Consumer complaint received 2024-06-14 00:00:00
Product: Credit reporting or other personal consumer reports — Credit reporting
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: GA

Complaint narrative:
I am writing to formally lodge a complaint concerning the mishandling of my credit report following identity theft and subsequent disputes, under the purview of the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau ( CFPB ). This complaint is filed under the protections and rights afforded to me by the following federal laws : - 15 U.S. Code 1602 ( p ) Definitions under the Truth in Lending Act ( TILA ) - 15 U.S. Code 1601 Congressional findings and declaration of purpose - 15 U.S. Code 1692 Fair Debt Collection Practices Act ( FDCPA ) - 15 U.S. Code 1666 ( b ) Correction of billing errors I have been a victim of identity theft, which has led to unauthorized hard inquiries and the creation of fraudulent accounts on my credit reports maintained by XXXX, Equifax, and XXXX. I have taken the necessary steps to address this issue, including filing a police report and submitting a report to the Federal Trade Commission ( FTC ). Copies of these reports were sent to the aforementioned credit reporting agencies to notify them of the fraudulent activities affecting my credit files. Despite my efforts, including filing numerous disputes and opening several investigations with XXXX, Equifax, and XXXX, the unauthorized accounts and inquiries remain on my credit reports. These inaccuracies are adversely impacting my credit score and, consequently, my financial well-being. The persistence of these errors violates my rights under the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act ( 15 U.S. Code 1692 ) and the Fair Credit Billing Act ( 15 U.S. Code 1666 ( b ) ), which mandate the timely correction of billing errors and inaccurate information in consumer reports. The lack of appropriate action by the credit reporting agencies also undermines the objectives of the Truth in Lending Act ( 15 U.S. Code 1601 and 1602 ( p ) ), which aims to promote informed use of credit and ensure fair and accurate credit billing and reporting practices. I kindly request the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau to intervene in this matter and take the necessary actions to ensure : 1. Immediate removal of all unauthorized hard inquiries and fraudulent accounts from my credit reports. 2. Rectification of any inaccuracies in my credit reports caused by these fraudulent activities. 3. Assurance that the credit reporting agencies comply with the regulations set forth under federal laws to protect consumers from identity theft and credit report inaccuracies. Enclosed are copies of the police report, I trust that the CFPB will take my complaint seriously and act promptly to rectify the situation. Thank you for your attention to this urgent matter. I look forward to your timely response and resolution. Sincerely, XXXX XXXX

Complaint narrative:
In the quiet humdrum of everyday life, a sudden jolt shattered the tranquility : I had become a victim of identity theft. Like a thief in the night, unseen hands had stolen my personal information, plunging me into a bewildering maze of uncertainty. With each fraudulent transaction and unauthorized account, the breach of trust cut deep, leaving me grappling with the unsettling reality of a violated identity. Yet, in the midst of chaos, a glimmer of resilience emerged, a resolve to reclaim what was rightfully mine and restore the harmony stolen by unseen adversaries. These are the following accounts need to be removed :

Issue: Problem with a company's investigation into an existing problem — Difficulty submitting a dispute or getting information about a dispute over the phone
Company: EQUIFAX, INC.
State: WA

Complaint narrative:
Equifax shows late payments on an account with which I had a perfect payment record. On XX/XX/XXXX and XX/XX/XXXX, I tried to dispute these charges using their online system, which is poorly designed and does not enable customers to properly document their claims. Then the system kept spontaneously logging me out without saving the data I had spent considerable time entering. I called their help line and they said, " just try logging in again. '' I don't have more time to waste. Their system is broken and even their complaint system is broken. If a company makes a mistake and ruins your credit ( and life ), THERE IS NO WAY TO FIX IT. The idea that you can review, dispute, and correct your credit report is only a pleasant myth because YOU CAN'T.

Complaint narrative:
Hello, I went into XXXX XXXX dealership on XX/XX/XXXX with a pre-approval letter from my credit union and informed them that I would be purchasing a card via check from my credit union. They asked for my social security number anyways because they work with the dealership and that they could access the pre-approval. I asked why they would need my social if I did not want them to check my credit, since I already had a pre-approval and check to pay for the car. They said it was standard procedure to check identity and that they would not run my credit. I reiterated over XXXX times that I did not give them permission to check my credit because there was no need to. They assured me that the would not and that they could not by law without my permission. As I am waiting in the dealership lobby, I get credit monitoring alerts saying that i have multiple new hard inquires that were just added because the dealership ran my credit. I immediately stormed into the finance managers office asking what happened and reminded them that I did not give them permission to run my credit since I already have a pre-approval and check through my credit union. They immediately started trying to lie and make excuses about why they had to run my credit. I let them know that again for the sixth time that I did not give permission and that what they did was illegal. So here I am now trying to get this corrected. I have all of the documentation showing my pre-approval letter from my credit union before entering the dealership and also proof that I paid with check from the same credit union. The people at XXXX XXXX in XXXX are doing illegal business and this must be taken care of.
