Company: EQUIFAX, INC.
State: NM

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 my privacy with my consumer report, since I control what is listed and what is not. In the event that any accounts are reported without my written consent, that is considered identity theft.

This is a violation of both 15 U.S. Code 1681b ( 2 ) and 15 U.S. Code 1681c-2. This leads way to civil liability against the credit reporting agency for negligent and willful noncompliance under 15 U.S. Code 1681n, which allows for {$1000.00} per violation, for each account listed without my expressed written consent.

I looked at my consumer reports and noticed accounts I never gave anyone permission to report. Consumer reporting agencies have assumed a vital role and have a responsibility to report consumer information to the best of their ability with maximum possible accuracy like the Fair Credit Reporting Act clearly states. I did not provide written consent to report them.

Issue: Problem caused by your funds being low — Non-sufficient funds and associated fees
Company: JPMORGAN CHASE & CO.
State: CA

Complaint narrative:
I opened a savings account many years ago with XXXX XXXX. That account was then transferred to Chase when they merged. At that time, when I was setting up my new accounts with Chase, I was told by the Chase rep that that was a great savings account because there weren't any fees or balance minimums to maintain it, so I should hold on to it.

I followed that advice from Chase, and held on to the account, believing there were no fees with it, as promised. I didn't check on it often, as I was really only holding money there to keep the account open as advised by Chase.

I was shocked when I happened to check in on the account recently and saw that Chase has been deducting {$5.00} from this account every month, for as long as I can see in the history. I was never informed that I would be charged these fees, and never received notification when any of the charges occurred.

Reviewing my previous statements, it looks like this fee has been charged every month since XX/XX/year>. Attached are screenshots showing I was not provided any notice that my account was changing or that this fee would be starting. 

I contacted Chase to have all of the fees reversed, as I was never informed that there would be fees starting, or if the account was changing in anyway. Chase responded by reversing a single {$5.00} charge. 

I contacted Chase again to clarify that this was on on-going issue, and that I would need all of the fees reversed, and to not be charged the fee going forward, as per the agreement when I opened the account. Chase responded by saying they are going to continue charging the fee, and would only reverse the single fee. They did not provide any proof of notification of the fee.

Company: EQUIFAX, INC.

Complaint narrative:
My husband and I sent in dispute letters to each of the three credit bureaus and XXXX with a full size page copy of our driver license and utility water bill for proof of who we were and where we lived. Plus a letter from the bk court. I sent it in a XXXX envelop certified mail. I was disputing old information that is no longer valid and asked that they only have current information pertain to my name, address, phone number, useful information if someone is trying to get a hold of me NOW. I also asked for them to remove the BK info because the bankruptcy court sent me a letter informing me that they do not report to the credit bureaus that it was done by a third party non affiliate whom I did not give permission to. This information is damaging and is causing me stress. None of them took off the BK information XXXX, XXXX, or Equifax and they sent me back a letter requesting everything that I had sent them stating it wasn't clear. It is VERY clear and easy to read. Last year we sent all of these bureaus requesting the same information to be updated correctly and we are still trying to have them do it a year later. I am tired of asking for my information to be correct and up to date.

Issue: Incorrect information on your report — Public record information inaccurate
Company: EQUIFAX, INC.
State: FL

Complaint narrative:
After reviewing my credit report, I noticed that a U.S. Bankruptcy Court item is listed on my credit reports. Under the FCRA 623 ( a ) ( 5 ) : If the Credit Bureau can not VALIDATE the information with the ORIGINAL CREDITOR, they must remove said information from the consumer credit file. 

In this case, the original creditor is the U.S. Bankruptcy Courts. I have received a letter from the Bankruptcy Court stating that they do NOT provide information to credit reporting agencies, nor do they validate or confirm public records. Additionally, XXXX has provided documentation that it could not validate this public record information. 

The responsibility for collecting and validating public records falls on credit reporting agencies or their third-party providers. Public record information is NEVER validated by the Recorder of Deeds or the U.S. Court system due to the Fair Credit Reporting Act Privacy Law. 

As a result, the reporting of this bankruptcy on my credit file violates multiple federal laws, including : 15 USC 1681a ( e ) : Prohibits the inclusion of unvalidated public record entries.

15 USC 1681b ( a ) ( 2 ) : Prohibits furnishing information without the consumers consent.

15 USC 1681c ( a ) : Excludes bankruptcy information from a consumer 's report. 
Your failure to validate this information is a violation of these laws. The continued reporting of this bankruptcy is causing me great harm, including preventing me from obtaining credit to support and sustain my family.
