Product: Credit reporting, credit repair services, or other personal consumer reports — Credit reporting
Issue: Problem with a credit reporting company's investigation into an existing problem — Difficulty submitting a dispute or getting information about a dispute over the phone
Company: EQUIFAX, INC. (IL)

I had reached out to Equifax on a daily basis to help get the incorrect SSN on my account resolved. They have been unhelpful and every time I submit a new case, I am told to submit the documents again because they do not have anything on file for me. As of XX/XX/14, I spoke with XXXX, Agent ID XXXX, and also a supervisor XXXX, agent ID XXXX. After this call, I was told to send the documents again, even though they have been sent previously online and physically by mail. After this call, they had deliberately disabled my ability to submit a dispute online regarding my SSN. I can dispute any other information on my file, but my ability to dispute my SSN has been disabled. This is deliberate and criminal.

Issue: Problem with a company's investigation into an existing problem — Their investigation did not fix an error on your report
Company: EQUIFAX, INC. (FL)

I filed a dispute on XX/XX/XXXX and I was told by Equifax that they invalidated my Identity theft report because I didn't provide a copy of my social security card. No where on the FTC website nor in the law does it say that I have to mail a copy of my social security number to a credit reporting agency. Further as I have been a victim of identity theft it makes XXXX sense or logic why i would mail my SOCIAL SECURITY CARD thru the mail which is by no means secure to validate the identity theft report. Lastly Equifax does not have the authority to validate or invalidate a document from a government source namely the FTC. The supervisor i spoke to told me that " i am a phone agent and i have no information as to why our team invalidated the form but you have to refile it and resubmit it ''. When i asked for someone who could provide that information she said there is no one else i can speak to. Since this isn't my first time getting the run around i asked to speak to special handling and then i was transferred, however this is a clear attempt by Equifax to break the law and outright lie to consumers. The first rep said it was because i didn't provide my social security card, the supervisor says she has no idea... this is supposed to be the company that is safe guarding every american 's credit information??? When i was transferred to XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX tells me the same thing as the first agent that i need to submit my Social security card when i asked him what law is he referencing that requires that he refused to answer, and said " well if you aren't going to send it that's up to you '' i repeated my question as to what law he is referencing and he said the same thing. These employees are not even trained to know what they are even talking about! However, I am submitting AGAIN another dispute with the requested information.

I was a victim of the XXXX and XXXX Data Breach and I decided to review my credit file and noticed that there are multiple inquires that i never authorized or companies that I gave permissible purpose to or was extending credit for so they have XXXX written or expressed consent to have pulled my credit report. I have already filed and FTC Identity Theft report which I have attached along with a copy of my ID and a billing statement. Please remove these inquiries as they are fraudulent and were not authorized by me.

I am writing to express my deep concern regarding the unavailability of my credit data from your bureau. As a diligent consumer who consistently monitors their credit profile, I am troubled by the recent discovery that vital information seems to be missing from your records. Despite being proactive in managing my finances and ensuring timely payments on all accounts, I have encountered significant hurdles due to the absence of my credit data from your bureau. This has not only caused inconvenience but has also put me in a precarious position, especially concerning recent financial transactions and loan applications. I have made numerous attempts to address this issue through your customer service channels, but regrettably, the resolution process has been slow and ineffective. As a result, I find myself facing unnecessary challenges in accessing essential financial services and opportunities.

Company: EQUIFAX, INC. (MS)

My account with the company and i was never late! I have had exceptional payment history with this company 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 in MONTHS REPORTING LATE 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.

This company 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!

Delete the late payments from my consumer reports.
