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: GA

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!

Company: EQUIFAX, INC.
State: FL

Complaint narrative:
I am submitting this complaint because Equifax is reporting incorrect and outdated personal information on my credit file, despite my efforts to provide the correct and verified details. I formally requested that they update the following : Full Legal Name : XXXX XXXX XXXX ( not XXXX or XXXX ) Date of Birth : XX/XX/year>XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXXXXXX Employer : XXXX XXXX ( not Self-Employed ) In my letter, I clearly asked Equifax to delete multiple inaccurate entries, including XXXX outdated addresses ( XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXXXXXX XXXX, incorrect name variations, and the outdated employer. These errors are damaging and misleading, and they violate the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ), specifically 15 U.S. Code 1681e ( b ), which requires Equifax to ensure the maximum possible accuracy of the information they report. 

I also asked Equifax to ensure that all internal systems and records are updated accordingly to prevent these issues from continuing. Incorrect information like this has a serious impact on my creditworthiness, and I am requesting that the CFPB ensure Equifax takes immediate corrective action and provides confirmation of the updates.

Complaint narrative:
XX/XX/XXXXXXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXXXXXX : XX/XX/XXXX Equifax Information Services XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXXXXXX I recently reviewed my credit report and found unauthorized inquiries. 

I have already contacted the creditors below and they not provided me with any proof that I initiated such inquiries, nor me with written authorization or any permissible purpose. Since they do not have any authorization, written nor verbal, I ask that you DELETE these unauthorized inquiries from my credit report immediately as there is no evidence of any authorization, nor any permissible purpose. 

As you know, according to Section 604 of the Fair Credit Reporting Act, Permissible Purpose of Consumer Reports 15 U.S. Code 1681b, Subsection ( a ), the below creditors have not demonstrated any permissible purpose and any consumer reporting agency may furnish a consumer report under those circumstances and no other.

As such, under 15 U.S Code 1681i, Paragraph ( 5 ) Treatment of Inaccurate or Unverifiable Information ( A ) in general : If, after any reinvestigation under paragraph ( 1 ) of any information disputed by a consumer, an item of the information is found to be inaccurate or incomplete or can not be verified, the consumer reporting agency shall- ( i ) promptly delete that item of information from the file of the consumer, or modify that item of information, as appropriate, based on the results of the investigation ; and ( ii ) promptly notify the furnisher of that the information has been modified or deleted from the file of the consumer. 

The following inquiries are unauthorized, and I ask that you DELETE them : Creditor Name : XXXXXXXX XXXX XXXX Inquiry Date : XX/XX/XXXX Reason : I dont recognize this inquiry Creditor Name : XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXXXX/XX/XXXX Reason : I dont recognize this inquiry Creditor Name : XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX : XX/XX/XXXX Reason : I dont recognize this inquiry Creditor Name : XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXXXX/XX/XXXX Reason : I dont recognize this inquiry Creditor Name XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXXXXXX XXXX XX/XX/XXXX Reason : I dont recognize this inquiry Creditor Name : XXXX XXXX XXXX Inquiry Date XXXX XX/XX/XXXXXXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX

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 on my XXXX XXXX  account [ XXXX ]. 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.

Product: Student loan — Federal student loan servicing
Issue: Dealing with your lender or servicer — Received bad information about your loan
Company: Nelnet, Inc.
State: MO

Complaint narrative:
I am formally disputing the accuracy and completeness of the student loan account nelnet has reported to the credit bureaus under my name along with federal loans. Under the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ) and the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act ( FDCPA ), I am requesting a full validation of this debt, including : 1. A detailed account history showing all disbursements, payments, deferments, forbearances, and accrued interest ; 2. Proof that this debt is legally mine, including signed promissory notes and original loan documentation ; 3. A breakdown of how the current balance was calculated ; 4. A list of any third-party agencies who have accessed or serviced this account ; 5. Confirmation of correct and lawful credit reporting, including accurate open/close dates, payment history, and status. 

Additionally, if this account was transferred, consolidated, or discharged in any way, please provide supporting documentation to reflect the correct reporting status. 

If you are unable to verify the account in full within the timeframe required by law ( generally 30 days under FCRA ), I am requesting that it be immediately removed from all credit reporting agencies.

Failure to provide sufficient validation may result in a formal complaint filed with the CFPB, FTC, and state attorney generals office, as well as pursuit of all remedies available to me under federal and state consumer protection laws.

I believe this account may be partially or entirely invalid. Additionally, I have concerns that federal protections for student borrowers were not properly applied, and I am now suffering harm to my credit as a result. 

I am requesting that the CFPB investigate this matter and require Nelnet to either provide full verification and corrected reportingor delete the account entirely if validation can not be provided. 

Thank you for your prompt attention to this matter.
