Product: Credit reporting or other personal consumer reports — Credit reporting
Issue: Incorrect information on your report — Account information incorrect
Company: EQUIFAX, INC.
State: IL

Complaint narrative:
I am filing this complaint against XXXXXXXX XXXX XXXX regarding Loan, a home equity loan that was fully paid off on XX/XX/year>. 

Despite the loan being satisfied in full and XXXX having full documentation of this payoff in their system, my credit reports with all three major credit bureaus still show the full outstanding balance as if the loan remains unpaid. This is inaccurate and a direct violation of the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ), which requires accurate and timely reporting of account information. 

I have contacted XXXX multiple times, and they now claim that they have reported the account correctly. However, they are asking me to provide proof that the credit bureaus are showing incorrect balanceseven though XXXX is the furnisher of that information. This makes no logical sense and demonstrates a failure to take responsibility for the accuracy of the data they report. 

This incorrect reporting has already caused harm to my credit standing, and is actively affecting my ability to secure rental housing and access financial services. I am requesting that your office investigate this matter and require XXXX to take immediate action to update the account to show a Paid in Full status and a {$0.00} balance with XXXX, Equifax, and XXXX. 

Thank you for your assistance and time.

Complaint narrative:
I did not approve these transactions to be included in my consumer report, neither in writing nor verbally. Therefore, I formally request that these accounts be blocked and removed from my record. This is not a mistake or a misrepresentation. These transactions were included without my explicit consent or instruction. I am stressing this to highlight the seriousness of my request. It is based on accurate information, and I am not attempting to deceive or manipulate the situation in any way. My intent is solely to ensure that my consumer report reflects only those transactions that I have authorized. I am committed to maintaining the integrity of my financial records and ensuring that they are accurate and truthful. My request is genuine and aimed at correcting an unauthorized inclusion, not at exploiting any system or misleading any party involved.

Complaint narrative:
I am writing to formally address the ongoing noncompliance of your agency in relation to my identity theft report, which I previously submitted in accordance with the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ). Despite having sent multiple letters, your agency has repeatedly rejected my identity theft report on the grounds that it was not filed by a law enforcement agency. This decision is not in compliance with the FCRA and fails to recognize the guidance provided by identitytheft.gov as mandated by the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau ( CFPB ). 

As you are aware, the FCRA at Section 605B and the guidance provided by the CFPB under identitytheft.gov clearly outline the process for filing an identity theft report. The CFPB specifically states that victims of identity theft can file a report directly through identitytheft.gov, which then becomes a valid identity theft report under the FCRA. Nowhere does the FCRA require this report to be submitted by law enforcement for it to be valid.

Furthermore, under FCRA Section 617, your agency is legally required to investigate and resolve any identity theft dispute in a timely manner, and you are prohibited from deciding unilaterally what is valid or invalid when it comes to an identity theft report that has been properly filed. Your refusal to acknowledge this report based on your own standardsrather than what is set forth in federal lawis a clear violation of the FCRA. 

Legal Precedent : XXXX v. XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX ( XXXX XXXX. XXXX ) : This case underscores the importance of proper handling of disputes related to credit reporting and emphasizes that credit reporting agencies can not disregard information simply based on their own internal policies when federal law mandates a specific process. 
XXXX v. XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX ( XXXX Cir. XXXX ) : This case reinforced that credit reporting agencies must follow FCRA regulations, including investigating claims of identity theft in accordance with the law, and can not arbitrarily determine what constitutes an acceptable identity theft report. 
XXXX v. XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX ( XXXX. XXXX XXXX ) : This decision clarified that a credit reporting agency is obligated to accept documents submitted by the consumer, as long as they meet the legal requirements for disputing inaccurate information under the FCRA.

Complaint narrative:
On XX/XX/XXXX, my phone was stolen, and over {$4000.00} was transferred to an unknown account from my Cash App account. Unfortunately, I didn't have a PIN set up on my phone, and my bank information was saved in the notes app, which allowed my accounts to be accessed. I reported these unauthorized transactions to Cash App and my dispute was denied within a few days stating no error occurred, if they conducted a proper investigation, they will see that the account is not under my name. Additionally, there are login records from different devices showing that my account was compromised a day after my phone was stolen and funds were stolen. The only resolution I am seeking is the return of my funds.

Complaint narrative:
The Fair Credit Reporting Act ( 15 U.S. Code 1681 ) says ( 1 ) The banking system is dependent upon fair and accurate credit reporting. Inaccurate credit reports directly impair the efficiency of the banking system, and unfair credit reporting methods undermine the public confidence which is essential to the continued functioning of the banking system. So whenever there is a violation under the FCRA, it impairs the efficiency of the banking system. This is a violation of TILA US Code 1666B since I was never late. " I recently reviewed my consumer report and noticed an incorrect late payment record. I have always maintained timely payments on this account. Under the Fair Credit Billing Act ( FCBA ) and the Truth in Lending Act ( TILA ), creditors are required to accurately report consumer transactions and provide a mechanism for correcting errors in a timely manner. Please conduct an investigation into this matter, and if you can not provide documentary evidence of these supposed late payments, I demand these payments to be updated to on time as they should be as I was NEVER late. I expect these updates to be made promptly, in compliance with the law.

Complaint narrative:
I recently discovered that my personal information may have been compromised in a national data breach. As a result, I began closely reviewing my credit reports and noticed unfamiliar accounts that I did not authorize or open.

Specifically, there is an auto loan account reporting to TransUnion and XXXX that I do not recognize and have no knowledge of. This account does not appear on my XXXX report, which raises additional concerns about its accuracy and legitimacy. 

I have submitted formal disputes to both TransUnion and XXXX, requesting validation and investigation of the account. However, I have not received sufficient information or documentation to confirm the debt or explain its presence on my report.

Given the recent exposure of my personal data, I believe this may be a case of identity theft or inaccurate reporting. I have also submitted a complaint to the Federal Trade Commission ( FTC ) to formally report this issue.

Please find attached the following supporting documentation : A copy of my government-issued ID My FTC Identity Theft Report A copy of my Social Security Number card ( for verification purposes ) I am requesting that this account be thoroughly investigated and removed from my credit report if it can not be validated. Thank you for your assistance in resolving this matter.

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!
