Issue: Incorrect information on your report — Account status incorrect
Company: EQUIFAX, INC.
State: TX

Complaint narrative:
My accounts was never late! I have had exceptional payment history with XXXX  XXXX  and all payments were placed on Autopay. This late payment that is reporting is a result on a systematic error on their end processing my payment. This was clearly a billing error made my the company and is not a reflection of my payment experience which violates USC Code 1681eb. This error has caused severe hard to my reputation, my character, my mode of living and to my family! I demand the late payment reported to be removed/updated. They are not in compliance with the following law. 15 USC 1666b and its requirements set the standards and the guidance for a creditor to treat a payment as late, yet they are reporting a payment as late and they did not comply with the law! 15 USC 1666b ( a ) Time to make payments A creditor may not treat a payment on a credit card account under an open end consumer credit plan as late for any purpose, unless the creditor has adopted reasonable procedures designed to ensure that each periodic statement including the information required by section 1637 ( b ) of this title is mailed or delivered to the consumer not later than 21 days before the payment due date. I have requested proof that this information was mailed or delivered 21 days before the payment due date and this information was requested in good faith pursuant rule 1002 and It was never provided. This is unfair, illegal, fraudulent, and not equitable to me as a consumer!

Complaint narrative:
This is not a reinvestigation request. It is a formal complaint requesting enforcement action due to Experians failure to comply with the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ).

Verification of Debt ( VOD ) requests were submitted both through Experians dispute portal and via certified mail to each data furnisher, with USPS delivery confirmation by XX/XX/2025. 

To date, no legally sufficient verification has been provided for the following accounts that remain actively reporting : Department of Education/XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXXXXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX tradelines ) In addition, the following accounts were previously listed on my Experian report and must be explicitly prevented from reappearing under any circumstance XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX 

FCRA 1681i ( a ) ( 5 ) ( A ) requires deletion of any disputed account if not verified within 30 days. These furnishers failed to provide supporting documentation within the legally required timeframe, and Experians continued reporting ( or potential reinsertion ) of these accounts violates both the spirit and letter of the law.

Furthermore, Experians dispute portal imposes character limitations that obstruct full statutory language from being submitted, and has mislabeled consumer language creating procedural barriers to lawful dispute entry.

This complaint is submitted for formal regulatory enforcement. A full audit trail of Experians internal handling of each dispute is requested.

Complaint narrative:
This is a formally disputing of several fraudulent items on my credit report that are the result of identity theft. Upon obtaining a recent copy of my credit report, I discovered unauthorized fraudulent accounts, personal information and credit inquiries that do not belong to me. 

Enclosed with this letter are the documents supporting my claim, including a Federal Trade Commission ( FTC ) identity theft report. Please note that the FTC identity theft report is legit and accurately reflects the identity theft incident. I request that you do not question its authenticity and use it as grounds to delay investigating and removing these fraudulent items from my credit report. 

Under the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ), specifically sections 605B 1681C-2 and 611 1681E, you are legally required to BLOCK AND REMOVE the fraudulent information from my credit report within four business days. 

These sections mandate your obligations as a credit reporting agency to protect consumers in cases of identity theft and to promptly investigate and eliminate unauthorized fraudulent information.

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 inaccurate or unverifiable accounts unresolved. The Consumer Financial Protection Bureau ( CFPB ) has recently filed a lawsuit against Experian, alleging systemic issues such as failing to forward consumer-provided evidence to furnishers, accepting unreliable responses, and failing to adequately notify consumers of dispute outcomes. These failures align with my experience, where Experian has neither corrected nor removed disputed items despite the evidence I provided, causing ongoing harm to my credit standing. I am requesting immediate corrective action to remove or amend the disputed accounts, as Experian 's inaction violates federal law and my rights as a consumer.

Complaint narrative:
Subject : XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX Account Deactivation and Withholding of Funds To Whom It XXXX Concern, I am filing a formal complaint against Square XXXX XXXX XXXX the sudden deactivation of my business account and the withholding of over {$34000.00} in customer funds without clear explanation or due process. 

On XX/XX/year>, XXXX unexpectedly deactivated my account, citing a violation of their terms of service. However, no specific details were provided about the alleged violation, and my attempts to seek clarification through their customer support channels have been met with vague responses and no resolution. 

As of today, XXXX is holding {$34000.00} in customer payments that were processed through their platform. These funds are critical for fulfilling orders and maintaining my business operations. XXXX  refusal to release the money or provide a timeline for resolution is not only detrimental to my business, but also puts my reputation and customer relationships at serious risk. A representative stated that they must hold my funds for XXXX  days. This was after my account had already passed their initial review just days earlier. Now my business is at risk of being lost completely. XXXX stated that I could refund my customers and then go collect the payment again. I can not do this, I am risking my entire business because XXXX deactivated my account without any notice or reason. I never had a chargeback or dispute ever. Not XXXX transaction was undocumented or illegitimate. 

I am requesting the following from XXXX XXXX XXXX : XXXX. A detailed explanation of the reason for my account deactivation. 
XXXX. XXXX release of the {$34000.00} currently being withheld. 
XXXX. A formal review of the account closure and opportunity to appeal the decision. 

XXXX  lack of transparency and communication is unacceptable, especially considering the significant amount of money involved. I urge the XXXX to investigate this matter and help facilitate a resolution. 

Thank you for your time and attention. 

Sincerely, XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX ( XXXX ) ( XXXX ) XXXX, XXXX Account number XXXX
