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 against these Bureaus a month ago, but unfortunately, the inaccurate information on my report still remains. Surprisingly, I haven't received any response or correspondence from the Bureaus, and they have already closed my complaint. Could you please explain why they closed my complaint without resolving the issue? Have they even acknowledged or verified my dispute? I need assurance that they have thoroughly checked the inaccuracies on my report and validated the accounts. Can you provide details about the methods they used to verify my report? This situation is incredibly frustrating! It has been more than 30 days since I filed the complaint, and I expected these accounts to be updated by now. If they are not updated immediately, I will have no other option 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.

Issue: Attempts to collect debt not owed — Debt is not yours
Company: EQUIFAX, INC. (NY)

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.

Company: BANK OF AMERICA, NATIONAL ASSOCIATION (MS)

My account with Bank of America was never late .I have had exceptional payment history with Bank of America 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 XX/XX/XXXXXXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX 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.

Bank of America 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

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

I have disputed the accounts shown in my attached spreadsheet multiple times with XXXX, XXXX, and Transunion, most recently through online dispute in XX/XX/2024 and then by mail XX/XX/2024. I requested proof of any late payments as well as verification of information on these accounts. I also requested that these erroneous accounts be deleted from my report if the errors were not fixed. I was never provided proof and the errors on my credit report were never fixed as a result of my disputes. Each of the XXXX credit bureaus claim that they have completed a reasonable investigation, but these accounts are still being reported inaccurately on my credit profile, which is hurting my credit and shows their improper investigation into all of these disputes -- if the information was in fact verified as they claim, it would not be being reported differently by each credit bureau. I do not understand why they claim to have completed an investigation, and yet different dates of last activity AND different payment history is being reported by each bureau for each of these accounts. I believe the different dates of last activity indicates the illegal re-aging of the dates last active. My rights are being violated under FCRA. These inaccuracies accounts are hurting my credit and defaming my character, violating 15 USC 1681. 15 USC 1681 section 602 states I have the right to privacy ( 15 USC 1681 section 604a section 2 ). It also states a consumer reporting agency can not furnish an account without my written instructions. Under 15 USC 1666b a creditor may not treat a payment on a credit card account under an open end consumer credit plan as late for any purpose. The discrepancies in the reported " date of last activity '' and payment history across different credit reports are inaccurate and violate FCRA Sections 611 ( a ) ( 1 ) ( A ), 611 ( a ) ( 5 ) ( A ), and 623 ( a ) ( 8 ). Additionally, the collection accounts shown one of the files I've attached are illegal -- the 2 collection agencies shown are not licensed to collect for my state ; I submitted proof of this to all XXXX credit bureaus when I disputed the accounts ( attached screenshot showing the states they are listed to collect for and Maine is not listed ). XXXX removed them, Transunion and XXXX refused to.
