I have the right to ensure that my private information is not shared without my consent. The Fair Credit Reporting Act and other laws protect my privacy and require consumer reporting agencies like Equifax and XXXX to exercise fairness, impartiality, and respect for my privacy. These agencies need my written instructions to furnish my information to financial institutions. However, I have not given my consent for them to share my information, and they have not informed me of my right to exercise my nondisclosure option. Additionally, they are reporting adverse information about my account without my permission, which is against the law. The agencies are also required to maintain reasonable procedures to avoid violations and limit the furnishing of consumer reports. I have the right to opt out of their reporting at any time.

Issue: Problem with a credit reporting company's investigation into an existing problem — Their investigation did not fix an error on your report
Company: EQUIFAX, INC. (NY)

For the past several months I have noted an increased amount of alerts from all three credit bureaus as well as incomplete accounts being listed as well. Some accounts are showing duplicate listings for the same exact debt and I had an account appear from 2006 which has long been resolved and is paid in full. When I reach out to Equifax, the representatives do not have adequate knowledge on the statute of limitations and could not explain why some listed accounts are incomplete and missing vital information. This is of great concern to me as I am in the process of repairing my credit as well as dealing with breaches in the sharing of my personal information. I am requesting this investigation as the credit bureaus should be following the same policies, protocols, and regulations as the general public is held accountable for.

I became aware of several accounts showing up on my credit report. I contacted the credit bureau Equifax and the bank/lenders that issued the accounts. I asked for verification information for these accounts like the original contract, statements for the account, and anything else that could be helpful to me. I was never provided any of this information ever despite the many requests I made. I have been requesting this information for about XXXX  years now. I have sent more than XXXX letters in the last XXXX  years requesting this information and requesting for these accounts that are not mine to be removed from my credit report. Equifax did finally remove XXXX of the accounts but there is still XXXX account on my credit report. This is even after I was told to submit an identity theft affidavit as well as a police report which I did a couple of years ago. This inaccurate information that is showing on my credit report has prevented me from being able to obtain certain employment, housing, insurance, among other things. I have attached my recent letter that I mailed to Equifax credit bureau with the intent to sue for a number of violations of the FCRA.

I am a hardworking individual has been diligently paying my accounts on time for the quite a long time. However, upon reviewing my credit report, I discover several instances of late payments recorded by these creditors. Perplexed by this discrepancy, I contacted these creditors to inquire about the inaccuracies. After discussing the matter with a customer service representative and the billing department, it becomes evident that there was a mutual agreement between me and these creditors to adjust the payment schedule due to unforeseen circumstances. Despite adhering to this adjusted schedule, the payments were mistakenly marked as late in the system. Understanding the gravity of the situation, these creditors swiftly acknowledge the error and assures me that the inaccurate late payments will be rectified. Additionally, they offer to provide written documentation of the agreed-upon payment schedule to prevent any future misunderstandings.
