Equifax is not accurately updating my score. They are providing false information that is almost XXXX points less than the correct score. 
I went to XXXX XXXX XXXX to open an account in XXXX they reported a low score of XXXX. I have disputed and removed numerous inquires and accounts this year. 

I requested a copy of my credit report and they suddenly lowered my score again without any notifications or reasoning explaining why. 

Equifax refuses to update my information correctly and I have children and a life I have to maintain. They are jealous and a negative entity that is now causing poverty in my life : I need an accurate score so I can always have housing and transportation.

Company: JPMORGAN CHASE & CO. (MD)

I initiated a wire transfer of USD XXXX from my XXXX XXXX XXXX, New York account to my JP Morgan Chase Bank account on XX/XX/XXXX. 

After waiting for a few days, I told XXXX that I still had not received the funds on XX/XX/XXXX. Then, XXXX sent two internal messages to Chase for a check-up but got no response. 

About XXXX, XXXX sent me the proof of remittance and we realized that I mistakenly put the account number for Chase off by XXXX digit. I went to the local Chase branch and told the manager the situation, and I started the recall request from the sending bank. 

After that, Chase informed me that the fund had been deposited to the incorrect recipient even though I provided my full name and address for the wire. Till now, the Chase wire department kept telling me that they tried to reach out the the recipient many times but could not get in touch with him. 

I asked by what means Chase used to contact the person, and their wire department answered they sent secure messages through the mobile app. Such a method is so unreliable that only a few people would actually look at their mobile app messages. I asked them maybe try to send a physical letter or call the person, but Chase refused. 

I also informed the situation to Chase Executive Office long time ago, and a representative said they hope can get a solution before XXXX. However, there is no update on the progress for 2 months.

On XX/XX/ I wrote Equifax about inquiries on my credit report that I do not recognize and that are not tied to any accounts that I have. I just checked my credit report again and the inquiries remain on my credit report. In my letter I let them know that I did not give my permission to the companies listed as viewing my credit to check my credit file, so why do these inquiries remain on my credit report? Furthermore, per 15 U.S. Code 1681b ( a ) ( 2 ) - any consumer reporting agency may furnish a consumer report under the following circumstances and no other : ( 2 ) In accordance with the written instructions of the consumer to whom it relates- so once again I do not give my permission to these creditors to remain on my credit report, nor did I give any sort of instruction or authorization for these creditors to check my credit score or credit file/report etc. Remove them at once please or I will not hesitate to seek legal counsel for damages due to not complying with FCRA. Doing an " investigation '' now will not suffice. Remove these unauthorized inquiries that are not in compliance with permissible purpose at once from my credit file. Thank you for your assistance!
