Issue: Incorrect information on your report — Account information incorrect
Company: EQUIFAX, INC.
State: GA

Complaint narrative:
I recently conducted a review of my credit report and found several items that have caused me significant distress. These items appear to be unverifiable, inaccurate, and questionable. Your agency has failed to ensure the accuracy of the information as required under 15 U.S. Code 1681e ( b ) Accuracy of Reports. This statute mandates that consumer reporting agencies must follow reasonable procedures to ensure the maximum possible accuracy of the information they report.

Furthermore, under 15 U.S. Code 1681i ( 5 ) Treatment of Inaccurate or Unverifiable Information, you are required to promptly delete or modify any information found to be inaccurate, incomplete, or unverifiable during a reinvestigation. If you are unable to provide me with verifiable proof of the accuracy of the disputed items within 15 days of your investigation, these accounts and the related information must be removed from my credit report. 

Additionally, under the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act ( FDCPA ), I do not recognize any of the alleged creditors or debt collectors. I have never entered into a valid contract with any of these entities, nor have I engaged in any transactions with them. As such, these accounts are fraudulent and and inaccurate information. 

Moreover, under the Fair Credit Billing Act, my right to privacy has been violated, and this breach infringes upon my rights as outlined in The Privacy Act of 1974. Removing the inaccurate and fraudulent information from my credit report will help restore my privacy and prevent further violations.

Complaint narrative:
Saturday, XX/XX/XXXX, my husband and I were out XXXX shopping. Before we left that morning, I made a gift card purchase at XXXX XXXX. We went to XXXX XXXX to look for a lamp, at the store we were told it was only available online. We were hungry, so we stopped for lunch and I ordered the lamp online. I put my wallet in my purse when I finished and hung my purse on my chair with my coat. Another couple sat behind us- they were seated after us, but left early as we were eating lunch. I never left our table. I went to get my wallet to pay for the bill, my purse was open and my wallet was gone. My husband called the manager over because he started to get suspicious of why the other couple left so early. The restaurant manager refused to let us see security footage, but provided the police phone number. 

We immediately reported to Bank of America and police as we were driving. When on the phone with BOA security, they said that XXXX XXXX charges more than {$1000.00} each were being processed for same amount. I said those arent ours, deny the charges. I told them to deny the charges as they were happening. We also received a text and a call from BOA while still in the car about a XXXX charge. We again said deny the charges, this time they did. 

For about 4 days, a temporary credit showed on our statement while they " investigated '' the claim. On XX/XX/XXXX, the charges reappeared on our statement with a denial of the claim saying that I authorized those charges. They refuse to take the charges off of our statement. They said the timeline didn't match up because the merchant processed my gift card purchase the monday following the incident. Yet, they were on a RECORDED line with me and the charges were happening and I was telling them to shut the card down. Part of protocol is to review all pending charges, which I did- I said I purchased the gift card and XXXX XXXX. I submitted a police report and supporting documents showing that my gift card purchase was made at XXXX XXXX  before we left our house/before the XXXX purchase XXXX They are using all of our documents to make their own fraud insurance claims at the same time as they are wrongly denying my claims and pushing charges onto us.

Complaint narrative:
Subject : Complaint Regarding Inaccurate Credit Reporting by XXXX, XXXX, and TransUnion Account # [ XXXX ] Dear CFPB, I am filing a formal complaint regarding inaccurate and misleading information being reported on my credit file by XXXX, XXXX, and TransUnion for the account listed as XXXX XXXX XXXX with account number [ XXXX ]. 

The following issues exist with the reporting of this account : XXXX. Charge-Off Status : The account has been reported as charged off ; however, I have not received any formal notification, including a Form 1099-C, verifying that the debt has been charged off in compliance with IRS regulations.

2. Purchased by Another Lender : The account is marked as purchased by another lender on certain reports. I never authorized or consented to the sale of my alleged debt to a third party. 
XXXX. Inconsistent Reporting : The details reported by the credit bureaus are inconsistent, including the dates of last activity, the reporting date, and comments about the account status. These inconsistencies violate the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ), which mandates accurate and verifiable information. 

