Company: EQUIFAX, INC.
State: PA

Complaint narrative:
I am writing to formally notify you that I am a victim of identity theft. I recently learned that my personal information was compromised in the EQUIFAX data breach, and since then, Ive discovered fraudulent accounts on my credit report that I did not authorize or open.

This situation has been incredibly distressing, and I am requesting your immediate assistance in resolving this matter. In accordance with my rights under the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ) Section 605B ( 15 U.S.C. 1681c-2 ), I am requesting the prompt removal of all fraudulent accounts associated with this identity theft from my credit file.

The law clearly states that once a credit reporting agency receives appropriate notice that information resulted from identity theft, it must block and remove that information within four ( 4 ) business days. 

I trust that your agency will act in compliance with federal law and ensure these inaccurate and harmful items are removed promptly to prevent any further damage to my credit standing.

Company: EQUIFAX, INC.
State: CA

Complaint narrative:
XXXX. Complaint Description I am filing this complaint regarding inaccurate and misleading information reported by XXXX XXXX on my credit reports from XXXX, Equifax, and XXXX. 

The account shows a balance of {$150.00} with a credit limit of {$200.00} and a utilization rate of 79 %, updated as recently as XX/XX/2025. However, the account has been marked as Potentially Negative for 46 months, despite the absence of any valid derogatory information such as late payments, charge-offs, collections, or delinquencies. 

This Potentially Negative designation is incorrect, unjustified, and harmful to my credit profile and creditworthiness. I have contacted the credit bureaus and the creditor to dispute this inaccurate reporting, but to date, the issue remains unresolved. 

Under the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ), I am entitled to accurate and verifiable credit information. The continued reporting of this incorrect status violates these rights and is adversely affecting my ability to obtain fair credit. 



XXXX. Actions Taken I submitted formal disputes to XXXX, Equifax, and XXXX  on [ insert date ( XXXX ) ] requesting investigation and correction. 
I requested XXXX XXXX to provide supporting documentation to verify the derogatory status. 
No adequate verification or correction has been provided.

Accounts on my consumer report have been linked to identity theft, and I never provided written authorization, including a wet signature, for their inclusion. I recently communicated with your organization about this matter, and I am formally requesting the prompt blocking and removal of these accounts from my report. Their presence has caused significant emotional and financial distress, as they inaccurately represent my credit history and responsibilities.

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 abou

t 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 co
ntinue in your non-compliance.

Issue: Fees or interest — Problem with fees
Company: AMERICAN EXPRESS COMPANY
State: NY

Complaint narrative:
American Express charged me a {$29.00} returned payment fee after an autopayment was processed earlier than expected. My payment method was set to withdraw funds 19 days after the statement closing date, which had previously followed a predictable schedule. However, in this case, the autopay was initiated two days earlier than usual, leading to an unexpected insufficient funds return. 

Ive never had a returned payment before, and Ive always maintained a strong payment history. I was not notified of any change in the timing of the autopayment, and I wasnt given a clear explanation for why it occurred earlier this time. Despite explaining this and requesting a one-time courtesy waiver, American Express has refused, stating that the fee is a protection fee and can not be waived under any circumstances. 

The payment was ultimately made, and I believe the fee is unjustified given my history and the unusual nature of the situation. Im requesting a one-time courtesy refund of this {$29.00} fee.
