Company: EQUIFAX, INC.
State: AZ

Complaint narrative:
My account with ( XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX ) 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 in ( 30-90 days ) to be removed. 


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. 


( XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX ) Never Sent the periodic statement along with the disclosures from section 1637 ( b ). 


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! 


Delete the late payments from my consumer reports

Complaint narrative:
A month ago, I submitted a complaint to these Bureaus, but the incorrect information on my report is still there. I haven't heard back from them, aside from your notification that the company has replied to my complaint. How can I trust that they've properly investigated the inaccuracies? What steps did they take to verify the accounts? This entire situation is really frustrating, especially since it's been over 30 days since I filed my complaint.

Issue: Problem with fraud alerts or security freezes — 
Company: EQUIFAX, INC.
State: CA

Complaint narrative:
I have sent the required documents ( police AND FTC reports, images of DL & SS card, cover letter ) to Equifax FOUR TIMES over the past THREE YEARS in an attempt to get an extended fraud alert placed on my credit report due to ongoing identity theft, and not only have they not done so, when I call to follow up they blatantly lie / change the story with each person I speak to. The only consistent thing I've heard is that the person I'm speaking with is never the right person, nor are they able to connect me with the right person. The man I spoke with today literally said that extended fraud alerts are handled by a back office that doesn't have a phone number so he can't connect me, the only course of action he could suggest was to send the required documents a FIFTH time ( like that would change the outcome ... XXXX ). 

I have already placed fraud alerts with the other XXXX bureaus without a hitch, so I'm not sure why Equifax refuses to place it. In total, they have received a request XXXX for me and have failed to act. The XXXX additional requests have come from the other XXXX credit bureaus, because, per Equifax 's own website, " You only need to contact one of the XXXX nationwide credit reporting agencies ( NCRAs ) Equifax, XXXX or XXXX place a fraud alert. Then the NCRA will forward your fraud alert request to the other XXXX. '' This is completely unacceptable that Equifax is blatantly ignoring their duty to protect consumers ' information and there is no way for consumers to contact the " right person '' at Equifax to enforce their rights. They need to be forced to put direct contact info on their website for their extended fraud alert department, because supposedly the only way to contact them is via physical mail, and I've done so 4 times and they have yet to do their job and place the alert or follow up with me if there are any issues with my documents.
