Issue: Improper use of your report — Credit inquiries on your report that you don't recognize
Company: EQUIFAX, INC.
State: IL

Complaint narrative:
Let me be direct I never applied for credit, services, or any transaction with this company that would warrant them pulling my credit report. I never signed or submitted any application, nor did I provide verbal or written consent authorizing access to my credit file. 

Under FCRA Section 604, a party must have a legitimate reason and consumer authorization to access a credit report. This company had neither. This means their inquiry constitutes an unauthorized pull plain and simple.

Whether this was the result of internal error, misidentification, or even potential identity theft, it is your legal obligation as a credit reporting agency to investigate and remove any inquiry that does not meet the FCRAs standards.

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

Complaint narrative:
My account is showing that I have 5 late payments for my XXXX XXXX XXXX during XX/XX/2023 - 30 days, XXXX XXXX 30 days, XXXX XXXX- 30 days, XXXX XXXX- 30 days, XXXX XXXX  30 days. This is inaccurate reporting information that they are reporting and when the account was open these late payments weren't on my account so I'm not sure where they came from. I previously wrote in and had them removed and they were, but now they're back on. 

Under the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ), specifically 1681s-2 ( a ) ( 5 ) ( B ) ( ii ), a furnisher of information has an obligation to investigate and ensure that any information it provides about a consumers account is accurate, complete, and properly verified. 

My account was paid in full and closed, and I expect that any information being reported reflects this status accurately. Pursuant to the FCRA, I am hereby notifying you of the need to review your records and ensure that the status of this account is correctly reported. This request applies to any data furnished by XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX to the consumer reporting agencies. 

I am relying upon your compliance with the requirements of the FCRA to review, investigate, and update the account status where necessary. Upon completion of your investigation, I request that you provide a written confirmation of your findings and any corrections made. 

Thank you for your prompt attention to this matter. I expect a timely and thorough response as required by federal law.Please remove these late payments.

Issue: Problem with a company's investigation into an existing problem — Their investigation did not fix an error on your report
Company: LEXISNEXIS
State: NY

Complaint narrative:
On XX/XX/XXXX, I received XXXX separate responses regarding a XXXX  record that appears on my credit file. 

First, LexisNexis stated that they obtained my XXXX  information from XXXX. However, I contacted the XXXX XXXX XXXXXXXX, and they provided a letter clearly stating that they do not report any information to XXXX  for the purpose of credit reporting, nor do they share data with LexisNexis or any consumer reporting agency. This means LexisNexis is reporting information that was not directly provided or verified by the court. 

Second, XXXX  stated that the XXXX  listing was verified by the court. I again reached out to the XXXX XXXX  XXXX, which confirmed in writing that they do not verify or report any information to XXXX or any credit bureau. Therefore, the verification claim by XXXX is false and misleading. 

I also reached out to both XXXX XXXX XXXX  regarding this same issue and received a response from both bureau but unable to access my account. One looks to be recieve on XX/XX/XXXX and the other XXXX both after the 30 days post my request. Their failure to investigate or respond is a violation of my rights under the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ) and further delays the correction of this inaccurate information. 

Additionally, the information listed in XXXX  regarding the alleged XXXX  contains inaccurate details, further contributing to the harm caused by this unverified reporting. 

I did not authorize the reporting of this information, nor was I contacted for verification before it appeared on my credit file. I believe this constitutes inaccurate and unverifiable reporting under the FCRA. 

I am requesting a formal investigation into how this XXXX  was reported and verified, and that the inaccurate information be removed from my credit report by all involved parties.
