Company: EQUIFAX, INC. (VA)

I am writing to file a formal complaint against Equifax Information Services, LLC concerning their reporting of unverified, unauthorized, and inaccurate information on my credit report. While I appreciate Equifax 's cooperation in updating incorrect information such as names and addresses, I believe that Equifax is still in violation of the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ) by reporting unverified and unauthorized information. 

My complaints against Equifax are as follows : Reporting Unverified Information : Equifax has reported information on my credit report that has not been verified by me, including accounts from XXXX XXXX XXXX, XXXX XXXX, and XXXX XXXX. I have not validated or given permission for Equifax to include this information on my report. The unauthorized inclusion of such information goes against the FCRA, which stipulates that consumer reporting agencies can only report information with the consent of the consumer. 

Violation of My Right to Control My Credit Report : My rights as a consumer include having control over the information on my credit report. By including unauthorized information, Equifax is infringing on my ability to maintain accurate and truthful credit information. 

I kindly request that Equifax addresses these issues by ensuring that they only report verified and authorized information in accordance with the law. I also request that Equifax removes the unauthorized and unverified information from my credit report immediately and remains vigilant in complying with the FCRA and related consumer protection laws. 

In support of my complaint, I cite the relevant legal provisions and a court case : FCRA Section 1681b ( f ) outlines the responsibilities of consumer reporting agencies regarding the use and reporting of consumer information. 

The case of Smith v. Equifax Information Services LLC, 2017 WL 2832941 ( S.D. Fla. 2017 ), emphasizes the importance of accurate credit reporting and the responsibility of credit reporting agencies to ensure that information is both accurate and verifiable.

I found out the creditor didn't give the required 21-day notice with a statement. This would've let me pay on time and avoid late fees. This error made it seem like I didn't pay when I should have, which is the creditor 's mistake.

As a consumer, I am entitled by law to a credit report that is XXXX  % accurate. I have been requesting that the credit reporting agencies review my disputes and update my reports accordingly.

Company: LAKEVIEW LOAN SERVICING, LLC (CA)

My mortgage company transferred my loan to another lender and because of the transition they took out a payment for my PMI Insurance ( for XX/XX/XXXX ) in XX/XX/XXXX. The amount is {$200.00}. In the mist of all this, I refinanced my home through another lender. They paid off the loan XX/XX/2016. There is an escrow refund owed to me that does n't include the {$200.00} ( PMI Insurance ) they are suppose to give me for XX/XX/XXXX. I called multiple times and they said the PMI was due XX/XX/XXXX therefore they will not refund me the amount. Why would I pay PMI Insurance for a loan I do not have with them? Its like selling your car and still making the car insurance payment. I would like my {$200.00} refunded for XX/XX/XXXX. They had no right to take that money out a month in advance.

It's based on accurate info, and I'm not trying to deceive or manipulate the situation.

It also governs creditors, collection agencies and other businesses that furnish information ( furnishers ) to the CRAs. The FCRA provides victims of identity theft with numerous rights. Consumers can bring legal claims against the CRAs and furnishers if they fail to comply with the FCRA. 
The most important right is the blocking of information on a credit report that resulted from identity theft. A CRA must block the reporting of any fraudulent information within four business days of receiving a dispute from a consumer that contains : Identification of the fraudulent information ; A copy of an identity theft report ( an identity theft report is an official, valid report filed by the consumer with a federal, state or local law enforcement agency including the post office ) ; A statement by the consumer that the information is not related to any transaction by the consumer ; and Appropriate proof of identity. 
The CRA must notify the furnisher of the information that it has blocked the information as fraudulent. The CRA will also notify the two other national CRAs that it has blocked the information. The consumer should receive a letter from the CRA stating that the information has been blocked. 
If the consumer sends the CRA the required materials and the CRA does not block the disputed information within four days, the consumer can bring a legal claim against the CRA.
