Product: Credit reporting or other personal consumer reports — Credit reporting
Issue: Incorrect information on your report — Old information reappears or never goes away
Company: EQUIFAX, INC.
State: FL

Complaint narrative:
Im filing this complaint because Equifax has once again violated my rights under the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ), specifically 15 U.S.C. 1681i ( a ) and 1681i ( 5 ) ( B ) ( ii )- ( iii ), by reinserting XXXX accounts that were already deleted from my credit report. The accounts are : XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX I disputed these accounts, and were DELETED from my file. So what was that? A mistake? A joke? Or just a display to shut me up? Because now, those exact same accounts are back on my credit report, with no explanation, no documentation, and definitely no notice within the XXXX requirement outlined under 15 U.S.C. 1681i ( 5 ) ( B ). The FCRA requires XXXX things before reinserting any deleted information : A certification from the furnisher that the info is accurate and complete. A written notice to me within XXXX business days of the reinsertion, explaining what was reinserted, who reported it, and that I have the right to dispute it again. Equifax did neither. I didnt get a notice. I didnt get the name, address, or phone number of the furnisher. I didnt even get told these were being reinserted at all. So what kind of reinvestigation did they do? 
This kind of sloppy and lazy reinsertion violates the FCRAs requirement for maximum possible accuracy under 15 U.S.C. 1681e ( b ). If Equifax cant even follow the basic legal steps to reinvestigate or explain why these accounts are back on my report, how am I supposed to trust anything they report? Theres no transparency. No accountability. Just silence and unverified data. I want these accounts PERMANENTLY DELETED AND NEVER ADDED AGAIN. Not just temporarily removed. I also want Equifax to provide the full reinvestigation record, including who verified these accounts, what documents were used, and how they determined these accounts were legitimate. If they cant give me that, then they have no business reporting them in the first place. Lastly, Im demanding that Equifax be held accountable for this. Reinserting accounts without notice is a direct FCRA violation, and under 15 U.S.C. 1681n and 1681o, they can be held liable for at least {$1000.00} per violation if done willfully. At this point, it sure feels willful.

Company: WELLS FARGO & COMPANY
State: NJ

Complaint narrative:
I had a Wells Fargo Bank credit card account ( Account XX/XX/XXXXXXXX ) that is being reported inaccurately by all three credit bureaus. I have already disputed this account multiple times and sent requests for validation and proof of verification directly to Wells Fargo and through the credit bureaus. Despite these requests, Wells Fargo has continued to report the account without providing any documentation proving the accuracy of the information or that the account is being reported in compliance with the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ).

To date, I have not received : A signed original credit agreement or contract linking me to the account.

An accurate account history or payment record.

Any proof that Wells Fargo has verified the account with the credit bureaus in accordance with 611 and 623 of the FCRA.

Continuing to report this account without proper verification is a violation of my rights under the FCRA. I am requesting that the CFPB investigate and that this account be removed from my credit reports immediately if Wells Fargo can not provide full, proper validation.

Complaint narrative:
I am formally disputing several inaccuracies currently appearing on my credit report, specifically unauthorized and inaccurate accounts and credit inquiries that I did not initiate or approve. These entries represent a violation of the Fair Credit Reporting Act, particularly 15 U.S. Code 1681i, which requires a proper reinvestigation of disputed items, and 1681e ( b ), which mandates that information reported must be accurate to the maximum extent possible. In addition, I am disputing a potentially misreported late payment. According to 15 U.S.C. 1666b, creditors must allow at least 21 days between the statement date and the payment due date before classifying a payment as late. Based on my records, this standard may not have been met, or the payment was submitted on time and inaccurately reported as delinquent.

Complaint narrative:
My account with EQUIFAX EXPERIAN TRANSUNION was never late! I have had exceptional payment history all payments were placed on Autopay. This late payment that is reporting is a result on a systematic error on their end processing my payment. This was clearly a billing error made my the company and is not a reflection of my payment experience which violates USC Code 1681eb. This error has caused severe hard to my reputation, my character, my mode of living and to my family! I demand the late payment to be updated. They are not in compliance with the following law. 15 USC 1666b and its requirements set the standards and the guidance for a creditor to treat a payment as late, yet they are reporting a payment as late and they did not comply with the law! 15 USC 1666b ( a ) Time to make payments A creditor may not treat a payment on a credit card account under an open end consumer credit plan as late for any purpose, unless the creditor has adopted reasonable procedures designed to ensure that each periodic statement including the information required by section 1637 ( b ) of this title is mailed or delivered to the consumer not later than 21 days before the payment due date. EQUIFAX EXPERIAN TRANSUNION Never Sent the periodic statement along with the disclosures from section 1637 ( b ). I have requested proof that this information was mailed or delivered 21 days before the payment due date and this information was requested in good faith pursuant rule 1002 and It was never provided. This is unfair, illegal, fraudulent, and not equitable to me as a consumer! Update the late payments from my consumer reports
