Company: GOLDMAN SACHS BANK USA
State: FL

Complaint narrative:
I am writing to formally file a complaint against Goldman Sachs regarding their failure to correct inaccurately reported late payments on my credit report, despite my compliance with an agreed-upon payment arrangement. 

Goldman Sachs and I came to an agreement that, if I made consistent on-time payments moving forward, they would review and potentially adjust the late payment marks on my account. I have fully honored my side of that agreement, making all payments on time as agreed. However, despite my compliance, Goldman Sachs has continued to report past late payments and has failed to demonstrate any good faith effort to remedy this issue. 

These inaccurate and unresolved negative marks are severely impacting my creditworthiness and hindering my ability to move forward in life. I am being denied credit opportunities, housing options, and other essential needs due to this unresolved matter. I believe Goldman Sachs is in violation of the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ) by not ensuring the accuracy and integrity of the information they furnish to the credit bureaus. 

I respectfully request that the CFPB investigate this matter and assist in compelling Goldman Sachs to take corrective action.

Company: EQUIFAX, INC.

Complaint narrative:
I am updating a late payment that is currently being reported on my credit report as " open '' or unresolved. This entry is inaccurate and misleading. I have either already resolved the payment, or I was never late as claimed. The continued reporting of this item as open and delinquent is a violation of the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ), particularly 15 U.S.C. 1681e ( b ), which requires consumer reporting agencies to maintain maximum possible accuracy of the information they report.

This misreporting has negatively impacted my credit score and may hinder my ability to obtain credit or employment. I am requesting an immediate investigation into this matter, as well as a correction or deletion of the inaccurate late payment record if it can not be verified.

State: CA

Complaint narrative:
Hello, I am writing to delete the following information on my credit report. The following items are listed in the report. I am a victim of identity theft. The charges made on the account were not mine. The items need to be deleted as they are inaccurate items on my credit report. The theft of my identity was reported to the federal Trade Commission. 
Also, I have an enclosed copy of the Federal Trade Commission identity theft affidavit. 
Please find it in your best interest to delete the items I would like to emphasize the following legal obligations under the FCRA : Under 1681b, a consumer reporting agency may furnish a consumer report only under specific circumstances, including " In response to the order of a court having jurisdiction to issue such an order, or a subpoena issued in connection with proceedings before a Federal grand jury. '' This provision strictly limits when my consumer report can be furnished, and I do not believe any of these circumstances apply in this case. 
Under 15 U.S.C. 1681i ( a ) ( 1 ) ( A ), credit bureaus must conduct a " reasonable reinvestigation '' upon receiving notice of a consumer dispute. I am formally notifying you of this dispute, and I expect a thorough and reasonable reinvestigation of all items I've identified.

15 U.S. Code 1681b outlines the permissible purposes of consumer reports, including conditions for furnishing and using consumer reports for employment purposes. I do not believe any of these permissible purposes apply to the disputed items on my report.

15 U.S. Code $ 1681c-2 a consumer reporting agency shall block the reporting of any.

information in the file of a consumer that the consumer identifies as information that resulted from an alleged identity theft, not later than 4 business days after the date of receipt.

15 U.S. Code 1681 Section B ( i ) - Requirements relating to reinsertion of previously deleted material - If a consumer reporting agency removes information from someone's credit file based on the requirements in the preceding section ( A ), the agency can not re-add or reinsert that previously deleted information back into the person 's file unless the entity that originally provided that information certifies that it is complete and accurate.
