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

Complaint narrative:
Recent reports from the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau ( CFPB ) indicate that Equifax has failed to properly investigate consumer disputes. A lawsuit has even been filed against Equifax for violating consumer protection laws by not complying with the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ). 

Under federal law ( 15 U.S.C. 1681i ), Equifax is required to thoroughly reinvestigate disputed items within 30 days and remove any information that is inaccurate, incomplete, or unverifiable. Ignoring this obligation is a direct violation of my rights. 

I am disputing the following negative items, which I strongly believe may be linked to a data breach : XXXX  - XXXX - {$460.00} I have already provided supporting documentation multiple times, yet these errors persist. The lack of corrective action has caused me financial harm and unnecessary distress. 

I have a legal right to an accurate credit report, and I expect these items to be properly investigated and removed immediately.

Issue: Problem with a company's investigation into an existing problem — Their investigation did not fix an error on your report
Company: EQUIFAX, INC.
State: CT

Complaint narrative:
I want report accounts removed without providing any evidence of a thorough investigation.This practice violates the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ), 15 U.S.C. 1681i, which mandates a reasonable investigation of disputes. Furthermore, Equifax 's actions may also contravene the Consumer Financial Protection Act ( CFPA ), 12 U.S.C.

5536 ( a ) ( 1 ) ( A ) - ( B ), as highlighted in the CFPB 's recent administrative proceeding ( File No. 2025-CFPB-0002 ) against them for similar violations. I request that the CFPB take action to ensure Equifax complies with federal law and provides consumers with the necessary proof of investigation.

Company: Experian Information Solutions Inc.
State: PA

Complaint narrative:
My account with XXXX XXXXXXXX XXXX was never late! I have had exceptional payment history witH XXXX XXXX  and 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 reported in to o be removed.

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. 

XXXX XXXX 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! 

Delete the late payments from my consumer reports

Complaint narrative:
Please see complaint XXXX. As my actual complaint was not read by Navient, I'm not sure what to do. Nowhere in that complaint did I claim not to be responsible for the debt. My complaint was that the debt has already been paid. Despite this, Navient has -erroneously reported it on my credit -called incessantly in a harassing manner attempting to collect debt not owed -Ignored evidence presented to them that the debt was paid -Now, wasted more of my time and energy by not even bothering to read and address the previous complaint.
