Consumer complaint received 2025-03-07 00:00:00
Product: Credit reporting or other personal consumer reports — Credit reporting
Issue: Problem with a company's investigation into an existing problem — Their investigation did not fix an error on your report
Company: EQUIFAX, INC.
State: FL

Complaint narrative:
I am filing a formal complaint against Equifax for failing to conduct a reasonable investigation into disputes regarding inaccuracies in my credit report. Despite my repeated submissions, Equifax consistently responds within 24 hours, asserting that the disputed accounts are accurate without providing any evidence of a thorough review.

This practice directly violates the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ), 15 U.S.C. 1681i, which requires credit reporting agencies to conduct a reasonable investigation of
disputes. Additionally, Equifaxs actions may also be in violation of the Consumer Financial Protection Act ( CFPA ), 12 U.S.C. 5536 ( a ) ( 1 ) ( A ) - ( B ), as evidenced in the CFPBs recent administrative proceeding ( XXXX XXXX. XXXX ) against them for similar misconduct. 

I respectfully request that the CFPB take immediate action to ensure Equifax complies with federal law and provides consumers with verifiable proof of a proper investigation. Furthermore, I request the deletion of the disputed accounts from my credit report, as Equifax has failed to fulfill its legal obligations. 

Here are the accounts marked as 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 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 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 Thank you for your attention to this matter.

Complaint narrative:
I submitted a dispute to you regarding multiple inaccuracies on my credit report, including incorrect personal information ( name, addresses ) and multiple inaccurate account entries. Despite providing supporting documents, such as my driver 's license, proof of address, and social security card, you have failed to correct these errors. These inaccuracies impact my credit standing and violate the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ), which requires credit bureaus to ensure maximum possible accuracy. Additionally, some of these accounts may involve debts that should have been reported differently under 1099-C tax laws. I formally requested verification and removal of these items, but you have not taken appropriate action.

Complaint narrative:
Finding unauthorized accounts, credit inquiries, and false personal information made or reported without my knowledge or agreement completely stunned and grieved me. I've tried to get clarification from the creditors, but they have blatantly refused to give it to me. I demand that the creditors act immediately and be transparent. The creditors must submit pertinent application materials, show proof of express authority for each query, and give comprehensive details about each account and inquiry, including dates, purposes, and the kinds of credit products involved. To see what I'm complaining about, please refer to the attached file!

Issue: Problem when making payments — Problem during payment process
Company: SYNCHRONY FINANCIAL
State: FL

Complaint narrative:
Every single month since XXXX of XXXX on the XXXX or XXXX of each month, I have paid this company {$250.00} ; some months even more. 

I called in XXXX of XXXX to have the company allocate my monthly bill to XXXX separate charges, or promotionals, I have on my account in a particular manner as to have each promotional paid off before interest starts accruing. They instructed me to call each month, instead of paying my bill virtually, to instruct them to properly allocate the funds. 

On XX/XX/XXXX, I called to do my monthly payment, just to find out yet again that they were not properly allocating my money, even with me calling each month & instructing them to put certain amounts to each promotional. 

I have called each month since XX/XX/XXXX and each time on the phone they tell me they are applying my funds to the right promotional. And each next month I call & speak to another representative, they either tell me I still have a bill that I've already paid off or the new totals do not reflect that which I instructed them the month prior. 

On XX/XX/XXXX, when I called to complain about this & speak to a supervisor, I was hung up on twice -- once by a representative and once by the supervisor, right as he was going to pull up my records & inform me on where these discrepancies were coming from. 

I truly believe they are trying to mess with my personal payment plan so that interest can begin accruing on my account ( which is practically at 27 % ) & they can gain more money from me than they deserve. I am a timely payer ; I have never missed a payment in years with this card & yet they are playing these games even after following their request of calling each month, giving them very clear & simple instructions ( IE : " My bank account was charged {$130.00}. The promotional that ends on XXXX of XXXX with the amount of {$300.00}, I would like {$60.00} to go there & the promotional that ends on XX/XX/XXXX with the amount of {$200.00}, I would like {$70.00} to go there. '' ) Them making that complex is very telling on their end & they need to be exposed & dealt with accordingly.

I lodged a complaint with these Bureaus a month ago, but unfortunately, the inaccurate information on my report still remains. I haven't received any communication from the Bureaus, except for the notification that you sent stating that the company has responded to my complaint. How can I be certain that they have thoroughly checked the inaccuracies on my report? What methods did they employ to validate the accounts? This whole situation is incredibly frustrating! It's been more than 30 days since I filed a complaint with these Bureaus, and yet the disputed accounts have not been updated. If this continues, I will have no choice but to take legal action due to the immense stress this has caused me. Moreover, I am also concerned about the security of my personal data, as it was affected by the Equifax, XXXX, and XXXX data breach.
