Consumer complaint received 2025-02-26 00:00:00
Product: Credit reporting or other personal consumer reports — Credit reporting
Issue: Improper use of your report — Credit inquiries on your report that you don't recognize
Company: EQUIFAX, INC.
State: IL

Complaint narrative:
I am writing to file a formal complaint regarding fraudulent accounts that remain on my credit report despite my repeated attempts to resolve this matter. I have contacted TransUnion multiple times and provided all necessary documentation, including an FTC fraud report. However, these fraudulent accounts have not been removed, and I have not received any follow-up action on my case. 

When I initially reported these accounts as fraudulent, I was informed that the accounts would be removed within 4 days upon submitting the required FTC report. However, no changes have been made to my credit report, and I continue to see these fraudulent accounts listed. This is a direct violation of the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ), which requires that credit reporting agencies investigate and correct inaccuracies or fraudulent information within 30 days of receiving a dispute. 

Under FCRA ( 15 U.S.C. 1681i ), credit reporting agencies must remove or correct fraudulent information if it is disputed. Additionally, when a consumer submits proof of identity theft or fraud, such as an FTC fraud report, the FCRA ( 15 U.S.C. 1681c-2 ) mandates that the credit reporting agency must remove the fraudulent information within 4 business days. I have provided all necessary documentation, including the FTC report, and I was informed that these fraudulent accounts would be removed within the specified timeframe. However, no action has been taken.

Furthermore, the Fair and Accurate Credit Transactions Act ( FACTA ), which amends the FCRA, requires that fraudulent information be removed promptly upon receiving the necessary documentation, and certainly within the 4-day requirement. The failure to remove these fraudulent accounts within the specified time is a clear violation of both the FCRA and FACTA, which were designed to protect consumers from the long-term consequences of identity theft.

I kindly request that you take immediate action to remove these fraudulent accounts from my credit report and provide written confirmation that the removal has occurred. If this matter is not resolved within the next 30 days, as required by law, I will be forced to pursue further legal action to enforce my rights under the FCRA and FACTA.

Thank you for your prompt attention to this matter. I expect a timely resolution in compliance with the law.

Complaint narrative:
Subject : Dispute of Late Payment Reporting on My XXXX XXXX Account Dear Sir or Madam, I am writing to formally dispute the inclusion of late payments on my credit report for my XXXX XXXX account. Pursuant to the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ), 15 U.S. Code 1681 et seq., I request an immediate correction and removal of any such inaccurate or unfairly reported late payments.

Under 15 U.S. Code 1681a ( d ) ( 2 ) ( A ) ( i ), a " consumer report '' excludes any report containing information solely related to transactions or experiences between the consumer and the entity making the report. As such, late payments that do not impact creditworthiness beyond the direct relationship between XXXX XXXX and myself should not be reported to consumer reporting agencies as adverse credit events. 
Furthermore, under 15 U.S. Code 1681s-2 ( a ) ( 1 ) ( A ), furnishers of credit information must not report information that they know or have reasonable cause to believe is inaccurate. If the reported late payments resulted from extenuating circumstances, billing errors, or delays beyond my control, their inclusion on my credit report would constitute a violation of this provision. 
Additionally, the FCRA grants consumers the right to dispute the completeness and accuracy of any item in their file. Per 15 U.S. Code 1681i ( a ) ( 1 ) ( A ), upon receiving a dispute, a credit information furnisher must conduct a reasonable investigation and delete or correct any information found to be inaccurate or unverifiable. 
Given these legal protections, I formally request that this credit bureau review this matter and remove any late payment not in compliance with the above provisions. Please provide written confirmation of the actions taken within 30 days, as required under FCRA. 
Should you require any further documentation or clarification, please let me know at your earliest convenience. I appreciate your prompt attention to this matter. I have attached a copy of the law, which says that the alleged late payment ( s ) should not be reported on my credit report. I ask you kindly to abide by the law and update my account to be paid as agreed. Failure to do so will result in me taking legal action against your credit bureau. I also ask you to provide verifiable proof of payment records showing that I had late payments on this account. The law clearly states that if you are unable to provide this proof, then this is also additional legal grounds for one to request that these late payments be deleted from my consumer report. 
Sincerely, XXXX XXXX

Complaint narrative:
To Whom It May Concern, I am submitting this complaint against Equifax due to multiple unauthorized, inaccurate, and unfairly reported items on my credit report, which violate my rights under the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ) and the Truth in Lending Act ( TILA ). These inaccuracies are unjustly harming my creditworthiness and financial opportunities.

1. Inaccurate Collection Account The following collection account has appeared on my credit report without my authorization or consent. Under 15 U.S. Code 1681s-2 ( a ), data furnishers are required to ensure the accuracy of the information they report. This account must be removed immediately : XXXX XXXX XXXX ( Account : XXXX ) Reported on XX/XX/XXXX Balance : {$1800.00} XXXX. Closed Account with Unfair Late Payment Marks The following closed account reflects late payment marks that unfairly harm my credit profile and fail to meet reporting standards under 15 U.S. Code 1681b and 1681c : XXXX XXXX  XXXX ( Account Number : XXXXXXXX  ) Balance : {$2700.00} Opened : XX/XX/XXXX These late payment marks must be removed, as they do not meet legal standards for fair and accurate reporting. 
XXXX. Inaccurate and Unfair Late Payment Reporting by Equifax Equifax has inaccurately reported late payments for XXXX, XXXX, and XX/XX/XXXX on my mortgage account with XXXX XXXX XXXX ( Account : XXXX ). These payments were misreported despite the fact that my billing statements were not provided at least 21 days before the due date, violating 15 U.S. Code 1666b of the Truth in Lending Act ( TILA ).

This misreporting also violates : 15 U.S. Code 1681i Requiring credit reporting agencies to conduct proper investigations of disputes.

15 U.S. Code 1681s-2 Mandating data furnishers to ensure accuracy and promptly correct errors. 
I have already disputed these inaccuracies with Equifax, but no corrective action has been taken. These errors must be removed immediately to ensure compliance with federal law and prevent further unwarranted damage to my credit score.

4. Request for Immediate Investigation and Correction I formally request that Equifax conduct an immediate investigation and remove the inaccurate and unauthorized items from my credit report. These errors are a direct violation of federal law and continue to cause significant financial harm by limiting my ability to obtain fair credit opportunities. 
I have attached supporting documentation, including my FTC identity theft report ( ( FTC Report Number : XXXX / XXXX ), to substantiate my claims. 
I trust that the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau ( CFPB ) will intervene to ensure that Equifax takes appropriate action to correct these violations and comply with the FCRA and TILA. 
Thank you for your prompt attention to this matter. 
Sincerely,
