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: MD

Complaint narrative:
I am formally disputing several inaccuracies currently appearing on my credit report, specifically unauthorized and inaccurate accounts and credit inquiries that I did not initiate or approve. These entries represent a violation of the Fair Credit Reporting Act, particularly 15 U.S. Code 1681i, which requires a proper reinvestigation of disputed items, and 1681e ( b ), which mandates that information reported must be accurate to the maximum extent possible. In addition, I am disputing a potentially misreported late payment. According to 15 U.S.C. 1666b, creditors must allow at least 21 days between the statement date and the payment due date before classifying a payment as late. Based on my records, this standard may not have been met, or the payment was submitted on time and inaccurately reported as delinquent.

Complaint narrative:
I have previously disputed Experian, Equifax and Transunion regarding multiple accounts that are inaccurate. As of today, I have not received any responses or proof that they are doing proper investigation with my dispute. They ignored my rights to obtain an accurate credit report. They are non-compliant with the FCRA. These erroneous reports are badly hurting my credibility. I'm certain that my rights as a consumer protected under the law have been violated by this inaccurate information.

Complaint narrative:
On or around the past several months, I identified multiple inaccurate and unverifiable items appearing on my credit report, including charged-off accounts, collection accounts, a XXXX  entry, and several hard inquiries that I did not authorize. These accounts and inquiries are being reported with inconsistent dates, unsubstantiated balances, and without proper documentation or validation from the creditors involved. Despite previous disputes, the reporting remains unchanged, and the credit bureaus have not provided adequate proof of accuracy or permissible purpose for these items. The continued reporting of this inaccurate information has negatively impacted my credit score and overall creditworthiness, and I am requesting a thorough reinvestigation to ensure full compliance with the Fair Credit Reporting Act.

Complaint narrative:
The glaring absence of concrete evidence to support its reliability, combined with the dissemination of unverified information, represents a clear violation of the statutory requirements outlined in 15 USC 1681i ( 7 ). This lack of compliance is not only troubling but also deeply frustrating, given the critical importance of adhering to legal obligations. 

Therefore, I strongly advocate for the immediate removal of this account in accordance with the specified regulations, unless verifiable evidence is promptly provided to establish its authenticity. Any delay in addressing this issue exacerbates the frustration caused by the apparent disregard for regulatory protocols and the legal standards that ensure fairness and accuracy.

Complaint narrative:
To Whom It May Concern, I am formally disputing the accuracy of the information ChexSystems is reporting regarding an alleged unpaid balance of {$500.00} with XXXX XXXX XXXX. I have never held an account with XXXX XXXX XXXX  in any capacity. This reporting is false, damaging, and constitutes a violation of my rights under the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ), 15 U.S.C. 1681 et seq.

In accordance with 15 U.S.C. 1681i ( a ), you are required to conduct a reasonable reinvestigation of this disputed information within 30 days. I have already filed a formal FTC Identity Theft Report confirming that this account does not belong to me. Pursuant to 15 U.S.C. 1681c-2, when a consumer submits an identity theft report, a consumer reporting agency must block the reporting of that information within 4 business days of receiving the report. 

By continuing to publish or share this false account information, ChexSystems is engaging in willful and negligent noncompliance with the FCRA. The law is clear without my written consent, and in the absence of any verifiable, documented relationship with XXXX XXXX XXXX, you have no permissible purpose under 15 U.S.C. 1681b to collect, maintain, or share this information.

I demand the following : Immediate removal of the XXXX XXXX XXXX  entry from my ChexSystems file. 

Written confirmation within 5 business days that the deletion has been completed.

Notice sent to all entities that have accessed my report in the past 6 months informing them of the correction. 

Failure to comply will leave me no choice but to pursue all available remedies, including filing complaints with the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau ( CFPB ), Federal Trade Commission ( FTC ), and my states Attorney General, as well as initiating legal action for damages under 15 U.S.C. 1681n and 1681o. 

Please consider this my final notice before legal escalation.

Complaint narrative:
Dear CFPB, I am filing a complaint against my credit card issuer, Barclays, for wrongfully denying a billing dispute in the amount of {$170.00} related to a transaction with the merchant XXXX. Despite providing clear documentation, the credit card company closed the dispute in favor of the merchant without proper consideration. Details of the billing dispute : I purchased an item from a seller on XXXX that was described as authentic. Upon receipt, I discovered the item was counterfeit and misrepresented. I immediately contacted the seller to request a return and refund. Despite multiple attempts to resolve the issue, the merchant refused to provide a return shipping label and insisted I keep the counterfeit item while promising to send a replacement, which I did not agree to. I escalated the matter to my credit card company, filing a dispute under Case ID XXXX. I explained the item was counterfeit and the seller refused to cooperate. However, my credit card company closed the dispute without refunding my money, despite clear evidence of fraud and misrepresentation.
