Company: EQUIFAX, INC. (TX)

XX/XX/XXXX Subject : Complaint Regarding Inaccurate Late Payment Entry on Credit Report Dear CFPB, I am writing to file a formal complaint against Equifax regarding an inaccurate late payment entry on my credit report that has not been resolved despite my attempts to rectify the issue. 

Account Information : Creditor 's Name : XXXX XXXX XXXX Account Number : XXXX Dates of Late Payments : XX/XX/XXXX Nature of Complaint : I submitted a dispute to Equifax disputing a late payment reported by XXXX XXXX XXXX I referenced the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( 15 U.S. Code 1681i ) and the Truth in Lending Act ( TILA ) ( 15 U.S. Code 1637 ( b ) ) in my dispute, explaining that the reported late payment was inaccurate for the following reasons : Payment Made on Time : According to my bank statements, the payment was made and processed on time. I have enclosed copies of the payment confirmation for your reference.

Account Closed : The account in question had been closed before the reported late payment, and no charges should have been accrued during that time. Attached are documents showing the closure date.

Clerical Error : There appears to be a clerical error in the reporting date. The date of the late payment does not align with my account history or payment records.

Despite providing this information and adhering to the dispute process within the Fair Credit Reporting Act, Equifax has failed to resolve this matter satisfactorily or remove the inaccurate late payment from my credit report.

As a consumer, I have rights under the FCRA and TILA, including the right to accurate credit reporting. The continued presence of this inaccurate information is negatively impacting my credit score and financial well-being.

Requested Resolution : I kindly request that the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau investigate this matter and take appropriate action to ensure that credit reporting agencies adhere to the Fair Credit Reporting Act and the Truth in Lending Act.

Thank you for your attention to this important matter. I look forward to your prompt response regarding the investigation of my complaint. 

Sincerely, XXXX XXXX XXXX

Issue: Attempts to collect debt not owed — Debt is not yours
Company: CAPITAL ONE FINANCIAL CORPORATION (PA)

I had a XXXX account when I was XXXX XXXX XXXX, and because you have to be at least 18 years of age to have a XXXX account, I believe the Informations was sent to credit card companies and then credit cards were sent to our address. When my father ran out of money to lay for food and other necessities I pointed out that we had credit cards that kept being sent to us, and so we used one to pay for food and other necessities. Shortly after the credit card was used, a serious family problem occurred which resulted in forgetting about the use of the credit card. About a decade later ( now ) I decided to get a Capitol One credit card, and when I signed up for it, there was no mention of a credit account in my name before my current one. A month or two after I got the Capital One credit card I was sent a paper in the mail from XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX ( XXXX ) saying that I owe them {$450.00} because they bought my previous Capital One credit card debt. I then disputed their claim because I assumed they were talking about the credit card I got just after turning 18 and they sent me copies of papers of Capital One saying that the XXXX acquired my credit card account with a balence of {$450.00} ( The credit card used for buying groceries ). My father and I then decided to call XXXX and see if we could somehow get the debt transferred to his name without any record of this debt being in my name. They then proceeded with telling us to pay it off and it will no longer be there but that didn't help us since there was still a chance for it to show up as a paid debt in my credit report.

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.

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, Experian, and XXXX data breach, which raises concerns about the security of my personal data.

I need to escalate this problem that I have with credit bureaus. They're not giving me any direct resolution to my problem. They are furnishing multiple accounts on my credit report without my written approval and that is invading my personal information. These negative accounts due to late payments and charges were all XXXX out by the individual who had these services but they're still declaring it as late or Charged-off. Why can't they just remove it or change it into its current status? I need to get this straightened out as I'm tired of going back and forth with them. I've been communicating with these departments since the start of this year. This is so annoying and exhaustingon my part.

The Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ) is a federal law that promotes the accuracy, fairness, and privacy of information in the files of consumer reporting agencies ( CRAs ). CRAs are companies that collect and maintain consumer information, which is then used to produce consumer reports. These reports may be used by creditors, insurers, employers, and others to make decisions about granting credit, loans, insurance, or employment. Under the FCRA, CRAs must take reasonable steps to ensure the maximum possible accuracy of the information they report. They must also correct or delete inaccurate or incomplete information. In addition, the FCRA requires CRAs to provide consumers with access to their consumer reports upon request. Finally, the FCRA protects consumers from identity theft and other forms of fraud by requiring CRAs to take reasonable steps to protect the confidentiality and security of consumer information. The FCRA is enforced by the Federal Trade Commission ( FTC ), the nations consumer protection agency.With that said, according to the Fair Credit Reporting Act, Section 611 of FCRA, you have a responsibility of promptly deleting any information which is inaccurate or incomplete. This is my understanding as well. It's important to note that under the FCRA, even if an account has only been speculated upon or never confirmed in any way, the burden falls on you ( the credit bureau ) to provide evidence of its veracity before it can be placed on my credit report.Furthermore, the Metro 2 standard is a common format for reporting credit information. Banks and other lending institutions use the Metro 2 standard to report information to the CRAs. The goal of the Metro 2 standard is to make it easier for lenders to provide accurate and consistent information to the CRAs. This, in turn, should help to improve the accuracy of credit reports. The Metro 2 standard was developed by the Consumer Data Industry Association ( CDIA ) and is used by all major credit reporting agencies ( CRAs ) .The information in my credit report is wrong! Therefore, it can not be compliant with FCRA and METRO 2 standards because the information was never proven to be factual. So now, I have decided that enough 's enough, and will exercise my consumer rights.The following account allegations are either untrue, unverified, and incorrect. Please remove them immediately, or I will have no choice but to take legal action against you! Also, federal law requires you to respond within thirty ( 30 )
