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

My account with Equifax was never late! I have had exceptional payment history with XXXX  XXXX 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 rul
e 1002 and It was never provided.

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


Delete the late payments from my consumer reports

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 formal complaint against Equifax for multiple, willful violations of the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ) in handling my identity theft case. Despite my attempts to resolve this matter directly with Equifax, they have consistently failed to meet their legal obligations, causing significant harm to my credit standing, financial stability, and emotional well-being. 

Complaint Details : On XX/XX/year>, I received an inadequate response from Equifax regarding my identity theft dispute. Their response demonstrated a fundamental misunderstanding or deliberate disregard of their FCRA obligations. The core issue is not the factual nature of a credit inquiry, but its fraudulent origin due to identity theft. 

Equifax has violated the following FCRA sections : 1. Section 605B ( 15 U.S.C. 1681c-2 ) : Equifax failed to block the reporting of information I identified as resulting from identity theft within the mandated four business days of receiving my identity theft report.

2. Section 615 ( f ) ( 1 ) : Equifax neglected to follow proper
procedures for consumer disputes related to identity theft. Their cursory " investigation '' falls far short of the " reasonable procedures '' required by law to determine the accuracy of disputed information.

3. Section 623 : As an information furnisher, Equifax failed to conduct a proper investigation of the disputed information and to report the results to all nationwide consumer reporting agencies, as required when information is found to be inaccurate or incomplete.

These violations have resulted in : - Exposure of my private information - Failure to protect my identity from fraudulent use - Direct harm to my mental health, financial stability, and credit standing Actions Requested : I formally request that the CFPB require Equifax to : 1. Block ALL information I have identified as related to identity theft.

2. Conduct a THOROUGH reinvestigation of ALL disputed information.

3. Provide a DETAILED written report of their reinvestigation results within 5 business days.

4. REMOVE any information found to be inaccurate, incomplete, or unverifiable.

5. NOTIFY all nationwide consumer reporting agencies of any corrections made.
