Company: EQUIFAX, INC.
State: NJ

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 TILA US Code 1666B since I was never late. 

I recently reviewed my consumer report and noticed an incorrect late payment record on my XXXXXXXX XXXX  account [ XXXX ]. I have always maintained timely payments on this account. Under the Fair Credit Billing Act ( FCBA ) and the Truth in Lending Act ( TILA ), creditors are required to accurately report consumer transactions and provide a mechanism for correcting errors in a timely manner. Please conduct an investigation into this matter, and if you can not provide documentary evidence of these supposed late payments, I demand these payments to be updated to on time as they should be as I was NEVER late. I expect these updates to be made promptly, in compliance with the law.

XX/XX/XXXX Subject : Complaint Regarding Inaccurate Late Payment Entry on Credit Report Dear CFPB, I am writing to file a formal complaint against Equifax regarding an inaccurate late payment entry on my credit report that has not been resolved despite my attempts to rectify the issue. 

Account Information : Creditor 's Name : XXXX  Account Number : XXXX Dates of Late Payments : XX/XX/XXXX and XX/XX/XXXX Nature of Complaint : On XX/XX/XXXX, I submitted a dispute to Equifax disputing a late payment reported by XXXX  XXXX I referenced the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( 15 U.S. Code 1681i ) and the Truth in Lending Act ( TILA ) ( 15 U.S. Code 1637 ( b ) ) in my dispute, explaining that the reported late payment was inaccurate for the following reasons : Payment Made on Time : My payments were made on time, as evidenced by my bank statements and payment confirmation records. These clearly indicate that both payments were processed well before the due dates, and these payments should not have been marked as late. 
Processing Delay at the Bank 's End : There was a delay in the internal processing of payments at XXXX. This caused the payments to be incorrectly flagged as late. After contacting XXXX  customer service, they acknowledged this delay. I have attached correspondence from XXXX confirming that the payments were processed late due to their internal issues, not my fault. 
System Error on Payment Posting : XXXX payment system encountered an error during the posting of my payments, resulting in the payments being marked late. I provided screenshots and support tickets showing that there was a known system issue during the payment dates. 
Despite providing this information and adhering to the dispute process within the Fair Credit Reporting Act, Equifax has failed to resolve this matter satisfactorily or remove the inaccurate late payment from my credit report. 
As a consumer, I have rights under the FCRA and TILA, including the right to accurate credit reporting. The continued presence of this inaccurate information is negatively impacting my credit score and financial well-being. 

Requested Resolution : I kindly request that the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau investigate this matter and take appropriate action to ensure that credit reporting agencies adhere to the Fair Credit Reporting Act and the Truth in Lending Act. I also request that the inaccurate late payment entries for XXXX and XX/XX/XXXX be removed from my credit report immediately. 

Thank you for your attention to this important matter. I look forward to your prompt response regarding the investigation of my complaint. 

Sincerely, XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX

Complaint narrative:
Request for Deletion of Inaccurately Reported Charged-Off Debt from XXXX XXXX XXXX .

To Whom It May Concern : I am writing to formally request the deletion of an inaccurately reported charged-off debt from XXXX XXXX XXXXXXXX. that appears on my consumer report. XXXX XXXX XXXX has refused to issue a 1099-C form for this charged-off debt, stating that the debt remains my responsibility despite being reported as charged off on my consumer report. Their response to my request for accurate reporting under federal law remains unsatisfactory. Please note that I have previously filed a formal complaint with the Consumer Financial Protection
Bureau ( CFPB ) regarding this issue. XXXX XXXX written response to the CFPB, which I have attached, confirms that they " can not accommodate my request for a completed 1099-C form '' and assert that the debt remains my responsibility. This failure to issue a 1099-C contradicts Ally Financials reporting obligations under IRS Code 6050P, which mandates that canceled or forgiven debts be reflected in consumer reports with a corresponding 1099-C form issued to the debtor.

