Consumer complaint received 2024-08-15 00:00:00
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: CA

Complaint narrative:
Since XX/XX/year>, Equifax employees have unlawfully accessed my credit report without my consent or knowledge, leading to the initiation of fraudulent and frivolous disputes. I have provided confirmation numbers related to some of these unauthorized actions : XXXX, XXXX, XXXX, XXXX, and XXXX. These actions have caused significant hardship and financial loss, as the disputes started by Equifax employees were on accounts that were either non-existent on my profile or on authorized accounts that were closed in good standing. 

Equifax employees have unlawfully deleted the following accounts from my credit report : XXXX. XXXX  XXXX XXXX account ending in XXXX XXXX XXXX. XXXX account XXXX in XXXX XXXX XXXX. XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX account ending in XXXX XXXX XXXX. XXXX XXXX mortgage account ending in XXXX XXXX I have never submitted any disputes regarding these accounts, all of which were closed in good standing. The deletion of these accounts has further damaged my credit profile and caused additional financial harm. 

I have reported this fraudulent activity and the ongoing behavior of Equifax employees to the XXXX XXXX Police Department, the FTC, the CFPB, the California State Attorney General, and the XXXX. Despite these reports, Equifax employees continue to commit fraud, initiating disputes and using information such as names and addresses of Equifax and the employees mentioned in the reports. These employees have also used these names to falsely claim that I disputed these names on my credit report. This fraudulent behavior has been ongoing for several months and has significantly impacted my financial stability. 

Despite multiple attempts to resolve these issues, the same employees continue to access my credit profile and manipulate accounts. This has led to the addition of fraudulent information, the initiation of baseless disputes, and the deletion of legitimate accounts that I have never disputed. The ongoing manipulations of my credit report have severely impacted my financial standing, making it difficult for me to maintain accurate credit information and leading to further complications in managing my financial obligations. 

Equifax 's unauthorized access and manipulation of my credit report are clear violations of the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ), specifically Section 604, which requires that consumer reporting agencies must have a permissible purpose for accessing a consumer 's credit report. Additionally, these actions may also violate California state laws that protect consumers from unauthorized credit report access and the mishandling of disputes. 

Attached documents are letters from credit furniture XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXXXXXX XXXX XXXX along with dispute letter to copies of identification, police reports, FTC identity XXXX theft reports

Product: Credit reporting or other personal consumer reports — Credit reporting
Issue: Incorrect information on your report — Information belongs to someone else
Company: EQUIFAX, INC.
State: NY

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 my privacy with my consumer report, since I control what is listed and what is not. In the event that any accounts are reported without my written consent, that is considered identity theft. 

This is a violation of both 15 U.S. Code 1681b ( 2 ) and 15 U.S. Code 1681c-2. This leads way to civil liability against the credit reporting agency for negligent and willful noncompliance under 15 U.S. Code 1681n, which allows for {$1000.00} per violation, for account listed without my expressed written consent.

Company: TRANSUNION INTERMEDIATE HOLDINGS, INC.

Complaint narrative:
XXXX XXXX XXXX held my student loans in the amount of roughly {$75000.00} since XXXX. I made payments for about XXXX years and put the loans in forbearance in XXXX because I went back to school for my XXXX XXXX XXXX. This forbearance then coincided with XXXX in XX/XX/XXXX. As was the case with all student loans, I was of the understanding that these loans were also covered by the XXXX governments ruling on suspension of payments. In XX/XX/XXXX, I was denied of co-signing for student loans for my son. I found out at this time that XXXX was still expecting payments, although I never received mail nor phone calls letting me know this information. At this time and the months/years that followed, they began informing me that the government would be taking over the loans and all past delinquencies would be wiped clean. In XX/XX/XXXX, XXXX became my new loan servicer and on the letter they sent, it states, '' Your student loans are no longer considered in default '', " Your previous loan servicer has notified credit reporting agencies to remove any adverse credit reporting that occurred because of the default ''. XXXX then went and reported default in late XXXX which has blocked me from co-signing student loans for my daughter. I have contacted XXXX directly and submitted inquiries through the credit agencies. XXXX not only refuses to comply with the letters, they outright refuse to remove this false information on my credit report.

Company: OneMain Finance Corporation
State: FL

Complaint narrative:
I believe I have been victimized by OneMain Financial 's deceptive sales practices as outlined in the CFPB 's recent order. 

I was led to believe that an add-on package would be necessary for the refinancing of my new OneMain plan Due to excessive add-ons and accumulated interest, I defaulted on my account. 

Despite my efforts to resolve the issue with OneMain, I was unable to reach a satisfactory agreement. 

This led to a lawsuit against me, resulting in additional fees and wage garnishment.

Company: EQUIFAX, INC.

Complaint narrative:
My accounts 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/updated.

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.

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!

Complaint narrative:
I am writing to express my deep concern regarding the unavailability of my credit data from your bureau. As a diligent consumer who consistently monitors their credit profile, I am troubled by the recent discovery that vital information seems to be missing from your records. Despite being proactive in managing my finances and ensuring timely payments on all accounts, I have encountered significant hurdles due to the absence of my credit data from your bureau. This has not only caused inconvenience but has also put me in a precarious position, especially concerning recent financial transactions and loan applications. I have made numerous attempts to address this issue through your customer service channels, but regrettably, the resolution process has been slow and ineffective. As a result, I find myself facing unnecessary challenges in accessing essential financial services and opportunities.
