Company: EQUIFAX, INC. (TX)

" I am writing to formally file a complaint regarding unauthorized accounts that persist on my credit report despite my repeated efforts to have them removed. These accounts are causing significant damage to my financial reputation and overall well-being. It is evident that the inclusion of these fraudulent items violates 15 USC 1681b regarding permissible purposes, as the credit bureaus have no legitimate reason to report them without my explicit consent. Please refer to the attached file detailing these items I am disputing. 
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. ''

Issue: Problem with a company's investigation into an existing problem — Investigation took more than 30 days
Company: Experian Information Solutions Inc. (TX)

I recently submitted a letter regarding the inaccuracies and unfamiliar items on my credit report, but it's now been over 30 days, and I haven't received any response. This lack of action is really concerning. According to Section 611 ( a ) of the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ), youre required to investigate disputed items within 30 days, and if you don't, those items must be removed from my report.

Since it's been more than 30 days, I expect my credit report to be updated immediately, reflecting the removal of the disputed accounts. If this isn't resolved quickly, Ill have no choice but to consider legal action, as this ongoing delay has caused me considerable stress. 

Additionally, I was affected by the XXXX, Experian, and XXXX data breaches, which makes me even more worried about how my personal information is being handled.

I see some items on my credit report that I dont know. It looks like someone might have stolen my identity because I didnt approve these accounts. Ive talked about this before, and now Im asking for these accounts to be taken off my report quickly. Having these accounts on my report is causing me stress. They dont show my real credit history or how I handle money, and its been hard dealing with this. If we cant fix this, Im ready to go to court to protect my rights and find a solution. These wrong items on my credit report are a big problem for me. Theyre stopping me from reaching important money goals, like buying a house and supporting my family. I hope we can fix this problem soon.

The company keep reporting to the credit bureaus about not paying on this balance. I first filled out the form to get credit for working at the Police department for 5 years. Every time I submitted the information the claim they didn't get ; so I gave up on that. Due to the fact, my income is under poverty level I feel out a extension for the paying back the loan. I was told I couldn't get any more extension. the rep and I discussed for them just to take my state taxes. I had no problem with that. When I pulled my credit report they keep report I'm late on my payments. I can't be late when they take my state taxes and all the other money the state gives me ( the checks for the Covid etc. ). By this company the report this and not reporting that they have been paid. It's ruined my credit and can't get any assistant nor jobs. I asked for them to send me the original contract that I stated I was paying {$70.00} a month. The only thing I agreed to was paying with my stated taxes. we barely have enough money to pay the bills. I also asked the credit reporting agency to correct this, but nothing has been done as of yet.
