Product: Credit reporting, credit repair services, or other personal consumer reports — Credit reporting
Issue: Incorrect information on your report — Personal information incorrect
Company: EQUIFAX, INC. (MS)

This company XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX is reporting inaccurate information to my Credit Bureaus ( XXXX, Equifax, XXXX ). I have contacted the lender on several occasions asking them to stop reporting inaccurate information to those bureaus. They hardly ever want to speak to me to resolve these issue. The lender has the wrong address and is constantly reporting inaccurate information which is a violation under the rules of the Fair Credit Reporting Act. Consumer reporting agencies must correct or delete inaccurate, incomplete, or unverifiable information. Inaccurate, incomplete or unverifiable information must be removed or corrected, usually within 30 days. I have tried to dispute this auto loan from my credit report several times but the lender is constantly reporting inaccurate information to my Credit Bureaus. Since the auto loan lender had inaccurate address information, this means that I never received any documentations in regards to an auto loan. This must be removed from my Credit Report for it is damaging my credit score.
