Issue: Improper use of your report — Reporting company used your report improperly
Company: EQUIFAX, INC. (GA)

I am outraged that your company continues to maintain a dismissed ( filed ) bankruptcy as confirmed on my credit report. This unconfirmed, unverified, and dismissed ( filed ) bankruptcy has stopped me from obtaining credit. I know for a fact your company receives information on bankruptcy from a third party system known as a XXXX XXXX. XXXX XXXX XXXX is inaccurate and incomplete since the XXXX XXXX does not provide complete social security numbers as that would be against the Fair Credit Reporting Act and Privacy Laws. Furthermore, I have been in contact with the county courthouse and they also assured me they do not report full social security numbers to thirty parties or make social security numbers public record. Even though it is your company 's policy to keep reporting a bankruptcy that is filed, dismissed, or adjudicated for 10 years, the Fair Credit Reporting Act mentions nothing in Section 1681 ( c ) relating to bankruptcy about dismissals or filings. The law is very clear and states from the date of adjudication or date of order of relief. 
Any case, whether it be civil or otherwise, once dismissed it no longer exists in the eyes of the law. This case filed may never have actually been adjudicated. You have no right to maintain information which the government has deemed non-existent. It is only fair that in accordance with section 1618 ( a ) ( 5 ) of the Fair Credit Reporting Act you delete this from my credit report and send me an updated copy.

Considering this does not require an investigation, I would appreciate an updated copy of my credit report showing no bankruptcy within two weeks from the date you receive this letter.

I am XXXX XXXX didn't give the right to pull my consumer report. There isn't any written permission from me. I want the inquiries deleted from my consumer report. 
So, if you said I gave you permission, but I am asking, you know, for the document, where 15 USC 16 ad one b two says that I gave you that written permission and you can not provide a document. That equals identity theft.

'' I demand it be removed from my credit account immediately. I do prefer a cash check please.

**Subject : Complaint Regarding Misrepresentation of Account Status and False Reporting** Dear CFPB, I am writing to file a formal complaint against TRANSUNION AND XXXX for falsely reporting to the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau ( CFPB ) that corrections were made to my credit account, which continued to incorrectly report as " late. '' Despite assurances provided to the CFPB and myself that the inaccuracies in my credit report had been corrected, upon reviewing my account on XX/XX/XXXX, I discovered that no such corrections had been made. The account in question is still reporting as late, which is inconsistent with the information provided to the CFPB. 

This misrepresentation has not only misled the CFPB but has also caused significant and ongoing harm to my credit score, thereby affecting my financial integrity and ability to secure financial services. The failure to update and correct the reporting as claimed has undermined my trust in the reporting process and has continued to impact me negatively. 

I urgently request a thorough re-investigation of this matter and immediate correction of my credit report. Additionally, I seek transparency regarding the communication that led to the erroneous report to the CFPB. 

Please confirm receipt of this complaint and provide a timeline for the resolution. I am prepared to provide further documentation as needed to assist in resolving this issue promptly. 

Thank you for your attention to this serious matter. I look forward to your swift response and resolution.

This interest should be forgiven because it is not my problem that they are understaffed and cant process my account.

I previously sent a letter to address the errors and unknown items on my credit report, but unfortunately, I have not received a response even after 30 days. It seems like my disputes are being overlooked and I feel taken advantage of. As per Section 611 ( a ), if these items are not investigated within 30 days, they should be promptly removed from my credit report. Since the deadline has passed, I expect these accounts to be updated without delay. If not, I may have to take legal action due to the stress this situation has caused me. Moreover, my information was impacted by the Equifax, XXXX, and XXXX data breach, which raises concerns about the security of my personal data.

Discover closed out CFPB complaints XXXX and XXXX claiming they are duplicates of CFPB complaint XXXX.

I am an indiidual with a XXXX  XXXX  XXXX. Given the strange payment histories reported for the months leading up to an alleged charge-off I have been unable to understand what exactly happened with this account. I have never been provided with a table that shows the number of days past-due alleged for the months within the XXXX  of 150 days of alleged charge-off, and inspecting my credit reports generating the CRAs has not been of help because the data reported has included months with NO DATA followed by an alleged late payment that is less than the number of days at which Discover charges-off accounts it alleges are seriously delinquent.

On my first complaint to the three credit bureaus XXXX, Equifax and XXXX, I requested the method of verification for an account that is being reported on my credit report with the name of XXXX XXXX. I sent the credit bureaus a method of verification letter and they never provided me with anything, so I then sent the credit bureaus a second method of verification letter telling them that my first letter was about me asking them for the method of verification for that specific account and still they have not provided me with anything but they still tell me that the account was verified. I know that by law I have a right to ask for the method of verification for an account and the credit bureaus must provide the consumer with this information and I also know that by law and according to what the fcra says, credit bureaus have 15 days to provide the method of verification to the consumer. I want the account XXXX XXXX deleted from my credit report because the credit bureaus failed to provide me with the method of verification in 15 days.
