Issue: Incorrect information on your report — Old information reappears or never goes away
Company: EQUIFAX, INC. (NY)

Complaint XXXX The inquiries below were made without my permission or knowledge, and I believe they are negatively impacting my credit score. This is the list of the inquiries that I am disputing : Inquiry by XXXX XXXX on XX/XX/2023 - EQUIFAX Inquiry by XXXX XXXX on XXXX XXXX- EQUIFAX I have made several attempts to contact the companies responsible for these inquiries, but they have been unresponsive and have not provided me with any information about why they made the inquiries or whether they have any legitimate reason for doing so. I have also tried to dispute these inquiries with the credit reporting agencies, but they have not been able to provide me with a satisfactory explanation for why these inquiries remain on my credit report. I believe that these inquiries are unjustified and have no legitimate reason for being on my credit report. They have caused me significant stress and financial hardship, as they have affected my ability to obtain credit and have lowered my credit score. I am therefore requesting that the CFPB investigate this matter and take action to remove these inquiries from my credit report. I believe that this action is necessary to protect my rights and ensure that my credit report accurately reflects my creditworthiness.

Company: EQUIFAX, INC. (IN)

In XX/XX/2024, I applied for a modification to my mortgage with XXXX XXXX. My business had experienced a fire and insurance was taking longer than expected to pay on the loss of use claim on my policy. 

When my single point of contact reached out to discuss my request and to tell me that I was approved for a partial claim, I was promised that my credit report would be updated to reflect no missed payments. After all, I had done my part before I was late and XXXX was taking 60 days to process the claims. At that time I was also advised NOT to make any payments to my mortgage, even if I had the means to, as it would negatively impact my ability to get a loan modification and I would have to start the process all over. 

I took the advice of my single point of contact thinking this was the protocol for the loan modification, per XXXX  policies, and trusted that my credit report would be noted as such. It was not. When I was later told that I was approved for the trial period and that I needed to make XXXX payments in order to be granted a modification, I was informed that the advisor was wrong. That if I couldve made the payments, I should have and that XXXX  would not update my credit report once the trial and subsequent modification were completed. I was ill-advised by my single point of contact. 

As a result, my scores have dropped over XXXX points and with a 60 day late on my mortgage, I am unable to obtain any financing and also unable to get a job in my field as a mortgage underwriter. 

I made a formal request to XXXX via fax, which they confirmed theyd received, to review the phone calls and please update the reporting as I was taking the advice of my single point of contact who made it seem as though making a payment wasnt an option, at all. XXXX denied my request. I then requested copies of the recordings from the phone calls. It has been 10 days and my request has not been acknowledged

I reviewed my Consumer Reports and noticed that I had several late payments on some accounts in which, due to COVID 19 and an accident that my husband had, who is the one who makes the payments because he is the one who works and I notified all of this in the same way, we were also notified. difficult to make payments up to date. Therefore I need help since consumer reporting agencies have assumed a vital role and have the responsibility of reporting consumer information to the best of their ability with maximum accuracy. I am no longer late on the XXXX XXXX account ( XXXX ) Investigate and provide statements showing that these payments were late. If proof can not be provided, demand that these payments be updated so that I no longer have a negative report on my credit report. I appreciate anything you can do about it. Thank you.

My accounts was never late! I have had exceptional payment history with XXXX  XXXX and all payments were placed on XXXX. This late payment that is reporting is a result on a systematic error on their end processing my payment. This was clearly a billing error made my the company and is not a reflection of my payment experience which violates USC Code 1681eb. This error has caused severe hard to my reputation, my character, my mode of living and to my family! I demand the late payment reported to be removed/updated. They are not in compliance with the following law. 15 USC 1666b and its requirements set the standards and the guidance for a creditor to treat a payment as late, yet they are reporting a payment as late and they did not comply with the law! 15 USC 1666b ( a ) Time to make payments A creditor may not treat a payment on a credit card account under an open end consumer credit plan as late for any purpose, unless the creditor has adopted reasonable procedures designed to ensure that each periodic statement including the information required by section 1637 ( b ) of this title is mailed or delivered to the consumer not later than 21 days before the payment due date. I have requested proof that this information was mailed or delivered 21 days before the payment due date and this information was requested in good faith pursuant rule 1002 and It was never provided. This is unfair, illegal, fraudulent, and not equitable to me as a consumer!

I am formally contesting and requesting the expeditious removal of fraudulent accounts from my credit report. This dispute stems from a case of identity theft, for which I have filed a formal report with the Federal Trade Commission. Furthermore, I have engaged with the bank associated with the fraudulent accounts. The companies have acknowledged the legitimacy of the identity theft report and have identified a potential system glitch that has impeded access to the records. They have assured me of the prompt removal of the fraudulent accounts, which have erroneously remained on my report for over XXXX years. However, these fraudulent accounts persist on my report under your bureau, and I am curious about the verification process you have undertaken. XXXX and XXXX credit bureaus have ceased reporting this fraudulent accounts since the submission of the requisite documents.
