Product: Debt collection — I do not know
Issue: Attempts to collect debt not owed — Debt is not yours
Company: EQUIFAX, INC.
State: NC

Complaint narrative:
I want to stress that I did not give written permission for these specific transactions to be included in my consumer report. At no point did I authorize these entries, and their presence on my report is unwarranted. Consequently, I am formally requesting that these accounts be blocked and removed from my report immediately. 

It is important to clarify that this request is not due to any error or negligence on my part. There has been no oversight or misunderstanding on my end. Instead, this issue arises solely from the fact that I did not explicitly authorize the inclusion of these transactions in my report. I am diligent about maintaining the accuracy and privacy of my financial records, and these unauthorized entries compromise that integrity. 

I trust that you will handle this matter with the urgency and seriousness it deserves. Please confirm the removal of these transactions from my report as soon as possible. Thank you for your prompt attention to this issue.

Issue: Incorrect information on your report — Account status incorrect
Company: Experian Information Solutions Inc.
State: NY

Complaint narrative:
My accounts was never late! I have had exceptional payment history with XXXX XXXX and all payments were placed on Autopay. This late payment that is reporting is a result on a systematic error on their end processing my payment.

This was clearly a billing error made my the company and is not a reflection of my payment experience which violates USC Code 1681eb. This error has caused severe hard to my reputation, my character, my mode of living and to my family!

I demand the late payment reported to be removed/updated.

They are not in compliance with the following law. 15 USC 1666b and its requirements set the standards and the guidance for a creditor to treat a payment as late, yet they are reporting a payment as late and they did not comply with the law!

15 USC 1666b ( a ) Time to make payments A creditor may not treat a payment on a credit card account under an open end consumer credit plan as late for any purpose, unless the creditor has adopted reasonable procedures designed to ensure that each periodic statement including the information required by section 1637 ( b ) of this title is mailed or delivered to the consumer not later than 21 days before the payment due date.

I have requested proof that this information was mailed or delivered 21 days before the payment due date and this information was requested in good faith pursuant rule 1002 and It was never provided.

This is unfair, illegal, fraudulent, and not equitable to me as a consumer!

Company: Experian Information Solutions Inc.
State: NJ

Complaint narrative:
" The Fair Credit Reporting Act ( 15 U.S. Code 1681 ) says ( XXXX ) 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 my privacy with my consumer report, since I control what is listed and what is not. In the event that any accounts are reported without my written consent, that is considered identity theft. 

This is a violation of both 15 U.S. Code 1681b ( XXXX ) and 15 U.S. Code 1681c-2. This leads way to civil liability against the credit reporting agency for negligent and willful noncompliance under 15 U.S. Code 1681n, which allows for {$1000.00} per violation, for each account listed without my expressed written consent. 

I looked at my consumer reports and noticed accounts I never gave anyone permission to report. Consumer reporting agencies have assumed a vital role and have a responsibility to report consumer information to the best of their ability with maximum possible accuracy like the Fair Credit Reporting Act clearly states. I did not provide written consent to report them "

Company: OneMain Finance Corporation

Complaint narrative:
The company emailed me stating I was pre-approved for an offer. I wanted to look into the offer, but made it known that I did not want a hard pull to my credit. After being approved for the pre approval process, I decided to move forward and attempted to go through the entire process to get approved. I understood my credit would undergo a hard pull for the purpose of receiving funds. I was told I was officially approved for XXXX XXXX dollars online.Then a representative called me and stated, I had to refinance my vehicle under one main financial in order to get approved for the loan and that the loan would be for {$7000.00} and not {$15000.00}. He asked me for additional information which I provided. And then told me, I was not eligible for the loan at all. When I asked why I received an email confirmation stating I was approved for {$15000.00}, he stated he could not tell me why that would happen. He stated there was nothing he could do about. The horror pool to my credit. I feel like I was tricked into providing very sensitive information and having a hard pull on my credit. I feel like this company exploited me during weakness. I can not afford a hard pull to my credit as I am already trying to get out of other debt.

Complaint narrative:
I submitted a complaint to the credit bureaus over a month ago, yet the incorrect information on my report remains unchanged. I have not received any updates from the bureaus, aside from your notification indicating that the company has addressed my complaint. How can I be assured that they have thoroughly investigated the inaccuracies? What verification methods were utilized to assess the accounts? This situation is extremely frustrating. More than 30 days have passed since my complaint, and the disputed accounts are still not updated. If this persists, I will be compelled to pursue legal action due to the significant stress it has caused me. Additionally, I am worried about the security of my personal information, especially in light of the data breach involving Equifax, XXXX, and XXXX.
