Product: Credit reporting or other personal consumer reports — Credit reporting
Issue: Incorrect information on your report — Account information incorrect
Company: EQUIFAX, INC.
State: MO

Complaint narrative:
XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX  Subject : Formal Dispute of Inaccurate Credit Reporting XXXX XXXX XXXX Dear XXXX XXXX XXXX or whom it may concern, I am writing to formally dispute inaccurate information on my credit report under 12 CFR Part 1002 ( Regulation B of the Equal Credit Opportunity Act ) and the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA, 15 U.S.C. 1681 ).

Upon reviewing my credit report, I have identified factual errors in the reporting of the account from XXXX XXXX XXXX  ( Account Number : XXXX ) that violate my rights under federal law. 
Specific Errors Identified : Inaccurate Reporting of Delinquencies ( 12 CFR 1002.4 ( a ) Prohibited Misrepresentations ) The account was charged off in XX/XX/XXXX, but late payments continue to be reported through XX/XX/XXXX. 
Once an account is charged off, new missed payments should not be reported because the debt is no longer an active, revolving obligation. 
This misleading reporting creates continuous damage to my credit score and violates 12 CFR 1002.4 ( a ), which prohibits misrepresenting the status of a credit obligation.

Contradictory Account Information ( 12 CFR 1002.6 ( b ) ( 6 ) Accuracy of Information ) The account shows a credit limit of {$600.00}, but the reported balance after charge-off is {$920.00}, which exceeds the credit limit. 
This suggests either improper reporting of fees or a balance that was inaccurately updated after charge-off. 
This violates 12 CFR 1002.6 ( b ) ( 6 ), which requires credit information to be reported accurately, including correct balance and credit limit details.

Failure to Provide Accurate Account Status ( 12 CFR 1002.10 Furnishing of Credit Information ) The balance history shows that no payments have been made since at least XX/XX/XXXX, yet the report continues to mark the account as actively delinquent every month. 
If the charge-off occurred in XX/XX/XXXX, ongoing delinquencies should not be reported because the account is no longer accruing new missed payments. 
This failure to update the account properly violates 12 CFR 1002.10, which mandates that creditors ensure credit information is accurate and current.

Violation of My Consumer Rights Under 12 CFR Part 1002 : 12 CFR 1002.10 Furnishing of Credit Information requires that reported credit data must be correct and updated. The erroneous delinquency reporting violates this rule.

12 CFR 1002.9 Notifications requires that adverse actions based on credit reporting be properly communicated. This reporting error constitutes an adverse action that has not been properly disclosed.

Complaint narrative:
I am filing a complaint against Cash App ( Block , Inc. ) due to inadequate customer service and unfair practices, which violate the Consumer Financial Protection Act ( CFPA ). Specifically, Cash App failed to take timely and effective measures to prevent and address fraud on their platform, leaving my account vulnerable and unprotected.

Furthermore, their dispute resolution process was unfair and deceptive, as they did not comply with error resolution requirements under the Electronic Fund Transfer Act ( EFTA ) and Regulations E. These actions have caused significant inconvenience and financial loss, and I seek appropriate redress for these violations.

Complaint narrative:
Upon reviewing my credit report, I discovered several accounts that I do not recognize and believe to be fraudulent. These accounts appear to be opened without my authorization, and I am deeply concerned about the potential impact on my credit standing and financial well-being. I suspect that I am a victim of identity theft, as I have not initiated or authorized the opening of these accounts. The presence of these unauthorized accounts on my credit report has caused me significant distress and uncertainty about the security of my personal information. I have attached a copy of my credit report highlighting the unrecognized accounts for your reference.

Complaint narrative:
Consumer Reporting Agencies play a crucial role in gathering and assessing consumer credit information. However, they must exercise their responsibilities with fairness, impartiality, and respect for the consumers right to privacy. The banking system relies on accurate and fair credit reporting, and when these reporting methods are unfair, it undermines public trust, which is vital for the system 's stability. I never gave my explicit, written consent for these agencies to report my information, which is a violation of 15 U.S. Code 1681b ( 2 ). This violation has led to an alleged case of identity theft, breaching 15 U.S. Code 1681c-2. The accounts in question are not related to any transactions made by me.

The Fair Debt Collection Practices Act was created to ensure that laws and procedures are in place to protect consumers from abusive, deceptive, and unfair practices by debt collectors. In this case, the company has violated 15 U.S. Code 1692f, which prohibits debt collectors from using unfair or unconscionable means to collect a debt. Specifically, they can not collect any amounts that arent explicitly authorized by the agreement or allowed by law. Additionally, the company has violated 15 U.S. Code 1692e, which prohibits the use of false, deceptive, or misleading representations in debt collection efforts. This includes using deceptive methods to collect a debt or gather consumer information. Moreover, they are forbidden from contacting consumers at inconvenient times or places, or engaging in behavior that harasses or abuses consumers. 

In this case, the company has harassed me by claiming I owe a debt that I do not recognize as my responsibility. They have also contacted me at inconvenient times and places, in violation of the law.

Complaint narrative:
I am filing a complaint against Equifax for failing to properly investigate my disputes regarding inaccuracies in my credit report. 
Despite my submissions, Equifax consistently responds within 24 hours stating the account is accurate, without providing any evidence of a thorough investigation.

This practice violates the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ), 15 U.S.C. 1681i, which mandates a reasonable investigation of disputes. Furthermore, Equifax 's actions may also contravene the Consumer Financial Protection Act ( CFPA ), 12 U.S.C.

5536 ( a ) ( 1 ) ( A ) - ( B ), as highlighted in the CFPB 's recent administrative proceeding ( File No. XXXX ) against them for similar violations. I request that the CFPB take action to ensure Equifax complies with federal law and provides consumers with the necessary proof of investigation.
