Company: EQUIFAX, INC.
State: TX

Complaint narrative:
I am submitting this complaint because fraudulent and unauthorized inquiries have been reported on my consumer credit report as a result of identity theft. These inquiries were not initiated or authorized by me and constitute violations of my consumer rights under the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ), specifically 605B [ 15 U.S.C. 1681c-2 ], which requires the blocking of information resulting from identity theft, and 604 [ 15 U.S.C. 1681b ], which outlines the permissible purposes for accessing a consumer report.

I have contacted the companies responsible for these inquiries and none were able to provide any valid authorization or proof bearing my signature. Furthermore, I submitted a formal request to the credit reporting agency to investigate and remove these fraudulent inquiries. The FCRA mandates that such information be blocked within four ( 4 ) business days of receiving notice, yet these inquiries remain on my file.

Complaint narrative:
I am disputing 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.

Pursuant to 15 U.S.C. XXXX ( a ) ( XXXX ) and XXXX, I request that you provide a complete copy of the original signed consumer contract with a wetink signaturea Verifiable, Validated Proofthat you claim to possess for the above-referenced account. Copies of copies are insufficient by law. 

Under FCRA XXXX ( a ) ( XXXX ) ( A ), you are legally obligated to verify any account before reporting it on my credit file. If you are unable to provide such proof within XXXX calendar days of receipt of this letter, you must immediately delete the account from all credit reports. 

FCRA XXXX ( a ) ( XXXX ) ( A ) requires furnishers to promptly remove unverifiable information. Under XXXX ( 15 U.S.C. XXXX ), negligent noncompliance exposes entities to actual damages, attorneys fees, and costs ; willful noncompliance under XXXX exposes entities to statutory/punitive damages ( {>= $1,000,000} + punitive ). 

Case law strongly supports my position : - Negligent/willful failures to remove unverifiable or inaccurate information have resulted in XXXX dollar awards ( e.g., XXXX XXXX Equifax XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX.

Product: Student loan — Federal student loan servicing
Issue: Incorrect information on your report — Account information incorrect
Company: EdFinancial Services
State: IA

Complaint narrative:
I am being wrongfully reported for a student loan serviced by EdFinancial, which I never took out and do not owe. All of my student loans were originated and serviced solely by XXXX, and XXXX has confirmed that there has been no transfer of service to EdFinancial.

Despite this, EdFinancial has reported a loan under my name to the credit bureaus, causing serious damage to my credit score. I have requested documentation and validation from EdFinancial, which has not yet been provided. This appears to be part of a broader pattern of misreporting by EdFinancial, as others have reported similar experiences. 

This is a violation of the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ) and potentially the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act ( FDCPA ). I am requesting the CFPB investigate this company and ensure the account is removed from my credit reports immediately. 

It should also be worth mentioning that there are several forums online that have been having this same issue, with a considerable amount of them saying that the claims are from XXXX ( like mine ) and have been showing up within the past XXXX months as of XX/XX/XXXX. Other users have mentioned that they paid off loans several years ago ( with entities other than XXXX  ) that XXXX is trying to claim is never paid.
