Product: Credit reporting or other personal consumer reports — Credit reporting
Issue: Incorrect information on your report — Old information reappears or never goes away
Company: EQUIFAX, INC.
State: TX

Complaint narrative:
XX/XX/XXXX To whom it may concern : I need your professional assistance. 

I am finding that no matter how much Present Positive credit information the credit bureaus should be reporting to my credit files monthly, they have refused to update my credit files with this information, and they are not raising my credit score accordingly. 

Instead, they are allowing old creditors that I have had nothing to do with for 5 years, the bureaus are allowing these old creditors to destroy and slander my name, and Present credit rating, by going along with them and falsely placing untruthful derogatory old account information onto my credit files. 

The bureaus are unjustly keeping my credit scores low, and they have caused my Present Creditors to lower my credit limits, due to the fraudulent false lies that they are reporting to my credit files, by RE-AGING, old False Derogatory, Negative Payment, and Account Status information from the old 5-year-old accounts. 

The credit bureaus have old XXXX accounts, being made to appear as if I have Brand New Collections, and Brand New Charge off accounts, as well as Past due payments, AND NONE OF THIS IS TRUE. 

For years I have had to go through this, every year like clockwork the credit bureaus continue to do this, just as they have already done for the beginning of this year XXXX. 

My credit files and credit scores have been further ruined by the wrongful false fraudulent RE-AGED DEBTS, AND ACCOUNTS that the credit bureaus continue to update as though they are new. 

This has happened so much, and for so long, that it is so obvious that this is being done deliberately. 
And this is why I am seeking your assistance, I have an excellent payment record, and the credit bureaus are deliberately not reporting my accurate credit rating information, and as stated they are deliberately keeping my credit scores in the low XXXX, thereby keeping me from conducting financial transactions that I should be free to make, like any other consumer. 

Every month I pay a mortgage, and other debts, and it is only fair that my credit reports reflect the true history of my payments. 

Not the made up lies that are being reported to keep me down. 

I would like to have someone at the credit bureaus in an upper managerial position to investigate the abuses that have been continually being done to my credit files.

Complaint narrative:
After reviewing my consumer report, I noticed that I had some late payments on an account that I was never late for. The consumer reporting agencies have played a very important role and have the ability to report consumer information as accurately as passible. I have never been late on payments for XXXX XXXX XXXX account # XXXX. Please investigate and provide proof with statements showing me where these payments were late. If proof can not be established, I demand that these payments be updated to on time as they should be because I was never late I have also attached a screenshot of the dates of XX/XX/2023 showing my payments being 60days late. How are my payments 60 days late but the previous month on XX/XX/2023 my payments were marked on time. 

According to 15 U.S Code 1681 the consumer reporting agencies must follow reasonable procedures to assure the maximum possible accuracy of the information concerning the individual about whom the report relates. In this case this violates my rights because inaccurate information is being reported by a consumer reporting agency.

Company: EQUIFAX, INC.
State: NC

Complaint narrative:
I have submitted a report to the FTC regarding the unauthorized credit inquiries, which are a clear violation of my consumer rights. 
I have disputed these inquiries with Equifax, providing evidence and documentation to support my claim that I did not authorize these inquiries and that they are inaccurately listed on my credit report. 
Despite these actions and the clear provisions of the FCRA, Equifax has failed to remove the unauthorized credit inquiries from my credit report, stating that they are accurate. This response is not in compliance with the FCRA, and it undermines the protection of my consumer rights. 

I am writing to request that Equifax takes immediate and corrective action to address this issue in compliancewiththeFCRA.

Company: EQUIFAX, INC.

Complaint narrative:
On XX/XX/2024, a notice of dispute regarding incomplete account information was delivered to EQUIFAX. EQUIFAX was given more than 30 days to reinvestigate the dispute letter, and this was the second attempt to dispute with EQUIFAX. Both times, EQUIFAX IGNORED my dispute attempts. Nothing at all was disputed and this is a violation of the FCRA 15 USC 1681i ( a ) ( 1 ) ( a ). This complaint is now about the fact that they violated my right by ignoring me twice. It is both unfair and negligent. By law, consumer reporting agencies are required to respond to disputes immediately when the letter has been received. I have proof that my dispute letters have been received by EQUIFAX.

Company: Paypal Holdings, Inc

Complaint narrative:
I am filing a complaint against PayPal regarding their handling of fraudulent transactions involving a scam artist. On XX/XX/XXXX and XX/XX/XXXX, I transferred a total of {$800.00} to an individual I later discovered was a scammer, believing them to be a legitimate tattoo artist. Upon realizing the fraudulent nature of the transactions on XX/XX/XXXX, I contacted PayPal to report the scam and request a refund. 

Despite providing evidence of the scam and requesting a refund, PayPal determined that the transactions were not fraudulent and denied my request for a refund. I believe PayPal 's decision was unjustified and inadequate given the circumstances. 

Action Requested : Investigate PayPal 's handling of fraudulent transactions and their decision-making process for issuing refunds. 
Provide me with a refund for the fraudulent transactions totaling {$800.00}. 
Implement measures to better protect consumers and improve the handling of fraudulent transactions in the future. 
I appreciate your attention to this matter and look forward to a resolution. 

Thank you. 

Sincerely, XXXX XXXX
