Company: EQUIFAX, INC. (GA)

I am writing to formally lodge a complaint against Equifax for its failure to comply with the provisions of the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ), specifically under 15 USC 1681I. On XX/XX/year>, I sent a letter to Equifax disputing multiple inaccuracies on my credit report, which are negatively impacting my credit profile. Despite being legally required to respond, verify, and provide proof of these accounts, Equifax has failed to do so in the time prescribed by law. 

In my letter, I requested the removal of the following inaccurate accounts : XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX  Despite their obligation to provide a timely investigation, Equifax has not responded or removed the inaccurate accounts. According to FCRA, Equifax must : Notify the data furnishers within 5 business days of receiving my dispute.

Investigate the inaccuracies and correct or verify them within 30 days.

Provide written notice of the results of the investigation within 5 days of its conclusion.

This is my second attempt to correct these inaccuracies. I have spoken with a CFPB representative, who advised me to file a complaint if Equifax did not remove the inaccurate accounts. Additionally, I have retained legal representation to pursue action against Equifax for violating the FCRA, FDCPA, and for defamation of character.

I kindly request that the CFPB initiate an investigation into Equifaxs failure to comply with 15 USC 1681I and take the necessary actions to ensure these inaccuracies are removed from my credit report in accordance with federal law. 

Thank you for your time and attention to this matter.

Equifax is reporting incorrect information regarding a mortgage account with XXXX XXXX. Equifax is reporting late payments on that account in XXXX. 
XXXX XXXX sold that account to XXXX and quit doing all mortgages in XXXX. 
XXXX XXXX reports that I did not have late payments to them in XXXX in part because I did not even have any loan accounts with them in XXXX. 
No Loan > No loan payments > No possibility to have non-existent payments show up late. 
I tried to resolve this over several months with Equifax and XXXX several times and got nowhere. I submitted a complaint with you ( CFPB ) earlier this year and that got Equifax to admit that the problem was on their end with their computer systems.Equifax did remove the incorrect information for a short time. 
Equifax has now put the incorrect information back on my credit report. 
The original complaint I submitted to you ( CFPB ) is # XXXX What needs to happen to get Equifax to fix this issue permanently??

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 am continually being called on the telephone by this agency over an alleged debt. I am requesting validation of this debt. This account has been reporting inaccurately. I wanted to dispute this account because of this and it was affecting my credit report. I am having problems with this unfair treatment. I am sure that I settled this account before because it was not mine. This account was taken care of with the original creditor and promised me to update it out of my report. Therefore, this account is unverifiable. This is an error that you need to look into, so please do your investigation on this and remove or delete this account from my credit report.

I previously sent a letter asking for the documentation you used to verify these late payments, such as a transactional history, since what's reporting is not in line with any of my records and I know for certain that what's reporting is incorrect and inaccurate. Late payments affect my scores by a great deal, for sure you know that. How would you feel if the late payments reporting are not true but it keeps on weighing down your scores. SEE ATTACHED.

Company: Experian Information Solutions Inc. (OH)

I have been trying to receive my credit report from Experian for the past week. I applied for a bank account and was denied. I later received thru XXXX a letter stating the decision was based upon info provided by Experian. When I went to Experian website to request a free report I was directed to complete and download their app. I downloaded the app to my android phone and was warned my phone resolution was not supported and it may no work properly. After several unsuccessful tries I finally got the website to accept my data on my laptop. later I received an email requesting I finish my registration membership by activating my account. Clicking on the complete setup button took me to the Welcome back screen to Sign In. Clicking on that button took me another screen I thought would complete my request clicking on Get Your Free Credit Report took me another screen request Account Verification. 
Completing this screen and clicking on the Submit Secure Order takes me to a screen that said We have encountered an irrecoverable system error. Please note that your order has been canceled. Sorry about the inconvenience. 
Call us toll-free at XXXX This is the number I call several times. 

The only thing it does is state the XXXX options to receive a report, online or verbal instructions which is back to these steps and the same site. I need to see what Experian has on file in my report. Because of this I placed a XXXX XXXX on XXXX as well as XXXX. There is XXXX items seen on my XXXX report that are recent entry 's as well as a recent phone call. I have good reason to believe someone has gained access to some of my personal information and is attempting to use it to commit fraud with it. Only by continued search I located this site and a number for Experian where I could place a Fraud Alert on my Experian report which I did. I just hope the initial XXXX year alert is actually placed on my report.
