Issue: Incorrect information on your report — Account status incorrect
Company: EQUIFAX, INC. (NY)

My accounts 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/updated.

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 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 again disputed this account on XX/XX/XXXX for XXXX date last active because its reporting differently on all three bureaus. XX/XX/XXXX for XXXX XX/XX/XXXX for XXXX XX/XX/XXXX for equifax. They should all be the same if the information is coming from the same Bureau. 

I dispute the account again on XX/XX/XXXX for continued payment history after the account has been closed. An account that has been closed should have no payment history after its been closed.

I want to stress that I did not give written permission for these specific transactions to be included in my consumer report. At no point did I authorize these entries, and their presence on my report is unwarranted. Consequently, I am formally requesting that these accounts be blocked and removed from my report immediately. 

It is important to clarify that this request is not due to any error or negligence on my part. There has been no oversight or misunderstanding on my end. Instead, this issue arises solely from the fact that I did not explicitly authorize the inclusion of these transactions in my report. I am diligent about maintaining the accuracy and privacy of my financial records, and these unauthorized entries compromise that integrity. 

I trust that you will handle this matter with the urgency and seriousness it deserves. Please confirm the removal of these transactions from my report as soon as possible. Thank you for your prompt attention to this issue.

They in fact did not come from a 3rd party. l even called them to verify it was me and they still refused to process my disputes. I wasted money on mailing my disputes out.

Company: HUNTINGTON NATIONAL BANK, THE (OH)

I went to the Huntington ATM at XXXX XXXX XXXX, XXXX OH XXXX to get money out of my savings. I entered {$180.00} and then it asked what denominations I wanted. I put in the amount of different bills and it immediately gave me my card back and said I needed to call Customer Service as the transaction could not be completed. I knew I had at least {$300.00} in the account. I immediately went to my car and looked at the app. It showed it posted to my account as if I received the funds. 

I called Customer Service where I waited for 45 minutes just to speak to someone. It was escalated to a XXXX who said he filed the dispute and it will take up to 10 days to get my money. I said WHOA WAIT ... I put that money into your financial institution in good faith and now its going to take up to 10 days to get my funds back that I trusted your machine to give me? He said well ever since we got the new machines we have had issues. I said not my problem. It IS my problem that I don't have money and you will not be providing me an immediate credit. I said run the camera 's, balance the ATM ... DO SOMETHING!!! He said they can not do that. 

I called again today to follow up and now being told they had to wait until it posted to my account which was yesterday and again, it can take up to 10 days. NOT FAIR!!! I trusted them with my funds. Now I have to close my accounts and bank elsewhere. It did not even provide me with a receipt. 

I am just getting the run around and of course no one at the branch answers the phone. It all goes to voice mail. I work for a living and can not physically get to the bank during normal business hours. Can you please help me? 

Thank you and have a good day!

Issue: Incorrect information on your report — Information is missing that should be on the report
Company: EQUIFAX, INC. (SC)

" 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. 


This is a violation of both 15 U.S. Code 1681b ( 2 ) and 15 U.S. Code 1681c-2. This leads way to civil liability against the credit reporting agency for negligent and willful noncompliance under 15 U.S. Code 1681n, which allows for {$1000.00} per violation, for each account listed without my expressed written consent. 
I looked at my consumer reports and noticed accounts I never gave anyone permission to report. Consumer reporting agencies have assumed a vital role and have a responsibility to report consumer information to the best of their ability with maximum possible accuracy like the Fair Credit Reporting Act clearly states. I did not provide written consent to report them. Please see attached file for these items I am complaining.
