Company: EQUIFAX, INC.
State: IL

Complaint narrative:
I am writing to lodge a formal dispute against the continued reporting of the XXXXXXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX  account on my Equifax credit report. Please note that this account has already been deleted from my XXXX report, proving it is unverifiable and must not be reported further. The fact that it remains on Equifax and XXXX  violates multiple sections of the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ). 

Account Information : - Creditor : XXXXXXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXXXX/XX/XXXX - Current Status : Reported as 'Charged Off Account ' Legal Violations : 1. FCRA 605 ( a ) ( 5 ) The FCRA strictly prohibits the reporting of charge-off accounts beyond XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX days from the Date of First Delinquency ( DOFD ). This account went delinquent in XXXX, meaning the legal reporting window has expired. Continued reporting is unlawful and must cease immediately.

2. FCRA 623 ( a ) ( 5 ) Furnishers of information are prohibited from re-aging accounts to extend the reporting period. Updating or altering this account to appear newer than its actual delinquency date constitutes illegal re-aging.

3. FCRA 1681i Failure to properly investigate. XXXX already deleted this account as unverifiable. Equifax and XXXX  are required to perform the same deletion to remain compliant.

4. FCRA 1681e ( b ) Failure to ensure maximum possible accuracy. Reporting a zero balance charge-off beyond the statutory limit is not only inaccurate but misleading to creditors reviewing my report.

Requested Remedy : I demand the immediate and permanent deletion of the XXXXXXXX XXXX  account from my Equifax and XXXX  credit reports. This account is obsolete under federal law and should no longer appear on any consumer credit file. Please provide me with written confirmation of this deletion. 

Failure to comply will leave me no choice but to escalate this matter through the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau ( CFPB ) and to pursue all legal remedies available under the FCRA for continued inaccurate and unlawful reporting. 

Sincerely, XXXX XXXX

Complaint narrative:
To Whom It May Concern : I am submitting this complaint regarding Equifax 's failure to properly investigate my consumer report dispute, in direct violation of their obligations under the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ). On XX/XX/year>, I filed a formal dispute with Equifax to correct fraudulent and inaccurate information appearing on my consumer report. Instead of conducting a proper investigation, Equifax responded with a stall letter that neither addressed my dispute nor took steps to resolve the inaccuracies. 

I am aware that the CFPB has recently filed a lawsuit against Equifax for these very same practices namely, their systemic failure to properly investigate consumer disputes. I am a direct victim of this misconduct. 

As a XXXX veteran who suffers from XXXX, this experience has been extremely stressful and emotionally triggering. I am currently in the process of closing on a mortgage, and I am under strict time constraints with only XXXX week remaining to finalize my home purchase. Equifaxs refusal to lawfully process my dispute is putting my homeownership at serious risk, compounding my stress and potentially causing irreparable harm to my financial future. 

I respectfully request that the CFPB take immediate action to ensure Equifax fully complies with the FCRA, properly investigates my dispute without further delay, and removes the fraudulent and inaccurate items from my consumer report. I also request that Equifax be held accountable for the injury and distress they have caused. 

I am attaching supporting documents, including copies of my dispute submission and Equifaxs stall letter, should you require further evidence of their noncompliance. 

Thank you for your immediate attention to this urgent matter.

Complaint narrative:
This id a continued complaint. I have reached out the EQUIFAX AND TRANSUNION regarding the XXXX XXXX ACCOUNT, reporting to my credit report. Equifax has stated to me that verification method used to validate accounts is sent electronically and the company responds electronically ( never providing LEGAL DOCUMENTATION REQUIRED UNDER FREDERAL LAW ). I have reached out this agency in multiple occasions requesting this information in which the false creditor has failed to provide as well as the credit bureaus. Under section 609a of the FCRA, you must provide me with original wet ink signature contracts, validation the debt reporting to my credit report. As previously stated, I am the ONLY owner of XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX, a natural person, and any negative information reporting in order to defame this name will result in a litigation process against all agencies reporting this information. EQUIFAX also state that information is verified through court records, which I have contacted the county & state clerk who has informed me via writing that they do not verify third party information. THIS IS THE FINAL REQUEST FOR THIS ACCOUNT TO BE PERMANENTLY DELETED FROM MY CREDIT REPORT WITHIN XXXX BUSINESS DAYS.

Complaint Regarding Unverified Collection Account XXXX I am filing a complaint under the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ). A collection account reported by Ally Financial on my credit report is inaccurate and unverifiable.

I disputed this account with the credit reporting agencies, citing my rights under 15 U.S.C. 1681i ( a ) ( reinvestigation requirement ) and 15 U.S.C. 1681s-2 ( b ) ( furnishers duty to report only accurate information ).

Despite my dispute, the account remains without proper validation or supporting documentation. This violates my rights under the FCRA.

Complaint narrative:
I am submitting this formal complaint against TransUnion for repeated and egregious violations of the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ), codified at 15 U.S.C. 1681 et seq. Over an extended period of time spanning well beyond a year, I have submitted numerous formal disputes regarding the fraudulent XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX, which was accessed and reported without a permissible purpose in direct violation of 1681b ( a ). Despite providing all required documentationincluding government- issued identification, proof of address, a valid Identity Theft Report, and a signed statement under penalty of perjuryTransUnion has failed to take corrective action or respond as required by law. My signed statement under penalty of perjury was submitted in accordance with FCRA 605B, which requires credit reporting agencies to block fraudulent information when a consumer provides proper identity theft documentation. This sworn statement affirms that the disputed account was not authorized by me and is the result of identity theft, and it legally obligates TransUnion to block the account within four business days of receipt. Their failure to do so is a direct violation of 605B ( a ). The following letters were sent as part of my ongoing efforts to resolve this matter : XX/XX/XXXX SENT Dispute Letter XX/XX/XXXX SENT Identity theft Demand Letter XX/XX/XXXX SENT Dispute Letter XX/XX/XXXX SENT Demand for Immediate Action : Violations of the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ) Related to Identity Theft XX/XX/XXXX SENT Dispute Letter XX/XX/XXXX SENT Formal Complaint and Demand for Immediate Compliance Violations of the FCRA and XXXX XX/XX/XXXX SENT Reinsertion Without Notification Continued FCRA Violations These letters, along with many others sent prior, were submitted in good faith and in full compliance with FCRA procedures. TransUnion has ignored these disputes and failed to respond within the statutory 30-day window under 1681i ( a ) ( 1 ) ( A ), constituting repeated and ongoing violations of federal law. TransUnions continued reporting of the XXXXXXXX XXXX account after being notified multiple times of its illegitimacy and lack of permissible purpose demonstrates a pattern of willful noncompliance under 1681n and negligent noncompliance under 1681o. These repeated violations have caused me substantial financial harm, emotional distress, and reputational damage, including denial of credit opportunities and undue scrutiny

I was harassed by the company Sunrise for a debt that was owed. I was called repeatedly every single day for months on end. After I would return their call and say I was working on getting the money together they would continue to harass me with phone calls and texts. It was adding an extra pressure and stress to the situation. Not only did they call me repeatedly they would use different numbers to try and get me to answer. I would get phone calls first thing in the morning at XXXX and it would wake me up and ruin my sleep schedule for work. Eventually I paid the debt but I didnt realize the harassment that was taken place this year and the year prior.
