Issue: Incorrect information on your report — Account status incorrect
Company: SYNCHRONY FINANCIAL (FL)

I noticed my credit score went down significantly at the end of XXXX and beginning XXXX. I called JCPenny in XX/XX/XXXX, was informed they could see in the system my payments in XXXX, XX/XX/XXXX, XXXX, XX/XX/XXXX. I asked if they received my payment why their system reported to the credit. Bureau 3 x 30 late payments for XX/XX/XXXX, XXXX, XX/XX/XXXX. They said they would send update to credit bureaus to clear but would take XXXX days. I called back in XXXX and went through the same thing again. I am so frustrated 8 months later still my credit shows 3x30 days late when JC Pennys on 2 occasions have confirmed I was not late. 

I also contacted each credit bureau online multiple times and still not removed from the credit bureaus. 

How do I fix this? As a consumer I feel totally unable to resolve this issue.

Company: EQUIFAX, INC. (TX)

Subject : Report to CFPB Regarding Equifax Account XXXX : XXXX Disputes and Potential Identity Manipulation Dear Sir/Madam I am writing to report a concerning issue with Equifax, a credit reporting agency, that has resulted in ongoing disputes regarding several accounts on my credit report. I have reason to believe that my personal information and credit data are being mishandled and potentially manipulated by someone working within the Equifax system. 
Over the past few months, I have reported discrepancies in my credit report to Equifax, but they repeatedly fail to correct the information accurately. I have provided clear and legitimate documents, including a copy of my Driver License and Social Security, yet these are being entered into the system with errors, appearing as dark or blurry pages. I am certain that I have printed the documents clearly, raising suspicions that my information might be intentionally mishandled. 
Moreover, I noticed that Equifax has placed a military Fraud Alert on my credit profile, which is erroneous since I am not associated with the military in any way. This false alert has impacted my creditworthiness and caused undue stress and concern. 
Considering the gravity of the situation and its potential implications on my financial standing and personal information security, I kindly request the CFPB 's immediate investigation into this matter. Equifax 's failure to address and rectify the errors in my credit report raises serious concerns about the security and accuracy of the data they hold. 
I am prepared to cooperate fully with any necessary procedures to resolve this issue and provide any additional information or evidence that may aid in the investigation. 
Thank you for your attention to this matter. Your prompt action is greatly appreciated.

FCRA requires consumer files accurate and complete. Want account to list on credit report entire payment history & updated status ; date account was opened and closed ; credit limit ; high credit limit ; balance, high balance ; list in payment history section year and month payments were 30,60,90,120,150, 180 days late and charged off date. 

XXXX XXXX XXXX informed me that account is owed by them effective XXXX. And XXXX does not own account, however account is 100 % inaccurate. 

Attached is document from XXXX XXXX XXXX stating their ownership. 


Congress was clear that credit reporting companies and furnishers have responsibilities with respect to accuracy with no exceptions for legal issues. 

the CFPB, together with the Federal Trade Commission ( FTC ), filed an amicus brief in Sessa v. XXXX XXXX XXXX LLC, a case in which a consumer sued XXXX, one of three nationwide credit reporting companies, for violating the FCRA. There is no dispute about the facts : XXXX reported on a consumers credit report that she owed nearly {$20000.00} on a car lease that she actually didnt owe under the plain terms of her lease. 

The consumer sued XXXX, arguing that it had violated the FCRA by failing to have reasonable procedures to assure the information on her report was accurate. XXXX argued that it couldnt be responsible for failing to do its duty because the error was legal rather than factual. XXXX also argued that the incorrect information couldnt be inaccurate because it was provided to XXXX by the company that financed the lease. 

The brief filed by the CFPB and FTC points out that the FCRA does not contain an exception for legal inaccuracies. Rather, the law commands credit reporting companies to follow reasonable procedures to assure maximum possible accuracy. While XXXX argues that the inaccuracy on the consumers credit report was based on a legal dispute, the error was simple and straightforward : XXXX reported that the consumer owed money that she clearly did not.

For some reason my Social was somehow used for the loan but me and my father have been trying to get it in the correct name aka his name and the correct account and off of my credit since I have nothing to do with this loan as it is incorrectly reported and affecting my credit. The financial loan company has incorrectly put a loan in my name that needs to be removed as soon as possible as I never authorized anything and it is not my business, or have anything to do with me. The account needs to be put in his name and off of mine. My father even sent an email to the companys dispute department explaining that its his loan and should not be in my name and they still havent done anything about it. Its been over a month and nothing has been addressed as this loan is false reporting and fraud on the creditors end since I did not have any knowledge, sign, or give any of my information.
