Company: Experian Information Solutions Inc.
State: TX

Complaint narrative:
I am writing to formally request the removal of several unauthorized accounts and inquiries from my credit report. These accounts and inquiries are not associated with me, and I did not authorize their inclusion on my report. The presence of these inaccuracies is the result of a data breach that has adversely affected my credit standing, leading to a significant drop in my XXXX score. 

Upon a thorough review of my credit report, I identified multiple accounts and inquiries that I do not recognize or authorize. These inaccuracies have led to negative remarks on my credit report, which are unjustly damaging my credit score and financial reputation. 

The inclusion of these unauthorized accounts and inquiries has caused considerable stress and concern regarding my financial well-being. It is imperative that my credit report accurately reflects my financial history and activities. Therefore, I request an immediate investigation into these inaccuracies and the prompt removal of all unauthorized accounts and inquiries.

Issue: Incorrect information on your report — Account status incorrect
Company: EQUIFAX, INC.
State: TX

Complaint narrative:
My account with Equifax 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.

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
