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

It is EQUIFAXs duty pursuant to the FCRA to be reporting correct and accurate information on my credit report and file, however they are NOT. EQUIFAX is reporting an inaccurate late payment for the XXXX XXXXXXXX XXXX account ending in XXXX. This includes a 30 day late payment posted in XX/XX/2023. This is incorrect and supposed to be reported as PAID AS AGREED. Furthermore, pursuant to 15 U.S.C. 1681a ( d ) ( 2 ) ( A ) ( i ), a consumer report does NOT contain information solely as to transactions or experiences between the consumer and the person making the report. A late payment constitutes a transaction. With that said, the reporting of the inaccurate late payments results in EQUIFAX violating my federally protected consumer rights. To add to this, I did NOT give EQUIFAX written instruction/permission to furnish these inaccurate late payments on my consumer report and file, violating 15 U.S.C. 1681b ( a ) ( 2 ). It is clear that EQUIFAX has violated my federally protected consumer rights under the FCRA and the inaccurate reporting is causing me and my reputation severe harm and discrimination.

Hello, my name is XXXX XXXX. 
I received a settlement and deposited the two checks from the settlement in my checking account. Was told that only 1 would be held for verification because it was {$5000.00}. The other was under that amount. Both checks were held. Also it shut my account down, debit card was deactivated and I could even Use the funds that was already in my account. The customer service representative are very rude and immediately told me the checks were fraud and I was going to have to pay it back When the checks weren't even cleared yet. They were still being processed. It was only 2 days of me depositing the checks. They are u professional, have no clue what to say or do when you call for help. 
Immediately the day after my account has been placed on hold with no resolution, no one can help elaborate on why my account is frozen and they told me they don't have to tell me why I can't access MY own money I deposited. 
Then I opened up a business account, never used my social security number only my business name, and this institution attached the business to my social security number when I never given them my social. Only my EIN number. So when i called to discuss why my personal account was on hold, the representative proceeds to discuss my business account. Which shouldn't even be attached to my social at all. Nor my name. Its a business account I also keep getting these overdraft fees with fees attached to to the overdraft fees. I haven't even used my business account for anything so how could i receive overdraft fees. 3 of them + 3 fees of {$30.00} for having 3 overdraft fees. My account is now - {$250.00} all for fees associated with my account
