Product: Credit reporting or other personal consumer reports — Credit reporting
Issue: Problem with a company's investigation into an existing problem — Investigation took more than 30 days
Company: EQUIFAX, INC. (TX)

I lodged a complaint with these Bureaus a month ago, but unfortunately, the inaccurate information on my report still remains. I haven't received any communication from the Bureaus, except for the notification that you sent stating that the company has responded to my complaint. How can I be certain that they have thoroughly checked the inaccuracies on my report? What methods did they employ to validate the accounts? This whole situation is incredibly frustrating! It's been more than 30 days since I filed a complaint with these Bureaus, and yet the disputed accounts have not been updated. If this continues, I will have no choice but to take legal action due to the immense stress this has caused me. Moreover, I am also concerned about the security of my personal data, as it was affected by the Equifax, XXXX, and XXXX data breach.

" I reviewed my consumer report and informed your agency on XX/XX/2024 about the items I disputed. Despite this, the issue remains unresolved in a manner that is fair and equitable to me as required by the FCRA. I sent a notice to your agency, including a FTC Identity Theft Report, and also filed a complaint with the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau CFPB. With this letter I have also included a FTC Affidavit to further substantiate my claim. 

Method of Verification Dispute Notice : Remove these Fraudulent Accounts, Inquiries & Inaccurate Personal Information. 

Your agency has clearly refused to follow the law and honor my previous request so I am requesting a reinvestigation and demanding your agency to explain your METHOD OF VERIFICATION in verifying these items, pursuant to the Fair Credit. ''

I called Trans Union on XX/XX/year>. At XXXX. Note this is not the first time. They keep getting accounts confused and subsequently some of her accounts are not mine account. In the past I have to address this with TransUnion letting them to check the social security number and they will see it's not mine. 

Today, XX/XX/year> I called again Trans Union because there is an inquiry by XXXX contact number XXXX. Trans Union stated there is nothing they could do and that I had to call XXXX. I then called XXXX and was transferred around, each department stated they had no accounts, or no accounts attempted to be opened under my social security number, name or date of birth. I requested a letter stating that and they refused stating it was not their mistake but TransUnion. Therefore, they requested I contact TransUnion. I then called Trans Union again. The representative stated I just had to live with it and deal with it for two years. I reported that TransUnion is the only one that does this, and I have to repeatedly be calling in for removals or corrections. The representative stated sorry I can't transfer you to the fraud department and you'll just have to deal with it. I need that inquiry removed from TransUnion for XXXX as I did not request that service or apply for it.

Company: Bread Financial Holdings, Inc. (AR)

I am writing this complaint because I previously had an comenity bank/express credit card. I mailed in my payment in full to comenity bank/express in 2017 and a week later I received a letter from XXXX XXXX  saying I owe the debt but I informed them that I had mailed the amount owed to comenity/express. They told me I needed to call them because XXXX  never received a payment from them. I immediately called comenity/express and they stated they had not received a payment from me. I had sent them two payments on the same day. So I called XXXX  back and we agreed to wait awhile but and almost two months later of going back and forth they stated they just received a partial payment from them. I then called comenity/express again to inquire about the other half of the payment and they said they had no record that they received any payment for me ( which was crazy because XXXX  had gotten a partial payment from them ). Comenity said they would look into the matter but no one ever called me back. After going back and forth with XXXX  I just paid the remaining balance and filed a complaint with CFPB to have XXXX  removed from my credit report because it should have never been put on there. They responded that they would remove it from my report and that comenity/express was working to recall it from my credit. This debt has been paid in full and I would like comenity/express removed from my credit report because they stated they were going to recall it to XXXX XXXX and because they state they never received a payment from me but they sent XXXX a partial payment. I dont know what they did with other payment I made to them since they quote had no record that I sent in a payment. 

I havent heard anything else from them to this day. I also have not received a refund of the remaining payment I made. I would like this resolved as soon as possible. Thank you.

My account with EQUIFAX 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 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.

EQUIFAX 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!

I keep getting emails from XXXX that wants me to click on a link or something would be deactivated.

I've searched the company website for information and it provides none. I attempted to contact the company in writing, but they do not provide an email address. All correspondences must be done in writing to protect both sides.

I simply want to know if this is a valid email that is being sent or if it is SPAM. Don't understand why the company can send emails to me but won't allow me to email them. I guess complaints are the only way to ensure that everything is correctly documented.

Company: EQUIFAX, INC. (TX)

I am filing a complaint against Equifax, XXXX and XXXX for their failure to correct inaccurate information on my credit report despite multiple dispute submissions. The inaccuracies have caused significant harm to my creditworthiness and financial standing. 

I have provided the credit reporting agency with detailed information regarding the inaccuracies and have requested corrections in accordance with the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ). However, they have willfully and negligently failed to comply with the following statutes : 15 U.S. Code 1681n - Civil Liability for Willful Noncompliance : The agency has willfully disregarded the accuracy of my credit information.

15 U.S. Code 1681o - Civil Liability for Negligent Noncompliance : The agency has negligently failed to address the inaccuracies on my credit report.

15 U.S. Code 1692k - Civil Liability : The inaccuracies have led to unfair debt collection practices, further compounding my distress and financial damage. 

I have attached a formal letter sent to Equifax, XXXX and XXXX, detailing my demands for correction and the legal basis for my claims. I would like the CFPB to be aware of the wrongful actions by the credit reporting agency and to intervene to ensure that they comply with their legal obligations under the FCRA and rectify the inaccuracies on my credit report promptly.

I noticed that inaccurate accounts are showing up on my credit report this morning and I have no idea why. I just checked my credit report as I usually do but this time there were discrepancies out of nowhere. I tried refreshing my browser to see if it was just a malfunction or something but it was not. The inaccurate accounts did not get removed when I refreshed my browser. Because of this issue, I am asking that the documents I've sent will be checked thoroughly so that I can never worry again about this.

" I am writing to formally file a complaint regarding unauthorized accounts that persist on my credit report despite my repeated efforts to have them removed. These accounts are causing significant damage to my financial reputation and overall well-being. It is evident that the inclusion of these fraudulent items violates 15 USC 1681b regarding permissible purposes, as the credit bureaus have no legitimate reason to report them without my explicit consent. Please refer to the attached file detailing these items I am disputing.

The Fair Credit Reporting Act ( 15 U.S. Code 1681 ) says ( 1 ) The banking system is dependent upon fair and accurate credit reporting. Inaccurate credit reports directly impair the efficiency of the banking system, and unfair credit reporting methods undermine the public confidence, which is essential to the continued functioning of the banking system. So whenever there is a violation under the FCRA, it impairs the efficiency of the banking system. This is a violation of my privacy with my consumer report, since I control what is listed and what is not. In the event that any accounts are reported without my written consent, that is considered identity theft. ''