I have attempted to resolve these inaccuracies directly with the credit bureaus, but no action has been taken to verify or correct this information. I believe these actions harm my creditworthiness and may constitute unfair and deceptive practices.

I request the CFPB to investigate this matter and ensure compliance with applicable consumer protection laws. I also request that any unverifiable or inaccurate information be promptly removed from my credit report. 

Enclosed are copies of my credit reports with the disputed account highlighted, along with any additional supporting documentation. 

Thank you for your assistance in resolving this matter. 

Sincerely, XXXX XXXX XXXX ( XXXX ) XXXX

In the quiet humdrum of everyday life, a sudden jolt shattered the tranquility : I had become a victim of identity theft. Like a thief in the night, unseen hands had stolen my personal information, plunging me into a bewildering maze of uncertainty. With each fraudulent transaction and unauthorized account, the breach of trust cut deep, leaving me grappling with the unsettling reality of a violated identity. Yet, in the midst of chaos, a glimmer of resilience emerged, a resolve to reclaim what was rightfully mine and restore the harmony stolen by unseen adversaries. These are the following accounts need to be removed :

Complaint narrative:
I obtained a copy of my consumer report and notified these agencies multiple times, specifically on XX/XX/year> the most recent, about the items I disputed. Despite these notifications, the matter remains unresolved in a manner that is fair and equitable to me, the consumer, as required by the Fair Credit Reporting Act. I sent my notice to these agencies, which included a FTC Identity Theft Report, A FTC Affidavit and I also filed a complaint with the CFPB. Along with this letter, I have also included an Affidavit of Truth to further substantiate my claim.

I explained the violations your agency committed under the FCRA, while informing your agency of the fact that these items were reported without my expressed, written consent. This leads to way of identity theft, which leads to a violation of the civil liability section of the FCRA, as I informed you in the previous notices, which I have attached once more again for your record! 

This is a FINAL NOTICE to give your agency an opportunity to correct this situation or I will be forced to protect my credit rating and file a lawsuit against your agency. I have proven to your agency on many occasions that these items are a violation of the FCRA and should in fact be DELETED but your agency continues to violate me so I dont know what else to do besides suing your agency at this point. 

I have suffered emotional distress as a result of this matter and I demand this matter be resolved in a fair and equitable manner, which still hasnt been done

Complaint narrative:
" The Fair Credit Reporting Act ( 15 U.S. Code 1681 ) says ( 1 ) The banking system is dependent upon fair and accurate credit reporting. Inaccurate credit reports directly impair the efficiency of the banking system, and unfair credit reporting methods undermine the public confidence which is essential to the continued functioning of the banking system.

So whenever there is a violation under the FCRA, it impairs the efficiency of the banking system. This is a violation of TILA US Code 1666B since I was never late.

I recently reviewed my consumer report and noticed an incorrect late payment record on my XXXX XXXX  account [ XXXX ]. I have always maintained timely payments on this account. Under the Fair Credit Billing Act ( FCBA ) and the Truth in Lending Act ( TILA ), creditors are required to accurately report consumer transactions and provide a mechanism for correcting errors in a timely manner. Please conduct an investigation into this matter, and if you can not provide documentary evidence of these supposed late payments, I demand these payments to be updated to on time as they should be as I was NEVER late. I expect these updates to be made promptly, in compliance with the law.

Complaint narrative:
I pulled a copy of my credit report and noticed a charge off, which is defined as debt that has been discharged that your agency took a tax write off on. After I contacted the IRS, they explained that it was illegal that you were reporting this information on my credit report, with trying to collect or having a charged off status.

According to the IRS, this is tax fraud and I am not afraid to report you for this. As is my right, I am demanding that you DELETE this inaccurate information from my credit report and demand you to send me a copy of the 1099-C to the address above or via email.

Your agency has violated the maximum possible accuracy law under the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ) which is 15 USC 1681e ( b ) as you are clearly reporting information that is NOT 100 % accurate. Should you continue to report this information, this leads to you violating 15 USC 1681s-2, because you now have reasonable cause to believe the information is inaccurate, so you would WILLFULLY continue to violate various federal laws by continuing to report this information thats harming my character.
