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

Complaint narrative:
My account with XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX 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 in to be removed.

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. 

XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX  never sent the periodic statement along with the disclosures from section 1637 ( b ).

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! 

Delete the late payments from my consumer reports

Complaint narrative:
Today, I found that my credit report contained accounts that should not be there, and I dont understand why. I checked it as I normally do, but unlike before, I noticed inconsistencies that appeared out of nowhere. I even refreshed my browser, hoping it was a temporary error, but the inaccurate accounts did not disappear. Because of this, I am asking for a detailed review of the documents Ive provided so I wont have to deal with this concern again.

Company: Freedom Mortgage Company
State: OH

Complaint narrative:
I recently assumed my loan with Freedom Mortgage, my brother was the other party and wanted to be taken off the loan. As soon as the loan closed, I lost all online access to my account. I was told that I would have to have an automatic payment form filled out ( dont get paid on the same day every month ) or call every month with my payment. Before the loan closed, I was told that I would lose access for a short time, but I would get it back so that I had access to my accounts. When I called, they told me they deleted my account and they delete all accounts associated with an assumption, the person then put me on hold and was told by management that I would regain my online account after a billing cycle. They said anytime I needed a document I would have to call them and it be mailed to me ; they told me I could view them through my email, but the link takes me to the login screen. I let them know that I signed up for paperless billing and asked if I could change it so that I could have access without having to call and request it, they informed me that paperless billing would remain the same and to again access my email ( which again takes me to the login website ). 

It is extremely difficult not having automatic access to my loan and payment options, there is not an option to send a payment through my bank, I can only pay with my bank account if I call or if I have access to the app. I currently work full time as a nurse, the app should be available, and I should have full access to my statements and account balances at all times if I need it. I have never made a late payment, and my brother never had access to the app and has never made a payment, they have all come from my account for the entirety of my loan. I have refinances cars and when I did, they just got rid of the other account so that I could not view it, I do not understand why they can't do the same, this would allow me access and protect my brother 's information. I have looked online for answers, and this has happened to several borrowers. What is there to hide? How do I know if there a discrepancy? It seems very illegal and sneaky not allowing your borrowers to have online access.

Complaint narrative:
I am writing to formally dispute inaccuracies on my credit report related to identity theft and I'd like to emphasize that I am the one submitting this complaint and there is no third party involved. I submitted my initial dispute on XX/XX/XXXX, along with a Federal Trade Commission ( FTC ) Identity Theft Report and additional documentation supporting my claim. However, your agency has failed to meet its obligations under the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ). Violations of the FCRA 1.Failure to Conduct a Reasonable Investigation ( 15 U.S.C. 1681i ( a ) ( 1 ) ) Under the FCRA, credit reporting agencies are required to conduct a reasonable investigation upon receiving a dispute. Despite providing a comprehensive FTC Identity Theft Report and detailed supporting evidence, I have not received confirmation of any substantive investigation into the disputed items. 
2.Failure to Notify Me of Investigation Results ( 15 U.S.C. 1681i ( a ) ( 6 ) ) The FCRA mandates that consumers be notified of the results of an investigation within 30 days of submitting a dispute. To date, I have not received any such notification, nor have I been informed of the outcome of your review or the process by which my dispute was evaluated.

3.Failure to Block Inaccurate Information Promptly ( 15 U.S.C. 1681c-2 ) The FCRA requires credit reporting agencies to block information resulting from identity theft upon receipt of appropriate documentation, such as an FTC Identity Theft Report. This has not occurred in my case. 

Precedent Cases Supporting My Position Your failure to comply with FCRA requirements is not only a violation of my rights but also exposes your agency to liability, as demonstrated in precedent cases : XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX ( XXXX ) : This case emphasized that credit reporting agencies have a duty to conduct reasonable investigations beyond relying on the data provided by furnishers. 
XXXX XXXX XXXXXXXX XXXX ( XXXX ) : The Supreme Court upheld consumer rights in disputes related to credit reporting inaccuracies, reinforcing the accountability of credit bureaus under the FCRA. 

Requested Resolution To resolve this matter, I demand the following actions : 1.Conduct a reasonable and thorough reinvestigation of the disputed accounts and transactions associated with my identity theft. 
2.Provide a detailed written summary of your investigation, including the steps taken and evidence reviewed.

3.Immediately block or remove all inaccurate information resulting from the identity theft.

If this matter is not resolved promptly, I will have no choice but to escalate my complaint by filing with the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau ( CFPB ), the Federal Trade Commission ( FTC ), and potentially pursuing legal remedies.

Complaint narrative:
I received a card from Cashapp in the mail I did not request. I contacted them through their chat after numerous failed attempts at calling. I made an initial case about the card asking for it to be cancelled and confirmation of cancellation. I checked in every couple days via chat. I checked back in today and was told to make a new case. I was told the old case was closed. I never received any correspondence about the card after making the case via chat. They sent me a link to provide photos in the initial case which I did and answered all their questions. They are now asking for me to do the same thing even though the photos were through a separate website and they confirmed receipt of the photos. I don't feel comfortable providing photos again especially through an outside website and I feel they are giving me the run around about closing it out. I will provide screenshots.

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 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 ( 2 ) 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. ''

Complaint narrative:
Experian has failed to fulfill its legal obligation under the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ) to conduct a reasonable reinvestigation of disputed information on my credit report, leaving inaccurate or unverifiable accounts unresolved. The Consumer Financial Protection Bureau ( CFPB ) has recently filed a lawsuit against Experian, alleging systemic issues such as failing to forward consumer-provided evidence to furnishers, accepting unreliable responses, and failing to adequately notify consumers of dispute outcomes. These failures align with my experience, where Experian has neither corrected nor removed disputed items despite the evidence I provided, causing ongoing harm to my credit standing. I am requesting immediate corrective action to remove or amend the disputed accounts, as Experian 's inaction violates federal law and my rights as a consumer.
