Product: Credit reporting or other personal consumer reports — Credit reporting
Issue: Incorrect information on your report — Account status incorrect
Company: EQUIFAX, INC.
State: NY

Complaint narrative:
My credit report shows late payments that arent accurate. A billing and reporting error from my bank has unfairly damaged my credit. Under TILA ( 15 U.S. Code 1666 ( b ) ), creditors must report payments accurately, yet a payment I made was not properly recorded, leading to an incorrect late mark on my report. Additionally, I was not given the required 21-day notice before the payment was due, making the late mark invalid. Ive asked the credit bureaus to provide proof of these late payments, but they havent given me any real documentation to back up the claim. Because of this, the incorrect information is still on my report, which is hurting my credit score.

Company: EQUIFAX, INC.
State: WA

Complaint narrative:
My accounts was never late! I have had exceptional payment history with XXXX  XXXX and all payments were placed on Autopay. This late payment that is reporting is a result on a systematic error on their end processing my payment. This was clearly a billing error made my the company and is not a reflection of my payment experience which violates USC Code 1681eb. This error has caused severe hard to my reputation, my character, my mode of living and to my family! I demand the late payment reported to be removed/updated. They are not in compliance with the following law. 15 USC 1666b and its requirements set the standards and the guidance for a creditor to treat a payment as late, yet they are reporting a payment as late and they did not comply with the law! 15 USC 1666b ( a ) Time to make payments A creditor may not treat a payment on a credit card account under an open end consumer credit plan as late for any purpose, unless the creditor has adopted reasonable procedures designed to ensure that each periodic statement including the information required by section 1637 ( b ) of this title is mailed or delivered to the consumer not later than 21 days before the payment due date. I have requested proof that this information was mailed or delivered 21 days before the payment due date and this information was requested in good faith pursuant rule 1002 and It was never provided. This is unfair, illegal, fraudulent, and not equitable to me as a consumer!

Issue: Incorrect information on your report — Account status incorrect
Company: EQUIFAX, INC.
State: TX

Complaint narrative:
I am updating a late payment that is currently being reported on my credit report as " open '' or unresolved. This entry is inaccurate and misleading. I have either already resolved the payment, or I was never late as claimed. The continued reporting of this item as open and delinquent is a violation of the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ), particularly 15 U.S.C. 1681e ( b ), which requires consumer reporting agencies to maintain maximum possible accuracy of the information they report.

This misreporting has negatively impacted my credit score and may hinder my ability to obtain credit or employment. I am requesting an immediate investigation into this matter, as well as a correction or deletion of the inaccurate late payment record if it can not be verified.

Issue: Attempts to collect debt not owed — Debt was paid
Company: Amsher Collection Services, Inc.
State: TX

Complaint narrative:
Amsher is reporting a collection account on my credit report for a balance that XXXX has acknowledged was billed in error. Spectrum confirmed the account was closed in good standing and that the balance was recalled for internal investigation. Spectrum also informed me that they are waiting on final approval from a XXXX XXXX to formally close the case, which they expect to take another week. 

Amsher initially told me the file was sent to their law firm due to the dispute. The law firm then referred me back to XXXX, confirming the account is under review and no collection action should be ongoing. Amsher refuses to remove or update the credit reporting in the meantime, despite the debt being under active investigation and Spectrum no longer treating the account as valid.

This continued reporting is harming my credit. I am requesting that Amsher immediately remove or at least mark the account as disputed until the investigation is resolved. Spectrum should also be required to resolve and formally communicate the outcome.

Complaint narrative:
My credit report should only reflect accurate information, which is why its important to verify the accuracy of this data rather than relying solely on what the data furnisher has provided. I'm deeply concerned about these errors and they've been causing me stress and it's also impacting my ability to secure new credit. They are mixed, fraudulent information that Ive never authorized or benefited from. If you can not certify that all data belongs to me, these accounts and its respective charges must be removed entirely and I need you to address this as soon as possible to prevent further damage.
