Consumer complaint received 2023-04-19 00:00:00
Product: Credit reporting, credit repair services, or other personal consumer reports — Credit reporting
Issue: Incorrect information on your report — Account status incorrect
Company: EQUIFAX, INC.
State: CA

Complaint narrative:
In XXXX of XXXX, I was contacted by XXXX XXXX by phone that my account was delinquent and that I needed to set up a payment plan later that month to avoid my account being charged off and sent to a collection agency. I called back after I was ready to set up a payment plan and after I had made sure I was speaking to someone with XXXX XXXX who was authorized to set up a payment plan. Though I was told that they could not re-age the account, I was given two options : pay a lower amount to settle the debt, or pay in full in installments to be eligible for a new account. I chose the latter, and paid off the debt ahead of schedule in XX/XX/XXXX. In XX/XX/XXXX, I received the application for a new XXXX XXXX XXXX card, completed it, and was approved for a line of credit of {$600.00}. That same month, I disputed the status of the old account as it had never been a charge-off. It was removed briefly with an improvement on all 3 credit bureaus of about 55 points. A week later, the remark reappeared, and neither XXXX XXXX nor the 3 credit bureaus have been cooperative in permanently removing the remark. My call to XXXX XXXX was routed to XXXX different people, only to be told I would have to speak to someone at XXXX XXXX headquarters. XXXX XXXX told me I'd have to talk to the person in XXXX with whom I set up the payment plan, and that they had no ability to check records as their departments aren't connected. XXXX will not provide me with transcripts of the phone calls. This runaround is ridiculous, with XXXX half of the company not knowing what the other is doing. I obviously paid as agreed when I received the new XXXX XXXX XXXX card from a XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX, Utah. I was told XXXX doesn't issue new accounts to a former cardholder whose account was charged off, for several years, which is why I agreed to pay in full. This is causing a severe hardship in obtaining credit for personal and business purposes, which has deprived me of thousands of dollars in lost income. This company isn't " XXXX XXXX '' anymore, and has outsourced jobs to third world countries to save a few bucks. They know you can't get the agreement in writing so they must think that most people will just let it go. I know I'm right, I know XXXX never wrote off my account as " bad debt '', I know that claiming to do so would be considered income tax fraud, and I'm not letting this go until I receive justice.
