Issue: Problem with a company's investigation into an existing problem — Their investigation did not fix an error on your report
Company: EQUIFAX, INC. (FL)

Equifax My current credit report has a listing and or listings in which has not been validated by your company per request per the FCRA 623 ( a ) ( 5 ) : If the Credit Bureau can not VALIDATE the information with the ORIGINAL CREDITOR, they must remove said information from the consumer credit file. 

The XXXX XXXX has mailed me letters which states that they DO NOT provide any information to credit reporting agencies, nor do they ever validate and/or confirm public records. It is the credit reporting agencies, and/or other third-party providers who collects information regarding public cases from public records. Public records information is NEVER validated by the Recorder of Deeds nor the XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX due to the Fair Credit Reporting Agency PRIVACY LAW.

My request to the XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX confirmed Equifax has never validated or verified these public record entries on my credit report, neither will they ever be by them. They further stated while they are NOT liable or responsible for any MISUSE or INCORRECT public records, nor the distribution of said information, public records may, and oftentimes are, reported by third party sources unawares to the consumer, and in most cases, incorrectly. Considering the information indicating a Fair Credit Reporting Act violation, I need all tax lien and XXXX  information currently showing under my social security number, date of birth, and/or address to be PERMANENTLY DELETED from my credit report immediately. 

The Equifax needs to provide me with copies of all documentation associated with these Public Record Accounts bearing either a court order to place this information in my credit report along with my authorization of release bearing my signature. To be in full compliance with the FCRA laws and guidelines, all the information listed under Public Records needs to be immediately deleted from the credit file you maintain under my social security number, date of birth, and/or address. Be further advised that I am closely monitoring my credit file. Per the Federal Law, you have exactly 30 days to complete this investigation as outlined per the Fair Credit Reporting Act 623 ( a ) ( 3 ).

Per the Federal Credit Reporting Act, Section 609 ( a ) ( 1 ) ( a ), you are required by federal law to verify through physical verification of the original signed consumer contract and/or judgment ( s ) all accounts and public information that you post on anyones credit report. Otherwise, anyone paying for your reporting services could fax, mail, email in fraudulent and erroneous account information. As such, if this unauthorized public record information is not deleted from my credit report within the next 30 days, I have already filed a complaint to the Federal Trade Commission and will follow with a Consumer Financial Protection Bureau claim if you fail to respond within 30 days of receipt of this dispute.

These can be combined On my credit report, you have shown incorrect accounts that should not be there at all. This is not only unjust to me, but it's also concerning, because I've never done or made any of the things you accuse me of. If you don't look into these accounts, I'll take legal action against you.

My accounts was never late! I have had exceptional payment history with XXXX  XXXX and all payments were placed on XXXX. 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 XXXX  days before the payment due date.

I have requested proof that this information was mailed or delivered XXXX  days before the payment due date and this information was requested in good faith pursuant rule XXXX and It was never provided. 

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

I recently reviewed my credit report and noticed an account that was not reporting accurately. I had one late payment on an account that was paid one time. The consumer reporting agency needs to report all information with complete accuracy. This account has not been late on payments, I've attached a copy of my report to this complaint. I am now requesting you investigate and provide verifiable proof with record that I had a late payment If this information can not be verified, I demand these payments be updated to be paid on time immediately.

XX/XX/XXXX Subject : Complaint Regarding Inaccurate Late Payment Entry on Credit Report Dear CFPB, I am writing to file a formal complaint against Equifax regarding an inaccurate late payment entry on my credit report that has not been resolved despite my attempts to rectify the issue. 

XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXXXX/XX/XXXX Nature of Complaint : I submitted a dispute to Equifax disputing a late payment reported by XXXX XXXX I referenced the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( 15 U.S. Code 1681i ) and the Truth in Lending Act ( TILA ) ( 15 U.S. Code 1637 ( b ) ) in my dispute, explaining that the reported late payment was inaccurate for the following reasons : The payment in question was made on time, as evidenced by the attached bank statements and payment confirmation receipts. 
There may have been a clerical error in reporting the payment due to inconsistencies between my payment records and the reported information.

I have confirmed with my creditor that the payment was processed within the allowed grace period.

Despite providing this information and adhering to the dispute process within the Fair Credit Reporting Act, Equifax has failed to resolve this matter satisfactorily or remove the inaccurate late payment from my credit report.

As a consumer, I have rights under the FCRA and TILA, including the right to accurate credit reporting. The continued presence of this inaccurate information is negatively impacting my credit score and financial well-being. 

Requested Resolution : I kindly request that the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau investigate this matter and take appropriate action to ensure that credit reporting agencies adhere to the Fair Credit Reporting Act and the Truth in Lending Act. 

Thank you for your attention to this important matter. I look forward to your prompt response regarding the investigation of my complaint. 

Sincerely, XXXX XXXX XXXX
