Consumer complaint received 2024-11-04 00:00:00
Product: Credit reporting or other personal consumer reports — Credit reporting
Issue: Problem with a company's investigation into an existing problem — Was not notified of investigation status or results
Company: EQUIFAX, INC.
State: FL

Complaint narrative:
I am submitting a complaint regarding Equifax 's failure to verify the debt or correct the many errors on my credit report. This is unacceptable. I initially disputed these items over 100 days ago with a letter sent on XX/XX/year>, and I have sent additional letters since then with all required identification and address documentation included each time : photo ID, Social Security card, and a utility bill. Despite providing ample information for verification, Equifax has not verified or updated the errors, nor have they deleted any incorrect information as required by law. 

The Fair Credit Reporting Act mandates that, in cases where documentation is provided, unverified items must be corrected or deleted. At this point, Equifax 's failure to act violates these protections, and I am left with errors that negatively impact my credit profile. Below are the specific accounts and errors that remain unaddressed : XXXX XXXX - XXXX : Unverified, incorrect last activity date, incorrect payment history. UPDATE TO NEVER LATE. 

XXXX XXXX XXXXXXXX : Unverified, high balance and credit limit incorrect, date of last payment incorrect. UPDATE TO NEVER LATE. 

XXXX XXXX XXXXXXXX : Unverified, incorrect high balance, last reported date incorrect, incorrect payment history. UPDATE TO NEVER LATE. 

CXXXX XXXX XXXX XXXXXXXX : Unverified, incorrect high balance, incorrect date of last payment. UPDATE TO NEVER LATE. 

XXXX XXXX - XXXX : Unverified, incorrect payment history. UPDATE TO NEVER LATE. 

XXXX - XXXX : Unverified, incorrect high balance, date of last payment incorrect, incorrect payment history. PLEASE DELETE. 

XXXX - multiple accounts : Unverified, incorrect payment history. UPDATE TO NEVER LATE. 

I am attaching the 5 letters that have been sent to them, which included my identification. I am also uploading proof of my identity in regards to this dispute.

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:
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 my privacy with my consumer report, since I control what is listed and what is not. In the event that any accounts are reported without my written consent, that is considered identity theft.

This is a violation of both 15 U.S. Code 1681b ( 2 ) and 15 U.S. Code 1681c-2. This leads way to civil liability against the credit reporting agency for negligent and willful noncompliance under 15 U.S. Code 1681n, which allows for {$1000.00} per violation, for account listed without my expressed written consent.

Furthermore, I require tangible proof of the information being validated rather than a computer-generated affirmation in accordance with The Fair Credit Reporting Act, Public Law 91-506, Title VI, Section 611, Subsection A-D.

Could you please supply the following?

For me to follow up, please include the names and business addresses of all the people you checked the information with.

The date that you got in touch with each information provider.

the communication channel that was utilized to confirm the data.

Additionally, I would like to know if the furnisher gave you my address, DOB, or SSN.

Please send me an updated credit report after you've finished your inquiry and made the required changes.
