Product: Credit reporting or other personal consumer reports — Credit reporting
Issue: Incorrect information on your report — Account status incorrect
Company: EQUIFAX, INC.
State: NY

Complaint narrative:
My accounts was never late! I have had exceptional payment history with XXXX  XXXX and all payments were placed on Autopay. This late payment that is reporting is a result on a systematic error on their end processing my payment.

This was clearly a billing error made my the company and is not a reflection of my payment experience which violates USC Code 1681eb. This error has caused severe hard to my reputation, my character, my mode of living and to my family!

I demand the late payment reported to be removed/updated.

They are not in compliance with the following law. 15 USC 1666b and its requirements set the standards and the guidance for a creditor to treat a payment as late, yet they are reporting a payment as late and they did not comply with the law!

15 USC 1666b ( a ) Time to make payments A creditor may not treat a payment on a credit card account under an open end consumer credit plan as late for any purpose, unless the creditor has adopted reasonable procedures designed to ensure that each periodic statement including the information required by section 1637 ( b ) of this title is mailed or delivered to the consumer not later than 21 days before the payment due date.

I have requested proof that this information was mailed or delivered 21 days before the payment due date and this information was requested in good faith pursuant rule 1002 and It was never provided.

This is unfair, illegal, fraudulent, and not equitable to me as a consumer!

Complaint narrative:
I am writing to formally dispute the collection account associated with XXXXXXXX XXXX that has been reported on my credit file. The account number in question is XXXX XXXX - XXXX for {$1200.00}, and it has been listed on my credit report with XXXX, Experian, and XXXX. 

This account pertains to a maintenance fee for a timeshare that I have already paid in full. The timeshare purchase itself was settled, and the maintenance fees, which are billed annually for the use of the property, were for services I did not utilize. It is inappropriate to charge and subsequently report these fees as collections when they are tied to a service I never used. 

It is apparent that XXXXXXXX XXXX XXXX empowered the collection agency to use credit reporting as a coercive tactic to force payment, which is manipulative and unfair to consumers. My credit score, which was previously around XXXX, has dropped to XXXX because of this collection account, despite my prompt payment of the full amount as soon as I was notified. This substantial drop in my credit score is unwarranted and unjustified, particularly when the fees in question should not have been sent to collections in the first place. 

Furthermore, it is clear that the credit bureaus rely on simplistic algorithms and superficial first-level reporting, rather than conducting a thorough investigation into disputes like mine. The process unfairly favors merchants and collection agencies, and in this case, has allowed an illegitimate debt to harm my credit standing. The failure to properly investigate disputes, instead relying on automated systems, undermines the fairness of your services and puts consumers at a disadvantage. 

I respectfully request that you re-investigate this matter, remove the derogatory mark from my credit report, and ensure that such predatory practices by XXXXXXXX XXXX XXXX and their collection agency are not allowed to persist. 

If this issue is not resolved promptly and fairly, I will have no choice but to escalate my complaint to regulatory agencies such as the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau ( CFPB ) and the Federal Trade Commission ( FTC ). 

Thank you for your immediate attention to this matter. I look forward to your prompt response and resolution. 

Sincerely, XXXX XXXX

Complaint narrative:
Dear CFPB, I am filling a complaint regarding unresolved issues with my credit report. 
On XX/XX/2024, I submitted a formal dispute to the credit bureaus addressing numerous inaccuracies and unauthorized inquiries. Despite 31 days passing i have yet to receive any acknowledgment or resolution, These inaccuracies, including falsely reported collections, have led to service denials and increased interest rates, impacting my financial well being and my ability to secure essential funding for me, my business and life goals. Despite multiple attempts to dispute these items, i have no received adequate verification. And I will also mention that the items listed negatively that i am disputing are falsely reporting. 

According to section 611 ( a ) of the FCRA, the credit reporting bureaus are require to address the disputes within 30 days. Since this has not occured, I am demanding the immediate removal of the inaccurate items from my credit report. 

The failure of the credit bureaus to respond promptly has caused significant harm as well as their falsely reporting of information. I am prepared to purse legal action if the issue remains unsolved. 

Thank you for addressing this matter promptly.

Company: CAPITAL ONE FINANCIAL CORPORATION

Complaint narrative:
I discovered that a hard inquiry into my credit report had been initiated by Capital One through XXXX on XX/XX/year>. The problem is that I have no business or accounts with Capital One, so I have to assume that I've been the victim of identity fraud. As well, upon looking at my full credit report with XXXX I quickly discovered that two additional phone numbers that don't belong to me had also been added to my credit report. 

Since then I've placed an initial fraud report on my credit report, and have filed a dispute with XXXX to have the two additional phone numbers removed- which just leaves the hard inquiry currently on my account from Capital One.
