Issue: Incorrect information on your report — Information belongs to someone else
Company: EQUIFAX, INC. (GA)

I have been a victim of Identity Theft, which fraudulent activity has reported to my Equifax Credit File/Report. I have filed an FTC, Affidavit and have my Police Report to remove these fraudulent items from my credit report. In addition, I have filed a dispute online with Equifax providing the same information, which took over the required time frame for a fraudulent item to be removed. In addition, it took a long time for someone to get my complaint and process it, which I am filing this complaint. Also, Equifax is violating HJR 192 of 1933, 15 U.S.C. 1681b, and 18 U.S.C. 1028A, which my next steps is to seek litigation of damages of {$1000.00} per occurrence. There is one fraudulent account on my credit report, which needs to be removed effectively immediately. I am filing this complaint because Equifax is always receiving and processing my paperwork late or not even processing it at all and is always an issues relating to removing items via certified mail and online, which I heard people in similar situations saying the same thing. Therefore, I am submitting a complaint and asking Equifax to remove all fraudulent items from my credit file, based on my documentation uploaded through CFPB. The fraudulent account is : XXXX XXXX Date Opened : XX/XX/XXXX, Balance : {$46.00}, and Account Number : XXXX XXXX.

My accounts was never late! I have had exceptional payment history with XXXX XXXXXXXX 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!

Hello, I have issues with Shellpoint company. During my forbearance repayment plan, there was miscommunication. I did not miss my XXXX payment, as the due date coincided with weekend I sent my payment XXXX XXXX which was intended for XXXX. I explained this in my previous messages but they never gave any reference to my attached receipts, they just ignored my request. According to the forbearance plan which was given to me to follow, I didnt miss any payment as they claim.please see the attachment names as receipt. 
I believe you have the substantial amount of evidence to state that I have already finished my payments in time. It is their mistake not to take into account that. The third payment should have been considered to be XXXX payment not XXXX. 
Due to this misunderstanding I got Derogatory Account and delinquent account. ( Page 4 ) Because of this issue I got XXXX problems. XXXX of them is about my credit history, the other XXXX XXXX my PMI request was rejected and I had to pay it in XXXX.

To do what is fair to me as a consumer, delete and update my credit report as they are reporting inaccurate information that I have made them aware of but still keep reporting! This has caused me multiple denials and mental anguish that I can't even stand. I will not tolerate this anymore and will seek litigation if this is not handled!
