Consumer complaint received 2020-11-22 00:00:00
Product: Credit reporting, credit repair services, or other personal consumer reports — Credit reporting
Issue: Unable to get your credit report or credit score — Problem getting your free annual credit report
Company: EQUIFAX, INC.
State: NY

Complaint narrative:
REQUEST FOR FREE ANNUAL CREDIT REPORT!!! 
I believe that each consumer reporting agency has invalidated the true spirit of the Fair and Accurate Credit Transactions Act. The Act first established XX/XX/2003 was intended to establish a plan whereas common American citizens could obtain a copy of their credit reports at least once a year free of charge. Since each credit reporting agency now has marketing divisions such as XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX, XXXX  XXXX  and XXXX  XXXX, the automation system to obtain the free annual reports is looped into an information request to steer citizens into additional product offers that are excessive and unnecessary. Even though I may have received an approval of an updated credit report from either XXXX, XXXX XXXX or Equifax respectively, it is unfair that I need to do a mail request since I can submit my personal information through the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau ( CFPB ) portal. I believe that since the CFPB is the sole responsible oversight party of the Fair Credit Reporting Act, its imperative that any additional solicitation of information from the credit bureaus should be blocked permanently. I along with any other citizen should receive a free credit report upon request. The credit reporting agencies are an important aspect of the national banking system to properly function, but the current aggressive marketing campaign soliciting citizens for an arbitrary FICO score has gone too far, including but not limited to XXXX  XXXX. We must return to a common ground that is fair for all consumers in the United States, and we must be able to request additional marketing on our own terms. Accordingly, I am making a request for a free credit report with confirmation number to my attached email address. Thank you. 
XXXX XXXX

Issue: Problem with a purchase shown on your statement — Credit card company isn't resolving a dispute about a purchase on your statement
Company: Bread Financial Holdings, Inc.
State: OH

Complaint narrative:
I made a purchase of {$8.00} on XX/XX/03 with XXXX XXXX credit card. When I went back to website to pay my bill, they forwarded already paid balance of {$2.00} from previous purchase. I called customer service and talked to lady who said it'll soon be taken care of. I waited a week to went back to website to pay the amount but they instead of resolving the issue, added {$2.00} one more time. I called again and the guy told me ( in really lethargic way ) to pay my {$8.00} and the matter will be resolved and I would see {$0.00} balance on my card. I did what I was told, and lo and behold I got an email to pay the remaining {$5.00}.

The customer service is in my opinion based oversees and they seem not to understand the problem and when I asked to talk to supervisor there was no response. 
I got frustrated with the back and forth calls and want to resolve this issue, but as I see it, I'll end up paying the amount I don't even owe. 
Let 's see if this complaint will do anything and I won't have to pay this illegitimated amount. 
Thanks

Issue: Problem with a credit reporting company's investigation into an existing problem — Their investigation did not fix an error on your report
Company: EQUIFAX, INC.
State: TX

Complaint narrative:
I have sent several letters to Equifax showing them that there are accounts reporting as collections on my credit report that dont even have a collectors name on them. And Equifax only responds by saying the accounts are verified as accurate. How can these accounts possibly be accurate if they dint even have the name of the company reporting them?! And why isnt Equifax fixing this on my report? It seems like Im just send letters to robots and all they do is verify. These accounts are NOT accurate but Equifax keeps reporting them regardless? Some of the accounts dont even show I disputed them? Is Equifax allowed to just ignore the disputes the consumers send in? And just keep reporting the information incorrectly? Seems like there should be some regulations they have to follow? I will be contacting a lawyer about these three accounts and the fact that Equifax keeps reporting them even after I have reported their errors to them.