Furthermore, under the Fair Credit Reporting Act* ( FCRA ), 15 U.S.C . 1681s-2 ( a ), creditors have an obligation to report information accurately to consumer reporting agencies. By declining to provide a 1099-C for the charged-off debt while asserting that I still hold responsibility for it, XXXX XXXX is presenting an inaccurate and misleading report of my credit history. I request that this charged-off account be removed from my consumer report to maintain the accuracy and integrity of my financial record.

Please find the attached CFPB response from XXXX XXXX XXXX for your reference in supporting this deletion request. I appreciate your prompt attention to this matter and am available to provide any additional documentation if necessary.

Thank you for your assistance. 

Sincerely, XXXX XXXX

XX/XX/XXXX Subject : Complaint Regarding Inaccurate Late Payment Entry on Credit Report Dear CFPB, I am writing to file a formal complaint against Equifax regarding an inaccurate late payment entry on my credit report that has not been resolved despite my attempts to rectify the issue. 

Account Information : Creditor 's Name : XXXX Account Number : XXXX Dates of Late Payments : XX/XX/XXXX, XX/XX/XXXX, XX/XX/XXXX and XX/XX/XXXX Nature of Complaint : On XX/XX/XXXX, I submitted a dispute to Equifax disputing a late payment reported by XXXX XXXX I referenced the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( 15 U.S. Code 1681i ) and the Truth in Lending Act ( TILA ) ( 15 U.S. Code 1637 ( b ) ) in my dispute, explaining that the reported late payment was inaccurate for the following reasons : Payment Already Made Before Due Date : The payments were made before the due date. I have provided bank statements and payment confirmation receipts that clearly show my payments were processed well before the due date and should not have been marked as late. 
Clerical Error at XXXX 's End : There was a clerical mistake where XXXX incorrectly reported my account as late, despite confirming that my payment was received on time. I have attached communication with XXXX acknowledging that the late reporting was due to a system error, and that the payment was processed correctly. 
Incorrect Reporting Due to Closed Account : My account with XXXX was closed by the creditor, which further complicates the reporting of late payments after the closure. This account should not have reflected any late payments beyond the closure date, and I have attached the account closure confirmation from XXXX as evidence. 

Despite providing this information and adhering to the dispute process within the Fair Credit Reporting Act, Equifax has failed to resolve this matter satisfactorily or remove the inaccurate late payment from my credit report. 
As a consumer, I have rights under the FCRA and TILA, including the right to accurate credit reporting. The continued presence of this inaccurate information is negatively impacting my credit score and financial well-being.

Company: EQUIFAX, INC.
State: NC

Complaint narrative:
I am reaching out because I originally requested Equifax XXXX and XXXX to validate the XXXX as well as the XXXX XXXX account currently listed on my credit report. This account contains significant inaccuracies, and despite my efforts to address the issue directly with these credit bureaus, I have not received any validation of the information they are reporting. These inaccuracies are seriously impacting my credit score and, as a result, have placed an immense burden on my ability to provide for my family. Ive taken the proper steps by requesting that this account be removed due to the inconsistencies in the reporting and the failure of the bureaus to fully validate the account as required under the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ). 

Despite my formal disputes, I have not been provided with any documentation that proves the legitimacy of the information being reported. This has left me with no choice but to escalate the matter and file a complaint through your organization. The errors on my credit report are affecting not only my financial standing but also my ability to secure essential resources for my household. I am asking for your assistance in ensuring that these bureaus take the necessary action to correct or remove this XXXX account from my credit report as required by law. I am deeply concerned about the ongoing damage this is causing and need your help to resolve this matter as quickly as possible.

Good afternoon, In XXXX and XXXX we called XXXX directly and made payments over the phone for the balance due. At that time we were told all balances were paid in full by the representative. XXXX then reported to the credit agencies that we were late. We called and made all payments with them directly and were not told of any further due balances. We have tried to resolve the error in reporting with XXXX directly and then refuse to fix the issue. We called again and paid another month 's balance and were not told of an additional balance being due. They then applied our payment to a previous month. On our end we believed everything was paid or we would've made a second payment. We were not told. They sent no communications or via email or phone call letting us know we were behind. We greatly appreciate any help in resolve this issue and fixing our credit report.
