Issue: Improper use of your report — Reporting company used your report improperly
Company: EQUIFAX, INC.
State: CA

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. 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:
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. I have maintained a careful record of my communications with you for the purpose of filing a complaint with the FTC should you continue in your non-compliance.

Company: EQUIFAX, INC.
State: MO

Complaint narrative:
To Whom It May Concern : I am submitting this complaint regarding Equifax 's failure to properly investigate my consumer report dispute, in direct violation of their obligations under the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ). On XX/XX/year>, I filed a formal dispute with Equifax to correct fraudulent and inaccurate information appearing on my consumer report. Instead of conducting a proper investigation, Equifax responded with a stall letter that neither addressed my dispute nor took steps to resolve the inaccuracies. 

I am aware that the CFPB has recently filed a lawsuit against Equifax for these very same practices namely, their systemic failure to properly investigate consumer disputes. I am a direct victim of this misconduct. 

As a XXXX veteran who suffers from XXXX, this experience has been extremely stressful and emotionally triggering. I am currently in the process of closing on a mortgage, and I am under strict time constraints with only XXXX week remaining to finalize my home purchase. Equifaxs refusal to lawfully process my dispute is putting my homeownership at serious risk, compounding my stress and potentially causing irreparable harm to my financial future. 

I respectfully request that the CFPB take immediate action to ensure Equifax fully complies with the FCRA, properly investigates my dispute without further delay, and removes the fraudulent and inaccurate items from my consumer report. I also request that Equifax be held accountable for the injury and distress they have caused. 

I am attaching supporting documents, including copies of my dispute submission and Equifaxs stall letter, should you require further evidence of their noncompliance. 

Thank you for your immediate attention to this urgent matter.

Product: Debt collection — I do not know
Issue: Attempts to collect debt not owed — Debt is not yours
Company: CL Holdings LLC
State: IL

Complaint narrative:
I am writing to formally dispute the collection account that Jeff Cap XXXX is reporting to the credit bureaus regarding an alleged debt from utilities. Upon recently reviewing my credit reports, I was shocked to find this account listed. I have no knowledge or record of ever holding an account with utilities, nor have I received any prior communication from your officeincluding but not limited to a phone call, text message, email, or the Dunning notice required by the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act ( FDCPA ). This lack of notification raises serious concerns regarding the legitimacy, accuracy, and ownership of this alleged debt. This erroneous reporting has caused me significant harm, including difficulty obtaining credit and jeopardizing my pending home loan application. Under the FDCPA, I have the right to request to dispute its validity. Given that I have not received any required notice or verification as outlined under 15 U.S.C. 1692g, this collection account appears to be in violation of federal law. I am hereby requesting that you immediately remove this collection account from all consumer credit reporting agencies ( XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX  ) as it is unverified and disputed. Please respond to this dispute in writing within 30 days of receipt of this letter, as required by law.

Issue: Incorrect information on your report — Account status incorrect
Company: EQUIFAX, INC.
State: NJ

Complaint narrative:
XXXX XXXX  issued a 1099-C showing that the debt was canceled. Under IRS rules, a 1099-C signifies cancellation of debt income, which I am required to report as taxable income. Despite this, XXXX is still reporting the account as a charge-off to the credit bureaus. 

This is misleading and unfair. Once a debt is canceled ( as evidenced by the 1099-C ), the account should no longer be reported as a collectible charge-off. This results in double punishment both tax consequences and derogatory credit and misrepresents the actual legal status of the account. 

I have attached a copy of the 1099-C XXXX  filed with the IRS, showing the cancellation. I have attempted to resolve this through disputes and have received no meaningful response or correction. 

I am requesting that XXXX XXXX  immediately remove the charge-off tradeline and cease all negative credit reporting related to the canceled debt.

Product: Mortgage — Conventional home mortgage
Issue: Applying for a mortgage or refinancing an existing mortgage — Changes in loan terms during the application process
Company: PNC Bank N.A.
State: PA

Complaint narrative:
applied for a conventional refinance loan with PNC Bank in XX/XX/year>. I was preapproved and received a Loan Estimate showing a rate of 6.375 % with a monthly payment of approximately {$760.00}. PNC issued a formal rate lock with an expiration date of XX/XX/year>. Based on this, I declined offers from other lenders, including XXXX XXXX. 

After progressing through underwriting and providing all documentation, I was told that I was no longer approved for the conventional loan. PNC then began processing my file as an FHA loan which has higher monthly costs due to upfront and annual mortgage insurance. I was never informed upfront that the loan type might change, or that my income type ( child support ) could affect conventional qualification. 

Despite this denial, PNC continues to pressure me to close on the FHA loan before XX/XX/XXXX, falsely stating that I must do so before my original rate lock expires. However, the rate lock was for a conventional loan, not the FHA loan now being pushed on me. 

This appears to be a bait-and-switch tactic : I was offered terms that were never realistically attainable. 

PNC used a false rate lock deadline to rush me into a different loan product. 

I was not provided accurate, timely disclosure about the loan change or new cost structure. 


Im requesting that this matter be investigated, and that PNC be held accountable for any deceptive or unfair lending practices in violation of the Truth in Lending Act and CFPBs rules on unfair, deceptive, or abusive acts or practices ( UDAAP ). I would also like PNC to be required to provide a written explanation of their denial and rate lock practices.

Complaint narrative:
I am once again writing to address a fraudulent item that continues to appear on my credit report. Despite taking the proper steps to resolve this, including filing an FTC Identity Theft Report as instructed by TransUnion and submitting the necessary documentation, the unauthorized entry remains. This has gone on for far too long. My credit report also contains inaccurate personal information, which is likely contributing to the appearance of this account that I have never had any connection to. I am a victim of identity theft, and my information was used without my knowledge or consent.
