Product: Credit reporting or other personal consumer reports — Credit reporting
Issue: Problem with a company's investigation into an existing problem — Investigation took more than 30 days
Company: EQUIFAX, INC.
State: LA

Complaint narrative:
Hi. I am having a lot of issues getting Equifax to correct inaccuracies on my credit report. I have sent numerous letters to them providing every piece of information they asked for yet they continue to send what seems to be stall letters while never actually investigating and correcting or deleting the accounts. I am very frustrated because it is making it difficult for me to get approved for credit. I have also reached out to the creditors who are reporting misinformation and they too have not properly investigated and all show willful violation of the laws that govern them. I need this information removed from my report immediately. I previously filed a complain with the CFPB, BBB and FTC and will move forward with other agencies if this is not fixed immediately.

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 TILA US Code 1666B since I was never late.

I recently reviewed my consumer report and noticed an incorrect late payment record on my XXXX XXXX  account [ XXXX ]. I have always maintained timely payments on this account. Under the Fair Credit Billing Act ( FCBA ) and the Truth in Lending Act ( TILA ), creditors are required to accurately report consumer transactions and provide a mechanism for correcting errors in a timely manner. Please conduct an investigation into this matter, and if you can not provide documentary evidence of these supposed late payments, I demand these payments to be updated to on time as they should be as I was NEVER late. I expect these updates to be made promptly, in compliance with the law.

Company: GOLDMAN SACHS BANK USA
State: CA

Complaint narrative:
On XX/XX/XXXX I opened a dispute for the amount of XXXX for the merchant Comma for an item I Returned to Sender via XXXX 5 months earlier. 

I was given a provisional credit for the full amount, and reassured that Goldman Sachs / Apple Card would handle the rest from there.

At no time in the last 12 months have I received in writing any information from Goldman Sachs / Apple Card as to why they have refused or declined the dispute. I can't even tell you if they reached out to the Merchant to confirm my concerns or to ask for reply from them to see if the dispute is valid.

I've submitted Proof of Delivery / Return with every attempt, along with a statement of Facts telling them what happened and why I was disputing the claim. 

I've had to reopen this dispute now 5 times over and above the initial request, for a grand total of 6 times. These are the dates I requested the disputes. 

XX/XX/XXXX XX/XX/XXXX XX/XX/XXXX XX/XX/XXXX XX/XX/XXXX XX/XX/XXXX Every time I open the dispute is 30-60 minutes of my life gone, and explaining to an agent what happened and why I'm attempting to dispute the transaction. 

Goldman Sachs / Apple Card were just fined nearly XXXX XXXX dollars for this exact reason, but even 2 months after that was announced they continue to deceive and disrespect their paying customers with no follow up or information on what's going on with the disputes we've requested. 

I just want a refund for an item I returned, and to move on with my life!
