Product: Credit reporting or other personal consumer reports — Credit reporting
Issue: Improper use of your report — Reporting company used your report improperly
Company: EQUIFAX, INC.
State: CT

Complaint narrative:
Upon reviewing my credit report, I discovered several accounts that I do not recognize and believe to be fraudulent. These accounts appear to be opened without my authorization, and I am deeply concerned about the potential impact on my credit standing and financial well-being. I suspect that I am a victim of identity theft, as I have not initiated or authorized the opening of these accounts. The presence of these unauthorized accounts on my credit report has caused me significant distress and uncertainty about the security of my personal information. I have attached a copy of my credit report highlighting the unrecognized accounts for your reference.

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: PNC Bank N.A.
State: TN

Complaint narrative:
PNC bank has been the lien holder on my auto loan since purchasing the vehicle in XX/XX/XXXX. I have never refinanced or done anything with the loan, except for moving in XX/XX/XXXX & having to change my address, which was a nightmare getting PNC to even update that. Payments were always made to PNC Bank. Never any other company. I paid off the auto loan with PNC on XX/XX/XXXX. Per the state of Tennessee, the title was to be sent out in XXXX business days. On XX/XX/XXXX, I realized I still never received the title so I proceeded to call PNC Bank to report the issue. They advised it takes them up to XXXX business weeks to process it and that my case was untouched but that it should be resolved by the next week. On XX/XX/XXXX, I again realized PNC Bank failed to follow through on their end as I still hadnt received the title. So I called PNC Bank to get more of their excuses. This time they are saying that they do show I did in fact pay off the vehicle on XX/XX/XXXX but that the title was sent to an XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX ( Ive never heard of or interacted with them ) in Ohio. And that the date sent to that credit union was XX/XX/XXXX ( the day after I originally called with my first complaint ), but the PNC Bank employee entered on XX/XX/XXXX that the lien was paid off in XXXX. The PNC Bank representative advised she opened a case for them to investigate and get the title issued correctly to me. She said I need to follow back up with PNC Bank in a week. Why cant PNC Bank follow up with me? What excuse and lie will be told next week when I reach out? How do I resolve this to get my vehicle title that was paid off XXXX weeks ago?

Issue: Attempts to collect debt not owed — Debt is not yours
Company: Experian Information Solutions Inc.
State: NY

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.

Complaint narrative:
In XXXX and again starting in XX/XX/XXXX, I was contacted by XXXX XXXX, claiming I owed a debt related to a so-called clerk of the court. 

On both occasions I asked for relevant information about the validity of the debt, pursuant to the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act.

This is now beyond harassment and their repeated attempt to defraud me in collusion with this so-called clerk of the court need to be criminally prosecuted for their attempted fraud.

Company: EQUIFAX, INC.
State: NJ

Complaint narrative:
My account with EQUIFAX was never late! I have had exceptional payment history with XXXX XXXXXXXX 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.

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.

EQUIFAX 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
