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

I hope this letter finds you well. I am writing to address a concerning discrepancy in my credit report regarding late payments on my account. Upon reviewing my report, I noticed that late payments were inaccurately listed, which has had a negative impact on my credit score. I contacted the company associated with this account, and they acknowledged that there was an error on their end. They assured me that they would update and correct my account to reflect the accurate payment history. They explained that there was a system glitch that caused the late payments to be incorrectly reported. 
I find it perplexing that your bureau continues to report these late payments when other credit bureaus have already corrected the status of the account. This raises questions about the verification process used by your bureau to ensure the accuracy of the information reported. I'd like the accounts be CORRECTED and UPDATED : XXXXXXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX

Company: EQUIFAX, INC. (CA)

I filed a dispute for incorrect information on my credit report. I received an email from the credit bureau stating that they are assuming the disputes are coming from a 3rd party. They in fact did not come from a 3rd party. l even called them to verify it was me and they still refused to process my disputes. I wasted money on mailing my disputes out. I sent personal information to verify my identity through mail, just for them to not thoroughly investigate.

I lodged a complaint with these Bureaus a month ago, but unfortunately, the inaccurate information on my report still remains. I haven't received any communication from the Bureaus, except for the notification that you sent stating that the company has responded to my complaint. How can I be certain that they have thoroughly checked the inaccuracies on my report? What methods did they employ to validate the accounts? This whole situation is incredibly frustrating! It's been more than 30 days since I filed a complaint with these Bureaus, and yet the disputed accounts have not been updated. If this continues, I will have no choice but to take legal action due to the immense stress this has caused me. Moreover, I am also concerned about the security of my personal data, as it was affected by the Equifax, XXXX, and XXXX data breach.

This company has violated FCRA XXXX23 ( a ) b ) by failing to mark this disputed account as disputed 605 ( c ) running if the period has also been violated as the date of last activity on this account is reporting. When it should reflect the last date a payment was made.

They have called me five times over the past month. At first I ignored the calls not knowing what it was about, and they never left a voicemail. At the third try, I answered to be asked where XXXX was. I told them they had the wrong number and they said they would put it through their system. 

Fast forward to today, I received another call and they asked for XXXX again. After asking them to confirm the number they had just called, they told me a number that was three digits off from my personal. I told them that I had already spoken with someone from the company regarding this exact thing and that I would be reporting to the FTC due to my privacy being breached again.

I am writing to formally address a serious matter concerning the unauthorized disclosure of my credit information. As an individual deeply impacted by my upbringing and surrounding environment, the safeguarding of my personal data is of utmost importance to me. My unique circumstances have instilled in me a strong awareness of privacy and the critical need for consent in sharing sensitive information. 

Under the provisions of the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ), specifically referenced under 15 U.S. Code 1681b - & quot ; Permissible purposes of consumer reports, & quot ; it is clear that consumer reporting agencies are obligated to operate within strict boundaries to protect individual privacy. This statute mandates that such agencies may only release consumer reports under certain conditions, chiefly requiring the explicit, written consent of the individual concerned. It has come to my attention that my credit information has been furnished by your agency without my authorization, in direct contravention of section 15 U.S. Code 1681b ( a ) ( 2 ). This section unequivocally requires my written approval prior to the dissemination of my credit report. The absence of my consent in this matter not only violates federal law but also disregards my personal rights to privacy and control over my financial information. 
Given this unauthorized action, I demand the prompt removal of all inaccurately reportedinformation from my consumer report. Should these issues remain unaddressed, I am prepared to seek reparation through legal channels, including but not limited to, initiating a claim for damages in small claims court.
