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

Complaint narrative:
I am writing to file a formal complaint regarding the inaccurate reporting of a late payment on my credit report by credit bureaus. The presence of this late payment inaccurately reflects my payment history, as I have consistently paid my bills on time.

According to this law, consumers have the right to dispute and seek correction of billing errors, which include inaccuracies in payment reporting.

Complaint narrative:
I am writing to formally dispute certain accounts and inquiries listed on my consumer credit report, as referenced below. These entries appear to be the result of a data breach, fraud, or unauthorized activity. I request verifiable proof, including my signature or electronic signature, for any transactions or inquiries associated with these entries. 

Please note that I am submitting this letter on my own behalf, not through a third party. I ask that you carefully review this matter, as I did not authorize these actions. These unauthorized entries represent a violation of my consumer rights under the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ), specifically Section 605B ( 15 U.S.C. 1681c-2 ), which mandates the blocking of information resulting from a data breach or fraud, and Section 604 ( 15 U.S.C. 1681b ), which defines permissible purposes for consumer reports.

I have already contacted the relevant companies and discovered that these actions were initiated without proper validation or original documentation from the reporting entities. Since I did not authorize these accounts or inquiries, they should be classified as a result of a data breach or illegal reporting by creditors or third-party data furnishers. 

I request that you conduct a thorough investigation into this matter and take appropriate action to resolve these discrepancies as soon as possible.

Complaint narrative:
Experian has failed to fulfill its legal obligation under the fair credit reporting act ( FCRA ) to conduct a reasonable reinvestigation of disputed information on my credit report, leaving unverified and inaccurate accounts unresolved. The consumer financial protection bureau ( XXXX  ) has recently filed a lawsuit against Experian, alleging systematic issues such as failing to forward consumer providing evidence to furnishers, accepting unreliable responses, and failing to adequately notify consumers of dispute outcomes. This failures align with my experiences, where Experian has neither corrected nor removed disputed items despite the evidence I provided, causing on going harm to my credit standing. I am requesting immediate corrective action to remove or amend the disputed accounts, as Experians inaction violates federal law and my rights as a consumer.
