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: FL

Complaint narrative:
Ive noticed that several deviations from mandatory reporting standards therefore the data in my report can not be accurate and complete! With that said, I deny your allegations and I challenge you to provide proof that you have the right to report this incomplete negative information on my credit report. 

Per 15 U.S.C 1681e Whenever a consumer reporting agency prepares a consumer report it shall follow reasonable procedures to assure maximum possible accuracy of the information concerning the individual about whom the report relates. 

According to 12 CFR Part 1022 ( Regulation V ) requires furnishers to : Furnish information concerning accounts or other relationships with a consumer that has integrity. 
Furnish information about accounts or other relationships with a consumer that is accurate. 
C - Conduct reasonable investigations of consumer disputes According to XXXX, in order to make a lawful report, you must follow the Metro 2 compliance standards. 

Also as stated in the XXXX Any Deviation From These Standards Jeopardizes The Integrity of The Data. This means that any mistakes in reporting claims can make the information less accurate and it affects the accuracy of any federally regulated reports. 

Therefore, I am invoking my rights to challenge these inaccurate and non-compliant items. Neglecting my demand will only prove that you DO NOT care about my rights as a consumer. Its NOT FAIR for you to report information that isnt confirmed to be ethical and meets the standards of certified reporting. Again, I am challenging these claims and asking for proof of the proper reporting standards. 

You are violating my rights! I have listed the concerns about your reporting in this document. It's not complete and does not meet my standards according to law, you must certify all aspects of required FCRA/ Metro 2 compliance which is done truthfully, correctly ( in a timely manner ), completely AND accurately as well - or else I would have to escalate these issues to the CFPB , FTC and my Attorney General.

Issue: Problem with a company's investigation into an existing problem — Difficulty submitting a dispute or getting information about a dispute over the phone
Company: HW Holding, Inc
State: OH

Complaint narrative:
XXXX has noted that FCRA does NOT require them to maintain records of disputed accounts. XXXX has " destroyed '' the records for a dispute that is not even 2 years aged ( was completed on XX/XX/22 ). 

XXXX indicated that " keeping that information would be at my detriment and unfair ''. I explained that my " public '' credit report is much different than their internal notes, which I requested. 

At this time, XXXX has indicated that I have never made a dispute on my credit file, which is inaccurate, as at least XXXX ( including this issue ), if not XXXX, have been logged with that agency. 

Since I can not see the details, I assume that I have the correct dispute report number of XXXX ( see attached email confirming that XXXX knew of and sent correspondence related to this dispute ).

Complaint narrative:
I received a mailing from Priority Plus Financial for a personal loan. Upon initial conversations, XXXX XXXX ( XXXX ) XXXX, stated to me that he needed to send me to underwriting. He cold transferred me to XXXX. XXXX ran what I was told was a soft credit pull, to which I had to state verbally " Yes, I agree. '' When XXXX called me back the interest rates expressed as higher rates than are advertised on the Priority Plus FInancial, which the range maxes out at XXXX XXXX  XXXX had told me that I received the pre-approval due to pre-screening and there should be no reason that I should not expect the XXXX XXXX rate. 

XXXX then stated to me he was with Priority Plus Financial 's " sister company, '' XXXX. When I tried to explain that the marketing/advertising and using terms for another financial institution as a lead generation source bypassed regulatory systems and transparency, he said that the marketing materials I received were not relevant to his company because they did not market me directly. When I tried to explain that it is indirect marketing through using a secondary company to transfer leads to their company, the regulatory requirements still remain, XXXX asked, " Are you going to just talk over me or let me explain that we did not market you? '' I replied there was no reason to be rude and he said, " I just give the same energy I get. '' I had told him that I was frustrated being asked for specific and personal information when there was a severe lack of transparency between the XXXX financial institutions. 

XXXX told me he was transferring me to underwriting and did not ask my permission to be transferred to another financial institution, who told me the marketing I received does not pertain to them and they have different terms, which were not disclosed to me prior to transferring to " underwriting.
