Product: Credit reporting or other personal consumer reports — Credit reporting
Issue: Problem with a company's investigation into an existing problem — Investigation took more than 30 days
Company: EQUIFAX, INC. (IL)

I lodged a complaint with these Bureaus a month ago, but unfortunately, the inaccurate information on my report still remains. I haven't received any communication from the XXXX, except for the notification that you sent stating that the company has responded to my complaint. How can I be certain that they have thoroughly checked the inaccuracies on my report? What methods did they employ to validate the accounts? This whole situation is incredibly frustrating! It's been more than 30 days since I filed a complaint with these Bureaus, and yet the disputed accounts have not been updated. If this continues, I will have no choice but to take legal action due to the immense stress this has caused me. Moreover, I am also concerned about the security of my personal data, as it was affected by the Equifax, XXXX, and XXXX data breach.

I have already sent a letter addressing the inaccuracies and unknown items on my credit report, but unfortunately, I have not received any response even after 30 days. It feels like I'm being taken advantage of and my disputes are being ignored. According to Section 611 ( a ), if these items are not investigated within 30 days, they should be promptly removed from my credit report. Since it has been over 30 days, I expect these accounts to be updated immediately. If not, I will have no choice but to pursue legal action due to the stress this situation has caused me. Additionally, my information was also affected by the Equifax, XXXX, and XXXX data breach, which raises concerns about the security of my personal data.

I previously submitted a letter addressing the inaccuracies and unfamiliar items on my credit report. However, it has now been over 30 days, and I have not received a response. It appears my disputes are being disregarded, which raises serious concerns. Under Section 611 ( a ) of the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ), credit reporting agencies are required to investigate disputed items within 30 days. If they fail to do so, these items must be removed from my report. 

As more than 30 days have passed, I expect immediate updates to my credit report reflecting the removal of these disputed accounts. Should this not be addressed promptly, I will be left with no option but to pursue legal action to resolve this issue, as the continued inaction has caused significant stress. 

Moreover, I was affected by the Equifax, XXXX, and XXXX data breaches, which heightens my concern regarding the security and handling of my personal information.

My accounts 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/updated.

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.

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!

I started the process of repairing my credit as it is important to me. I settled and closed the accounts that were listed on all 3 credit reports. I also disputed any inaccurate information on all 3 credit reports. I followed all instruction given to me by all 3 credit bureaus. I called all 3 credit bureaus to confirm that all information and payments were received, they sent me letters confirming that the paid/settled accounts were closed. I lowered the balance on all active credits cards and made sure they were all in good standing. I also registered with XXXX XXXX to make sure I monitor my credit report daily as instructed to do so. However, there has been XXXX change in my credit score, all 3 credit bureaus are providing completely different information as well as credit karma. 
Example : XXXX site is stating my credit score is XXXX, but XXXX site is saying my transunion credit score is XXXX. I pay a monthly fee to monitor these 3 reports and I feel like no matter what I do or what instruction I follow or what monthly fee I pay, I am being scammed because I have yet to see any significant changes in my credit report & score. I am being given the run around and non of my questions answered, and if I want " more access '' its a different fee added. Now that I am complaining to them, all of a sudden I have no access to my accounts. This is exhausting and discouraging. I am trying to make things right with my credit and I am getting no where. I truly need assistance with this matter as I feel I am being scammed by all 3 credit bureaus and XXXX XXXX.

Recently I saw a late payment on my credit report from your company that I do not recognize. According to the FCRA transactions such as payments are not supposed to show on a consumer credit report. I know that this is a billing error, and I just would like for it to be corrected.

This debt collector engaged in abusive, deceptive, and unfair practices of the FDCPA which it prohibits. They furnished this account that we didn't agree upon, and I didn't sign an agreement on. A legal contract is signed by two parties, and I did not participate in any of it. More so they didn't follow the proper 5 step validation procedure which make these unfair practices. According to the FDCPA Im entitled to XXXX dollars per violation and clearly, they violated my rights.

Issue: Fraud or scam — 
Company: TRUIST FINANCIAL CORPORATION (PA)

I was the victim of wire fraud. An individual accessed the system of either our mortgage company ( XXXX ) or closing company ( XXXX XXXX and XXXX XXXX ) and emailed me under the guise of our mortgage agent. They included a docusigned version of our qualification letter to reference the {$130000.00} in closing costs I would need to wire to the closing company. 

I wired that amount from my bank ( XXXX XXXX ) to an account at Truist ( account number XXXX ). Truist held flagged the transaction as possible fraud and contacted XXXX XXXX, who contacted me. I told them it was fraud ( by that point I had figured it out ) and XXXX XXXX relayed that message to Truist. That happened XX/XX/2023. 

Since then, I have been working with XXXX XXXX to try to get my money back from Truist ( who did not deposit the transaction into the fraudulent account ). I signed a letter of indemnity and have been waiting months. Yesterday, XXXX XXXX closed my case, saying that it was now between myself and Truist Bank as to whether I would get my funds. I have no point of contact at Truist. I don't have an account there. And I was basically told it was up to Truist whether or not they would keep my entire life savings or return it to me. 

Has anyone there ever heard of something like this? And how can this be legal? In my opinion, Truist basically foiled fraud so that they could commit it.

Hello, I am writing to delete the following information on my credit report. The following items are listed in the report. I am a victim of identity theft. The charges made on the account were not mine. The items need to be deleted as they are inaccurate items on my credit report. The theft of my identity was reported to the federal Trade Commission. 
Also, I have an enclosed copy of the Federal Trade Commission identity theft affidavit. 
Please find it in your best interest to delete the items I would like to emphasize the following legal obligations under the FCRA : Under 1681b, a consumer reporting agency may furnish a consumer report only under specific circumstances, including " In response to the order of a court having jurisdiction to issue such an order, or a subpoena issued in connection with proceedings before a Federal grand jury. '' This provision strictly limits when my consumer report can be furnished, and I do not believe any of these circumstances apply in this case.

Under 15 U.S.C. 1681i ( a ) ( 1 ) ( A ), credit bureaus must conduct a " reasonable reinvestigation '' upon receiving notice of a consumer dispute. I am formally notifying you of this dispute, and I expect a thorough and reasonable reinvestigation of all items I've identified.

15 U.S. Code 1681b outlines the permissible purposes of consumer reports, including conditions for furnishing and using consumer reports for employment purposes. I do not believe any of these permissible purposes apply to the disputed items on my report.

15 U.S. Code $ 1681c-2 a consumer reporting agency shall block the reporting of any.

information in the file of a consumer that the consumer identifies as information that resulted from an alleged identity theft, not later than 4 business days after the date of receipt.

15 U.S. Code 1681 Section B ( i ) - Requirements relating to reinsertion of previously deleted material - If a consumer reporting agency removes information from someone's credit file based on the requirements in the preceding section ( A ), the agency can not readd or reinsert that previously deleted information back into the person 's file unless the entity that originally provided that information certifies that it is complete and accurate.
