Issue: Improper use of your report — Reporting company used your report improperly
Company: EQUIFAX, INC. (TX)

I am rewriting to formally refile a complaint against EQUIFAX regarding the inclusion of inaccurate and fraudulent accounts on my credit report, which I believe violate the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ) and CFPB regulations. My name is XXXX XXXX XXXX, and my address is XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX, TX XXXX. My date of birth is XX/XX/year>, and my Social Security Number is XXXX. Upon reviewing my EQUIFAX credit report, I discovered several inaccuracies and fraudulent accounts. There are fraudulent accounts on my report, included in my credit reports. I did not open the account and was not informed about it beforehand, indicating it was established without my consent. I have already taken steps to address these issues by contacting EQUIFAX directly. I submitted a dispute and provided supporting documentation, such as drivers license, ssn card, proof of address and FTC report number XXXX. Despite these efforts, the inaccuracies and fraudulent accounts have not been removed from my credit report, significantly impacting my creditworthiness and financial stability. I am requesting that the CFPB intervene to ensure that these inaccurate and fraudulent accounts are promptly removed from my EQUIFAX credit report. Additionally, I seek written confirmation from EQUIFAX once these accounts have been corrected. I also ask the CFPB to investigate EQUIFAX handling of my dispute and its adherence to FCRA and CFPB rules.

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 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.

Issue: Improper use of your report — Reporting company used your report improperly
Company: EQUIFAX, INC. (FL)

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 account listed without my expressed written consent.
