Product: Credit reporting or other personal consumer reports — Credit reporting
Issue: Incorrect information on your report — Information belongs to someone else
Company: EQUIFAX, INC.
State: LA

Complaint narrative:
Multiple fraudulent accounts and credit inquiries appeared on my Equifax credit report due to a recent data breach involving my personal information. I have never opened or authorized these accounts or inquiries. I filed an FTC Identity Theft Report ( Report XXXX XXXX ) and sent Equifax XXXX mail requesting that these accounts be blocked and permanently deleted under FCRA XXXX ( XXXXXXXX XXXX XXXXXXXX ), XXXX, and XXXX. I also demanded that they be permanently blocked from reinsertion under XXXX ( a ) ( XXXX ) ( C ). Despite receiving the required documentation, Equifax has not removed all of the fraudulent items. This violates my rights under the FCRA and subjects me to ongoing harm. I am requesting that the CFPB ensure Equifax : Immediately block and delete all fraudulent accounts and inquiries I have identified. Permanently block these items from being reinserted in the future. Provide written confirmation of the deletions.

Company: CITIBANK, N.A.
State: AZ

Complaint narrative:
Citi cancelled my XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX ) and XXXX  XXXX  card ( XXXX ) despite my perfect payment history and high XXXX XXXX ( XXXX in XX/XX/year> ). 



The issue arose from XXXX check payments to account XXXX, both scheduled via XXXX XXXX  XXXX XXXX to arrive well before their due dates. Due to XXXX internal processing delays ( holding mailed checks for over XXXX business days ), payments were not posted promptly. Concerned about potential loss, I contacted Citi each time, explained the situation, and initiated a stop-payment only after making full same-day electronic payments. 



XXXX XXXX confirmed in writing that the payments were scheduled on time. Citi representatives acknowledged ongoing payment processing delays but never warned that my corrective actions could lead to account closure. 



I am requesting : Reinstatement of both accounts. 
Removal of any negative credit reporting. 
Written acknowledgment that the delays were due to XXXX processing, not customer fault. 




This closure is unjustified, entirely caused by XXXX own payment handling issues, and has damaged my long-standing customer relationship. 






If you want, I can also give you instructions on exactly where and how to file this with the CFPB and XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX so it goes to the right people immediately.

Company: EQUIFAX, INC.
State: IL

Complaint narrative:
Account name XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX Account number XXXX rights under the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ), 15 U.S.C. 1681i and 1681e ( b ). 

Upon review of my credit file, I have identified multiple factual inaccuracies in the way this account is being reported : 1. Balance Inconsistency : The account shows a High Balance of {$28000.00} but a current and past due balance of {$35000.00}, which is mathematically impossible without supporting transactions or charges.

2. Contradictory Payment History : The account reflects a Charge-off status, yet also shows OK payment ratings for months after the reported last payment of XX/XX/year>. 
3. Incorrect Loan Terms : The account is listed with terms of {$0.00} per month, paid monthly for 73 months, which is illogical and inaccurate for an installment loan.

4. Reporting Conflicts : The remarks section states Unpaid Balance Charged Off, yet the reported balance remains at {$35000.00}, creating confusion and inconsistency.

Under FCRA 1681e ( b ), Equifax is required to follow reasonable procedures to assure maximum possible accuracy of the information it reports. This account, as it is currently being reported, contains multiple factual errors that misrepresent the true status and history of the account.

I am requesting full reinvestigation of this account, verify the accuracy of each disputed item, and provide me with : Written documentation from the furnisher supporting each piece of disputed information, OR Immediate deletion of the account if the furnisher can not provide complete, verifiable evidence.

Please complete your reinvestigation within the 30-day period mandated by FCRA 1681i and send me the updated results in writing. 

Sincerely, XXXX XXXX

Company: Experian Information Solutions Inc.

Complaint narrative:
I am filing this complaint because the consumer reporting agency failed to meet its obligations under 15 U.S.C. 1681i ( a ) ( 7 ) of the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ), which requires the agency to provide, upon request, a detailed description of the reinvestigation procedures used to verify disputed information. I specifically requested the name and contact information of the furnisher, the identity of the person the agency communicated with, and the documentation used to confirm the accuracy of the disputed account. The agency did not provide this information within the 15-day timeframe required by law. This lack of response is a clear violation of my rights under the FCRA.

Complaint narrative:
On XX/XX/XXXX, XX/XX/XXXX, and XX/XX/XXXX, I disputed several accounts on my XXXX credit report that are fraudulent and do not belong to me. I requested proof of ownership, documentation, and the method of verification. XXXX verified the accounts without providing any supporting documentation or creditor contact information. These accounts remain on my report, harming my creditworthiness. This violates the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ) 611 and 609, as XXXX  failed to conduct a reasonable investigation and failed to provide the requested verification. I am requesting immediate deletion of all fraudulent accounts and related inquiries.

The same with Transunion and they still keep giving me the run around. I didn't give these companies permission to run my credit, so I want them off immediately.
