Company: Experian Information Solutions Inc.
State: FL

Complaint narrative:
I am filing this complaint due to multiple unauthorized hard inquiries that have been made on my credit report without my knowledge, consent, or permissible purpose, as required by the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ). 

Under FCRA Section 604 ( 15 U.S.C. 1681b ), a hard inquiry may only be made if there is a legitimate permissible purpose, such as a credit application that I explicitly authorized. I have not applied for credit or authorized any of the following companies to access my credit report : These inquiries were not initiated or approved by me in any capacity. I have contacted the credit reporting agency ( [ Experian/Equifax/XXXX ] ) to dispute these inquiries and demand their removal. However, no satisfactory resolution has been provided. 

The continued reporting of these inquiries without proof of authorization is a violation of my rights as a consumer under the FCRA and potentially opens these companies and the credit bureaus to civil liability. Hard inquiries can lower my credit score and affect my ability to obtain credit therefore, this is not a trivial issue.

Complaint narrative:
Finding unauthorized accounts, credit inquiries, and false personal information made or reported without my knowledge or agreement completely stunned and grieved me. I've tried to get clarification from the creditors, but they have blatantly refused to give it to me. I demand that the creditors act immediately and be transparent. The creditors must submit pertinent application materials, show proof of express authority for each query, and give comprehensive details about each account and inquiry, including dates, purposes, and the kinds of credit products involved. To see what I'm complaining about, please refer to the attached file!

Company: Exeter Finance, LLC.
State: GA

Complaint narrative:
I have a current auto, loan with Exeter XXXX. I have used ZIP, XXXX and Affirm to make payments in the past. Now, Exeter will not accept payment from these companies. I also tried to pay with a credit card. Exeter doesn't accept credit card payments. What kind of company dictates how they get there payments from customers. As long as the transaction is not insufficient with funds, it should not matter. I feel this limits the customer and prevents them from maintaining a healthy payment relationship with merchant. It look like the merchant is setting their customers up for failure on loans if they don't have a checking or savings account or debit card. Never ever have I heard of credit cards not being accepted when used them before. XXXX looks like.

State: NV

Complaint narrative:
I am disputing a false 30-day late payment being reported on my credit file by Experian for a XXXXXXXX XXXX XXXX  account in XX/XX/scrub> 2023. 

I made a full, on-time mortgage payment of {$3200.00} on XX/XX/year>2023, and have documentation proving the account was never delinquent. 

Despite submitting this evidence to Experian, they failed to remove the inaccurate late payment. Instead, they simply re-dated the derogatory mark to a different month, which does not resolve the dispute and is still inaccurate.

This violates the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ) 623, which requires furnishers and credit bureaus to report accurate and complete information.

Experians response has caused continued damage to my credit profile, despite my compliance, proof of payment, and proper dispute procedure.

Complaint narrative:
I recently reviewed my credit report and noticed an account that I did not open. After looking into it further, I can confirm that this account is the result of unauthorized and fraudulent use of my personal information. I had no knowledge of this account, did not authorize it, and have never had any dealings with the company listed. This is a clear case of identity theft.

I have made multiple attempts to get these discrepancies investigated and corrected, yet no meaningful action has been taken. Despite providing all necessary documentation and following up several times, these errors remain unresolved. This ongoing issue has caused financial XXXX and has taken a serious toll on my well-being. Dealing with these inaccurate entries has been frustrating and exhausting. 

Under the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ), I have the right to a credit report that accurately represents my financial history. This includes the prompt correction of outdated or incorrect information. I urge you to take immediate action to update or remove these late payment entries, as failing to do so is a direct violation of my rights under federal law. 

I appreciate your prompt attention to this matter and expect a resolution as soon as possible.

Company: EQUIFAX, INC.
State: GA

Complaint narrative:
Equifax is reporting XXXX charge-off accounts that are inaccurate, unverifiable, and damaging to my credit profile. The first account is XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX with a balance of {$38000.00}. The second is XXXX XXXX XXXX Account # : XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX  ) with a balance of {$20000.00}. I have made formal requests to both XXXX XXXX and XXXX XXXX ( issuer of the XXXX card ) for supporting documentation validating these charge-offs. Neither creditor has produced any signed agreements, complete account histories, or evidence of default or closure that would justify these accounts being charged off. Equifax, by continuing to report both of these items without conducting a meaningful investigation, is in direct violation of 15 USC 1681i, which requires consumer reporting agencies to delete any item that can not be verified. Moreover, reporting these accounts as charge-offs without certified validation documents constitutes a breach of 15 USC 1681e ( b ), which demands the highest level of accuracy and completeness in credit reporting. 

It is also concerning that Equifax has chosen to maintain this inaccurate information despite multiple disputes, without ever producing the required evidence to support these negative marks. For XXXX XXXX in particular, the same charge-off is being reported by all three bureaus with no proof or validation from the creditoryet Equifax has failed to question the accuracy or conduct a proper reinvestigation. As for the XXXX XXXX charge-off XXXX no original account documents, payment history, or written notice of default have ever been produced to confirm its legitimacy.
