Company: EQUIFAX, INC. (CA)

This is a complaint against XXXX XXXX. My problem started when I bought a house located at XXXX XXXX XXXX, XXXX, CA XXXX. I never lived at this address, as soon as I bought it I put it up for rent starting XX/XX/XXXX. I don't know when someone used my name to open an account with XXXX XXXX without my consent. I contacted XXXX XXXX but they would not give me any information about the account. They say they don't have any information because the account was closed and they gave me the phone number for the XXXX XXXX collections department. When I called that number I asked them if they had any type of document signed by me confirming my identity or if they could verify any information about my ID that they may have on my profile. I asked them what the name and address on the ID is. I also asked them what places the card was used. They were unable to give me the information I requested and they would not help me confirm the identity of the card user. I am requesting that they remove this fraudulently opened account from equifax, XXXX and XXXX. I am attaching a copy of the police report for identity theft, I am attaching my electric bill from XXXX which confirms my address at the time. XXXX XXXX ' collection department sends monthly unpaid reports to Equafax, XXXX XXXX, and XXXX. I can't pay for something I never bought. I never signed for anything. It's a fraudulent account, no one wants to help me. I have tried to file complaints with XXXX, Equafax, and XXXX XXXX, and they never want to help me. They always deny my complaint. I am asking for help. Please, this has to stop. My credit is ruined by criminals who used my identity. I will never apply for a loan or card.

I am submitting this complaint against the credit bureaus due to their consistent failure to respond to my dispute letters regarding incorrect information on my credit report. Despite several efforts to address this issue through the appropriate channels, the credit bureaus have neither acknowledged nor investigated my disputes, as required by the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ). 

Despite these repeated submissions, the credit bureaus have not provided any response, confirmed an investigation, or corrected the disputed information. This lack of response is a clear violation of the FCRA, which requires credit bureaus to investigate disputes and respond within 30 days. 

This marks my fifth attempt to resolve this issue, yet I have received no response from Equifax, XXXX, or XXXX. I am filing this complaint as a last resort and request your prompt assistance in addressing this matter.

My account with XXXXDEPT OF ED 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.

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. 

XXXX/DEPT OF ED never sent the periodic statement along with the disclosures from section 1637 ( b ).

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!
