Issue: Improper use of your report — Credit inquiries on your report that you don't recognize
Company: EQUIFAX, INC.
State: TX

Complaint narrative:
Despite multiple attempts, I have been unable to resolve the issue of fraudulent inquiries appearing on my consumer report. These inquiries are not associated with me in any way, and I bear no responsibility for them. Their presence has caused significant mental and financial distress. As a victim of identity theft, I have no alternative but to consider legal action if this matter is not appropriately addressed. These inaccurate and fraudulent items on my consumer report have hindered my ability to purchase my dream house and provide for my family 's needs. The impact on my financial well-being has been substantial. For your reference, I have attached a copy of the letter I previously sent to the Federal Trade Commission ( FTC ), which outlines this issue and seeks resolution.

I am listing accounts below that have been reported inaccurately on my credit report. In compliance with the Fair Credit Reporting Act and as a gesture of respect to the Federal Trade Commission Committee on accuracy and completeness of credit information I am formally writing in today to dispute negative information appearing on my credit. This incorrect information is greatly hindering me from getting the credit score I deserve and hopefully, this letter will resolve all the issues on my credit.

Complaint narrative:
I contacted the collection agency around XX/XX/year> to validate this debt. They refused to send over the documents requested. I even reached out to the original creditor to get this information. Experian handled my dispute and claimed they verified it. This is deceitful tactic. How can one verify the information without the proper paperwork. Neither of the agencies or companies could provide the information. Another issue is that the payment history says I made payments on the debt which is false. I disputed this debt and also on the report it says invalid dates. If the dates is invalid meaning the report with this agency is not 100 % accurate. I am entitled to an accurate report. Which this account thats not mines. I ask the collection agency for the validation of this debt. Where are the original documents. 
XXXX ) I will need to see the contract between you and the original creditor.

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

Complaint narrative:
I am writing to formally dispute inaccurate late payment entries on my credit report regarding my account with XXXX  XXXX ( Account # XXXX ). These late payments appear to be reported in error, as the account is marked as XXXX across all bureaus and there is no valid evidence to support these entries. This is a violation of the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ) and my rights as a consumer. 

Details : Account Name : XXXX  XXXX # XXXX Late Payments : The account is marked as Current across all three credit bureaus, yet late payments are reported inconsistently : XXXX : Reports 30 days late ( XX/XX/XXXX ) and 60 days late ( XX/XX/XXXX ). 
XXXX : XXXX 30 days late ( XX/XX/XXXX ) and 60 days late ( XX/XX/XXXX ). 
Equifax : XXXX 30 days late ( XX/XX/XXXX ), 60 days late ( XX/XX/XXXX ), and 120 days late ( XX/XX/XXXX ). 
This is a major discrepancy because : The Payment Status is listed as Current. 
The Past Due amount is {$0.00} across all bureaus, meaning no payments were late or owed. 
2. High Credit Discrepancy : XXXX and XXXX : List the High Credit as {$510.00}. 
Equifax : Lists the High Credit as {$0.00}, which is incorrect and inconsistent with other bureaus. 
3. Future Reporting Dates : XXXX and XXXX : " Last Reported '' date is XX/XX/XXXX. 
Equifax : " Last Reported '' date is XX/XX/XXXX. 
Reporting dates in the future violate FCRA Section 607 ( b ), which requires timely and accurate reporting. 
XXXX. Date Last Active : XXXX : XX/XX/XXXX. 
XXXX : XX/XX/XXXX. 
Equifax : XX/XX/XXXX. 
These discrepancies suggest inaccuracies in the account activity information. 
XXXX. Payment History Contradictions : The Payment History shows late payments for specific months ( XXXX, XXXX, and XX/XX/XXXX ), even though the account status is listed as Current with no past due amounts. 




Violation of Consumer Protection Laws : Violations of 15 U.S.C. 1681 ( FCRA ) : 1. 15 U.S.C. 1681e ( b ) : Credit reporting agencies are required to ensure maximum possible accuracy of consumer information. Reporting late payments on a current account violates this standard. 
2. 15 U.S.C. 1681i ( a ) ( 1 ) ( A ) : I have the right to dispute any inaccurate information on my credit report. The bureau must conduct a reasonable reinvestigation to verify its accuracy.

3. 15 U.S.C. 1681i ( a ) ( 5 ) : If the disputed information can not be verified as accurate, it must be promptly deleted or corrected.

4. 15 U.S.C. 1681s-2 ( a ) ( 1 ) ( A ) : Information furnishers, such as creditors, are prohibited from knowingly reporting inaccurate information.

5. 15 U.S.C. 1681s-2 ( b ) : Upon receiving notice of a dispute, the furnisher must investigate, review relevant information, and report its findings to the credit bureaus.

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:
During my prior XXXX  I became a victim of identity theft due to the XXXX data breach of XXXX. Numerous accounts and applications were submitted without my knowledge or consent while I was in XXXX XXXX. After my release I received my settlement payment from XXXX for the breach. XXXX also removed all of the debts from my XXXX credit report and gave me further instructions to help guide me to credit recovery with the other credit agencies and furnishers. However I have not been so lucky with transunion and XXXX  or the credit furnishers thus far. These debts not only remain in violation of the FCRA but also in violation of IRS codes and regulations. Aside of the debts being fraudulent and still remaining on my report I've also been made aware they are ( charge off profit loss debts ) meaning these credit furnishers received compensation from the irs and did not provide me with a 1099c. To be more specific, these credit furnishers include XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX
