Issue: Incorrect information on your report — Personal information incorrect
Company: EQUIFAX, INC.
State: MN

Complaint narrative:
Issue with Equifax reporting : Last year I did some rate shopping for an auto loan and my report was pulled by 4 financial institutions. 3 on XXXX/XXXX/2016 and one on XXXX/XXXX/2016. These institutions were : ( XXXX/XXXX/2016 ) XXXX, XXXX XXXX & XXXX XXXX & ( XXXX/XXXX/2016 ) XXXX XXXX XXXX. I 've read in multiple places online that rate shopping for auto loan rates will only count against your score 1x if done within a certain time frame. When I checked one free site, it showed XXXX of those inquiries counting against my score. I called Equifax 2x in the last week and everyone I talked to told me a hard credit check was a hard credit check regardless of what it was for and was gon na count against me even though there are multiple blogs on their site supporting the rate shopping will count as 1 hit against your score.
The first time I called I requested a supervisor and then a manager. The manager told me that only one of the rate shopping pulls was showing on my report. When I asked her about the new changes regarding liens and civil judgements she stated that my bankruptcy and paid tax liens were no longer on my report. I then bought one of their products to check my score and low and behold, it was all still there. When I called back I was again told nothing could be done about the inquiries. When I was denied a credit application, I requested my free copy. The report has two inquiry sections, ones that effect your score and ones that do n't. All XXXX of those inquiries are listed under the effects your score section. I do n't know what to do about this or how I can get it fixed so that only XXXX of those credit pulls is negatively effecting my score especially since I 'm mortgage rate shopping.
They also are reporting my XXXX student consolidation loan as open when it was bought out by the XXXX XXXX XXXX after the approval of my XXXX  discharge : the balance showing is {$10000.00}. I intended to file a dispute against this but am quite discouraged at their ability to fairly resolve disputes.
Any advice and assistance will be greatly appreciated.
Sincerely, XXXX XXXX XXXX  XXXX

Complaint narrative:
XXXX XXXX, 2017 Equifax Information Services. LLC, XXXX. XXXX XXXX, XXXX, GA XXXX XXXX : Please be advised that as a result of my continual efforts to get my credit bureau file corrected, the following issues have not been adjusted : 1 ) XXXX XXXX is still showing a balance on my account. I have attached my communications with XXXX XXXX ( see attachments ) since my last dispute, however XXXX is the only party not removing their account from my credit file. Based on my opinion this appears to be a form of EXTORTION. I had someone dumped into my credit file and XXXX rectified that issue, except for the charge offs. I have gotten all the charge offs removed except XXXX. Please note that only my name can be used to apply information to my credit file and I recently had a fraud alert placed on the account. This issue has created a hardship for me in many ways, including much higher premiums that are not justified! If necessary I have the original envelope and letter that can be scanned and forwarded electronically, that backs up my claim. Please let me know if this is required. 2 ) There are closed accounts still showing from years ago. 3 ) Recently, I used {$500.00} to {$600.00} in credit card usage, well within my credit limit, and suffered a 30 point credit score loss. It was paid within the allowable timeframe and has not been readjusted to the original credit score. Is someone trying to extort something? Please review my issues above and correct my credit file and credit score to more accurately reflect my payment history and credit standing.

Complaint narrative:
Hello, I am not sure who I would contact in regards to checking the legalities of my Foreclosure in Idaho. I was Foreclosed XX/XX/XXXX/XX/XX/XXXX. My loan was originally through a different lender in XX/XX/XXXX. Then somehow it was switched over to Idaho Housing and Finance in XX/XX/XXXX without my knowledge. In XX/XX/XXXX I was able to modify my loan through the E-Help program. Although it took my percentage rate up to 5 %. In XX/XX/XXXX/XX/XX/XXXX I got behind on my Mortgage due to personal reasons. XXXX for 16 weeks and the XXXX of my mother which I needed to take FMLA to care for her prior to her XXXX. I attempted to modify my loan through Idaho Housing and Finance and they would not approve me to do so. They stated that since I am a XXXX that traveled at the time, I was considered a XXXX. I never received XXXX so I do not understand this thinking. If the government does not consider me a XXXX XXXX how can the lender state that I am a XXXX XXXX? I at one point met with the counselors and had all of the money to pay except for one month. I advised the counselor I would be able to catch up the following month with the full payment. He stated he would not Modify the loan still as I was considered a XXXX XXXX as long as I was a XXXX that traveled. There are a XXXX XXXX that travel for their work and I do not understand why I was singled out and not able to modify my loan. The counselor I worked with kept telling me that he was following the FHA rules. I called an FHA counselor and he stated it made no sense and he would have refinanced me with out an issue but my loan did not show up in their system. So obviously something was not right. I have no idea who to call to find out if this was a legal transaction government wise. Please direct me if you can. The loan number was XXXX through Idaho Housing and Finance in XXXX Idaho.
