Consumer complaint received 2025-05-15 00:00:00
Product: Credit reporting or other personal consumer reports — Credit reporting
Issue: Improper use of your report — Reporting company used your report improperly
Company: EQUIFAX, INC.
State: VA

Complaint narrative:
This account was charged off in XX/XX/year>. However, since that date, it has been repeatedly updated each month as a " charged off '' account, reflecting ongoing payment history. This is both inaccurate and misleading. A charged-off account should not continue to report an active payment history, as this implies ongoing activity on an account that has been closed and written off.

Such reporting inaccurately influences the payment history and may misrepresent the status and age of the debt, thereby potentially affecting the statute of limitations. This misreporting is not only misleading but also a violation of my rights under the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ).

Despite multiple attempts to contact the credit bureau to have this information corrected, the matter has not been properly investigated or resolved. Because of continued failure to correct this error, I am demanding a deletion of the following account : Creditor : XXXX XXXX Account Number : XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX

State: TX

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.
