Company: EQUIFAX, INC. (NY)

Equifax is in the regular business of assuming the role of a credit reporting agency and in the regular business of collecting the personal information of consumers. Equifax is bound by the Fair Credit Reporting Act, the Privacy Act of 1974 and state laws requiring the safekeeping of the personal information of consumers. However, in XX/XX/XXXX, Equifax became aware of a data breach where over XXXX XXXX consumers ' information was stolen by unknown perpetrators, of which I was affected. Equifax did not adequately inform me that my information was stolen. It wasn't until XXXX that I learned of an extended claims period. Between XXXX to present, Equifax has failed to report accurate information on my credit report. I have been denied credit no less than 10 times due to Equifax misreporting my personal credit information. I have had fraudulent accounts reporting on my credit report. I have also suffered the same through Equifax affiliate credit agencies by being denied apartment leases, employment, higher car loan rates, and denied other open ended consumer credit accounts. I still have inaccurate information reporting on my credit report that Equifax refuses to delete despite numerous complaints made by me to the CFPB. Equifax consistently and negligently continues to violate my federally protected rights and state rights as a XXXX  resident. Equifax should not be allowed to do business in the US. I have spent and lost hundreds of thousands of dollars trying to repair my credit, protect my personal information and credit, and prevent my information from being stolen in the future.

Company: TRANSUNION INTERMEDIATE HOLDINGS, INC. (FL)

The following was sent to XXXX and they did not address the issues listed in their response to my request : Dear Sir/Madam : I am writing once again to make you aware of a variety of errors that have impacted my ability to secure credit, in addition to the pain and anguish these errors have had on my emotional well-being. 

As of XX/XX/XXXX, the following errors and omissions from XXXX have had a negative effect on my credit profile : 1.  The report shows that I have recently missed a payment or had a derogatory indicator reported. I have had neither. I am requesting proof of this including the reporting furnisher of this derogatory report. 
2. The report shows that I have few accounts that are in good standing. All of my current accounts are in good standing. All of my credit cards are paid in full each month and both my mortgage and auto payments are paid on time and in full. 
3. The report claims I have a short credit history. This is not accurate since my XXXX  XXXX XXXX credit card account ending in XXXX was established in XX/XX/XXXX and most of my credit cards many years in age. 
4. The report claims I have too many credit accounts with balances. This is not accurate as I do not carry credit card balances on any of the credit cards or credit lines - all paid in full monthly. The only balances carried are my mortgage and auto loan balance. 

I am requesting one final time for XXXX to correct this error. If necessary, I look forward to proving the above in small claims court. 

I have enclosed a copy of my license, a utility bill, a copy of the credit report showing the errors.

The companies response to my previous complaint is completely innacurate. And very irrelevant. They state my extension is for the month of XX/XX/XXXX. Yet I have a signed agreement with them for the month of XXXX. 

also they state that I never provided proof that my vehicle failed inspection. That is innacurate. My vehicle passed inspection from XXXX XXXX as stated in their reply. But it is believed that someone in the shop was paid off to put a sticker on this truck. On the next business day proceeding the passing inspection. I brought it to be re inspected and it failed both safty and emissions AGAIN for the SAME ORIGINAL ISSUES also in their report they mentioned my vehicle doesnt qualify under the lemon law.

Issue: Attempts to collect debt not owed — Debt is not yours
Company: HW Holding, Inc (LA)

