Company: Affirm Holdings, Inc
State: MD

Complaint narrative:
In late XXXX, I took out a loan through Affirm for a purchase. Due to problems with the seller, I specifically instructed Affirm not to fund the loan. Despite my request, they proceeded with the funding anyway. 

What followed was a frustrating seven-month ordeal. From late XXXX to XX/XX/XXXX, I repeatedly provided Affirm with the same information and documentsat least five different timesas they seemed unable to properly process my case. Eventually, Affirm wrote off the loan on XX/XX/XXXX. On XX/XX/XXXX, they finally acknowledged their mishandling of the situation via email and promised to resolve the issue with XXXX, which they did. 

Recently, I attempted to use Affirm again for a small purchase, but my application was denied. Upon checking my Affirm account, I discovered why : the previous loan was still marked as " written off '' in their system. When I contacted them to correct this, they made an unreasonable demandthey wanted me to send them both a selfie and a photo of my driver 's license. I refuse to comply with this request, especially considering their previous mishandling of my information.

Company: EQUIFAX, INC.
State: TX

Complaint narrative:
I have been attempting to dispute the inaccuracies on my credit report regarding accounts reported by XXXX and XXXX. These companies have failed to properly validate the accounts they are reporting. I did not allow them to report or continue reporting this information on my credit report. Despite my efforts, no documentation or evidence has been provided to confirm the accuracy or validity of these accounts. It appears that the consumer reporting agency is merely verifying the accounts with the furnishers instead of conducting a proper investigation as required under the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ) Under the FCRA, I have the right to dispute any inaccurate, incomplete, or unverifiable information on my credit file. Additionally, the consumer reporting agency is responsible for ensuring that all reported information is accurate, validated, and meets the requirements of a permissible purpose. Since these companies have not met the validation requirements or established a permissible purpose, I request that these accounts be investigated thoroughly and removed promptly if they can not be fully verified as accurate.

Complaint narrative:
RE : Late Payment Improperly Reported- I XXXX XXXX have a RIGHT TO PRIVACY under 15 USC 1681A ( 4 ) as a federally protected consumer and I know my rights presented under the Fair Credit Reporting Act clearly outlined within 15 USC 1681. The Fair Credit Reporting Act ( 15 U.S. Code 1681 ) says ( 1 ) The banking system is dependent upon fair and accurate credit reporting. Inaccurate credit reports directly impair the efficiency of the banking system, and unfair credit reporting methods undermine the public confidence which is essential to the continued functioning of the banking system. So, whenever there is a violation under the FCRA, it impairs the efficiency of the banking system. This is a violation of my privacy with my consumer report, since I control what is listed and what is not. In the event that any accounts are reported without my written consent, that is considered identity theft. This is a violation of both 15 U.S. Code 1681b ( 2 ) and 15 U.S. Code 1681c-2. This leads way to civil liability against the credit reporting agency for negligent and willful noncompliance under 15 U.S. Code 1681n and 15 USC 1681o, which allows for {$1000.00} per violation, for account listed without my expressed written consent. I was reviewing my consumer reports and noticed XXXX XXXX XXXX on my credit report that need be immediately updated to paid as agreed. My Consumer rights have been violated by Your agency. Your agency has violated my consumer rights and violated federal law. This is now multiple attempts to notify you of this erroneous error on the part of your agency. This erroneous late payment is affecting my ability to obtain a loan to save my business from crumbling and also blocking me from the housing that I so desperately need for myself and my family. Please change this to paid as agreed immediately so that I may proceed with my life, or I may be forced to seek legal damages against your agency as I already have sought legal counsel in this more than important matter. Thank you.
