a formal complaint that you are reporting inaccurate and incomplete credit information. I am distressed that you have included the information below in my credit profile and that you have failed to maintain reasonable procedures in your operations to assure maximum possible accuracy 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 ) ( 1 ) ( 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 report. Otherwise anyone paying for your reporting services could fax, mail or email in a fraudulent account. I demand to see verifiable proof that you have on file for the account listed below. 1. Achieve personal loans. Your failure to positively verify this account has hurt my ability to obtain credit. Under the FCRA, unverifiable accounts must be removed and if you are unable to provide me a copy of verifiable proof, you must remove the account I demand that the following account be verified or removed immediately : 1.

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.

XXXX is in violation of the settlement agreement for the identified predatory loan. They were supposed to clear my credit report of derogatory marks related and wipe my it off due to being identified as a predatory loan. They have now moved back to their previous tactics of reporting and updating my status as late payments for a charged off account and harassing me via phone and email. 

I am writing to formally notify you that XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX ongoing notifications and listing of repossession of my vehicle, associated with Loan/Account Number [ XXXX ], is in direct violation of the settlement agreement in the case of *XXXX XXXX 
XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX, finalized in XX/XX/XXXX. 
Based on the terms of the settlement, particularly as outlined in paragraphs 10, 11, and 12 of the agreement, XXXX is required to provide certain consumer relief, including : - **Paragraph 10** : XXXX shall not repossess vehicles for consumers who had a loss forecasting score of XXXX or less and had defaulted without having their vehicle repossessed as of XX/XX/XXXX. 
- **Paragraph 11** : XXXX is obligated to waive the deficiency on loans it owns for Mandatory Relief Consumers , including those with a loss forecasting score of XXXX or less. 
- **Paragraph 12** : A moratorium on collecting or selling certain consumers loans is in place, specifically regarding Deficiency Relief Consumers. 
As a participant in this settlement, I believe my attempted vehicles repossession is in violation of these specific provisions. I request an immediate review of my account and the situation, with a corrective action to remove degrading marks from my credit and ongoing updates to further sully my credit score.

Urgent Demand for Immediate Correction of Inaccurate Reporting : Upon reviewing my Consumer Reports, I was enraged to find egregious inaccuracies regarding alleged late payments on an account where I have ALWAYS made punctual payments. Under the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ), Consumer Reporting Agencies are REQUIRED BY LAW to ensure the HIGHEST degree of accuracy in reporting consumer information. I have NEVER missed a payment on the following account : I DEMAND an IMMEDIATE and THOROUGH investigation into these blatant discrepancies within FOUR DAYS, as mandated by the FCRA. You are REQUIRED to provide undeniable evidence, such as detailed account statements, substantiating the alleged lateness of these payments. FAILURE to furnish such proof within the specified 4-day timeframe will lead to my INSISTENCE that these payments be corrected to reflect their accurate, ON-TIME status, in rigorous adherence to FCRA Section 611, which mandates accuracy and completeness in consumer reports. 
I have consistently met my payment obligations ON TIME and WILL NOT TOLERATE this unacceptable situation. RECTIFY THIS IMMEDIATELY.
