Company: EQUIFAX, INC. (SC)

I am writing to express my deep concern regarding the unavailability of my credit data from your bureau. As a diligent consumer who consistently monitors their credit profile, I am troubled by the recent discovery that vital information seems to be missing from your records. Despite being proactive in managing my finances and ensuring timely payments on all accounts, I have encountered significant hurdles due to the absence of my credit data from your bureau. This has not only caused inconvenience but has also put me in a precarious position, especially concerning recent financial transactions and loan applications. I have made numerous attempts to address this issue through your customer service channels, but regrettably, the resolution process has been slow and ineffective. As a result, I find myself facing unnecessary challenges in accessing essential financial services and opportunities.

My account with the company and i was never late! I have had exceptional payment history witH XXXX XXXXXXXX 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. This company 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!

" 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 inquiries I didn't consent to and personal information 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 never consented to these inquiries and did not provide written consent to report them List all inquiries : Here is the personal information that I never consented to or provided written consent to report : List all personal information want deleted :.

Please investigate and provide proof with statements showing that I authorized or consented to these inquiries or personal information and proof that I authorized the reporting of this information. If proof can not be provided I demand these inquiries and personal information be deleted.

Adjust accordingly if there is no inquiries or personal information to be deleted "

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

I am filing this complaint because my identity was used to open multiple accounts fraudulently without my consent. Despite taking immediate action by notifying the credit bureaus and providing them with a copy of my FTC Identity Theft Report, these fraudulent accounts and the associated debts continue to appear on my credit report. 
These unauthorized accounts are negatively affecting my credit score and causing significant stress and financial harm. The credit reporting agencies have failed to remove these fraudulent accounts, which is a clear violation of the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ). As per the FCRA, credit bureaus are required to conduct a thorough investigation and promptly remove any inaccurate or fraudulent information from consumer credit reports.

Issue: Dealing with your lender or servicer — Trouble with how payments are being handled
Company: MOHELA (NJ)

After XXXX XXXX in XXXX, I've been handling my student loans for years. I've gone from XXXX XXXX to XXXX to XXXX and now Mohela. Currently, after transferring my loans to Mohela in XX/XX/XXXX, they have seemingly gone crazy with my balance. It took about 8 weeks after consolidating my loans to them to see any balance ( {$29000.00} ). And that balance is where it stay for about 7 months. As someone who has a fear of debts, I had been checking my balance between once a week and once a day since I got them, and on XX/XX/XXXX, I login to a change in balance. The balance went to XXXX. I have a capture of my account on XX/XX/XXXX, showing a XXXX balance as well as their trademark " Your account is in good standing. '' This, with a simple search on some forums, is what they always show to be when you owe them no money. After a conversation later that day with Mohela, they didn't honestly explain what happened to my account, besides the word " reracking '' my loan. They didn't actually explain what that was, but by XX/XX/XXXX, the balance had returned. After that, I started checking the balance of my account daily. It stayed where it was until suddenly it shifted to {$53000.00}. I have issue with this, as my repayment plan is based around the amount of {$29000.00}, and if the balance is suddenly over $ XXXX, then I'm not sure how this will affect actually paying off my loans. Additionally, I'm not sure I trust them to be truthful with my balance, if I were to pay the loan off, as I've been doing in the past. Attempts to contact the company have gotten me put into one of two situations, where either ( a ) I get stuck in a loop pressing buttons and having to start over or ( b ) thinking I'm going to get ahold of someone only to be hung up on. I've not been able to get anyone on the phone since XXXX, and I'm genuinely worried they'll continue abusing me, as withholding the amount I may have owed has already messed with things, as being under no specialized payment plan, a XXXX XXXX  loan would not be able to beat interest by having {$220.00} payments, never mind be paid off in 20 years as it claims in supporting documents. Also, I'm incapable of actually giving them money right now, as it say I have {$0.00} due. Please advise and help any way you can. 

Thank you.
