Company: EQUIFAX, INC. (IL)

Web XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX settled a class action lawsuit and I was XXXX of the consumers that was included in this XXXX XXXX. This company switched financing partners and new accounts were opened without consent of the consumers and it affected my credit negatively. I was not properly warned about the effect that this change would have on my credit. Learning of this made me very upset that this happened and contacted to company to close the accounts, I owed no balances at this time. After finding out that this company began to report the old account and new account as negative, I called them again and told them to remove the inaccurate fraudulent information from my credit report as I had not ordered anymore merchandise due to me learning that my account was switched. My request was never granted and I have been disputing the accounts for almost XXXX now. This company ignored my pleas to investigate more into the breach of my account even when I told them that I didn't received anymore items from their company and that the last item that I received from them was completely paid off. This has left me in an XXXX XXXX and very XXXX. The negative impact has been affecting my credit for far too long and is being reported multiple times. This company also violated my rights to privacy by selling the fraudulent debt to another company with my personal information attached, while still reporting damages to my credit report. According to XXXX XXXX XXXX Laws, there should not be damages on my credit report as it is a deformation of my character.

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 Bureaus, 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.

This company screws people over. The amount of negative reviews they received in XXXX is astronomical. Thats a shame. They did want to respond to my last complaint so listed it as a duplicate. They keep changing how much is owed from {$11000.00} to {$12000.00} and vice versa. Equifax this morning dropped my score an extra XXXX point went it should have dropped no more after it dropped the XXXX points. I dont like the fact that credit acceptance has so much power over my score. I dont like how none of the bureaus are cracking down on them. They have XXXX positive reviews on XXXX these people XXXX over thousands. Im highly thinking about starting class action lawsuits against them.

My account with XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXXXXXX 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 me 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. 


XXXXXXXX XXXX XXXX XXXXXXXX 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! 

Delete the late payments from my consumer reports

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.
