Issue: Incorrect information on your report — Account information incorrect
Company: EQUIFAX, INC.
State: MA

Complaint narrative:
I am filing a complaint regarding inaccurate late payment information reported by Experian and Equifax  on my XXXX credit card account, ending in XXXX. 

This account was opened in XX/XX/XXXX and remains open and current as of XX/XX/XXXX, with a current balance of {$1100.00} and no past due amount. My payment history over the past 24 months has been consistent and on time, and I have not missed any payments during this period. 

However, Experian and Equifax are reporting 2 late payments at 30 days and 1 late payment at 60 days, which are inaccurate and are not reported by XXXX, which reflects a clean payment history. 

Under the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ), 15 U.S. Code 1681, I have the right to : Dispute inaccurate or incomplete information on my credit reports. 

Request that consumer reporting agencies investigate and correct or delete any information that can not be verified. 

Receive results of the investigation within 30 days. 

Additionally, Section 623 of the FCRA ( 15 U.S.C. 1681s-2 ) requires furnishers of information ( such as XXXX ) to : Report accurate information to credit reporting agencies. 

Promptly correct any information that is found to be inaccurate or incomplete. 

Cease reporting information that is found to be in error or can not be verified. 

I have previously contacted the credit bureaus and XXXX to request a reinvestigation, but the inaccurate late payments remain. No proof of delinquency was provided to me, and the remarks remain unresolved on Equifax, including a consumer disputes after resolution status that I did not authorize. 

I am requesting that the CFPB assist in this matter by : Ensuring a reinvestigation is conducted as required by FCRA. 

Requesting documentation from XXXX and the bureaus showing the alleged dates and amounts of these late payments. 

Ensuring correction or deletion of any unverifiable or inaccurate data. 

Removing any outdated dispute remarks from my file. 

These errors are negatively affecting my credit profile and limiting my access to fair credit opportunities. I respectfully request your help in ensuring my credit report is accurate and compliant with federal law. 

Thank you for your time and attention to this matter.

Issue: Problem with a company's investigation into an existing problem — Their investigation did not fix an error on your report
Company: EQUIFAX, INC.
State: TX

Complaint narrative:
I am filing this complaint against XXXX XXXX XXXX for willful violations of the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ), including 1681n, 1681e ( b ), and 1681s-2 ( b ). The company has continued to report inaccurate, misleading, and unverifiable information to Equifax, despite having full notice of the errors and the harm theyre causing. This is a textbook case of negligent and intentional noncompliance. 

XXXX. False Reporting of Vehicle & Status : XXXX XXXX is reporting a repossession for a XXXX XXXX XXXX vehicle I have never owned. The actual vehicle was a XXXX XXXX XXXX. Reporting the wrong collateral is a serious factual inaccuracy that violates FCRA 1681e ( b ), which requires maximum possible accuracy. That alone is grounds for deletion. 

Additionally, the account is marked Paid Repossession with a {$0.00} balance, yet its still being classified as Derogatory. This violates Metro 2 compliance guidelines, which mandate that paid/settled repossessions with no deficiency balance should not continue to report as negative or suppressive to a consumers credit.

2. Willful Noncompliance & False Claims : XXXX XXXX falsely stated in their previous response that I made no contact prior to disputing. This is completely untrue and can be proven. Their refusal to fix blatant errors after formal notice demonstrates willful disregard for the law, triggering FCRA 1681n, which allows me to pursue monetary damages and punitive action.

3. Failure to Provide Requested Information : The company did not verify the reported information, failed to provide correct vehicle details, and did not correct the derogatory statusdespite being notified of all of the above.

Complaint narrative:
I am submitting this complaint as a second-round dispute regarding a bankruptcy account that continues to be inaccurately reported on my credit file. Despite a previous dispute submitted in good faith, the credit reporting agencies have failed to provide verifiable proof that the information is accurate and complete, as required by the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ), Section 611 ( 1681i ). 

The bankruptcy listing is either outdated, inconsistent with my public court records, or unverifiable. According to the FCRA, consumer reporting agencies must ensure that all information on credit reports is accurate, and they are legally obligated to conduct a reasonable reinvestigation when a consumer files a dispute. However, the bureaus have continued to report this account without properly validating the data.
