Company: EQUIFAX, INC.
State: CA

Complaint narrative:
This CFPB complaint has been filed to request pursuant to FCRA 605B ( 15 U.S.C. 1681c-2 ) that you -- credit reporting agency, block information appearing on my consumer credit report that is the result of identity theft and fraud within 4 business days of you receiving this complaint. I am concerned about the validity and accuracy of your recent investigation of these accounts that are reporting on my credit report. Last month I requested an investigation because I felt the item was not being reported legally. Couple of days ago I received a letter stating that you have ceased investigation of my credit reports because, in your opinion, you believe that I have used a third party credit repair agency. Not only do I believe this to be a stall tactic on your part to grant you an additional 30 days to comply with my original request, but I believe it to be a blatant violation of the FCRA. 

I have attached a copy of my government issued ID as well as mail showing proof of address. So, there shouldnt be any confusion or stall tactics on your end.

Company: EQUIFAX, INC.

Complaint narrative:
I am a hardworking individual has been diligently paying my accounts on time for the quite a long time. However, upon reviewing my credit report, I discover several instances of late payments recorded by these creditors. Perplexed by this discrepancy, I contacted these creditors to inquire about the inaccuracies. After discussing the matter with a customer service representative and the billing department, it becomes evident that there was a mutual agreement between me and these creditors to adjust the payment schedule due to unforeseen circumstances. Despite adhering to this adjusted schedule, the payments were mistakenly marked as late in the system. Understanding the gravity of the situation, these creditors swiftly acknowledge the error and assures me that the inaccurate late payments will be rectified. Additionally, they offer to provide written documentation of the agreed-upon payment schedule to prevent any future misunderstandings.

To Whom It May Concern, I am formally disputing the following accounts appearing on my consumer credit file. These accounts are inaccurate, unverifiable, and/or the result of identity theft. I previously filed an identity theft report with the Federal Trade Commission ( FTC ).

Under * * FCRA 605B ( 15 U.S.C. 1681c-2 ) * *, once an identity theft report is submitted, these accounts must be blocked from my credit file within four ( 4 ) business days unless the furnisher proves the information is accurate and not the result of identity theft.

Sincerely, XXXX XXXX

Complaint narrative:
In early XX/XX/XXXX, I reviewed my credit report and discovered five credit card accounts that were reporting as charged off. These accounts had been opened approximately five years earlier and were not previously reflected on my credit report in this manner, which is how I became aware of the issue. 

After identifying these accounts, I disputed them with XXXX  and submitted a valid FTC Identity Theft Report and a police report. Based on this documentation, XXXX  deleted all five accounts in under two weeks, and my credit score increased by approximately XXXX points. 

On or about XX/XX/XXXX, I reviewed my XXXX  credit report again and discovered that one of the previously deleted accounts, a Discover credit card account opened on XX/XX/XXXX, had been reinserted and marked as verified and updated. The account reflects a reported balance of approximately {$1800.00}. The remaining disputed accounts continue to remain deleted. 

The reinsertion of this account caused an immediate and significant negative impact to my credit profile, including a XXXX decrease in my XXXX score after it had gone up XXXX points two weeks prior my score went down.

Complaint narrative:
A collection account is being reported on my credit file that has not been properly validated. I exercised my rights under the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act ( FDCPA ) by requesting validation of the alleged debt. The furnisher failed to provide any legitimate documentation proving that the debt is mine, that the amount is accurate, or that they have the legal authority to collect it. 
Despite the lack of verification, this account continues to appear on my credit report, which constitutes a violation of the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ) requiring only accurate and verifiable information to be reported. The continued reporting of an unvalidated account is inaccurate and misleading.
