Consumer complaint received 2023-02-10 00:00:00
Product: Credit reporting, credit repair services, or other personal consumer reports — Credit reporting
Issue: Improper use of your report — Reporting company used your report improperly
Company: EQUIFAX, INC.
State: TX

Complaint narrative:
I would like to file a complaint against three credit reporting agencies for continuing to reporting a bankruptcy which that was verified through a third-party. not from my own filings or from a court. This is a violation of my rights as a consumer and a violation of the Fair Credit Reporting Act. This violates Section 603 ( q ) ( 3 ) ( A ) ( i ) ( I ) of the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ) which states that a credit reporting agency shall not furnish any items of credit information unless the source of such information is a person who has been certified as an agent of such agency. 

Furthermore, similar court cases, such as Mitchel v. Experian Information Solutions , Inc. ( 2011 ) have also found such practice to be in violation of the FCRA. In this case, the court noted that the credit bureau must get its information directly from a certified source to provide accurate information. Therefore, I believe the credit bureau should not have reported bankruptcy which was verified through a third-party and violated my rights under the FCRA.

I demand that the credit bureaus immediately remove the bankruptcy entry from my credit report. In addition, I demand that you provide me with an updated copy of my credit report. Furthermore, I demand that you provide me with a written apology detailing your mistake and the corrective action taken to address this issue. 

Sincerely, XXXX XXXX

Complaint narrative:
INFORMATION ON MY BANK : Bank of America XXXX XXXX XXXX Florida XXXX Via Facsimile : XXXX Re : Bank of America Auto Loan Account Request for Correction of Credit Report Time Period Ending : XX/XX/2017 Reason for Correction : Missed payment was due to a Bank of America Auto-pay glitch that I had no control over. This one missed 30-day payment history is destroying my credit rating. 

PEOPLE I HAVE CONTACTED : Bank of America chat representative via XXXX, called the XXXX number given to me for auto loans and they told me to write a letter to the address stated above. Filed numerous disputes with credit agencies, and filed a complaint with the Office of the Comptroller of Currency who directed me to CFPB.

BANKS LACK OF RESPONSE : The bank has not responded to me. All of the complaints I have filed with the credit agencies never change my account and there isnt a reason. I got to pick from a multiple-choice list and that serves as my statement on the credit report. The closest description I found was delinquency due to disputed billing procedures. 

I want this mark removed from my credit report. I have a big event coming soon that I will need to apply for credit for and this one little 30-day missed payment, a payment that was missed due to the bank 's autopsy glitch, is destroying my credit rating. If they won't remove it, I want an explanation as to why. I'm not asking for a good-faith removal, something that Bank of America does NOT do, I'm asking because it shouldn't be there to begin with, this is Bank of America 's mistake, not mine. It's hard to believe what one small missed payment can do to one 's credit rating. I want it fixed. I have been trying for years to get this fixed and now it needs to be removed.

Company: EQUIFAX, INC.
State: MA

Complaint narrative:
XXXX XXXX has been lowering my credit limit on my card. The most recent letter states it was because I dont have the score necessary to maintain the limit due to : negative public records, delinquency, not having credit open long enough etc and that they are using Equifax for my score and it is reporting a score of XXXX as of XX/XX/XXXX. This is not true I have no late papyments, negative public record or negative items in my report. I confirmed with Equifax online and over the phone. They are showing my score as XXXX and per the Equifax rep on the phone yesterday theyre is no way they are getting that low score for you from us there is nothing in your credit report to generate that low score. I have called XXXXXXXX XXXX  multiple times and they can not or will not give me an answer as to what is driving my score down on their systems or what the negative items the letter references are exactly. At one point an account manager XXXX got flustered with my questions and lied to me saying she was transferring me to the credit department but instead just sent me back to main customer service line. While in the phone at another point with a customer service representative XXXX he stated at one point there was an issue with the system feeding in wrong scores but that should have been fixed and was a while ago. 
I submitted the dispute of the score through XXXX but got a letter on XX/XX/XXXX saying everything was accurate without any further details or supporting evidence or documentation. 
My feeling is that there must be some sort of system issue where scores are being mixed up or they are pulling in a similarly named persons score. They stated that the credit lowering process is automated by the system and no one is reviewing it and based on my calls its is sounding like nobody at XXXX customer care knows how it works. There looks to be the possibility of it is a system issue to have a greater impact than just myself and the process of them regularly lowering the credit limits to within a few XXXX dollars of the outstanding balance that has always been paid in time could lead others to go over their credit limits and negatively impact their accurate score by using more of the percentage of total credit available. It looks to be to be both unfair and deceptive as the score is wrong and they will not give me a complete and supported answer i to what is the cause of it, while trying to just get rid of me on the phones as opposed to giving real answers to find the truth. 

I do apologize for any typos and formatting errors in this write up as I am doing it on my phone.

Company: Experian Information Solutions Inc.
State: NE

Complaint narrative:
I am writing to file a complaint regarding the inaccuracies in my entire consumer report that have been provided by Experian. I have been disputing this information for years now, and I am tired of their refusal to investigate and correct these inaccuracies. 

I have enclosed a copy of my dispute letter, which I sent to Experian, in which I explain the errors and inaccuracies in my consumer report, including multiple charge-off statuses, inquiries, incorrect balances, a misspelled name, and more. I request that Experian investigate these inaccuracies and make the necessary corrections to my credit report. I will use the CFPB to verify myself. 

To date, I have not received a response from Experian or any indication that the errors have been corrected. I am concerned that these inaccuracies are preventing me from obtaining credit or entering into new transactions, and my family is suffering as a result. 

I respectfully request that the CFPB investigate this matter and take any necessary action to ensure that my credit report accurately reflects my credit history. I would like to see a resolution that includes the removal of all inaccuracies from my credit report and any other necessary corrections to ensure that my credit report accurately reflects my credit history. 

Thank you for your prompt attention to this matter. I look forward to hearing from you soon. 


Sincerely, XXXX XXXX
