Product: Credit reporting or other personal consumer reports — Credit reporting
Issue: Incorrect information on your report — Account status incorrect
Company: EQUIFAX, INC.
State: FL

Complaint narrative:
My account with EQUIFAX XXXX 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 XXXX 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

Company: Experian Information Solutions Inc.
State: SC

Complaint narrative:
I have contacted Experian over XXXX times to resolve multiple issues with my credit report. During my first call, I was able to speak with someone, but they hung up without assisting me further. They did not call back, and subsequent attempts to reach them through their automated system were unsuccessful as it would not transfer me to a representative. 

As instructed by Experian, I mailed a certified letter containing my updated address, a copy of my ID with the new address, proof of address, and the letter they requested. Despite this, Experian has failed to update my credit file and claimed that I did not provide sufficient documentation. This is incorrect, as I included all the required materials as outlined in their instructions. 

Additionally, I requested that Experian remove unauthorized inquiries from my credit report. However, they have refused to address this issue or take any corrective action, despite these inquiries being made without my consent.

Experians lack of response and failure to address these matters have caused significant frustration and could negatively impact my creditworthiness. I am requesting CFPBs assistance in ensuring that : 1. My credit report is promptly updated with the correct information.

2. All unauthorized inquiries are removed from my credit report.

Thank you for your attention to this matter.

Hello, I have reported to both TransUnion and XXXX that a collection company continues to reset the origination date on an old collection account, falsely reporting it as new.

Complaint narrative:
I am writing to request assistance with multiple inaccuracies on my credit report that have adversely impacted my credit standing. Despite my efforts to resolve these issues directly with both creditors and credit reporting agencies, I have not received a satisfactory resolution. These inaccuracies include erroneous information regarding account details, duplicated accounts, outdated collection entries, incorrect open or closed account statuses, and unauthorized inquiries, all of which create a misleading portrayal of my creditworthiness. I kindly ask the CFPB to require the involved parties to correct, delete, or update the disputed information on my credit report in line with the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ), so that my credit report can reflect my accurate financial history. I am attaching supporting documents and I look forward to your assistance in resolving this matter promptly. Thank you for your attention to this request.

Complaint narrative:
XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXXXX/XX/year> Consumer Financial Protection Bureau ( CFPB ) XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX  Federal Trade Commission ( FTC ) XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX Subject : Violation of Consumer Reporting Laws by Equifax Dear Sir/Madam, I am writing to formally complain about Equifaxs practices regarding consumer reporting, which I believe violate several provisions of the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ) and other relevant laws.

It has come to my attention that Equifax has reported information that pertains to my capacity, character, general reputation, personal characteristics, and mode of living without adhering to the permissible uses defined under 15 U.S. Code 1681b. Specifically, I am concerned about the reporting of transaction histories that do not comply with the stipulated guidelines.

According to the FCRA, consumer reporting agencies are permitted to furnish consumer reports only under specific circumstances. One such condition is outlined in Section 1681b ( 2 ), which states that a consumer report can only be furnished in accordance with the written instructions of the consumer to whom it relates. It is my belief that Equifax has failed to obtain my consent in this regard, thereby violating my rights as a consumer.

Furthermore, the regulations clearly specify that reports containing information solely pertaining to transactions or experiences between the consumer and the reporting agency should not be disclosed without appropriate consent. The reporting of such transaction history without my explicit authorization is not only unjust but also illegal.

I urge both the CFPB and the FTC to investigate this matter thoroughly and take appropriate action against Equifax for these violations. Consumer protection is paramount, and it is essential that agencies like Equifax adhere to the laws designed to safeguard individuals ' rights.

Thank you for your attention to this serious issue. I look forward to your prompt response regarding the actions that will be taken.

Sincerely,

Company response to consumer: Closed with explanation

Complaint narrative:
I am in the process of selling a home and Rushmore Loan XXXX is the servicing company and is impossible to work with. This is the second time I have tried to sell a home with this mortgage servicing company. It's as if they are trying to hold a mortgage hostage. The title company has requested pay off quotes 3 times throughout he month of XXXX on the XXXX and the XXXX with no response and then an additional request on the XXXX. The title company notified me and I attempted to reach out and was told they would get the request to me on the XXXX by XXXX. They did not and so the title company called and did a conference call with me. Over an hour on the phone nad still no payoff document. We are supposed to close on XX/XX/XXXX and now it's looking like a delay due to the mortgage servicing company refusing to deliver a payoff request in a timely manner. This could cause over {$10000.00} in damages due to the loss of a purchase on a new property, the sale of the current property and additional interest and holding charges. I'd hate for this to turn into a full lawsuit. When attempting to call them and get ahold of a representative during their " Available Hours '' it is just a constant loop with their automated system and you can never get to a live person.
