Company: EQUIFAX, INC.
State: AZ

Complaint narrative:
Equifax is reporting incorrect information regarding a mortgage account with XXXX XXXX. Equifax is reporting late payments on that account in XXXX. 
XXXX XXXX sold that account to XXXX and quit doing all mortgages in XXXX. 
XXXX XXXX reports that I did not have late payments to them in XXXX in part because I did not even have any loan accounts with them in XXXX. 
No Loan > No loan payments > No possibility to have non-existent payments show up late. 
I tried to resolve this over several months with Equifax and XXXX several times and got nowhere. I submitted a complaint with you ( CFPB ) earlier this year and that got Equifax to admit that the problem was on their end with their computer systems.Equifax did remove the incorrect information for a short time. 
Equifax has now put the incorrect information back on my credit report. 
The original complaint I submitted to you ( CFPB ) is # XXXX What needs to happen to get Equifax to fix this issue permanently??

Complaint narrative:
Despite the multiple previous written requests, the unverified accounts listed below still remain on my credit report in violation of Federal Law. You are required under the FCRA to have a copy of the original creditor documentation on file to verify that this information is 100 % true, accurate & correct.

In the results of your first investigation and subsequent reinvestigation ( s ), you stated in writing that you verified that these accounts are being reported correctly? Who verified these accounts? You have NOT provided me a copy of ANY original documentation ( a consumer contract with my signature on it ) as required under Section 609 ( a ) ( 1 ) ( A ) & Section 611 ( a ) ( 1 ) ( A ). Furthermore, you have failed to provide the method of verification as required under Section 611 ( a ) ( 7 ). Please be advised that under Section 611 ( a ) ( 5 ) ( A ) of the FCRA you are required to ... promptly CORRECT or DELETE all information which can not be verified.

Section 616 and Section 617 provide me with a remedy which Im about to seek. You are willful non-complying with the FCRA.

Since you claim youve verified the accounts listed below I wanted to confirm my thoughts and contacted the banks directly. They did not provide me with any verifiable proof. So, my question comes up again, WHO VERIFIED THESE ACCOUNTS? I believe you have not verified these accounts based on Section 609 ( a ) ( 1 ) ( A ) & Section 611 ( a ) ( 1 ) ( A ) & I will be seeking a legal remedy. 

Please CORRECT the account, or inaccurate information, from my file immediately XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX

XX/XX/XXXX Subject : Complaint Regarding Inaccurate Late Payment Entry on Credit Report Dear CFPB, I am writing to file a formal complaint against TransUnion regarding an inaccurate late payment entry on my credit report that has not been resolved despite my attempts to rectify the issue. 

Account Information : Creditor 's Name : XXXX Account Number : XXXX Dates of Late Payments : XX/XX/XXXX Nature of Complaint : I submitted a dispute to TransUnion disputing a late payment reported by XXXX I referenced the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( 15 U.S. Code 1681i ) and the Truth in Lending Act ( TILA ) ( 15 U.S. Code 1637 ( b ) ) in my dispute, explaining that the reported late payment was inaccurate for the following reasons : Payment Delay Due to a Bank Transfer Error : My payment for XX/XX/XXXX was initiated on time. However, a processing error on my bank 's end delayed the transfer by 24 hours. I provided bank statements and transfer confirmation showing the exact date the payment was initiated and the error acknowledged by my bank. 
System Outage on Payment Portal : During the period in question, XXXX experienced an outage on their online payment portal, which prevented me from making a timely payment through the usual online process. I contacted customer service immediately after the issue and have attached screenshots of my conversation with their support team confirming the technical outage. 
Incorrect Late Payment Assignment : The late payment was incorrectly applied to my account even though my payment history shows that I have consistently made on-time payments. There was no valid reason for the assignment of a late fee or the reporting of this late payment, and I have attached payment receipts that show consistent payments for the past two years. 
Despite providing this information and adhering to the dispute process within the Fair Credit Reporting Act, TransUnion has failed to resolve this matter satisfactorily or remove the inaccurate late payment from my credit report. 
As a consumer, I have rights under the FCRA and TILA, including the right to accurate credit reporting. The continued presence of this inaccurate information is negatively impacting my credit score and financial well-being. 

Requested Resolution : I kindly request that the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau investigate this matter and take appropriate action to ensure that credit reporting agencies adhere to the Fair Credit Reporting Act and the Truth in Lending Act. 

Thank you for your attention to this important matter. I look forward to your prompt response regarding the investigation of my complaint. 

Sincerely, XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX
