Company: EQUIFAX, INC.
State: GA

Complaint narrative:
I am submitting this complaint against the XXXX major credit XXXX, Equifax, and XXXX ongoing, systemic violations of the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ) and failure to comply with Metro 2 Format and CDIA industry standards. 

Despite submitting multiple disputes concerning inaccurate, unverifiable, and/or outdated negative items on my credit reports, the credit bureaus have consistently responded with vague verified as accurate outcomeswithout producing a single shred of documentary evidence or conducting a lawful investigation as required under 15 U.S.C. 1681i ( a ). 

Instead, they rely on the deeply flawed and automated e-OSCAR system, which merely forwards dispute codes to furnishers and accepts their response without independent verification. This practice has been widely criticized by the CFPB and ruled inadequate in court. 

Violations and Legal Basis : The following violations form the basis of this complaint : 15 U.S.C. 1681e ( b ) Failure to maintain reasonable procedures to assure maximum possible accuracy 15 U.S.C. 1681i ( a ) Failure to conduct a reasonable reinvestigation 15 U.S.C. 1681s-2 ( b ) Furnisher failure to correct or delete disputed information Metro 2 and CDIA Guidelines Failure to comply with reporting format and data integrity standards Further, the credit bureaus use of e-OSCAR has been ruled insufficient in legal precedent : " A credit reporting agency XXXX not rely blindly on the [ furnisher 's ] investigation. The agency has an obligation to conduct a reasonable investigation itself. '' XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX, XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX  Balance : {$0.00} Open Date XX/XX/XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX : {$0.00} Open Date XX/XX/XXXXXXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX  {$0.00} Open Date XX/XX/XXXX These harms are measurable, preventable, and attributable to willful negligence and disregard of consumer protection law. 

Relief Requested : I am requesting that the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau take appropriate supervisory or enforcement action and require XXXX, Equifax, and XXXX to : Immediately delete all negative items previously disputed that can not be verified with complete documentation Cease reporting unverifiable data and require original source validation for all disputes Re-review investigation procedures and prohibit reliance solely on e-OSCAR as a substitute for human reinvestigation Certify in writing that corrective actions have been taken and notify all furnishers and third-party users of the updated information

Company: T.S. Holdings
State: AZ

Complaint narrative:
On Thursday XX/XX/year> at XXXX I was threatened by XXXX with I Q Data.

I received a call from IQ Data, the first man to speak to me was incredibly rude so I asked to speak to a supervisor, he transferred me to XXXX who ended up threatening me. 

I had not been made aware that I had a debt I owed with my previous landlord, I hadnt received a letter, email, or phone call. I was fully unaware & when they spoke to me they said I owed {$160.00} dollars from my previous apartment complex, I explained that if thats true Ill pay it no problem ( {$160.00} isnt that big of a deal ) but when I explained multiple times I wanted to call my old landlord to confirm the amount and charge, I kept being threatened that if I hung up the call, that they would essentially ruin my credit by escalating this collection to the next step and consider this refusal to pay however I wasnt refusing to pay, I just wanted to confirm with my landlord because I explained I was worried I was getting scammed over a phone call you never know these days and when you arent aware of a debt, this was suspicious especially because they were so insistent on me paying right that second. 

XXXX threatened me by saying " I'm going to hang up in 5 seconds and it will escalate this call and your collection and that will mess with your credit and your mothers credit '' ( my mom was a co-signer ).... she then began counting down 5... 4 .. 3 ... until I paid. Insane.

As mentioned, the amount was only {$160.00}, not a big deal and was willing to pay if it was accurate, I just knew it was my right to confirm with my previous apartment and to make sure I wasn't getting scammed over the phone by being cautious. She also was insulting by insisting I wasnt responsible and that this was my fault etc. She kept threatening me more by saying she knew my information and my social and could charge me regardless and that this call was a " courtesy ''.... Essentially threatened me multiple times. 


By far the worst customer service Ive experienced in my entire life. I can not believe a business is allowed to operate this way, threatening and manipulating individuals for payment is illegal. They need to be shut down.

Company: Portfolio Recovery Associates, LLC
State: TX

Complaint narrative:
In XX/XX/XXXX, I had a medical procedure financed through XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXXXXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX  I defaulted around XX/XX/XXXX due to financial hardship. I was never notified that the debt was transferred to Portfolio Recovery Associates. 

In XX/XX/XXXX, I found out there was a judgment when my bank account was garnished for over {$18000.00}. I later learned a default judgment was entered in XXXX, but I was unaware of it and did not know Portfolio had acquired the debt. 

In XX/XX/XXXX, I called Portfolio Recovery twice asking how to resolve the issue. I explained that XXXX XXXX ( the firm now handling the case ) was not answering calls or emails. The representative confirmed that XXXX is in charge, but stated Portfolio could not assist further and I would have to wait. No alternative or follow-up was offered. 

I never received a validation notice, any written communication about my right to dispute the debt, or notice of the debt transfer. Portfolio failed to inform me or provide any documentation. Their lack of response has left me without options, while my financial accounts remain at risk.

Company: UPGRADE, INC.
State: FL

Complaint narrative:
I am disputing inaccurate late payments and a charge-off reported by XXXX XXXX on my credit report. My loan was paid in full in six scheduled payments, all made on time. After my final payment, I was never notified of any remaining balance.

Later, the bank reported very small balances of {$0.00}, {$0.00}, and {$0.00}, which were never invoiced or disclosed, and used those amounts to mark my account as 30, 60, and 90 days late, followed by a charge-off.

I contacted the company, and they acknowledged these were interest charges, but they should have been included in the agreed six-payment plan. No bill or notice was ever provided for these amounts.

This inaccurate reporting has severely damaged my credit score and delayed my mortgage process. I am requesting that all inaccurate late payments and the charge-off be removed from my credit report. Supporting documentation showing all payments on time is attached.

Complaint narrative:
I was utterly shocked and devastated upon discovering unauthorized accounts, credit inquiries and inaccurate personal information made or reported without my knowledge or consent. Despite my efforts to seek clarification from the creditors, they have shamefully failed to provide the necessary information. I demand immediate action and transparency from the creditors. The creditors must provide detailed information on each account and inquiry, including dates, purposes, and types of credit products involved, furnish relevant application documents, and present evidence of explicit authorization for each inquiry. 

Please see the attached file for what I am complaining about! I have attached a copy of my government issued ID as well as mail showing proof of address. So, there shouldnt be any confusion or stall tactics on your end. I have maintained a careful record of my communications with you for the purpose of filing a complaint with the FTC should you continue in your non-compliance.
