Company: EQUIFAX, INC. (IN)

Ive made several attempts to this company to stop reporting inaccurate information on my credit report, they refuse to do so and its causing me a world of trouble and stress. They did not complete a Social Security Form 3288 ( SSA-3288 ), which is required for permissible purpose under FCRA. This raises serious concerns about the legitimacy of the information reported, as well as the adherence to privacy regulations. I obtained my credit report it is reporting numerous inaccurate negative accounts. This has not only damaged my right to extend credit but it has made loose hope and trust within the banking system. I have been denied credit cards home loans because of this and my character has not only been defamed but my mental and physical health have suffered greatly. There is no law that says a consumer reporting agency MUST furnish information about a consumer which is why congress made it very clear that XXXX, XXXX, equifax ASSUMED this VITAL role pursuant to 15 USC 1681 ( a ) ( 3 ). Also, XXXX, XXXX, equifax failed to be fair and respect my privacy according to 15 USC 1681 ( a ) ( 4 ). I am requesting valid proof and documentation that these negative items were investigated fairly and properly. XXXX, XXXX, and Equifax is in violation of several federal laws including responsibility they have to protect my privacy. Im giving XXXX the opportunity to make this matter right by way of the following ; XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX

Issue: Fees or interest — Problem with fees
Company: CITIBANK, N.A. (NJ)

I received a statement today from Citi related to a credit card that i did not recognize, charging a {$50.00} annual fee. I called the number wondering if this was fraud, and found out that i opened an account in 1997, which sounds possible, even though i am positive i have not used this account in at least 10 years. I do not really know how this is possible since i never renewed any card, so it appears that the expiration date must have been automatically extended. It turns out that this annual fee has been auto-debited from my account all these years, even though the card has been inactive. I believe that a bank should confirm that a consumer wants a card to remain active if they charge annual fees, and i have no idea how this did not expire. 

Eventually Citi closed the account, but it took well over a half hour on the phone while they went through their offers and asked me more questions. The customer rep would not tell me the last time she saw a discretionary charge on the card, nor for how many inactive years i have been charged a fee. I believe that i should be refunded the fees for the years when the card was inactive, and Citi needs to amend their process and explain how the expiration seems to have been extended.

Despite my previous three written requests, the unverified items listed below still remain on my credit report in violation of Federal Law. In their responses to my dispute letters, they stated that they have verified the items listed as accurate but failed to send me copies of the documents used to verify these accounts, as per my request.

Their failure to provide these documents indicates that they can not and did not verify any of the disputed accounts as claimed. Furthermore, their failure to delete the disputed accounts that they can not verify after three written requests demonstrates a willful disregard of Federal Law.

I am listing accounts below that have been reported inaccurately on my credit report. In compliance with the Fair Credit Reporting Act and as a gesture of respect to the Federal Trade Commission Committee on accuracy and completeness of credit information I am formally writing in today to dispute negative information appearing on my credit. This incorrect information is greatly hindering me from getting the credit score I deserve and hopefully, this letter will resolve all the issues on my credit. I demand to see Verifiable Proof ( an original Consumer Contract with my Signature on it ) of the accounts listed below. Your failure to positively verify these accounts has hurt my ability to obtain credit.

I just reviewed my credit report again and found a number of accounts that do not belong to me. Besides the accounts I previously complained about, there are new accounts as well. I am being harassed daily and inaccurate personal information continues to be reported. My complaints have not been adequately addressed, and I urge you to correct this immediately, otherwise I will engage a lawyer since I am continuously denied housing as my credit score drops.

My account with those crediotrs 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 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 those account 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.

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 am writing to formally file a complaint regarding unauthorized accounts that persist on my credit report despite my repeated efforts to have them removed. These accounts are causing significant damage to my financial reputation and overall well-being. It is evident that the inclusion of these fraudulent items violates 15 USC 1681b regarding permissible purposes, as the credit bureaus have no legitimate reason to report them without my explicit consent. Please refer to the attached file detailing these items I am disputing.

The Fair Credit Reporting Act ( 15 U.S. Code 1681 ) says ( 1 ) The banking system is dependent upon fair and accurate credit reporting. Inaccurate credit reports directly impair the efficiency of the banking system, and unfair credit reporting methods undermine the public confidence, which is essential to the continued functioning of the banking system. So whenever there is a violation under the FCRA, it impairs the efficiency of the banking system. This is a violation of my privacy with my consumer report, since I control what is listed and what is not. In the event that any accounts are reported without my written consent, that is considered identity theft. ''
