Issue: Improper use of your report — Credit inquiries on your report that you don't recognize
Company: EQUIFAX, INC. (FL)

Subject : Complaint Against EQUIFAX for Violation of Fair Credit Reporting Act Dear Consumer Financial Protection Bureau, I am writing to file a formal complaint against EQUIFAX for its refusal to remove a charge off account from my credit report in violation of the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( 15 USC 611 ). 

Account Information : Creditor Name : XXXX XXXX Account Number : XXXX Date of Charge Off : XX/XX/year> Amount : {$1100.00} I have previously disputed the accuracy of this charge off account with EQUIFAX and provided evidence that the information is inaccurate. However, EQUIFAX has failed to conduct a proper investigation and continues to report the inaccurate information on my credit report. 

Under the Fair Credit Reporting Act, I have the right to request the removal of inaccurate or outdated information from my credit report. EQUIFAX refusal to comply with this law is a clear violation of my consumer rights. 

I kindly request that the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau investigate this matter and take appropriate action against EQUIFAX for its non-compliance with the Fair Credit Reporting Act. I am seeking the immediate removal of the inaccurate charge off account from my credit report. 

Thank you for your attention to this matter. I look forward to a prompt resolution and your assistance in ensuring that EQUIFAX upholds its obligations under the law. 

Sincerely, XXXX XXXX XXXX

Company: CITIBANK, N.A. (TN)

My wife and I were in XXXX XXXX for vacation and ate at a restaurant called XXXXXXXX XXXX XXXXXXXX. The bill was {$61.00}, including a tip. The restaurant submitted the bill to Citibank for {$660.00}, adding {$600.00} to the bill. I contacted Citibank and told them of the error. I provided a copy of the menu and precisely what we ordered. I also noted that XXXX other couples were with us and, therefore, we had XXXX eyewitnesses to the fact that we did not spend {$660.00}. 

Citibank did not honor the dispute and I called them to determine why. the call took place at XXXX XXXX. on XX/XX/XXXX. I spoke with XXXX in their Fraud Department and XXXX in Arizona, before being transferred to a supervisor named XXXX. He told me that they were denying our challenge of this charge because they had reached out to the merchant XXXX teims and the merchant had never responded to them. So, despie the evidence submitted to Citibank of apparent fraud, they took no action because the perpetrator of the fraud did not bother to return their call. 

Citibank says that it provides fraud protection for customers. This episode appears to offer evidence that this claim is inaccurate and a fraud committed by a vendor will, in fact, be protected even if the vendor chooses to wholly ignore Citibank. It is difficult in this case to ascertain who may have committed the larger fraud, XXXX XXXX XXXXXXXX or Citibank. 

I further note that I have had my Citibank card for more than XXXX  years and have never previously lodged such a fraud complaint.

Issue: Incorrect information on your report — Account information incorrect
Company: TRANSUNION INTERMEDIATE HOLDINGS, INC. (IL)

I am writing to formally dispute inaccurate and inconsistent information reported regarding the XXXX account ( account number XXXX ) on my credit report. After communicating with XXXX XXXX Executive Office, I have been provided details that contradict what is currently reported by the credit bureaus. Under the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ), particularly 15 U.S. Code 1681s2, furnishers of credit information are required to report accurate and consistent information to credit bureaus. 

Here are the specific discrepancies between what XXXXXXXX XXXX alleges and what is reflected in my credit report : Date Opened : XXXXXXXX XXXX alleges the account was opened on XX/XX/XXXX, but there are discrepancies in the credit report where it shows different dates across bureaus. 
Date Reported : TransUnion lists the " Date Reported '' as XX/XX/XXXX, while XXXX shows XX/XX/XXXX, and XXXX reflects XX/XX/XXXX. These inconsistencies must be corrected for uniformity. 

Date of Last Activity : XXXX XXXX alleges that the last purchase on this account was on XX/XX/XXXX, and the last payment made was on XX/XX/XXXX. However, the credit bureaus are reporting varying dates of last activity, which leads to confusion and potential negative impact on my creditworthiness. 

Charge-Off Date : XXXXXXXX XXXX alleges that the charge-off occurred on XX/XX/XXXX, but this information differs across credit bureaus, leading to inaccurate reporting of the account status. 
Last Payment Date : According to XXXX XXXX, the last payment on this account was made on XX/XX/XXXX, but my credit report lists differing last payment dates. 

These discrepancies are causing harm to my credit scoXXXX and standing. As outlined under 15 U.S. Code 1681s2, furnishers are required to provide accurate and complete information. I am requesting that you investigate these inaccuracies, update the account information across all three bureaus, and ensure that the data is consistent with the details alleged by XXXX XXXX.

My account with XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX 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.

I recently reviewed my consumer report and noticed bankruptcies listed that I believe are inaccurate. After researching consumer protection laws, I have reason to suspect this may violate the Fair Credit Reporting Act, specifically 15 U.S.C. 1681c ( a ) ( 4 ) regarding reporting of bankruptcies. 

I am concerned that my personal information may have been disclosed without proper authorization. As I believe I may be a victim of identity theft, I request that you thoroughly investigate these entries and remove any inaccurate or fraudulent information immediately.
