Product: Credit reporting or other personal consumer reports — Credit reporting
Issue: Improper use of your report — Reporting company used your report improperly
Company: EQUIFAX, INC.
State: FL

Complaint narrative:
I am writing to file a complaint and also bring to your serious attention regarding the inaccurate information displayed on my credit reports by XXXX, Equifax XXXX XXXX. 

The information reported by XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX ( Account # XXXX ), which appears to be in flagrant violation of numerous consumer protection laws and federal regulations. Specifically, the following violations have come to light : 1. Violation of 15 US Code 1681a ( 2 ) ( B ) concerning charge-offs and repossessions.

2. Contravention of 15 US Code 1681c ( 2 ) by blocking information, potentially facilitating identity theft.

3. Breach of 15 US Code 1681e ( b ) by failing to ensure maximum accuracy in reporting.

4. Non-compliance with 15 US Code 1681a ( 2 ) in regard to definitions and rules of construction.

5. Breach of 15 US Code 1692c concerning communication related to debt collection.

6. Violation of 15 US Code 1692g regarding improper reporting of debt collections.

7. Disregard for 15 US Code 1601 which outlines Congressional findings and the declaration of purpose regarding consumer protection.

8. Failure to adhere to 15 US Code 1681a ( 2 ) ( A ) ( i ) pertaining to late payments.

9. Violation of 15 US Code 1681b ( a ) ( 1 ) ( 2 ) regarding permissible purposes for obtaining consumer credit reports. 

These violations not only constitute serious breaches of the law but also have significant adverse effects on me as a consumer. Furthermore, I must express my dismay at being instructed once again to contact your institution to dispute information that is clearly not mine, which amounts to yet another violation. 

It is imperative that immediate action is taken to rectify these errors and remove any and all harmful, unlawful, deceptive, illegal, and fraudulent information from my credit report. Failure to do so may result in further legal action, with jurisdiction in a venue convenient to me. 

I trust that you will address these matters with the urgency and seriousness they warrant, and I anticipate a prompt resolution to this troubling situation.

Complaint narrative:
Between XXXX XXXX, I paid off Loans 3, 5 and 13 in full and have the payment fullfillment letter to prove it although it is VERY vague and does not list these loans specifically by their number, just their disbursement date. On XX/XX/XXXX, I paid off Loan 13. Mohela now shows as of XX/XX/2024 that these loans still carry a balance and even have late payments despite 2 of these loans carrying a negative balance ( XXXX $ and XXXX $ ). How is this possible when 1. I have paid these loans off and 2. They should actually be getting credited to pay towards other loans? I waited on hold for over an hour and a half on XX/XX/XXXX with no answer. These loans I have paid off also show an upcoming payment date on XX/XX/XXXX when it shouldnt because they are paid in full.

Company: EQUIFAX, INC.
State: FL

Complaint narrative:
I am writing to file a formal complaint regarding inaccurate information reported on my credit report by XXXX, Equifax XXXX XXXX concerning XXXX Account XXXX : XXXX. The information in question pertains to a charge-off that has been included on my credit report without legal basis. Despite the presence of this charge-off on my credit report, I have not received a 1099-C form for the associated debt after making multiple attempts. The absence of such documentation raises concerns about the legality of the reported charge-off. The inclusion of this inaccurate information on my credit report is damaging to my financial standing and constitutes a violation of the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ), specifically 15 U.S.C. 1681 ( e ) ( b ), which mandates that information reported to credit bureaus must be 100 % accurate. I respectfully request that the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau investigate this matter promptly and take appropriate action to ensure the accuracy of my credit report. Specifically, I request the immediate removal of the inaccurate charge-off from my credit report and any necessary corrections to prevent future inaccuracies with this account. Please acknowledge receipt of this complaint and provide me with updates on the progress of the investigation. Thank you for your attention to this matter. 

Sincerely, XXXX XXXX
