Company: EQUIFAX, INC.
State: CA

Complaint narrative:
This is my 2nd letter that I am a victim of identity theft and I write to dispute certain accounts in my file resulting from the crime. The accounts I am disputing do not relate to any transactions obtaining any possession of goods, services or money that I have made or authorized. Please block the reporting of any information in my credit file that resulted from an alleged identity theft. 

These accounts are unknown to me. Also, the information you provided on some accounts are DELETED from other bureaus and I have doubts in their accuracy and the reported payment history on some accounts are a mystery to me. As required by FCRA 605B ( c ) ( 1 ) ( C ) Authority to decline or rescind. 

( 1 ) In general. A consumer reporting agency may decline to block, or may rescind any block, of information relating to a consumer under this section, if the consumer reporting agency reasonably determines the following : ( A ) the information was blocked in error or a block was requested by the consumer in error ; ( B ) the information was blocked, or a block was requested by the consumer, on the basis of a material misrepresentation of fact by the consumer relevant to the request to block ; or ( C ) the consumer obtained possession of goods, services, or money as a result of the blocked transaction or transactions. 

Again, the accounts I am disputing do not relate to any transactions obtaining any possession of goods, services or money that I have made or authorized. Please block or remove the reporting of any information in my credit file that resulted from an alleged identity theft.

Issue: Incorrect information on your report — Account information incorrect
Company: EQUIFAX, INC.
State: MI

Complaint narrative:
XXXX XXXX  reported a charged off credit card in my name on XX/XX/XXXX and continued reporting this charge off every month until XX/XX/XXXX. For those months XXXX XXXX  reported the identical information, in other words there were no updates. Yet XXXX XXXX  continued to provide updates of the identical information every month for those 6 years to the credit bureaus XXXX, XXXX and Equifax. 
I have two questions ; Question 1 : Why did XXXX XXXX  continue to update this charge off from XX/XX/XXXX through XX/XX/XXXX with the identical information, there was no updated information to provide. 

Question 2 : Why did XXXX XXXX  stop reporting this account in XX/XX/XXXX. 

I believe the reporting of identical information although there was no need to do so, was to cause me more harm knowing that the FICO algorithm would score each update of the Charge off as a recent charge off. In other words XXXX XXXX  is aware that updating a charge off from XXXX in XXXX the FICO algorithm will score that as a charge off for XXXX. Causing serious harm to my credit score.

Complaint narrative:
I have loan with XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX. I have always made my payments on time. For some reason, I realized that there were 30 days late payments on my credit report for the month of XX/XX/XXXX. I have read enough to understand my rights. The Experian Credit Bureau is required to verify for themselves, but they failed to neither verify nor update me about these complaints. I believe the company is violating Sections 616 & 617 of the FCRA. I believe theyre unwilfully noncomplying with federal law & this issue is creating a ton of emotional physical stress, as required under Section 609 ( a ) ( 1 ) ( A ) Disclosures to consumers [ 15 U.S.C. 1681g ] ( ( a ) Information on file ; sources ; report recipients. Experian shall, upon request, and subject to 610 ( a ) ( 1 ) [ 1681h ], clearly and accurately disclose to the consumer. If the consumer to whom the file relates requests that the first 5 digits of the social security number ( or similar identification number ) of the consumer not be included in the disclosure and the consumer reporting agency has received appropriate proof of the identity of the requester, the consumer reporting agency shall so truncate such number in such disclosure. & Section 611 ( a ) ( 1 ) ( A ) Procedure in case of disputed accuracy [ 15 U.S.C. 1681i ] ( a ) Reinvestigations of Disputed Information. If the completeness or accuracy of any item of information contained in a my file at Experian is disputed by the consumer and the consumer notifies the agency directly, or indirectly through a creditor, the Bureaus shall, free of charge, conduct a reasonable reinvestigation to determine whether the disputed information is inaccurate and record the current status of the disputed information, or delete the item from my file in accordance with paragraph ( 5 ), before the end of the 30-day period beginning on the date on which the agency receives the notice of the dispute from the consumer or creditor. Id like this matter resolved ASAP as it is impacting my health & wellbeing. Please update the late payment from this account. Below is the account with erroneous information and Id like remedied ASAP.
