Company: EQUIFAX, INC.
State: NY

Complaint narrative:
The credit reporting agencies Equifax, Experian, and TransUnion are willfully reporting materially inaccurate, unverifiable, and conflicting information on my credit reports across multiple tradelines. These violations directly violate Metro 2 standards, FCRA 1681e ( b ), 1681g ( 609 ), 1681i, and reflect willful non-compliance under 1681n. 

XXXX XXXXXXXX Charge-Off Account : Experian reports stacked late payments ( 30, 60, 90, 120, 150 days late ) while Equifax and TransUnion show different histories. This reckless inconsistency violates Metro 2 data integrity standards, FCRA 1681e ( b ), and constitutes furnishing incomplete, unverifiable data. 

XXXX Account : Experian is reporting a 30-day late payment that neither Equifax nor TransUnion report . The inconsistent late payment reporting demonstrates failure to maintain maximum possible accuracy and Metro 2 compliance. 

XXXX XXXX XXXX Account : Equifax and Experian report this collection account while TransUnion does not. This conflict directly violates Metro 2 uniform data reporting standards and demonstrates lack of verifiable proof.

Personal Information Errors : All three bureaus continue to report multiple name variations, outdated addresses, and incorrect personal identifiers, improperly associating me with accounts and inquiries that may not belong to me. This violates FCRA 1681e ( b ) 's accuracy mandate.

Despite multiple disputes and requests for verification, the bureaus have failed to lawfully reinvestigate these matters under FCRA 1681i. Their continued furnishing of inaccurate, unverifiable information after notice constitutes willful non-compliance under FCRA 1681n. This ongoing misconduct directly damages my creditworthiness, employment, and financial well-being.

Company: EQUIFAX, INC.
State: PA

Complaint narrative:
Equifax is currently reporting a closed account from XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX ( account ending in XXXXXXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX ) with a late payment notation, dated XX/XX/2022. This account is listed as closed or paid with a XXXX-dollar balance, and I dispute the continued reporting of the late payment as inaccurate, outdated, and misleading. The account has been fully resolved, there is no outstanding obligation, and yet the derogatory payment history remains, damaging my credit profile unnecessarily. 

While I recognize that late payment history can remain on a report for a period of time, Equifax is still obligated under 15 U.S.C. 1681e ( b ) of the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ) to ensure the maximum possible accuracy and fairness of the information it furnishes. Continuing to reflect derogatory payment activity on a closed and fully satisfied account does not meet that standard, especially when there is no ongoing risk, obligation, or delinquency associated with the account. Additionally, this negative notation is not being reported in a manner that contextualizes the accounts resolution or current status, leading to an unjustified negative impact on my credit score. 

XXXX failure to reassess the relevance and fairness of continuing to report a derogatory mark on a closed, XXXX-balance account demonstrates a broader issue with compliance. This reporting does not provide creditors with an accurate or current picture of my financial behavior. In fact, it actively misrepresents it, resulting in credit denials and unnecessary scrutiny that are not warranted by the reality of my financial position.

Complaint narrative:
I am writing to formally dispute the continued presence of inaccurate information on my credit report, despite multiple previous attempts to rectify these errors. Under the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ), you are obligated to ensure the accuracy and completeness of the information you report. 

These inaccuracies have adversely affected my creditworthiness and have caused undue stress and financial hardship. 

I would like to draw your attention to recent enforcement actions that underscore the importance of accurate credit reporting : The CFPB sued XXXX for failing to properly investigate consumer disputes, resulting in the inclusion of incorrect information on credit reports. 
XXXX XXXX  was fined nearly {$28.00} XXXX for providing inaccurate, negative information about its customers to credit reporting agencies and for delays in correcting errors. 
XXXX  faced a {$23.00} XXXX fine for failures related to tenant screening and security freezes, which included not ensuring the accuracy of rental background checks. 

These cases highlight the serious consequences of non-compliance with the FCRA. 

I am requesting that you : 1. Conduct a thorough and impartial reinvestigation of the disputed items.

2. Delete or correct all inaccurate, incomplete, or unverifiable information.

3. Provide me with a copy of the updated credit report reflecting these changes.

Please be advised that failure to comply with these requests may compel me to seek legal remedies, including filing complaints with the CFPB and pursuing litigation for damages resulting from your non-compliance.

Complaint narrative:
I am submitting this complaint due to a knowingly false and harmful collection account being reported by XXXX XXXX XXXX to Equifax, XXXX XXXX XXXX The debt allegedly stems from a XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX, which was ultimately dismissed. Despite this, XXXX XXXX is reporting a {$7200.00} collection for XXXXXXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX which I do not owe. 

On XX/XX/XXXX, I sent certified debt validation letters with legal documentation to XXXX XXXX at XXXX known addresses. They were received on XX/XX/XXXX and XX/XX/XXXX, according to USPS tracking. These packages included : Court dismissal records showing I do not owe this debt A certificate of completion from the Rent Well program proving I was eligible for assistance that the landlord never pursued A letter from Rent Well confirming the landlord never reached out for payment, despite being offered the opportunity Furthermore, the apartment complex was sold in XX/XX/XXXX to XXXX XXXX XXXX for {$54.00} XXXX, making it highly questionable who, if anyone, has standing to pursue this alleged debt. 

Despite being provided with clear documentation, XXXX XXXX has not responded, has continued reporting the false debt, and Equifax has refused to remove it, citing verification from the furnisher. This constitutes : FCRA violations under 623 ( a ) ( 1 ) ( A ), 623 ( a ) ( 3 ), and 611 FDCPA violations under 809 ( b ) for continued collection activity without validation This false reporting has damaged my credit, caused emotional distress, and interfered with financial goals such as pursuing home ownership and private student loans. I have had sleepless nightsXXXX XXXX XXXX and XXXX triggers tied to past financial XXXX  and XXXX  XXXX.
