Product: Credit reporting or other personal consumer reports — Credit reporting
Issue: Problem with a company's investigation into an existing problem — Their investigation did not fix an error on your report
Company: EQUIFAX, INC. (WA)

Dear CFPB, I am writing to file a complaint against Equifax for not removing a closed charge-off account from my credit report despite disputing it three times. This is a violation of the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ), 15 U.S.C. 1681c ( a ) ( 4 ). 

The account in question is beyond the seven-year reporting period allowed under the FCRA. The charge-off occurred more than seven years ago, from the date of first delinquency, and should have been removed from my credit report. Both XXXX and XXXX have already removed the closed charge-off account, but Equifax has failed to do the same. 

Please assist in ensuring Equifax complies with the FCRA and removes this outdated account from my credit report. 

* Attaching credit reports from XXXX and XXXX to show closed/charge-off account arent being report by them* Thank you

There was a collection on my account from XXXX XXXX XXXX for an account with XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXXXXXX XXXX. This collection did not show up on my account until I submitted a request for a home loan through XXXX XXXX. This collections account was recently taken off my profile for it not being me. I spoke with the apartment complex and the collections agency who both confirmed that the SSN, DL ID or complete name ( including middle name ), did not match me. I received a release letter from the collections agency that I sent to both Experian and XXXX who showed this collections against my credit profile. 

However, because I was in the process of buying house, this has caused my credit to go from XXXX to in the 640s. After the credit was fixed, the loan rates had gone up and now I will be paying a higher interest rate. This collections account should have never been on my account and neither XXXX nor Experian can tell me why this was on my credit profile. This is gross negligence and I plan on pursuing legal action.

I reviewed my consumer reports and I noticed that I had XXXX collections I was in fact never late on or have knowledge of. The consumer reporting agencies have assumed a vital role and have a responsibility to report consumer information to the best of their ability with maximum accuracy. I have never been late on payments for the accounts that I have included screenshots of inside this complaint, on dates XX/XX/XXXX til present XX/XX/XXXX for account XXXX, and dates XX/XX/XXXX til present XX/XX/XXXX for account # XXXX is in complete violation of 15 U.S Code 1692, and are hindering my right to credit due to false reporting. Please investigate and provide proof with statements showing that these payments were late. If proof cant be provided I DEMAND these payments to be updated to paid as agreed on time as they should be due to the fact I was never late. I will also attach an invoice for damages and opportunities missed due to false reporting. Even in the screenshots you can see the inaccuracy of the reporting. Thanks!

" 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.

This is a violation of both 15 U.S. Code 1681b ( 2 ) and 15 U.S. Code 1681c-2. This leads way to civil liability against the credit reporting agency for negligent and willful noncompliance under 15 U.S. Code 1681n, which allows for {$1000.00} per violation, for each account listed without my expressed written consent.

I looked at my consumer reports and noticed accounts I never gave anyone permission to report. Consumer reporting agencies have assumed a vital role and have a responsibility to report consumer information to the best of their ability with maximum possible accuracy like the Fair Credit Reporting Act clearly states. I did not provide written consent to report them. ''

Issue: Trouble during payment process — 
Company: Selene Finance LP (CA)

My loan ( which has never had a single late payment ) was sold to Selene Finance earlier this year. In spring 2019 I made a {$5000.00} additional principal payment online in addition to paying a few days early for my next monthly payment. The auto payment feature ( counter to the next due date that posted online ) continued to take money from my account. This resulted in my mortgage paying a month early and occurred twice. The only help/advice I was given was to remove my auto pay and account information, wait for the two months to pass, then set autopay back up. I followed all of these steps and my XX/XX/XXXX payment posted but was immediately followed by a payment reversal. I received no phone call or email about this. I received a letter today, XX/XX/XXXX ( a Friday ), as my first and only notice the account is past due. No one is in the office and there is no ability to leave a message with either the main office or the customer service number. I logged on and paid the account in full, but have not paid the {$72.00} late fee that is also posted. I do not believe I should be held accountable for the late payment. This occurrence of events appears as though Selene Finance is setting me up to have a late payment post to my credit score.
