Product: Credit reporting, credit repair services, or other personal consumer reports — Credit reporting
Issue: Problem with a credit reporting company's investigation into an existing problem — Was not notified of investigation status or results
Company: EQUIFAX, INC.
State: TX

Complaint narrative:
This is a formal complaint against Equifax Information Services LLC located in XXXX, GA. This company has repeatedly violated my consumer rights under the Fair Credit Reporting Act and has caused me much unnecessary financial AND mental distress. For starters, they're reporting an erroneous & unverifiable account on my credit report and not to mention an account in which I've asked for proof of claim and in which they have not been able to provide, per the FCRA. Despite my efforts to resolve this unfortunate nightmare for several months now, Equifax Information Services LLC has completely ignored my communications and legal submissions to remove this inaccurate information from my credit report. I am well aware of the many, many other complaints filed against this company for their illegal and unethical business. Yet, somehow, this company is still in business. This company 's unprofessional & negligent behavior has caused lots of serious harm, not only to my ability to establish credit & good interest rates, but also to my character as a Professional and as an individual. Please help me, and the many other consumers just like me, to put a stop to the operation of these unethical & immoral business practices immediately. I sincerely appreciate your time and assistance in this matter and hope to hear from you very soon.

Company: EQUIFAX, INC.

Complaint narrative:
I reported a collection account on my consumer report that is a fraudulent account to Equifax. The collection agency sent me documents that obtained my name but my signature was forged. They denied the block because I didn't put the correct amount. I found out that the amount XXXX XXXX is trying to collect is different than the amount that is on the bill. By law when a consumer reports an account as fraud, the consumer reporting agency is supposed to block and delete that information from the consumer 's report. 15 U.S. Code 1681c2. Although Equifax has the right to not block the information, they denied the block due to information the collection provided which was a different amount that I was unaware of.

The teller informed me that the local branch was unable to access or unfreeze the account and it must be done by Corporate. 
On XX/XX/XXXX -after a 1hr 2min call with Citizens Customer Service they informed me that the Savings account had be frozen due to " inactivity '' and that they would unfreeze the account. The account would be unfrozen at midnight on XX/XX/XXXX. 
The next day i went online only to discover i was unable to transfer money out of the account. 
On XX/XX/XXXX, around XXXX, I drove to the local Citizens Bank branch to access my money. The teller informed me that the Savings account was " Frozen '' and they were unable to access or even close the account.

After a long time on hold, she informed me that they could not reach anyone in the back-office and that Monday someone should be able to help. 
The supervisor refused to send anything in writing or even provide an email address where i could write for help.

Complaint narrative:
Good Afternoon, I am writing to you as I do not know where else to turn. I have already tried several times over the past year, spending countless hours on the phone with Fed Loan Servicing to resolve this issue and emailing them as well. I am part of the Public Interest Loan Forgiveness Program and have contacted Fed Loan multiple times to correctly update my " Qualifying Payment Count '' to the accurate amount. All of my Employment Certification Forms have been submitted and uploaded by Fed Loan, and are even listed with the correct dates in Fed Loan 's letters that they send me, yet they still have an inaccurate number of Qualifying and inaccurate amount of eligible payments listed, keeping me at XXXX qualifying payments when the number is actually over 90. They estimate my forgiveness in the program to be XXXX when it is actually no later than XXXX. I have been in this program since XXXX making on-time monthly payments while employed full-time for qualifying employers that have been APPROVED by Fed Loan, yet they still do not update my payments despite countless requests, responding only with generic language from their website when I submit complaints through writing, and providing inaccurate information over the phone. The only time I did not make on-time payments while employed full-time by a qualifying employer during the past 11 years was for a brief period of 1 year total ( respectively one period of 8 months not working and another period of 3 months not working ). where I was not working. The only other time I did not make payments was during Covid when I was working for a qualifying employer but the amount was waived for all those in the Public Interest Program. I was told by Fed Loan Servicing that these {$0.00} payments would count since I was working full-time for a qualifying employer. They STILL have not been updated as qualifying payments in my account. 

This has been going on for over a year, and they each time fail to submit accurate counts. They also fail to provide a SPECIFIC timeline of days or a specific date of when I can expect to receive an ACCURATE updated payment count. Any help in resolving this issue would be greatly appreciated.
