Company: EQUIFAX, INC. (NJ)

I filed a dispute for incorrect information on my credit report. I received an email from the credit bureau stating that they are assuming the disputes are coming from a 3rd party. They in fact did not come from a 3rd party. l even called them to verify it was me and they still refused to process my disputes. I wasted money on mailing my disputes out. I sent personal information to verify my identity through mail, just for them to not thoroughly investigate.

Dear CFPB Represenative : : On or about XX/XX/XXXX, I opened an investigation into an inaccurate tradeline of a 30 day Late Pay on my Equifax, report by XXXXXXXX XXXX  ( XXXX XXXX ), and reported a number of violations of the Fair Credit Reporting Acting. I asked that this inaccurate tradeline be CORRECTED or DELETED immediately. 

Not only has this matter NOT been not corrected or deleted, IT HAS BEEN MADE WORSE by the credit bureau. 

Today, XX/XX/XXXX, they are reporting the tradeline from XX/XX/year> as 60 DAYS LATE, intensifying the damage to my reputation. 

How could I now be 60 days late, according to my Equifax credit report, when there is now not even a tradeline indicating that I was 30 days late ( which, per my previous claim, I wasn't ). 

This must be corrected to " Paid on Time '' IMMEDIATELY, as it is not only negatively impacting my reputation, but my ability to gain employment. 

Do I need to seek LEGAL REMEDIES against Equifax, the card issuer, First Progress, or both? I have included a copy of this tradeline from my XX/XX/XXXX credit report, as well as my credit report I downloaded on XX/XX/XXXX -- only a few days after I submitted my first claim. 

Let me you remind you that according to 15 USC 1681i 5, Credit Bureaus are expected to do the following : ( 5 ) Treatment of inaccurate or unverifiable information ( A ) In general If, after any reinvestigation under paragraph ( 1 ) of any information disputed by a consumer, an item of the information is found to be inaccurate or incomplete or can not be verified, the consumer reporting agency shall ( i ) promptly DELETE THAT ITEM OF INFORMATION from the file of the consumer, or modify that item of information, as appropriate, based on the results of the reinvestigation ; and ( ii ) promptly notify the furnisher of that information that the information has been modified or deleted from the file of the consumer. And according to 15 USC 1681i ( 7 ) they are expected to provide me with the following : ( 7 ) Description of reinvestigation procedure : A consumer reporting agency shall provide to a consumer a description referred to in paragraph ( 6 ) ( B ) ( iii ) by not later than 15 days after receiving a request from the consumer for that description. But they have NOT done this as well. and according to 15 USC 1681s-2 they are suppose to not furnish any information relating to a consumer to any consumer reporting agency if the person knows or has reasonable cause to believe that the information is inaccurate.

Issue: Incorrect information on your report — Account information incorrect
Company: VW Credit, Inc (GA)

I am writing to formally dispute the information being reported on my credit report concerning an account with VW Credit ( Account Number : XXXX ). I have noticed that this account has been marked as " charged off '' in XX/XX/XXXX, which is incorrect and adversely impacting my credit score. 

To provide context, the account in question pertains to a car lease that ended in XX/XX/XXXX. The final payment for this lease was made in XX/XX/XXXX, and the car was subsequently returned in XX/XX/XXXX. There were no outstanding payments or issues with the account at the time of the lease termination. 

I recently discovered that VW Credit has reported this account as " charged off '' in XX/XX/XXXX, which is inexplicable given that the account was settled and closed in XXXX. I have spoken to XXXX, a manager at VW XXXX XXXX, who confirmed that there is no apparent reason for this delayed and incorrect reporting. She advised me to file this dispute as she is not a credit specialist and unable to provide a detailed explanation for the discrepancy. 

According to the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ), information reported on a consumers credit report must be accurate and verifiable. The current status of my account as a charge-off is neither accurate nor verifiable, considering that the account was fully paid off and closed almost three years prior to this erroneous report. 

Therefore, I am requesting that VW Credit correct this error immediately by updating the account status to reflect that it was paid off in full as of XX/XX/XXXX, with no charge-off status. This adjustment is crucial to rectify the negative impact on my credit score and restore my ability to apply for new credit without undue hindrance. 

Please confirm receipt of this letter and inform me of the steps that will be taken to correct this error. If you require any further information or documentation from my end to expedite this process, please do not hesitate to contact me at XXXX. 

Thank you for your prompt attention to this matter. I look forward to your swift resolution of this issue.
