Company: EQUIFAX, INC. (GA)

I am submitting this complaint against Equifax XXXX XXXX due to their failure to accurately report my credit information, which has severely impacted my life for the past two years. 

I am devastated by the ongoing struggle with both Equifax and XXXX  to correct inaccuracies on my credit report. This situation has profoundly harmed my life, preventing me from obtaining employment due to a lower credit score than I deserve. The inaccurate reporting is not only misleading but also fraudulent, misrepresenting my overall financial health. 

Despite numerous dispute letters and formal requests for correction, Equifax continues to report incorrect information. This has led to embarrassing situations, such as receiving debt collection letters that my mailman can see, all stemming from the mishandling of my information by credit reporting agencies. These agencies are not adhering to the standards required by law, and I feel helpless. 

Specific Issues : - Equifax XXXX XXXX continues to report inaccurate information despite my repeated disputes. 
- Equifax XXXX XXXX has not provided the names, dates, or contact details of individuals they spoke with during their investigations. 
- Outdated and incorrect personal information remains on my report. 
- Equifax and XXXX is violating my privacy by reporting this information without my written consent as per 15 U.S.C. 1681b. 

Supporting Documents : I have attached multiple dispute letters and affidavits sent to Equifax and XXXX, detailing my issues.

My account with XXXX and i was never late! I have had exceptional payment history with this company 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 in MONTHS REPORTING LATE 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.

This company 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!

I have lost count of the number of letters I have sent to your bureau regarding my status as a victim of identity theft, as my concerns have yet to be fully resolved. Once again, I am disputing the fraudulent information that is adversely affecting my credit file. 
Despite my submission of the required FTC complaint, your bureau continues to report these fraudulent accounts on my credit report. I want to emphasize that I have already contacted the banks associated with these accounts, submitted the necessary documents, and had the accounts promptly deleted from their records.

I have always maintained an impeccable payment record with the company, with all my payments set up on Autopay. This reported late payment is due to a system error on their part during payment processing.

This billing error by the company does not reflect my payment history and violates USC Code 1681eb. This mistake has severely impacted my reputation, character, lifestyle, and my family.

I insist that the late payment listed in the MONTHS REPORTING LATE be removed immediately.

The company is not complying with 15 USC 1666b, which outlines the standards for treating a payment as late. They incorrectly reported my payment as late without following the law.

15 USC 1666b ( a ) specifies that a creditor can not consider a payment late unless reasonable procedures ensure that the periodic statement, with required information per section 1637 ( b ), is mailed or delivered to the consumer at least 21 days before the payment due date.

The company failed to send the periodic statement and disclosures as required by section 1637 ( b ).

I have requested proof that this information was mailed or delivered 21 days before the due date in good faith under rule 1002, but it has never been provided. 

This situation is unfair, illegal, fraudulent, and unjust to me as a consumer. 

I demand the removal of the late payments from my consumer reports.
