Issue: Problem with a credit reporting company's investigation into an existing problem — Their investigation did not fix an error on your report
Company: EQUIFAX, INC.
State: IL

Complaint narrative:
The credit bureaus keep disrespecting the laws. I showed them multiple times of how they are violating the Fair Credit Reporting Act. 

According to 15 USC 1681i ( 5 ) the credit bureaus have to modify or delete accounts that are not reporting accurately According to 15 USC 1681b ( 1 ) the credit bureaus dont have no written premission According to 15 USC 1681 I have the right to privacy According to 15 USC 1681s-2 A person shall not furnish any information relating to a consumer to any consumer reporting agency if the person knows or has reasonable cause to believe that the information is inaccurate. 
( B ) Reporting information after notice and confirmation of errors A person shall not furnish information relating to a consumer to any consumer reporting agency if ( i ) the person has been notified by the consumer, at the address specified by the person for such notices, that specific information is inaccurate; and ( ii ) the information is, in fact, inaccurate. 

I can go on about how they keep undermining the law. 

The credit bureaus have no respect for the laws. 

Someone needs to hold them accountable for this

Issue: Incorrect information on your report — Account information incorrect
Company: Bread Financial Holdings, Inc.
State: MD

Complaint narrative:
I am requesting that the lates be removed from my credit reports due to the inaccuracy of the reportings. Each credit bureau has a different reporting, some show payments were on time but another report shows 60days late for the same month and year. Also it shows 30, 60 then 120 days delinquent but what happened to 90?! ( Example on XXXX it shows late XXXX 30 days may 60 days XXXX 120 days but on XXXX its current all XXXX except XXXX. ) T his is a clear violation of the Fair credit reporting act. Also it looks like combined information because my credit was pulled using credit plus and there are two victorias secrets accounts with different account numbers opened on the same date, closed on the same date, same credit limits but different payment history. 
I also requested for this account to be closed and it wasnt closed resulting in fees and late fees. It was finally escalated in XX/XX/XXXX and closed after the complaint was handled by XXXX a member of management.
