Issue: Improper use of your report — Reporting company used your report improperly
Company: EQUIFAX, INC.
State: NY

Complaint narrative:
This is related to the false payment reporting on my credit report for XX/XX/year> I have already called previously and spoken to a customer agent a year ago to have the reporting of this late payment changed to paid on time and was told it would be updated to on paid on time. I distinctly remember speaking to a customer service agent overseas about the fact that that payment was supposed to able set on auto pay and I was unaware the system glitched and didnt allow the autopay to upload. 

I called about the reporting of this late payment and was told by a customer service agent overseas that this would behuldate to paid on time. It is not my fault if XXXX decides to hire people overseas for pay cuts who might not completely what I am saying but that is not the consumers fault! You cant expect to hire people with XXXX as a second language and then allow to make mistakes like these. I was recently denied an apartment and am now homeless due to the false reporting of this late payment! I will sue chase if this continues further. I either want this updated to pay on time as I have no other late payments or changed to no data for that month. But under no circumstances should you guys keep reporting this false information. There is absolutely no proof that this payment was deliberately paid late and it is the only one. This is completely ruining my life and causing major hardship. I should not be homeless while employed because my credit is getting demo. Update it asap or I will have to look into legal action.

Complaint narrative:
I did not approve these transactions to be included in my consumer report, neither in writing nor verbally. Therefore, I formally request that these accounts be blocked and removed from my record. This is not a mistake or a misrepresentation. These transactions were included without my explicit consent or instruction. 

I am stressing this to highlight the seriousness of my request. It is based on accurate information, and I am not attempting to deceive or manipulate the situation in any way. My intent is solely to ensure that my consumer report reflects only those transactions that I have authorized. I am committed to maintaining the integrity of my financial records and ensuring that they are accurate and truthful. My request is genuine and aimed at correcting an unauthorized inclusion, not at exploiting any system or misleading any party involved.
