State: TX

Complaint narrative:
" I am writing to formally file a complaint regarding unauthorized accounts that persist on my credit report despite my repeated efforts to have them removed. These accounts are causing significant damage to my financial reputation and overall well-being. It is evident that the inclusion of these fraudulent items violates 15 USC 1681b regarding permissible purposes, as the credit bureaus have no legitimate reason to report them without my explicit consent. Please refer to the attached file detailing these items I am disputing.

The Fair Credit Reporting Act ( 15 U.S. Code 1681 ) says ( 1 ) The banking system is dependent upon fair and accurate credit reporting. Inaccurate credit reports directly impair the efficiency of the banking system, and unfair credit reporting methods undermine the public confidence, which is essential to the continued functioning of the banking system. So whenever there is a violation under the FCRA, it impairs the efficiency of the banking system. This is a violation of my privacy with my consumer report, since I control what is listed and what is not. In the event that any accounts are reported without my written consent, that is considered identity theft. ''

State: NY

Complaint narrative:
Spoke to a Representative from American Express name XXXX just now ( XX/XX/year> ). 
Asked her why am I being billed for XXXX? First of all I told her that one I never used the card and I never renewed my membership fee. So she when to check to why I was being charged. She later on, said that it was American Express that was charging me. No charger from any stores we're made. In my head if I did not pay for the membership fee it means that I can no longer use the card to charge with. American Express is asking me to 3 years of membership fee. I never used the card for those 3 years and I never activated my membership fee.

Complaint narrative:
XX/XX/XXXX Subject : Formal Complaint Regarding Inaccurate Late Payments on Account [ XXXX ] Dear CFPB, I am filing a formal complaint against your bureau for failing to correct inaccurate information regarding late payments reported on my credit report for account [ XXXX ]. Despite multiple requests for correction via disputes submitted on XX/XX/XXXX and XX/XX/XXXX, no action has been taken to address these inaccuracies. This lack of resolution is a clear violation of both the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ) and the Truth in Lending Act ( TILA ). 
FCRA Violations : According to 15 U.S. Code 1666b, creditors are required to send periodic statements at least 21 days before the payment due date. The late payment reporting on this account suggests a failure to comply with this requirement. Additionally, 15 U.S. Code 1681i mandates that credit reporting agencies ensure the accuracy of information in consumer files. Your bureaus continued inaction contravenes this obligation.

TILA Violations : The Truth in Lending Act emphasizes the necessity for accurate and timely disclosures to consumers. The erroneous reporting of late payments has caused significant and undue harm to my creditworthiness.

Protection Against Non-Payment of Obligations Act ( PAANL ) : This act reinforces the responsibility of creditors to provide timely statements, preventing unfair penalties to consumers. The failure to correct this inaccurate information reflects non-compliance with these provisions.

Discrepancies and Account Information : Below are the discrepancies observed on my account : Account Details ( Equifax ) : Account Number : XXXX High Balance : {$2400.00} Last Verified : XX/XX/XXXX Date of Last Activity : XX/XX/XXXX Date Reported : XX/XX/XXXX Date Opened : XX/XX/XXXX Balance Owed : {$1500.00} Account Status : Open Payment Status : Current Two-Year Payment History : Erroneously reported 30-day late payment for XX/XX/XXXX Desired Resolution : Immediate removal of the inaccurate late payment notation for XX/XX/XXXX from my credit report. 
Written confirmation of the corrections. 
Supporting Evidence : Copies of my payment history showing timely payments. 
Correspondence regarding previous disputes submitted on XX/XX/XXXX and XX/XX/XXXX. 
Relevant sections of the FCRA and TILA demonstrating your obligations.

If this issue is not resolved promptly, I will escalate my complaint further, including potential legal action and filing additional complaints with the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau ( CFPB ) and other relevant regulatory agencies. 
Thank you for your immediate attention to this matter. I look forward to your prompt response confirming the resolution of this issue. 
Sincerely, XXXX XXXX XXXX

Company: EQUIFAX, INC.
State: NJ

Complaint narrative:
In XX/XX/year>, I disputed an erroneous late payment reported by XXXX XXXX on my Equifax credit report for the month of XX/XX/year>. The dispute was resolved in my favor, with Equifax confirming the correction. However, in XX/XX/year>, the same incorrect late payment ( 60 days past due ) reappeared on my Equifax report despite being properly reported as " on time '' by XXXX and XXXX. 

I reached out immediately via email to XXXX XXXX and Equifax, including their legal departments, customer service, and executive offices, on XX/XX/year>, to highlight the error. Attached to my correspondence was the goodwill adjustment letter from XXXX XXXX confirming that the XX/XX/year> payment was timely. I requested an urgent correction since the error affects my ability to secure critical business credit lines. 

Despite resending my concerns several times ( including today, XX/XX/year> ), I have received no response or acknowledgment from either party. This issue arises solely on Equifax, likely due to a reporting or system error, as my XXXX and XXXX reports remain accurate.

Complaint narrative:
I am writing to express my deep concern regarding the unavailability of my credit data from your bureau. As a diligent consumer who consistently monitors their credit profile, I am troubled by the recent discovery that vital information seems to be missing from your records. Despite being proactive in managing my finances and ensuring timely payments on all accounts, I have encountered significant hurdles due to the absence of my credit data from your bureau. This has not only caused inconvenience but has also put me in a precarious position, especially concerning recent financial transactions and loan applications. I have made numerous attempts to address this issue through your customer service channels, but regrettably, the resolution process has been slow and ineffective. As a result, I find myself facing unnecessary challenges in accessing essential financial services and opportunities.
