Company: EQUIFAX, INC.
State: FL

Complaint narrative:
I am filing this report due to a critical concern regarding my FICO score. This is the fourth time I am submitting a complaint in regard to the same situation that has happened multiple times over the past year ( XX/XX/XXXX, XX/XX/XXXX, XX/XX/XXXX, XX/XX/XXXX ). On XX/XX/XXXX, my credit score through Equifax was XXXX. The score factors indicated that I have no missed payments, I have limited the use of my available revolving credit, I have an established credit history, and I have shown recent use of credit cards and/or bank issued open-ended accounts ( see attachment ). On XX/XX/XXXX, my credit score indicated a decrease to XXXX. No factors were given for the drop. The only activity indicated for the period was " The total balance on all you Bankcard account ( s ) has decreased by {$41.00}. '' My credit report has no negative accounts or information. How can my score decrease when there was no negative activity ( reported or otherwise ) whatsoever within 18 days? I have no inactive accounts reported to any of the credit bureaus. I also have only two credit cards reported and a mortgage, none of which are in delinquency or late. I have contacted the credit bureaus multiple times in the past to inquire why my credit score has gone down without any reason. Not a single customer service representative at any of the credit bureaus I contacted have provided an explanation. Over a 25-year span of building my immaculate credit, this significant drop is catastrophic and is a detriment to my personal and business financial burden ( i.e., line of credit, merchant account, property rentals, mortgage, insurance, credit cards, auto loans, equipment rental, terms of leases, business investments, and bank loans ). Credit standing is my blueprint and having a lower score can affect my standing with any reputable financial institution.
