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

Last week, I noticed a duplicate bogus account on my Equifax report, which is being reported to lenders and various credit reporting tools ( e.g., XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX 

I have spent numerous hours trying to resolve this issue, but Equifax has refused to help, claiming it is not their problem. After investigating further, I discovered that the incorrect information is being reported to XXXX XXXXXXXX XXXX, and possibly many lenders. 

My report includes a closed, old account from XXXX XXXX, which was paid off when my husband wrecked the car. Despite numerous attempts to resolve this with Equifax, I found that they are still reporting the bogus account. Moreover, they are reporting it as two accounts to other agencies like XXXX XXXX and XXXX. 

The attached documents show that Equifax is reporting two bogus accounts and duplicating the same account to XXXX XXXXXXXX XXXX, and an unknown number of lenders. This is a violation of the FCRA. Despite my efforts, Equifax knowingly continues to report this incorrect information. If they do not correct it, I will have to pursue legal action against Equifax.

Dear Consumer Financial Protection Bureau, I am writing to formally dispute certain information on my credit report based on my rights under the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ). The specific sections I am referencing include : 15 USC 1681 Section 602 - This section establishes my right to privacy. The information being reported violates this right as it inaccurately represents my financial behaviors.

15 USC 1681 Section 604 - According to this section, a consumer reporting agency may not furnish a report without my written instruction. I have not provided such instruction for the items I am disputing. 

15 USC 1666B - This section states that a creditor may not treat a payment on a credit card account under an open-end consumer credit report for any reason. The items I am disputing seem to violate this provision. 

The following items on my credit report are inaccurate and need to be addressed : XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX I ask that they be corrected on my credit report. If these items are verified, I request written documentation that confirms their accuracy. 

Thank you for your attention to this serious matter. I trust that the CFPB will ensure my rights under the FCRA are upheld and that this dispute will be handled with the urgency and seriousness it deserves.

I am writing to urgently address ongoing inaccuracies in my credit report. Despite multiple attempts to rectify these issues through dispute letters, I am dismayed to find that my credit report continues to contain errors that are in direct violation of the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ). 

As per the FCRA, it is imperative that all information on my credit report is 100 % accurate. However, after reviewing the relevant sections of the FCRA, specifically 15 U.S Code 1681e ( b ) and 15 U.S. Code 1681i ( 5 ), it is evident that several accounts are not reporting information accurately. 

Attached, you will find copies of all dispute letters previously sent for your reference. This serves as my final warning before considering further action to address these inaccuracies. 

I urge you to take immediate steps to rectify these errors and ensure that my credit report reflects accurate information in compliance with federal law.

I did not approve these transactions to be included in my consumer report, neither in writing nor verbally. Therefore, I formally request that these accounts be blocked and removed from my record. This is not a mistake or a misrepresentation. These transactions were included without my explicit consent or instruction. 

I am stressing this to highlight the seriousness of my request. It is based on accurate information, and I am not attempting to deceive or manipulate the situation in any way. My intent is solely to ensure that my consumer report reflects only those transactions that I have authorized. I am committed to maintaining the integrity of my financial records and ensuring that they are accurate and truthful. My request is genuine and aimed at correcting an unauthorized inclusion, not at exploiting any system or misleading any party involved.

XXXX XXXX XXXX Account # XXXX. I paid this account in full on XX/XX/2024, and made all payments on or before my due date. In XX/XX/2024, I received an Equifax credit monitoring alert that this account was reporting 60 days late for the month of XX/XX/2024. Upon a detailed review of my XXXX and XXXX credit reports I noticed that this account was reporting 30 days late for the month of XX/XX/2024. This account is reporting inaccurately. All payment were made on time. In fact, I paid the full balance prior to the contractual terms. My XX/XX/2024 payment was made on XX/XX/2024. My payments were auto drafted on a monthly basis. 

On XX/XX/2024, I spoke to a XXXXXXXX XXXX representative over the phone to dispute the last payment remarks on my credit report. He identified as " XXXX '' and he informed me that owed {$170.00}. He was unable to explain what the charges were for. However, he told me that once I paid this amount this derogatory information would be deleted from all three major credit reports. The balance was updated to XXXX  and the account now is closed. However, they did not correct the payment for XX/XX/2024 as paid as agreed. Still showing late. I feel deceived and taken advantage of. I fulfilled my contractual obligation ahead of time and this credit is penalizing me for it. I have a recording of the conversation with XXXX and bank statements to prove my on-time payments.

I know there must be someone using my identity. I was unaware of this until I tried to open a phone line at a local XXXX in XXXX. They were unable to verify me. I was asked a series of questions which I know were answered correctly. After this denial, I looked into my full report. This is when I discovered the incorrect information. I had been receiving unsolicited messages for a while now. I'm certain it is in correlation to the notification that my personal information including my social had been compromised in an Equifax XXXX XXXX some time before. There are accounts reporting to my credit that I've never authorized. I see addresses on my credit report in states I've never visited or lived. Furthermore, my cell phone and email have been receiving hundreds of unsolicited messages from subscriptions and memberships with companies I do not recognize at all. Please investigate and delete all of the inaccurate I report.
