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

My account with Equifax 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 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.

This is unfair, illegal, fraudulent, and not equitable to me as a consumer!

On or around XX/XX/2024, I filed lawsuit against my former Landlord, XXXX XXXX, to recover my security deposit. The Court reviewed evidence, took testimony, and entered FINAL JUDGMENT against my former Landlord, and in my favor, affirming that I owe the former Landlord nothing, but that, XXXX is in fact a debtor to me. 

This collection item is therefore inaccurately placed on my credit reports, and should be immediately deleted.

I tried to obtain my XXXX annualcreditreports on XXXX on XX/XX/XXXX and tried again on XX/XX/XXXX and the only one I was able to obtain was XXXX. The other ones flagged me for not being able to identity myself. The answers I gave were correct to my knowledge. I originally went to obtain these reports through identitytheft.gov due to someone taking my taxes the last XXXX years and someone opening continuous fraudulent bank accounts, checking, saving, etc., etc. in my name the last couple years. I need this proof to also submit to a XXXX XXXX XXXX which was where my taxes for 2023, 2021, and 2022 were deposited into with a fraudulent account. I've been waiting for a while now, so if you can assist me and help me that would be awesome. Thank you.

Despite the multiple previous written requests, the unverified accounts listed below still remain on my credit report in violation of Federal Law. You are required under the FCRA to have a copy of the original creditor documentation on file to verify that this information is 100 % true, accurate & correct.

In the results of your first investigation and subsequent reinvestigation ( s ), you stated in writing that you verified that these accounts are being reported correctly? Who verified these accounts? You have NOT provided me a copy of ANY original documentation ( a consumer contract with my signature on it ) as required under Section 609 ( a ) ( 1 ) ( A ) & Section 611 ( a ) ( 1 ) ( A ). Furthermore, you have failed to provide the method of verification as required under Section 611 ( a ) ( 7 ).

Please be advised that under Section 611 ( a ) ( 5 ) ( A ) of the FCRA you are required to ... promptly CORRECT or DELETE all information which can not be verified. 
Section 616 and Section 617 provide me with a remedy which Im about to seek. You are willful non-complying with the FCRA.

Since you claim youve verified the accounts listed below I wanted to confirm my thoughts and contacted the banks directly. 
They did not provide me with any verifiable proof. So, my question comes up again, WHO VERIFIED THESE ACCOUNTS? I believe you have not verified these accounts based on Section 609 ( a ) ( 1 ) ( A ) & Section 611 ( a ) ( 1 ) ( A ) & I will be seeking a legal remedy.

Despite multiple attempts, I have been unable to resolve the issue of fraudulent inquiries appearing on my consumer report. These inquiries are not associated with me in any way, and I bear no responsibility for them. Their presence has caused significant mental and financial distress. As a victim of identity theft, I have no alternative but to consider legal action if this matter is not appropriately addressed. These inaccurate and fraudulent items on my consumer report have hindered my ability to purchase my dream house and provide for my family 's needs. The impact on my financial well-being has been substantial. For your reference, I have attached a copy of the letter I previously sent to the Federal Trade Commission ( FTC ), which outlines this issue and seeks resolution.

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.

I am filing this complaint against XXXX for their failure to properly reinvestigate inaccurate information reported on my credit file. I disputed an account that XXXX is reporting under my name because I believe the information is inaccurate and not related to me. Despite submitting a formal dispute, XXXX has failed to comply with the reinvestigation requirements under the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ) Section 1681i. 

XXXX has neither conducted a reasonable reinvestigation nor provided me with any documentation supporting the accuracy of the information in question. I have not received any communication or confirmation that my dispute has been adequately addressed, and the inaccurate information continues to negatively impact my credit profile. 

XXXX  failure to reinvestigate this matter is in violation of the FCRA, which requires them to investigate disputes in a timely and thorough manner. Their lack of action is causing harm to my credit standing and financial well-being, as the inaccurate information remains on my report. 

I request that the CFPB assist in ensuring that XXXX complies with its obligations to reinvestigate this disputed information, provide me with a clear resolution, and remove any inaccurate data from my credit file if it can not be verified.
