Issue: Improper use of your report — Reporting company used your report improperly
Company: EQUIFAX, INC. (LA)

I am writing to express my deep concern regarding the unavailability of my credit data from your bureau. As a diligent consumer who consistently monitors their credit profile, I am troubled by the recent discovery that vital information seems to be missing from your records. Despite being proactive in managing my finances and ensuring timely payments on all accounts, I have encountered significant hurdles due to the absence of my credit data from your bureau. This has not only caused inconvenience but has also put me in a precarious position, especially concerning recent financial transactions and loan applications. I have made numerous attempts to address this issue through your customer service channels, but regrettably, the resolution process has been slow and ineffective. As a result, I find myself facing unnecessary challenges in accessing essential financial services and opportunities.

I am writing to formally lodge a complaint concerning inquiries on my credit report that I neither recognized nor consented to. These unauthorized inquiries are not only concerning but also damaging to my financial reputation. It has come to my attention that certain inquiries have been made on my credit report without my consent or knowledge. I want to emphasize that I have no association with these inquiries and have never authorized any entity to access my credit information in this manner.

I HAVE BEEN REPORTING TO THE CREDIT BUREAUS THAT THERE IS A DEROGATORY ACCOUNT REPORTING ON MY CREDIT FILE THAT DOESNT BELONG TO ME. AFTER PULLING ALL THREE OF MY CREDIT REPORTS I NOTICED A XXXX XXXX REPORTING ON MY REPORT THAT IS NOT MINE. I DISPUTED THIS AND THE CREDIT BUREAUS ARE VERIFYING THAT THIS ACCOUNT IS ACCURATE. I REQUESTED THEM TO SEND ME THE CASE INFORMATION I CONTACTED THE COURT AS WELL TO FIND OUT WHAT IS GOING ON BUT THE XXXX XXXX COURT SYSTEM HAS NO RECORD OF THIS CASE IN THEIR DOCKETS. 

I REQUESTED THE CASE FILES BEHIND THIS BANKRUPTCY BECAUSE THE COURT DOES NOT HAVE THIS IN THEIR DATABASE SO IM NOT UNDERSTANDING HOW THE CREDIT BUREAUS ARE VALIDATING THIS AND CONTINUOUSLY REPORTING THS ON MY CREDIT FILE. I GOOGLED THE INFORMATION AND A COMPANY NOT AFFILIATED WITH THE COURT SYSTEM SHOWS THE INFORMATION ON MY CREDIT FILE BUT HAVE NO SUPPORTING DOCUMENTATION OF THIS BANKRUPTCY CASE. THE CASE NUMBER THEY ARE REPORTING IS XXXX THIS IS'NT A CASE NUMBER THAT I AM ABLE TO LOCATE IN THE COURT SYSTEM. 

THE COMPANY NAME PULLS UP AS PUBLIC INFORMATION SERVICES WHICH IS A COMPANY THAT PROVIDES CONSULTING SERVICES IN CALIFORNIA. 
I HAVE NO AFFILIATION WITH THIS COMPANY AND I AM UNSURE HOW THEY WERE ABLE TO HAVE ACCESS TO MY PERSONAL INFORMATION AND CREDIT FILE. THIS IS A VIOLATION OF MY CONSUMER RIGHTS UNDER FCRA LAW. HOW ARE THE BUREAUS ABLE TO REPORT THIS TO MY CREDIT FILE WITHOUT PROPERLY VALIDATING WITH THE SOURCE.

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

I have submitted several disputes to all 3 major credit reporting bureaus ( XXXX/Equifax/XXXX ) in regards to this XXXXXXXX XXXX XXXX account and the numerous discrepancies and inconsistencies reported on this account by all 3 bureaus. I have requested verification and validity of this alleged debt from the 3 bureaus and the collection agency directly. I keep getting notifications from all three bureaus stating that the information on this collection has been " verified '' and is " accurate '' when you blatantly see the inconsistent and inaccurate items being reported on this account that I will detail. First and foremost, Equifax is currently reporting this account as OPEN! and 120 days PAST DUE, on a collection account! Equifax is also reporting a date of last payment! I have NEVER made any payment on this account as I deny it is mine. a collection is by DEFAULT late and past due. The sole fact that this collection is reporting 120 days late and open is a complete error and FCRA violation. Furthermore, XXXX is also reporting this collection as an OPEN account. Lastly, XXXX is reporting date of last activity as XX/XX/XXXX. XXXX is reporting date of last activity as XX/XX/XXXX. Equifax is reporting date of last activity as XX/XX/XXXX. Pursuant to the FCRA I am entitled to fair and 100 % accurate reporting. These egregious errors are ruining my life and the fact that the bureaus failed to acknowledge or rectify these reporting errors and verified them as accurate is astonishing to me and I demand relief.

My account with XXXX XXXX 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 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 that are reported late to be removed.

Upon reviewing my credit report, I discovered several accounts that I do not recognize and believe to be fraudulent. These accounts appear to be opened without my authorization, and I am deeply concerned about the potential impact on my credit standing and financial well-being. I suspect that I am a victim of identity theft, as I have not initiated or authorized the opening of these accounts. The presence of these unauthorized accounts on my credit report has caused me significant distress and uncertainty about the security of my personal information. I have attached a copy of my credit report highlighting the unrecognized accounts for your reference.

Despite my previous 4 written requests, the unverified items listed below still remain on my credit report in violation of Federal Law. They stated in their responses to my 4 dispute letters that they have verified that the items listed are accurate but they failed to send me copies of the documents that they used to verify these accounts as per my request. The fact that they have ignored my request to send me copies of the documents that they used to verify the disputed accounts is evidence that they can not and did not verify any of the disputed accounts like they said they did. Their failure to delete the disputed accounts that they can not verify after two written requests is also evidence of their willful disregard of Federal Law.
