Consumer complaint received 2023-08-03 00:00:00
Product: Credit reporting, credit repair services, or other personal consumer reports — Credit reporting
Issue: Improper use of your report — Reporting company used your report improperly
Company: ID Analytics, Inc.
State: FL

Complaint narrative:
I am writing to address a concerning matter regarding the reporting of my credit information by your agency. It has come to my attention that late payments and credit utilization data have been included in my credit report, despite falling under the exclusions of transactions and experiences as defined by the law. 
I am invoking my rights under the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ), specifically 15 USC 1681 ( a ) ( 2 ), which requires consumer reporting agencies to provide accurate and fair credit reporting. Additionally, 15 USC 6801 and 6802 ( b ) ( 2 ) explicitly state that nonpublic personal information, including transaction and experience data, should not be disclosed without proper authorization.

By including late payments and credit utilization data in my credit report, your agency is in direct violation of these federal laws. As a result, this inaccurate and misleading reporting is adversely affecting my creditworthiness and financial standing.

Moreover, these violations raise serious concerns about this agencies blatant misuse of my personal information and other fraudulent activities. Under 18 USC 1028 ( a ), such identity theft offenses are subject to criminal penalties, further emphasizing the gravity of this matter.

Complaint narrative:
I tried to remove my freeze on my credit report from Equifax. 
For that I have to go to create an account and answer a bunch of questions, and at some moment I was told that it could not verify me and I will receive a pin in a mail in 3-5 days. 
The mail come in more than 7 days, with the instruction to go and complete the enrollment, what I did successfully ( received a confirmation email ). But still could not login into my account, because of " We are temporarily unable to complete this request. '' error after I input my credentials. The error is not descriptive to tell me what is wrong. 
I have XXXX this error and looks like people are complaining about it for years. 

I'm very frustrated by this company, that is using my personal information without any approval from me, and at the same time is making difficult to access it. 
I did the same in the same day for two other companies : XXXX and XXXX without any issues. Only Equifax doesn't allow access my account and freeze/unfreeze when I want. 

Thanks you

Issue: Incorrect information on your report — Information is missing that should be on the report
Company: EQUIFAX, INC.
State: NC

Complaint narrative:
I have been working on repairing my credit and I'm running into various issues. My first is with equifax. Equifax states that " closed accounts stay on your credit report for up to 10 years since the date of last activity and negative information such as late payments or collections, generally stay on your Equifax credit report for up to 7 years from the date of first delinquency. '' Due to several equifax data breaches I have free access to myequifax.com to monitor my report. Recently, I have noticed that all my adverse accounts are missing the date of last activity which is an important part of my report according to their own wording. My accounts in good standing and recently paid off debt shows the date of last activity, but my negatively impacting account are all missing this date. It appears that the creditors or equifax have purposely chosen to omit this date so that I will never know when the debt will be removed and so the length of time the debt remains on my report can be manipulated. I also have no way to prove how long the debt has been on my report since equifax only allows me to review up to 1 year of past reports on their website.
