Company: EQUIFAX, INC.

Complaint narrative:
These entries are incorrect and do not accurately reflect my actual payment history. I have made multiple attempts to get these discrepancies investigated and corrected, yet no meaningful action has been taken. Despite providing all necessary documentation and following up several times, these errors remain unresolved. This ongoing issue has caused financial stress and has taken a serious toll on my well-being. Dealing with these inaccurate entries has been frustrating and exhausting. Under the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ), I have the right to a credit report that accurately represents my financial history. This includes the prompt correction of outdated or incorrect information. I urge you to take immediate action to update or remove these late payment entries, as failing to do so is a direct violation of my rights under federal law. I appreciate your prompt attention to this matter and expect a resolution as soon as possible.

Product: Credit card — General-purpose credit card or charge card
Issue: Incorrect information on your report — Account status incorrect
Company: AMERICAN EXPRESS COMPANY
State: TN

Complaint narrative:
American Express is reporting inaccurate information on my credit reports in violation of the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ). 

The Amex tradeline ( Acct ending in XXXX ) is coded as charged-off/closed, yet continues to show an active Past Due balance of {$2700.00}. Under Metro 2 reporting standards, once an account is closed and charged off, the Past Due field must be reported as {$0.00}. Reporting a past-due balance on a closed account is inaccurate and misleading. 

Additionally, this account was a business credit card. Unless Amex can provide proof of a signed personal guarantee, it should not appear on my personal credit reports at all. 

On XX/XX/year>, I filed disputes with all three bureaus and sent Amex a direct dispute under FCRA 623 ( a ) ( 8 ). Despite this, the inaccurate reporting remains.

Product: Vehicle loan or lease — Loan
Issue: Problems at the end of the loan or lease — Unable to receive car title or other problem after the loan is paid off
Company: WELLS FARGO & COMPANY
State: FL

Complaint narrative:
My auto loan with Wells Fargo was paid in full on XX/XX/XXXX. Under UCC 9-513 / Florida Statute 679.513, Wells Fargo had 20 days ( by XX/XX/XXXX ) to file or deliver a lien termination statement in Florida. This never occurred. Filing or releasing in Missouri does not satisfy the obligation because the title was and is held in Florida. 

Under the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( 15 U.S.C. 1681s-2 ), Wells Fargo also had 30 days ( by XX/XX/XXXX ) to update my account status as paid/closed. This was not done. 

On XX/XX/XXXX, I submitted a verification request when the unresolved lien came to light after my vehicle was totaled. Under the Truth in Lending Act ( 15 U.S.C. 1639g ), Wells Fargo was required to provide accurate payoff/lien confirmation XXXX XXXX business days ( by XX/XX/XXXX ). Instead, Wells Fargo refused verification during a three-way call with XXXX, XXXX the line when asked to transfer, and later claimed they have XXXX more days because they opened an internal claim. Federal law does not allow Wells Fargo to reset the statutory clock. 

Wells Fargo has been out of compliance since XX/XX/XXXX. Their ongoing refusal to release the lien in Florida and confirm satisfaction constitutes violations of TILA, FCRA, UCC 9-513, and CFPBs UDAAP standards ( 12 U.S.C. 5531 ).

Requested Resolution : Immediate lien release filed with the Florida DHSMV and immediate update of credit bureau reporting to reflect the account as paid/closed. Written confirmation of compliance must be provided without further delay.

Company: Experian Information Solutions Inc.
State: HI

Complaint narrative:
I am writing to formally dispute several inquiries listed on my credit report that I did not authorize. Upon reviewing my credit file, I noticed multiple inquiries from companies with whom I have never applied for credit or given permission to access my report. 
I have submitted dispute requests and provided documentation to support my claim, but the inquiries remain on my file without resolution. These unauthorized inquiries negatively impact my credit score and raise concerns about potential identity misuse or reporting errors. Despite my follow-ups, the issue has not been appropriately addressed. 
As a consumer, I have the right under the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ) to dispute any information on my credit report that I believe to be inaccurate or fraudulent. I am requesting that a full investigation be conducted to determine the origin and legitimacy of these inquiries.

Issue: Dealing with your lender or servicer — Trouble with how payments are being handled
Company: MOHELA
State: WA

Complaint narrative:
I made a payment of {$11000.00} on XX/XX/year>, to my loan XXXX, which had a principal of {$14000.00}. 
Until today, the payment has not been processed, and my account is accruing interest. 
I have called multiple times. Initially, they said processing the payment could take up to 90 days. It's been over 6 months, a total of 204 days, and they have not processed the payment yet. I have spoken to supervisors and their resolution team, and they always say they will escalate my case to resolve this as soon as possible. They have acknowledge the payment was made on my end, and even sent them my bank transaction summary as a proof. 
My current debt for this loan is {$15000.00}, which does not reflect the payment made in XXXX. I am willing to pay off my loan right now, but due to this situation, I have not made further payments on that loan because I am afraid of having the same issue. 
The loan recently went to " repayment, '' and the monthly amount is based on the {$15000.00}, which is not the amount I owe. 
I am demanding that this payment be processed immediately and that any interest accrued since XXXX be removed. This has affected my mental health by causing unnecessary stress. I have already spent more than 8 hours in total on phone calls that do not result in any resolution.

Company: EQUIFAX, INC.
State: MD

Complaint narrative:
Despite repeated attempts to resolve these matters, Equifax continues to allow damaging inaccuracies to persist on my credit profile. These unresolved errors are more than just frustratingthey are unjust, and they are actively interfering with my ability to move forward financially. Every time I apply for a loan, a credit card, or any financial opportunity, these incorrect entries stand as barriers that I shouldnt have to face. It is unacceptable that after multiple disputes, you still havent taken the appropriate steps to ensure your data is correct. Under the Fair Credit Reporting Act, you are legally required to verify every single reported item with original, legitimate documentation. If you can not confirm the accuracy of these records with credible, dated evidence, then these entries have no place on my report and must be removed immediately. I am demanding that you conduct a thorough reinvestigationnot a generic response, not a rubber-stamped review, but a meaningful audit backed by proper documentation. Continued delays and inaction will be treated as a deliberate and unlawful disregard of your obligations under federal law. Ive been more than patient, but my patience has run out.
