Company: EQUIFAX, INC.
State: LA

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 XXXXXXXX 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.

To ensure that your company is reporting accounts 100 % accurately, I would like to know the procedures used to investigate these inaccurate accounts. Did you even conduct an investigation because it is still not reporting 100 % correctly? 
Its sad that your company would ignore the FTC guidelines in regard to your investigation efforts. I wonder if other consumers are being affected by your lack of investigation.

Company: Experian Information Solutions Inc.
State: FL

Complaint narrative:
I want to stress that I did not give written permission for these specific transactions to be included in my consumer report. At no point did I authorize these entries, and their presence on my report is unwarranted. Consequently, I am formally requesting that these accounts be blocked and removed from my report immediately. 

It is important to clarify that this request is not due to any error or negligence on my part. There has been no oversight or misunderstanding on my end. Instead, this issue arises solely from the fact that I did not explicitly authorize the inclusion of these transactions in my report. I am diligent about maintaining the accuracy and privacy of my financial records, and these unauthorized entries compromise that integrity. 

I trust that you will handle this matter with the urgency and seriousness it deserves. Please confirm the removal of these transactions from my report as soon as possible. Thank you for your prompt attention to this issue.

Complaint narrative:
Case number XXXX On XX/XX/XXXX, XXXXXXXX XXXX Capital One XXXX XXXX [ CEO ] was contacted via email as to why they denied me extension of my own credits. In federal law it states that I can not be denied an extension of my own credit, if I am not denied then thats discrimination because employees are selling original promissory notes and keeping all proceeds, dividends and interest do back to the lender which is me, myself, and I. They turn around and purchase consumer reports which are really considered income from the consumer reporting agencies. Income is defined as specie of money which in turn creates more specie of money. They create ghost decedent accounts to not only XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX  but also rob them of their labor by way of a default partnership without just compensation. This is unlawful and should be classified ad Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organization.

But then they went as far to say that We denied you but we made an error within upholding our denial! This is corruption at its best. All will be listed as witnesses in this conspiracy.
