Company: EQUIFAX, INC.
State: NJ

Complaint narrative:
I am disputing inaccuracies on my credit report and requesting the immediate removal of specific accounts and items. These inaccuracies include unauthorized negative entries, incorrect addresses, and hard inquiries reported without my consent. These actions violate the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ) and the Fair and Accurate Credit Transactions Act ( FACTA ), particularly 15 U.S.C. 1681c-2, which requires consumer reporting agencies to block or delete information reported without written consent. You have failed to ensure maximum possible accuracy, as required under 15 U.S.C. 1681e ( b ). The reporting of unauthorized data also breaches 15 U.S.C. 1681b, which governs permissible purposes for obtaining and reporting consumer data. The inaccuracies have caused harm to my creditworthiness, and despite providing documentation, these errors remain uncorrected.

Company: EQUIFAX, INC.
State: PA

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 account listed without my expressed written consent.

Company: EQUIFAX, INC.
State: SC

Complaint narrative:
I am submitting this complaint against Equifax for continuing to report inaccurate and misleading information in violation of the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ). 

The account listed above remains on my Equifax credit file with the following reporting : Status : Charged Off ( derogatory ) Balance : {$0.00} This reporting is contradictory and misleading. It unfairly penalizes me with a derogatory charge-off even though the balance has been updated to zero. 

XXXX XXXX official response to the CFPB ( dated XX/XX/XXXX ) confirms : The account was charged off in XXXX. 

XXXX ceased collections on XX/XX/XXXX. 

The account was updated to reflect {$0.00} balance and settled/less than full balance. 

Despite this, Equifax continues to display the account as a charge-off, which misrepresents its true status and violates FCRAs requirement for maximum possible accuracy under 607 ( b ).

Failure of Reasonable Reinvestigation : I have filed multiple disputes with Equifax regarding this account. Each time, Equifax has returned a generic verified as accurate response without supplying the method of verification required by FCRA 611 ( a ) ( 6 ) ( B ) ( iii ). 

Equifax has relied only on automated responses from XXXX via e-OSCAR, rather than conducting a reasonable reinvestigation as required under the law. 

I also submitted an FTC Identity Theft Report ( # XXXX ), yet Equifax failed to properly block the account or provide protections under FCRA 605B.

Violations : FCRA 611 ( a ) : Failure to properly reinvestigate and provide the method of verification.

FCRA 607 ( b ) : Failure to ensure maximum possible accuracy in reporting.

FCRA 605B : Failure to block disputed information related to identity theft.

Complaint narrative:
I am addressing the issue with regarding the noncompliance. This is a violation of my privacy with my consumer report, since I control what is listed and what is not, that is considered identity theft. As per the Fair Credit Reporting Act, particularly under 15 U.S.C. 1681n, there exists statutory civil liability for willful noncompliance. This provision stipulates that any person who willfully fails to comply with consumer protection requirements may be liable to the affected consumer for damages, including potential punitive measures and reimbursement of legal costs. This underscores the importance of addressing and rectifying this matter promptly and responsibly.

Complaint narrative:
I previously submitted a letter addressing the inaccuracies and unfamiliar items on my credit report. However, it has now been over 30 days, and I have not received a response. It appears my disputes are being disregarded, which raises serious concerns. Under Section 611 ( a ) of the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ), credit reporting agencies are required to investigate disputed items within 30 days. If they fail to do so, these items must be removed from my report. 

As more than 30 days have passed, I expect immediate updates to my credit report reflecting the removal of these disputed accounts. Should this not be addressed promptly, I will be left with no option but to pursue legal action to resolve this issue, as the continued inaction has caused significant stress. 

Moreover, I was affected by the Equifax, Experian, and TransUnion data breaches, which heightens my concern regarding the security and handling of my personal information.

This letter serves as my official dispute of fraudulent accounts currently reported under my name. These accounts were never opened, never authorized, and are entirely false. Their inclusion not only violates my rights but also creates damaging and misleading information on my credit report. The continued reporting of these accounts is harmful and unjust. They have caused unnecessary harm to my financial credibility and impose a burden that is neither warranted nor lawful. My credit history must reflect accuracy and integrity at all times.

Company: EQUIFAX, INC.
State: TN

Complaint narrative:
I am respectfully requesting a review of the late payment currently being reported on my credit file as open or unresolved, as I believe this information to be inaccurate and misleading. This reporting is factually inaccurate and materially misleading. The payment in question has either been fully resolved, or I was never late as alleged. The continued reporting of this item as delinquent constitutes a violation of the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ), specifically 15 U.S.C. 1681e ( b ), which mandates consumer reporting agencies to ensure the maximum possible accuracy of the information furnished. The presence of this inaccurate entry has directly harmed my credit standing, resulting in adverse effects on my credit score and potentially impeding future opportunities related to credit, housing, and employment. Accordingly, I demand a full investigation of this matter, and if the late payment can not be conclusively verified as accurate and timely, it must be immediately corrected or permanently deleted from my credit report.
