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

I called XXXX XXXX on XX/XX/XXXX around XXXX pm to get a payment extension on my XXXX account credit cards and the rep assured me that I wouldn't get any late payments since I called before my next due date and that my account is in good standing and that no derogatory marks should report to my credit report. XXXX XXXX extended payment on this account to the XXXX and XXXX of XXXX to prevent any late reporting to my consumer credit report and the rep once again assured to me that my account is in good standing. But on XX/XX/XXXX a 30 day late payment was reported inaccurately to my Equifax consumer report. 

Under the Fair Credit Reporting Act, as outlined in 15 USC 1681, it's explicitly mandated that consumer reporting agencies like Equifax, XXXX, and XXXX must handle their responsibilities with fairness, impartiality, and a profound respect for consumer privacy. As a consumer, I have an inherent right to safeguard my private information, backed by 15 USC 6801, which underscores the obligation of financial institutions to uphold customer privacy and protect their nonpublic personal information. 

The entities providing information to credit agencies, known as " Furnishers, '' fall under this definition of financial institutions. According to 15 USC 1681, Section 604 ( a ), any consumer report furnished by these agencies should strictly adhere to the written instructions of the concerned consumer. I assert that Equifax, XXXX, and XXXX the Furnishers of information to credit agencies have no right or written consent from me to furnish my information. All forms of consent, be it verbal, non-verbal, written, or implied, are hereby revoked. 
Moreover, under 15 USC 6802 ( b ) ( c ), financial institutions can not disclose nonpublic personal information to THIRD parties unless consumers are given an explanation of how to exercise their nondisclosure option. The failure to inform me of this right by the Furnishers is a notable omission. Additionally, according to 15 USC 1681C ( a ) ( 5 ), consumer reporting agencies are prohibited from including adverse information without proper authorization. This inclusion, without my consent, violates the law.

Furthermore, as per 15 U.S. Code 1681s2 ( A ) ( 1 ), agencies are prohibited from furnishing inaccurate consumer information knowingly. Equifax, XXXX, and XXXX  should maintain reasonable procedures, as mandated by 15 U.S. Code 1681e, to prevent violations and limit the furnishing of consumer reports. reporting transaction history is illegal per this code Lastly, 15 USC 1681 ( c ) states no adverse items besides the conviction of CRIMES should be on the consumer credit profile and any item that is derogatory mark is not allowed into the consumer reports. This is a violation and anything added to the consumer report without written consent could be considered identity theft according to 12 CFR 1022.3.

Equifax continues to report inaccurate information onto my consumer report causing me significant harm and damages. The account listed as XXXX is reporting has a Collection? Charge off when in fact no consumer can be in default in an open ended installment plan. Furthermore Equifax makes a financial gain from the solicitation of my nonpublic information released by XXXX. My transaction history with XXXX should not be released to the public in such a manner to cause me harm. Equifax is required by federal law to report accurate information. Any credit account that has a balance over a {$1.00} the credit belongs to the consumer so how is Equifax reporting this account has collection/charge off? Furthermore Equifax is securitizing my information and has not reported this fact to the IRS which is tax invasion. I am requesting that Equifax turn over all records for the profit of this account.

Company: SELECT PORTFOLIO SERVICING, INC. (CA)

I am an elder person with XXXX XXXX XXXX, and i wor very hard to have a sweet home, due to XXXX XXXX i had a very hard situation and my expenses increased and my incomes decreased, so for that reason a was unable to pay several bills, including my mortgage, i spent all my business and personal savings to try to pay my medical and personal bills. 
Now i am back to continue working i am trying to resolve my mortgage payments, i have been trying to get loans to pay the past due amount and i get some pre-approvals which i have sent it to my lender but at the last time they do not qualify me for the loan so i could not make the payment, then when i spent all my resources to pay the full past due amount, i tried to apply for an option with my lender SPS to at least start with my payments and find a solution for the past due amounts, i spoke with XXXX back on XX/XX/XXXX, she told me my application was denied but they have an special XXXX and that i might qualify for it, she made a financial interview and i told her i was able even to pay more than my monthly payment just to resolve that debt, she told me as this is an special XXXX it takes like 7 days for an update. Then i call on XX/XX/XXXX, and spoke with someone from Ombudsman and he told me i was approved with the XXXX and provided me the new terms and sent a copy of the new terms. Then i called on XX/XX/XXXX to accept the terms and continue with my payments on XX/XX/XXXX and a representative told me they are not going to accept to continue with the XXXX as there is a sale date on XX/XX/2023. Eventhough on their terms says they can postpone when there are 34 days before the sale date and in that day there was 39 days. Then they told me that they will not proceed cause i can not afford cause i told them that, they have recorded calls and they can listen the calls cause i NEVER said i can not afford it, and i showed them my Bank Statement where it shows i can do it. Then they told me they can not proceed as the sale date has been postponed twice in the past. But this is not a postponement at the end as i will start with my payments on XX/XX/2023. We submited a request to continue with the XXXX as all the reasons they gave us are not valid, and i called on XX/XX/XXXX to Ombudsman and i spoke with XXXX, he told the request was denied. I requested a Sup to resolve this situation and they just did not want to take my call. 
I give you permission to share my situation with everyone until this gets resolved. It does not make sense they approved me and then they just tell me they can not proceed with something they approved, like, why did you approve me then?

I submitted a dispute by mail via certified mail on XX/XX/XXXX to XXXX and Equifax for verification of a student loan account that appears to have inaccurate information on my credit reports. I asked XXXX and Equifax to do a reasonable investigation in to this account to ensure maximum possible accuracy according to 15 USC 1681 E ( b ). I received my dispute results from both Equifax and XXXX and the information still is inaccurate. They both have failed to put who the account was transferred to which is XXXX. XXXX is reporting the account wrong because my payment is current and on time in XXXX of XXXX but then in XXXX of XXXX it shows that I am 90 days late on the account. There is no 60 days late or 30 days late so it shows that the account was current in XXXX then in XXXX its 90 days late that is impossible. This is wrong and inaccurate and XXXX fails to do a reasonable investigation which is a violation of my rights. Equifax is reporting the account wrong because they say my date of first delinquency was in XXXX of XXXX but I have proof that I made on time payments of XXXX of XXXX and Equifax did not provide any account history to show how much the account was delinquent in XXXX of XXXX it just starts from XXXX of XXXX ( 90 days late ) to XXXX of XXXX ( 120 days late ). There is no 30 day or 60 day late reporting and this is wrong. Equifax also is reporting a incorrect account number XXXX which is not even the correct account number for this student loan account I have evidence to prove that this account number is incorrect. This is a direct violation of my rights under 15USC 1681 E ( b )
