Company: EQUIFAX, INC.

Complaint narrative:
Im writing to formally dispute an inaccurate tradeline currently being reported on my credit file. The information being reported is not accurate, and more importantly, it fails to meet the standard of maximum possible accuracy as required by 15 U.S. CXXXXe XXXX ( b ) of the Fair Credit Reporting Act. 

Let me be clear if a tradeline can not be reported with complete and verifiable accuracy, then you are not legally allowed to report it at all. Right now, the way this account is appearing on my credit report is misleading, harmful, and not reflective of my true credit history. Thats unacceptable, and I will not sit back while my credit profile is being damaged by something that shouldnt even be there.

Complaint narrative:
I want to stress that I did not give written permission for these specific transactions to be included in my consumer report. At no point did I authorize these entries, and their presence on my report is unwarranted. Consequently, I am formally requesting that these accounts be blocked and removed from my report immediately. It is important to clarify that this request is not due to any error or negligence on my part. There has been no oversight or misunderstanding on my end. Instead, this issue arises solely from the fact that I did not explicitly authorize the inclusion of these transactions in my report. I am diligent about maintaining the accuracy and privacy of my financial records, and these unauthorized entries compromise that integrity. I trust that you will handle this matter with the urgency and seriousness it deserves. Please confirm the removal of these transactions from my report as soon as possible. Thank you for your prompt attention to this issue.

Company: DISCOVER BANK
State: CA

Complaint narrative:
Discover closed my credit card account without providing proper written notice or a reasonable opportunity to respond. 

They claim to have sent me an email on XX/XX/year>, but I never received any such email or adverse action notice. No written letter, phone call, or follow-up notification was provided before the closure. The only instruction was to immediately call if I had not filed a tax return, but no clear timeframe was given ( such as 7 or 30 days ). This vague instruction left me no chance to resolve the issue.

I specifically requested ( 1 ) a copy of the alleged email/adverse action notice, ( 2 ) confirmation of the closure reason, and ( 3 ) correction of credit bureau reporting . The company has not provided this information.

This violates the Equal Credit Opportunity Act ( ECOA ) requirement to provide a clear adverse action notice within 30 days and constitutes an unfair practice.
