Product: Credit reporting or other personal consumer reports — Credit reporting
Issue: Incorrect information on your report — Information belongs to someone else
Company: EQUIFAX, INC.
State: CA

Complaint narrative:
The reported late payments and charge-off accounts are inaccurate, incomplete, and unverifiable. The furnishers have failed to provide original, documented proof that these alleged delinquencies occurred. Without legally required validation, continued reporting of this negative information is a direct violation of the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ) and the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act ( FDCPA ). Reporting unverifiable derogatory information damages my credit standing and reflects negligent and unlawful reporting practices.

Complaint narrative:
You have reported inaccurate and unauthorized accounts on my credit report, which is a violation of the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( 15 U.S. Code 1681i ) requiring a proper reinvestigation of disputed items, and 1681e ( b ), which mandates maximum possible accuracy. These false entries are damaging and unjust, especially since Ive never opened or authorized these accounts. If you fail to investigate and correct this, I may pursue legal action under the FCRA and FDCPA ( 15 U.S. Code 1692e ) for deceptive and misleading reporting.

Complaint narrative:
THE REPORTING AGENCY HAS DEMONSTRATED A PATTERN OF SYSTEMIC NEGLIGENCE AND FAILURE TO MAINTAIN REASONABLE COMPLIANCE PROCEDURES AS REQUIRED UNDER 15 U.S.C. 1681E ( A ) AND 1681E ( B ). IT IS CLEAR THAT THIS ENTITY DOES NOT HAVE ADEQUATE INTERNAL CONTROLS, AUDIT TRAILS, OR SUPERVISORY PROCEDURES IN PLACE TO ENSURE LEGAL ACCURACY AND COMPLIANCE. 

THE AGENCYS RESPONSES TO DISPUTES ARE AUTOMATED, UNSUBSTANTIATED, AND DEVOID OF HUMAN REVIEW INDICATING THAT NO REASONABLE INVESTIGATION OCCURRED. SUCH AUTOMATION, WHEN IT RESULTS IN THE CONTINUED REPORTING OF KNOWN INACCURACIES, AMOUNTS TO RECKLESS NONCOMPLIANCE AND BAD FAITH OPERATION UNDER THE FCRA. 

MOREOVER, THERE IS NO EVIDENCE THAT THE AGENCY HAS PROVIDED TRAINING OR OVERSIGHT TO PERSONNEL RESPONSIBLE FOR HANDLING CONSUMER DISPUTES, NOR HAS IT IMPLEMENTED ADEQUATE SAFEGUARDS TO PREVENT REPEATED ERRORS OR IMPROPER DATA HANDLING. 

THIS PATTERN OF NONCOMPLIANCE VIOLATES THE CORE PRINCIPLES OF CONSUMER PROTECTION, FAIR DATA USE, AND DUE PROCESS AND DEMONSTRATES A DELIBERATE FAILURE TO UPHOLD FEDERAL REPORTING STANDARDS.

Complaint narrative:
The Fair Credit Reporting Act ( 15 U.S. Code 1681 ) says ( 1 ) The banking system is dependent upon fair and accurate credit reporting. Inaccurate credit reports directly impair the efficiency of the banking system, and unfair credit reporting methods undermine the public confidence which is essential to the continued functioning of the banking system. So whenever there is a violation under the FCRA, it impairs the efficiency of the banking system. This is a violation of TILA US Code 1666B since I was never late. " I recently reviewed my consumer report and noticed an incorrect late payment record. I have always maintained timely payments on this account. Under the Fair Credit Billing Act ( FCBA ) and the Truth in Lending Act ( TILA ), creditors are required to accurately report consumer transactions and provide a mechanism for correcting errors in a timely manner. Please conduct an investigation into this matter, and if you can not provide documentary evidence of these supposed late payments, I demand these payments to be updated to on time as they should be as I was NEVER late. I expect these updates to be made promptly, in compliance with the law. ''

Complaint narrative:
Finding unauthorized accounts, credit inquiries, and false personal information made or reported without my knowledge or agreement completely stunned and grieved me. I've tried to get clarification from the creditors, but they have blatantly refused to give it to me. I demand that the creditors act immediately and be transparent. The creditors must submit pertinent application materials, show proof of express authority for each query, and give comprehensive details about each account and inquiry, including dates, purposes, and the kinds of credit products involved. To see what I'm complaining about, please refer to the attached file!

Complaint narrative:
Subject : Request for Credit Information Correction - Compliance with 15 U.S. Code 1666b and Other FCRA Provisions I am writing to you as the holder of account number XXXXXXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX for my, auto loan to report an issue negatively impacting my credit report. This issue appears to be in violation of the provisions of 15 U.S. Code 1666b and other relevant sections of the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ).

According to 15 U.S. Code 1666b, creditors must send periodic statements, including all information required by section 1637 ( b ), at least 21 days before the payment due date. This requirement ensures that consumers have sufficient time to receive, review, and make necessary payments without being unfairly penalized for late payments.

Additionally, the FCRA, specifically sections 15 U.S. Code 1681i and 15 U.S. Code 1681s-2, mandates that credit reporting agencies and information furnishers correct any inaccurate or incomplete information in credit reports and ensure the maximum accuracy of information contained in consumer files.

I have identified that the statements for my, auto loan, have not been delivered in compliance with these requirements, resulting in the appearance of late payments on my credit report. This non-compliance has adversely affected my credit score.

Furthermore, I would like to refer to the Protection Against Non-Payment of Obligations Act ( PAANL ), which establishes that creditors must ensure timely delivery of statements to avoid unfair penalties to consumers.

I formally request that you investigate and correct any inaccurate information related to these late payments on my credit report. Below are the details of the affected payments : Date of reported late payment : XX/XX/XXXX XX/XX/XXXX I would appreciate your prompt attention to this matter to rectify any errors in my credit report. I am willing to provide any additional documentation necessary for your investigation. 
I look forward to receiving written confirmation of the actions taken to correct this information and ensure compliance with the relevant regulations. 
Thank you for your attention to this important matter.

Complaint narrative:
This CFPB complaint has been filed to request pursuant to FCRA 605B ( 15 U.S.C. 1681c-2 ) that you -- credit reporting agency, block information appearing on my consumer credit report that is the result of identity theft and fraud within 4 business days of you receiving this complaint. I am concerned about the validity and accuracy of your recent investigation of these accounts that are reporting on my credit report. Last month I requested an investigation because I felt the item was not being reported legally. Couple of days ago I received a letter stating that you have ceased investigation of my credit reports because, in your opinion, you believe that I have used a third party credit repair agency. Not only do I believe this to be a stall tactic on your part to grant you an additional 30 days to comply with my original request, but I believe it to be a blatant violation of the FCRA. 

I have attached a copy of my government issued ID as well as mail showing proof of address. So, there shouldnt be any confusion or stall tactics on your end.
