State: CA

Complaint narrative:
Wells Fargo claims I have missed a payment. I have not. I did underpay, because I was not aware that the payment amount had increased, but have actually been overpaying for a significant period of time. I can not figure out why Wells Fargo believes I owe them a full months payment, and they will not explain it to me. I have asked them twice over the phone and twice in writing to investigate and explain this to me in writing, but they have not responded. Instead, they continue to call me frequently ( and I do not answer ).

Company: EQUIFAX, INC.
State: IN

Complaint narrative:
I am writing to formally raise a concern regarding an error on my client 's credit report. My reports have been negatively impacted by an incorrect update to the payment date on a charged-off account, despite having settled and paid the account several years ago. 
I noticed that the payment date on the aforementioned charged-off account was updated on credit report. This update is inaccurate, as the account was settled and paid on. Due to this incorrect update, my credit scores have experienced an unwarranted decrease, which is causing significant distress and potential financial repercussions. 

Action Taken : Prior to reaching out to the CFPB, I attempted to resolve this issue directly with the credit bureaus. Despite providing evidence of the settlement and the original payment date, the error has not been rectified.

Account Type : Charged Off - Account Filed Date : XX/XX/XXXX - Account Amount : XXXX - Account Closed Date : XX/XX/XXXX - Comments : BK OF AMER  '' Above is the only information the SEC was able to pull from my background check in order to complete my registration they are needing verification information that this debt has been resolved. 

In XXXX or XXXX the balance of the account was transferred to my now ex-wife 's card. Over the next year THAT card was paid off. Her card was not with BOA it was an independent card and I do not remember what kind it was, maybe a XXXX. 

Anyways, it was not charged off to a collection agency. My employer is needing paperwork to complete my hiring process. When I have contacted BOA, their automated system will not allow passage unless you have an account number or a SS number. This account is so old the system does not recognize my SS. The only department I can get to a live person is the CC application department and they do not have access to archived records. When/If they transfer me, it just puts me back into the automated system que. 
I also went into a local BOA branch, and they can not pull up information on this account again, because of the age of it. They could only give me a number to call which of course brought me back to the gatekeeping automated system. 

I need to speak to a live person in both the Credit Card archive department and the Mortgage department to get paperwork for both the closed-out card and the foreclosed mortgage from XXXX.

Complaint narrative:
Dear Sir/Madam, I am writing to inform you that my rights under the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ) are being violated due to inaccuracies in my credit report maintained by your agency. These inaccuracies stem from a violation of several key provisions of the FCRA, as outlined below : 15 U.S.C. 1681 Section 602 - Right to Privacy : This section asserts my right to privacy regarding my credit information. I have not provided written consent for the accounts in question to be furnished to your agency.

15 U.S.C. 1681 Section 604 ( a ) ( 2 ) - Consent Requirement : A consumer reporting agency such as yours can not furnish an account without the written consent of the consumer, which, in this case, is me.

15 U.S.C. 1681a - Definitions - Rule of Construction Exclusion : The definition of a " consumer report '' in this section excludes any report containing information solely regarding transactions or experiences between the consumer ( myself ) and the entity making the report. Therefore, these late payments should not be included in my credit report. 

15 U.S.C. 1666b - Prohibition on Treating Payment as Late : This section prohibits creditors from treating payments on a credit card account as late for any purpose. Hence, the late payment information reported for these accounts is in direct violation of this provision. 

Additionally, according to Section 604 of the FCRA ( 15 U.S.C. 1681b ), I have the right to control who has access to my credit information. Credit reporting agencies should have my permission, typically in writing, to collect and share details about my financial accounts. 

I kindly request the removal of the following inaccurate accounts from my credit report : XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX I expect your prompt attention to this matter and request that you investigate these discrepancies immediately.
