Issue: Incorrect information on your report — Account information incorrect
Company: EQUIFAX, INC. (LA)

My complaint doesn't exactly fit with the descriptions that are available, but I think it's valid. The complaint i have is around inaccurate information being released as part of my credit report. Specifically, when it comes to credit utilization. I fully understand that credit card companies have the right to lower credit limits but when that new number is reported to the credit reporting agencies it causes a cascade of inaccurate results. The key to note is that my utilization hasn't changed so when the credit companies ' lower limits they are in fact influencing the utilization score. Example If I have a card that had a {$10000.00} available credit and I used {$1000.00}, a year later the cc company decides for whatever reason to lower it to XXXX, I've gone from a utilization of 10 % to a utilization of 66 % but the argument stands I didn't utilize 66 %, the credit card company created this utilization and now the user has to deal with the consequences of inaccurate classification and reporting. Which typically lead to other creditors reviewing utilization and deciding they will lower available credit to similar levels, and it just keeps going. I've had this happen a couple of times, and I never fault the creditor it's within their right, but " my utilization '' needs to be the factual number of my use with the credit that I had available. Additionally, I already know Pay down your card to get your utilization percentage back, that still doesn't change the fact that my credit score can be impacted by arbitrary actions a creditor can take. It doesn't change the fact that my utilization score can be manipulated by the creditor and as such is not a true representation of my actual use.

Hello I made an online payment to payment to my Elan ( US Bank ) card. It was to a retired person, a significant amount {$2700.00} on XX/XX/XXXX. Elan then debited my account on XX/XX/XXXX ( shows each on my statement as hitting on XX/XX/XXXX. 

Elan did not adjust the monthly payment for payments already received. 

Now trying to get my $ back has become a series of misinformation, roadblocks, and a very poor supervisor/manager named XXXX. 

1. Oh it has to clear your account. It cleared on XX/XX/XXXX XXXX ( Elan ) failed to adjust the monthly withdrawal amount XXXX. It will take 14 days to get you your money 3. Wanted to set up a dispute and go to arbitration oh you have to get a lawyer to file for arbitration as a payment is not a transaction. What???????? Last time I looked right on the statement are all of my credit and debit transactions 4. They can do an expedited review if I either send in or fax a copy of my XXXX XXXX account statement showing that the transaction has cleared ( ummmmmm.. it is posted to the account, it has cleared- it been 5 days. 
5. They said I can only fax or mail in my statement they do t have email. Funny that a bank wouldnt have an email system. I do t have access to a fax machine.

XXXX XXXX is ignoring their obligations under 15 U.S. Code 1681s2. For account ending XXXX aka card number ending XXXX, XXXX XXXX decided to mark the account charged-off beginning XXXX XX/XX/XXXX, yet the account was alleged charged-off on XXXX XX/XX/XXXX. The Date of First Delinquency would thus be within the nexus of the XXXX XX/XX/XXXX. Yet, the data XXXX is supplying to XXXX indicates the account would continue on-record into XX/XX/XXXX. That date is beyond the 7-year period and indicates the date of first delinquency is reported on or around XX/XX/XXXX, instead of a date within 150 days BEFOR XX/XX/XXXX. Moreover, the same issues are evidenced in the data XXXX is reporting to Equifax, as Equifax has consistently received updates from XXXX, in which XXXX claims the Date of First Delinquency is XX/XX/XXXX. It should also be noted the XX/XX/XXXX date is NOT supported by the payment history furnished to the CRAs by XXXX, with both Equifax and XXXX showing the month of XX/XX/XXXX " paid on time ''. Thus, XXXX is supplying false/misleading/inaccurate information it knows, or has reasonable cause to believe is incorrect. In their response to { XXXX, XXXX and XXXX }, XXXX reerences the table supplied in response to XXXX, alleging the account is being reported as " accurate '' because it is consistent with the table of information provided. Yet, the table provided itself shows an alleged past-due payment that was thirty ( 30 ) days past-due in XX/XX/XXXX, and miraculously one-hundred twenty ( 120 ) days past-due for the month that followed, making a difference of ninety ( 90 ) days past-due over one ( 1 ) billing cycle.That payment history on its face is false/misleading/inaccurate. XXXX has engaged in acts and practices that are unfair, deceptive, and abusive and has sought to cover their XXXX by providing contradictory, misleading, inchoate statements in response to CFPB complaints. There is nothing lawful about their behavior and XXXX needs to take accountibility for their own incompetence instead of trying to justify incompetence and punsihing a person with a documented learning XXXX that has been afflicted with XXXX ( also XXXX ) during this entire ordeal. It would appear to be " XXXX. XXXX '' providing the BS in the XXXX XX/XX/XXXX response and then copying the same XXXX into the XXXX XX/XX/XXXX response. Each person touching the account during an " investigation '' has provided their own spin on XXXX which has been contradicted others.

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.

Ive noticed that several deviations from mandatory reporting standards therefore the data in my report can not be accurate and complete! With that said, I deny your allegations and I challenge you to provide proof that you have the right to report this incomplete negative information on my credit report. 

Per 15 U.S.C 1681e Whenever a consumer reporting agency prepares a consumer report it shall follow reasonable procedures to assure maximum possible accuracy of the information concerning the individual about whom the report relates.

According to 12 CFR Part 1022 ( Regulation V ) requires furnishers to : Furnish information concerning accounts or other relationships with a consumer that has integrity.

Furnish information about accounts or other relationships with a consumer that is accurate.

C - Conduct reasonable investigations of consumer disputes According to CRRG, in order to make a lawful report, you must follow the Metro 2 compliance standards.

Also as stated in the CRRG Any Deviation From These Standards Jeopardizes The Integrity of The Data. This means that any mistakes in reporting claims can make the information less accurate and it affects the accuracy of any federally regulated reports.

Therefore, I am invoking my rights to challenge these inaccurate and non-compliant items. Neglecting my demand will only prove that you DO NOT care about my rights as a consumer. Its NOT FAIR for you to report information that isnt confirmed to be ethical and meets the standards of certified reporting. Again, I am challenging these claims and asking for proof of the proper reporting standards.

You are violating my rights! I have listed the concerns about your reporting in this document. It's not complete and does not meet my standards according to law, you must certify all aspects of required FCRA/ Metro 2 compliance which is done truthfully, correctly ( in a timely manner ), completely AND accurately as well - or else I would have to escalate these issues to the CFPB , FTC and my Attorney General.
