Issue: Incorrect information on your report — Account status incorrect

Complaint narrative:
Last year and a half or so I have checked my credit reports. I found disputes with XXXX and Equifax and XXXX regarding during the pandemic I was on forbearance and they said that I would not get any kind of late penalties or anything show up on my credit report. I had paid on time for 15 years and I didn't think it was an issue I'd ask him every month whether anything would affect my credit while I was in forbearance. They said no. This bank was XXXX XXXX XXXX 

Second one was XXXX XXXX  and arrangement with them and I was not late I arranged on how much I could afford to pay and they accepted it. When I probably dispute on the incorrect information that I had late payments with one of the three credit bureaus if not all three it came back that they added an extra month of late payment. No information was ever given to me on who to contact and how to get in touch with anybody at the bank itself. 

The third was XXXX XXXX  XXXX  again I had arrangements made with them and they were reporting that I was late on payments delinquent in fact. 

Nothing was ever resolved there's no information for me to contact anybody at these Banks. My account was closed at all three because I paid everything off when I sold my house. even though all accounts are paid all these late and delinquent payments keep showing up. Like I said I thought during the pandemic the mortgage company was supposed to work with us. Also I have recently gotten XXXX  card and they constantly offer loan consolidation products and things like that saying " don't worry it won't affect your credit " but it did affect my credit. Several times. To the point where I've had seven inquiries into my credit in a short period of time. Is things like car loans and loan consolidation or trying to maybe see if you qualify for a mortgage or pre-qualified. 

I was not really aware of these things until I put an application to rent my rental that I am in now. They would not rent to me because of my poor credit report. And I had no idea about that. I've been trying for almost 2 years to try to correct this. And it's a specific person like a XXXX XXXX XXXX  that I have to catch at a certain time of day from the month or the week. Very strange. Very difficult to speak to someone who could help with this. Anyway I actually had cash so I told the landlord I'd give him six months rent up front. 

I'm denied rental places to rent because of the credit report, I'm not being able to consolidate any loans, I get pre-qualified often but then they say they're sorry but they can't help me. I need to buy a car but I don't think my credit is going to let me buy a car.

Company: EQUIFAX, INC.

Complaint narrative:
I lodged a complaint with these Bureaus a XXXX  ago, but unfortunately, the inaccurate information on my report still remains. I haven't received any communication from the Bureaus, except for the notification that you sent stating that the company has responded to my complaint. How can I be certain that they have thoroughly checked the inaccuracies on my report? What methods did they employ to validate the accounts? This whole situation is incredibly frustrating! It's been more than 30 days since I filed a complaint with these Bureaus, and yet the disputed accounts have not been updated. If this continues, I will have no choice but to take legal action due to the immense stress this has caused me. Moreover, I am also concerned about the security of my personal data, as it was affected by the Equifax, XXXX, and XXXX data breach.