Hunter Warfield is currently reporting on my XXXX, XXXX XXXX XXXX consumer reporting bureaus that I owe their company, {$3300.00}. However, after reviewing my records, I am unable to find any documentation of any contractual relationship between Hunter Warfield & myself, legally listing Hunter Warfield as a person/company entitled to enforce a commercial claim against me. On XX/XX/2023 ( document enclosed ) I mailed & faxed a letter to Hunter Warfield. It was NOT a request for verification or validation. This letter was a demand for proof of contract to substantiate Hunter Warfields claim to XXXX, XXXX & XXXX that I am indeed the correct person that owes {$3300.00}. Hunter Warfield responded back by mail with computer generated documents. Some documents were illegible ( per my attorney, & attached ), yet no document had my signature to substantiate their claim. Nevertheless, no document was notarized through the presence of a notary public, who duly swears the copy made ( and sent to me ) is in fact a copy of the original paper contract in question. I corresponded back by mail and fax on XX/XX/2023 ( document enclosed ) and Hunter Warfield has ignored my legal demand for information. Hunter Warfield 's documentation provided is misleading. Hunter Warfield has yet to provide a underlying credit agreement, no proof of ownership and provided no legal basis to report " late payments '' or any information to consumer reporting agencies. As a ramification due to this fraudulent account, I was discriminated against & denied my right to be extended credit. Nevertheless, I have suffered emotional and mental stress because of this false and negative credit bureau reporting.

Company: WELLS FARGO & COMPANY (CA)

I have a joint account with my son. On XX/XX/XXXX he made a mobile deposit for {$820.00}. He thought the deposit did not go through accurately so he took the check to the ATM and deposited the same check. Wells Fargo decided to reject both transactions. The bank then sent a letter and copy of the check back to me. On XX/XX/XXXX I took the copy of the check back to the bank. The teller and branch manager proceeded to tell me that the check was valid and thus, they deposited the check. Then on XX/XX/XXXX, Wells Fargo rejected the deposit again. I was told I had to go back to the maker to get a new check. However, the maker claims that Wells Fargo cashed the check and thus will not provide a new check. Consequently, I am still out {$820.00} and Wells Fargo refuses to return my money. What recourse do I have? Clearly Wells Fargo stills has my money but refuses to reimburse me.

Issue: Dealing with your lender or servicer — Trouble with how payments are being handled
Company: AES/PHEAA (WI)

Similar issue to previous complaint # XXXX submitted in XX/XX/2017. After coming to an agreement to correct Fed Loan Servicing 's error in processing my student loan repayment, they have once again sought to increase my repayment step-up by more than 89 %, which is completely unacceptable. I contacted the Fed Loan Servicing office indicating that I've had this issue in the past and that I would not diverge from the original agreement I signed, which called for increases of approximately 20 % every two years. Their response was to revise my repayment plan to an increase by more than 70 %. As you can imagine, constantly having to deal with this organization is unwarranted and unacceptable. Since Fed Loan Servicing has shown a tendency to ignore the needs of their student borrowers, I am once again leaning on the CFPB for assistance. I have also indicated to them I will increase my monthly payment by approximately 20 %, as agreed previously, going forward. I also indicated I will file suit if Fed Loan Servicing attempts to garnish or other means of collecting an inappropriate amount of my loan balance.

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

XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX, is falsly reporting that we have an open account with an outstanding mortgage balance of {$580000.00}. XXXX sold our loan to a different creditor in XXXX XXXX XXXX The only amount in dispute is XXXX payment we allegedly owe XXXX of {$4500.00}. We maintain we do not owe this money and do not understand how they can legally report that we have an open account with them and an outstanding mortgage balance. Due to their fraudulent reporting of a second mortgage, our debt to income ratio has doubled so even though we only own XXXX real property with an outstanding balance of {$580000.00} to XXXX XXXX, our credit is reporting we owe double that amount due to XXXX reporting we owe them {$580000.00}. If the disputed amount is only {$4500.00}, they should report only that amount as an outstanding balance. This has had detrimental consequences as we are unable to apply for loans or move forward with any business opportunities. We have reported this information multiple times to the credit Bureaus and they insist that the information is verified and accurate. I have proof that it is inaccurate. I have provided that proof. Bottom line, if XXXX is saying we owe them only {$4500.00} for the month of XXXX, why are they repeatedly reporting to the credit bureaus that we owe them {$580000.00} and that we have missed XXXX and XXXX payments? They have themselves acknowledged in an email that if we pay the XXXX payment amount that they will close our mortgage account and remove it from the credit report but that is in essence holding us hostage as it appears as though we are currently in debt {$1.00} XXXX dollars when in reality we are only in debt {$600000.00}.
