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)

I am writing to formally dispute inaccurate information being reported on my credit report regarding a charge-off. The account in question is listed as follows : Creditor Name : Credit XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXXXXXX Account Number : XXXX Date of Charge-Off : XX/XX/year> It has come to my attention that the charge-off is being reported month after month on my payment history, which is incorrect. According to the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ), negative information such as a charge-off should only be reported once, corresponding to the date it was charged off. 
The FCRA requires that credit reporting agencies ensure the accuracy of the information they report ( 15 U.S.C. 1681e ( b ) ). Repeatedly reporting the charge-off each month results in a misleading and inaccurate credit report, which has significantly harmed my credit score.

Additionally, the statute of limitations for reporting a charge-off is seven years from the date of the first delinquency that led to the charge-off ( 15 U.S.C. 1681c ( a ) ( 4 ) ). Continuously reporting this charge-off as a new event each month does not reset the statute of limitations and is improper.

I request that you promptly investigate this account and correct the inaccurate information by removing the repeated entries of the charge-off from my payment history. Please update my credit report accordingly and provide me with a confirmation of these corrections.

Issue: Problem with fraud alerts or security freezes — 
Company: EQUIFAX, INC. (OH)

The freeze/unfreeze function did not work. I went to unfreeze credit in the online portal, and it said it was temporarily unfrozen. Then the creditor was still unable to pull credit. 
There was some kind of " internal block '' according to the supervisor. Because it did not work I attempted to use the portal again. after several attempts it blocked access and forced a phone call to customer service. This was an extremely long wait, with an overbearing amount of questions to verify identity. There should be a seperate line for those with technical issues with the portal. I have used these types of services with other credit bureaus and this is the worst.

Company: Financial Assistance Inc (VA)

On XX/XX/XXXX. I was in the process of buying a house, and after getting the closing going, I was informed that I had a collection for {$750.00}. I was blindsided by the information, as I had no collections at the time of the application or in the home buying process. I contacted FAO on XX/XX/XXXX. I mailed a debt validation letter to FAI, disputing a collection account on my credit report. FAI had already placed a collection on my credit report without prior verifying the debt. The mailed a letter to an address that was not associated with me and expected me to acknowledge the letter when I never got knew about the collection or had time to validate the debt or respond. I sent them a debt valid letter they ignored me and placed the item on my credit report. I am seeking the firm to be held liable to the FCRA law, and the fact that this is a clear violation of the FCRA Law- 15 U.S.C. 1692 If the collector gets a notice that the letter or message was undeliverable, the collector can't report the debt to the credit reporting agencies unless it achieves communication as detailed above. ( 12 C.F.R. 1006.30 ( a ) ( 1 ) and Official Interpretation of 30 ( a ) ( 1 ) ). 
Effective XX/XX/XXXX, an amendment to Regulation F, which implements the FDCPA, says that a debt collector can't report a debt to the three major credit reporting agencies, XXXX, XXXX, and XXXX, before first contacting the consumer.

I have a subscription to Experian XXXX. In XXXXXXXX XXXX, I received an alert that my XXXX XXXX XXXX daughter 's social security number was found on the dark web and was associated with the name of a person unknown to me. I decided that my first action would be to find out if there is a credit report associated with my daughter 's social security number. I consulted the Experian website for information on how to make this request. On XX/XX/year>, I sent a packet of information to Experian by XXXX. The packet was sent to the following address : Experian, XXXX XXXX XXXX, XXXXXXXX XXXX XXXX. The packet was received at XXXX XXXX  on XX/XX/year>, and was signed for by XXXX XXXX. The packet included the completed " Check if a minor has a credit report '' form, along with photocopies of my daughter 's birth certificate and social security card. I also included a photocopy of my driver 's license, along with a copy of an insurance statement as proof of address. I also included a very brief note explaining why I was making this request. As of XX/XX/year>, I had not received any response. On that day, I called Experian to try to find out about the status of my request. My call was forwarded by the first two people with whom I spoke. The third person I spoke to was in the fraud department. He said that he could not answer any questions of any kind regarding a minor 's credit report. In fact, I was not asking anything about the potential credit report. I just wanted to know what had happened to my paperwork and my request. He did not have any suggestions for any course of action for me. I asked if I should just send the whole packet again, and he said yes. I think this answer is unacceptable, given the fact that this packet of personal information had already been received by Experian.

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

Account Information : Creditor 's Name : XXXX XXXX Account Number : XXXX Dates of Late Payments : XX/XX/XXXX, XX/XX/XXXX, XX/XX/XXXX. 

Nature of Complaint : I submitted a dispute to TransUnion 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 : Payment made within the 15-day grace period : My payments were made on time, which falls within the creditors standard 15-day grace period. Therefore, the account should not have been reported as 30 days late. 
Clerical error by XXXX XXXX : Upon reviewing my account, I identified that my payments, which were made on time, were incorrectly processed as late due to a system error on the creditors part. This error led to the account being reported as delinquent without proper cause. 
Evidence Provided : I have attached my bank statements and payment confirmation emails showing that the payment was processed, clearly demonstrating that no 30-day late payment should have been reported. 
Despite providing this information and adhering to the dispute process within the Fair Credit Reporting Act, TransUnion 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 XXXX
