Product: Credit reporting or other personal consumer reports — Credit reporting
Issue: Improper use of your report — Reporting company used your report improperly
Company: EQUIFAX, INC. (AR)

am writing to formally dispute the inaccurate information reported by XXXX Bank XXXX on my credit reports with XXXX, Equifax, and XXXX. The discrepancies in the reported data are significant and have resulted in a misrepresentation of my credit profile. Additionally, there are concerns regarding a breach of privacy, as my personal data appears to have been mishandled or improperly shared. I demand the immediate removal of this account from all credit reports, compensation for the harm caused by these inaccuracies and violations, and a detailed investigation into these issues. 

Inaccuracies Identified XXXX. High Credit Limit : XXXX : {$0.00} Equifax : {$2900.00} XXXX : {$2900.00} XXXX Credit XXXX XXXX XXXX : {$3000.00} Equifax XXXX {$0.00} XXXX XXXX {$3000.00} XXXX. High Credit : XXXX : {$0.00} Equifax : {$2900.00} XXXX : {$3000.00} XXXX. Last Reported Date : XXXX : XX/XX/XXXX Equifax : XX/XX/XXXX XXXX : XX/XX/XXXX XXXX. Date Last Active : XXXX : XX/XX/XXXX Equifax : XX/XX/XXXX XXXX : XX/XX/XXXX XXXX. Date of Last Payment : XXXX : XX/XX/XXXX Equifax : XX/XX/XXXX XXXX : XX/XX/XXXX XXXX. Payment History : XXXX : Was XXXX Days Late XXXX XXXX Was XXXX Days Late XXXX Time Was XXXX Days Late XXXX XXXX Was XXXX  Days Late XXXX Time Was XXXX Days Late XXXX XXXX Equifax : Was XXXX Days Late XXXX XXXX Was XXXX Days Late XXXX Time Was XXXX Days Late XXXX XXXX Was XXXX Days Late XXXX Times XXXX : No late payments reported Violations and Impact The discrepancies in the high credit limit, credit limit, date last active, date of last payment, and payment history across the credit bureaus are egregious and have caused harm to my credit profile. The inconsistency in reporting late payments, with XXXX and Equifax showing extensive late payments while XXXX shows none, highlights the severity of the inaccuracies. Additionally, the mishandling or unauthorized sharing of my personal data, potentially for collections or other purposes, is a serious violation of my privacy rights.
