Issue: Improper use of your report — Reporting company used your report improperly
Company: EQUIFAX, INC.
State: NY

Complaint narrative:
For months I was aware of accounts opened in my name without my knowledge or authorization. I contacted the company ( via reaching out through FTC identity theft report and sent to the crdit bureaus ) to request verification of the original documents and information used to open this account. However, they were unable to provide these details. This lack of documentation raises serious concerns and further supports my claim of identity theft. Some of these companies I called and found that the information they had ( spelling of name, ssn, address ) did not match my true information. I sent these companies my true information and they disregarded and failed to acknowlege the ID theft and maintained this account belonged to me. I request that this matter be investigated thoroughly and that any accounts or activity linked to this identity theft be suspended or removed from my records. I also request, per FCRA Section 609 ( a ) ( 1 ), full method of verification for the items in question, including the original signed contract or application bearing my signature. If you are unable to verify the accuracy and legitimacy of the item ( s ) within 30 days, you are required by law to delete the information from my credit file.

Complaint narrative:
My account with XXXX XXXX  XXXX, XXXX, XXXX, XXXX XXXX, XXXX XXXX, XXXX, XXXX, AND 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 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 XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX never sent the periodic statement along with the disclosures from section 1637 ( b ).

This is unfair, illegal, fraudulent, and not equitable to me as a consumer! Delete the late payments from my consumer reports

Complaint narrative:
XX/XX/XXXX To Whom It May Concern, I am submitting this formal complaint regarding inaccurate and fraudulent information being reported on my credit report by Experian, as a result of a data breach that compromised my personal information without my consent.

Following this breach, unauthorized activity appeared on my credit report, which I believe constitutes identity theft and is in direct violation of my rights under the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ), 15 U.S.C. 1681.

In accordance with FCRA 611 and 605B, I have taken the following steps : Filed an official Identity Theft Report with the Federal Trade Commission ( FTC ). 

Attached documentation including a copy of the FTC report, proof of identity, and a letter requesting the removal of fraudulent information. 



Under FCRA 605B, I am entitled to have any information resulting from identity theft blocked from my credit report once I provide a valid identity theft report and written statement. I have also requested that Experian conduct a proper reinvestigation into these accounts in compliance with FCRA 611.

Despite my previous efforts to dispute this information directly with Experian and the furnishers, the item ( s ) remain on my report, causing significant and ongoing harm to my financial well-being, including damage to my credit score, denial of credit, and emotional distress. 



I am requesting that the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau enforce my rights under the FCRA and take immediate action to ensure that the following item ( s ) are permanently deleted from my credit report maintained by Experian. 



I am attaching the following documentation : Copy of my FTC Identity Theft Report Proof of identity ( drivers license, credit card bill, social security card ) Thank you for your time and attention to this matter. I look forward to your swift action to resolve this dispute.

Complaint narrative:
I am submitting this complaint as an individual consumer regarding a recent and distressing experience involving a third-party debt collector. A company, which I believe to be the original creditor or servicer of my account, allegedly transferred or sold my account to a third-party debt collection agency without proper notice or validation. After this transfer, the debt collector contacted me and used aggressive and threatening tactics, including stating that I would be sued and taken to court if I did not pay the amount they claimed I owed. I believe these threats were made in violation of the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act ( FDCPA ), which prohibits debt collectors from using harassing, deceptive, or unfair practices to collect a debt. At no point did they provide sufficient validation of the debt or confirm their legal authority to collect on the account. This experience has caused me significant XXXX and confusion. I am requesting that the CFPB investigate this matter and ensure that the company and any associated third-party debt collectors are held accountable for any unlawful conduct.
