Issue: Problem with a company's investigation into an existing problem — Their investigation did not fix an error on your report
Company: EQUIFAX, INC.
State: NC

Complaint narrative:
In XX/XX/year>, the account XXXX  XXXX XXXX was permanently deleted from my credit history as the result of a prior formal dispute and an FTC Identity Theft Report ( FTC Report # XXXX ) confirming that the account was opened without my authorization. However, in XX/XX/year>, the account was unlawfully reinserted into my credit report without prior notice, without the written certification required from the data furnisher, and without my consent.

This reinsertion violates multiple provisions of the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ), including : 15 U.S.C. 1681c-2 ( FCRA 605B ) Requires blocking of identity theftrelated information within 4 business days of receiving an identity theft report. This was ignored.

15 U.S.C. 1681i ( a ) ( 5 ) ( B ) ( FCRA 611 ( a ) ( 5 ) ( B ) ) Prohibits reinsertion of previously deleted information unless the data furnisher provides a written certification of its accuracy and completeness. No such certification was provided.

15 U.S.C. 1681s-2 ( a ) ( 3 ) ( FCRA 623 ( a ) ( 3 ) ) Requires data furnishers to correct and update information previously disputed by the consumer. This was not done.

15 U.S.C. 1681i ( d ) ( FCRA 611 ( d ) ) Requires the credit reporting agency to notify the consumer in writing within 5 business days of any reinsertion. I received no such notice.

15 U.S.C. 1681b Limits the permissible purposes for furnishing or using a consumer credit report. This account was reported without any permissible purpose or my consent.

The unlawful reinsertion has caused measurable harm, including : A significant drop in my credit score. 

Disruption of a pending mortgage approval process. 

Emotional distress and loss of time due to repeated disputes.

Company: EQUIFAX, INC.

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.

Issue: Improper use of your report — Reporting company used your report improperly
Company: EQUIFAX, INC.
State: IN

Complaint narrative:
Ive recently discovered several late payment notations on my credit report that are completely false, and I want to make it clear that I will not tolerate these inaccuracies being used to misjudge my financial character. These harmful entries are dragging down my credit score, affecting my access to opportunities, and putting unnecessary strain on my mental and emotional health. Some of these alleged late payments were in fact made on time, while others may stem from clerical mistakes or internal processing delays that were never communicated to me. The Fair Credit Reporting Act requires that every piece of data on a consumer report be factually accurate and verifiable by original documentation. That means if these late payment entries can not be backed up with real, dated billing statements or signed agreements, they should not be reported at all. I am demanding that these entries be immediately corrected or removed, depending on what the documentation proves. If the credit reporting agencies or furnishers continue to ignore this matter, I will interpret that as a willful and deliberate violation of federal lawand respond accordingly. I deserve better, and I will fight until this is made right.

Company: WELLS FARGO & COMPANY
State: TX

Complaint narrative:
On XX/XX/2025, I attempted to make a purchase of approximately {$2.00} at XXXX XXXX XXXX shop located at XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX. XXXX, TX, XXXX I presented my debit card to pay, but the cashier informed me that I could not use my debit card unless my total purchase was at least {$5.00}. 

This was a point-of-sale transaction with a debit card tied to my checking account, not a credit card. My understanding is that merchants are prohibited from imposing a minimum purchase amount on debit card transactions under network rules ( e.g., XXXX, XXXX ). 

I believe this merchants policy violates these rules, and I am requesting that this practice be reviewed and addressed

Complaint narrative:
My accounts was never late! I have had exceptional payment history with XXXX  XXXX and all payments were placed on Autopay. This late payment that is reporting is a result on a systematic error on their end processing my payment. This was clearly a billing error made my the company and is not a reflection of my payment experience which violates USC Code 1681eb. This error has caused severe hard to my reputation, my character, my mode of living and to my family! I demand the late payment reported to be removed/updated. They are not in compliance with the following law. 15 USC 1666b and its requirements set the standards and the guidance for a creditor to treat a payment as late, yet they are reporting a payment as late and they did not comply with the law! 15 USC 1666b ( a ) Time to make payments A creditor may not treat a payment on a credit card account under an open end consumer credit plan as late for any purpose, unless the creditor has adopted reasonable procedures designed to ensure that each periodic statement including the information required by section 1637 ( b ) of this title is mailed or delivered to the consumer not later than 21 days before the payment due date. I have requested proof that this information was mailed or delivered 21 days before the payment due date and this information was requested in good faith pursuant rule 1002 and It was never provided. This is unfair, illegal, fraudulent, and not equitable to me as a consumer!
