Complaint narrative:
Today when I checked my credit report file, Equifax has lowered my score XXXX points after illegally filing disputes that I never discussed or filed with Equifax. I reported Equifax violations against me in regards to the FCRA and they have retaliated against me. 
I have not had a conversation with anyone from Equifax since XX/XX/2022 pertaining to unauthorized accounts on my credit report. The rep removed the accounts after verifying CFPB, ftc, and police reports. I also disputed an incorrect address that was removed. 
Equifax is intentionally trying to harm me and my credit file/ score for reporting the violations.

Complaint narrative:
In XX/XX/XXXX I applied for, and was granted, Covid-19 mortgage relief. The first payment relief date was XX/XX/XXXX. 

At that time I was still current on my loan. The investor was XXXX XXXX & my loan was being serviced by XXXX XXXX XXXX. 

In XX/XX/XXXX XXXX XXXX sold the loan. Im not sure who the new investor is. The relief period ended in XXXX, XXXX. I made all 3 of the trial payments on time-XXXX, XXXX and XX/XX/XXXX. My mortgage account servicer, XXXX XXXX  XXXX, reported my loan past due for XXXX, XXXX, and XXXX. All 3 of those payments were made on or before the due date. 

My mortgage account is with XXXX XXXX  XXXX. 

I have complied, on time, with all of the conditions of my loan agreement ( s ).

I believe this is very unfair and against the intent of the US Governments Guidelines regarding Covid-19 forbearance policy.
