Company: EQUIFAX, INC.
State: LA

Complaint narrative:
My complaint doesn't exactly fit with the descriptions that are available, but I think it's valid. The complaint i have is around inaccurate information being released as part of my credit report. Specifically, when it comes to credit utilization. I fully understand that credit card companies have the right to lower credit limits but when that new number is reported to the credit reporting agencies it causes a cascade of inaccurate results. The key to note is that my utilization hasn't changed so when the credit companies ' lower limits they are in fact influencing the utilization score. Example If I have a card that had a {$10000.00} available credit and I used {$1000.00}, a year later the cc company decides for whatever reason to lower it to XXXX, I've gone from a utilization of 10 % to a utilization of 66 % but the argument stands I didn't utilize 66 %, the credit card company created this utilization and now the user has to deal with the consequences of inaccurate classification and reporting. Which typically lead to other creditors reviewing utilization and deciding they will lower available credit to similar levels, and it just keeps going. I've had this happen a couple of times, and I never fault the creditor it's within their right, but " my utilization '' needs to be the factual number of my use with the credit that I had available. Additionally, I already know Pay down your card to get your utilization percentage back, that still doesn't change the fact that my credit score can be impacted by arbitrary actions a creditor can take. It doesn't change the fact that my utilization score can be manipulated by the creditor and as such is not a true representation of my actual use.

Complaint narrative:
XXXX XXXX XXXX is reporting {$500.00} was not paid. XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX. I have contacted XXXX XXXX, XXXX XXXX and Experian give notice that this creditor is providing false information. Unfortunately, Experian continue to report this error. This account was paid in full by the insurance company through XXXX XXXX when I injured myself at work and was no longer able to work. This loan had insurance, that was paid for in the event I could not work, which is what happened. The creditor ( XXXX XXXX ) was aware that I had insurance on this account he helped me file it. I filed the claim and money was paid to XXXX XXXX to cover the balance owed. Experian is aware this was an insurance claim that was paid in full. Experian decline to remove this error or put notice I was disputing this debt so that creditors would see it when pulling my credit report. This is a fraud account. 


XXXX XXXX XXXX is reporting I own {$670.00}. XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXXXXXX XXXX XXXX XXXXXXXX. This was reported as a fraud account. A police report was provided, Experian continue to report this against my credit file. The creditor was given written notice that this was a fraud account, they decline to remove this derogatory report off my credit file after months of trying to get this error corrected. Experian declined to remove it and declared it valid even after notice was given that this was a fraud account. I asked Experian to provide evidence that the creditor validated this claim, no response to my request. 

XXXX XXXX XXXX {$1800.00} is owed to them. XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX I have never lived in an apartment. I own my own home. My identity was compromised during this time, a credit card was open as well as someone rented an apartment using my social security card. XXXX declined to request photo identification before putting a lease in my name. I contacted XXXX XXXX and was told the company was sold and no records could be found. Experian still continue to report this with no evidence to support this claim is valid. I own my home and never lived in an apartment and do not know anyone who lived there. Experian declined to have this removed and continue to report it after several disputes. This is a fraud account. 

XXXX XXXX is reporting a balance of {$4600.00}. This is not my account. I have disputed a few times. This account is older than 7 years but it is still being reported. 

XXXX XXXX is reporting an account as delinquent. Account was paid in full under insurance claim filed after I was unable to work due to health issues.
