Company: EQUIFAX, INC.
State: CT

Complaint narrative:
I am writing to formally dispute inaccurate information being reported on my credit report regarding a charge-off. The account in question is listed as follows : Creditor Name : XXXX XXXX XXXX  Account Number : XXXX Date of Charge-Off : XXXX XXXX It has come to my attention that the charge-off Cis being reported month after month on my payment history, which is incorrect. According to the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ), negative information such as a charge-off should only be reported once, corresponding to the date it was charged off. 
The FCRA requires that credit reporting agencies ensure the accuracy of the information they report ( 15 U.S.C. 1681e ( b ) ). Repeatedly reporting the charge-off each month results in a misleading and inaccurate credit report, which has significantly harmed my credit score. Additionally, the statute of limitations for reporting a charge-off is seven years from the date of the first delinquency that led to the charge-off ( 15 U.S.C. 1681c ( a ) ( 4 ) ). Continuously reporting this charge-off as a new event each month does not reset the statute of limitations and is improper.

I request that you promptly investigate this account and correct the inaccurate information by removing the repeated entries of the charge-off from my payment history. Please update my credit report accordingly and provide me with a confirmation of these corrections. 
Thank you for your prompt attention to this matter.

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

Complaint narrative:
Equifax is submitting several months old reports containing severely incorrect information when requested by creditors to evaluate my creditworthiness. The most recent was a request to XXXX XXXX to increase my credit limit. 

I was denied an increase in credit from XXXX  XXXX on the Basis of an old report that also contains incorrect information, including alleged delinquencies, on XXXX XXXX XXXX student loans that have long been fully paid with XXXX months of payments ALWAYS PAID ON TIME. 

In fact, Equifaxs OWN records reflect that I was never delinquent! So why does their credit report reflect delinquencies? 

This has lowered my Equifax FICO SCORE TO XXXX, when my credit score is actually XXXX. 

Equifax has not responded to multiple attempts at phone calls and electronic communication, and they have resolved the dispute years ago only to have the delinquencies appear on the reports sent to creditors but are NOT reflected in their own actual record of my credit. 

This is some internal error and their staff members do not know how to fix it. 

Provided in evidence is EQUIFAXs OWN DOCUMENTATION THAT I NEVER HAD A LATE PAYMENT in 99-300 months of all loans.

I have also provided evidence from other credit bureaus and the lender to confirm I was NEVER DELINQUENT on any account EVER.

I am therefore asking CFPB to 1. Compel Equifax to remove ALL RECORD OF XXXX DELINQUENCY, including XXXX XXXX XXXX OF WHICH WERE PAID AS AGREED AND PAID OFF 2. These are Department of Education Loans that were fully paid off and it must reflect in all outgoing reports to requesting agencies ( credit cards, banks, mortgage ) NO HISTORY OF DELINQUENCY 3. An updated and correct soft pull of my credit from XXXX XXXX XX/XX/year> should be corrected and resubmitted to XXXX  XXXX for their consideration and a written confirmation that an incorrect report from XXXX was sent instead of XX/XX/year> AND it contained incorrect information 4. XXXX update of my XXXX score to reflect my perfect credit history
