Issue: Unable to get your credit report or credit score — Other problem getting your report or credit score
Company: EQUIFAX, INC.
State: CO

Complaint narrative:
Ever since Equifax was outsourced, seems their score system has been wrong. 
I have repeatedly called to try to fix the issue, explaining that every time I charge, my credit score decreases by 3-4 or more points, but when I pay off accounts in full, I get no increase. 
In the past year, my score has decreased by XXXX points, which is unacceptable, as I pay all my cards in full every month. 
The language barrier makes it difficult to communicate and thus, I can not obtain the information. 
I have sent a registered letter in XXXX of XXXX with the account balances and payments, but have yet to receive a reply. 
My credit report is very important to me, and therefore, I am constantly checking the information and score.

Complaint narrative:
I am seeking a goodwill adjustment for late payments on my Citibank/CitiCards account. Despite having made timely payments for the majority of the account 's life, a few late payments were reported due to a temporary financial hardship caused by unexpected medical expenses.

I have since rectified the issue, and my payment history has been positive. I have provided proof of consistent on-time payments since the late payments were recorded. I am requesting that Citibank/CitiCards update my account to reflect this positive payment history and remove or update the late payments as a goodwill adjustment, given my current status and the impact of these late payments on my credit score.

This request is made to improve my credit profile and rectify any negative impacts caused by the previously reported late payments.

Complaint narrative:
I informed Equifax that they are inaccurately reporting a balance owed for XXXX, XXXX, and XX/XX/XXXX on an account that was paid off and closed. They were also incorrectly reporting the account as 60 days late. I provided Equifax with the title of my truck, which was paid off in full in XX/XX/XXXX, along with documentation from XXXX confirming my ownership. The attached document is Equifax 's response. The updated status of the account now shows " Account closed; was 30-59 Days Past Due. '' I have also attached documentation from XXXX indicating that the account was not reported as late from XX/XX/XXXX to XX/XX/XXXX, contrary to Equifax 's report. Equifax has failed to correct the balance for XXXX and XXXX and has updated the account status in a manner that still negatively impacts my credit, instead of updating it to " Status : Pays As Agreed.

I wish to express my deep disappointment regarding the reporting provided by your organization, as documented in the enclosed document. It is regrettable to note that the aforementioned reporting falls significantly short of being comprehensive and fails to meet the standards I deem essential. As mandated by the law, it is crucial for both your esteemed entity and the data furnishers involved to undertake the certification of all facets pertaining to the obligatory Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ) and Metro 2 compliance. This certification must be executed with utmost integrity, accuracy, thoroughness, and timeliness, so as to avoid any inadvertent violation or infringement upon my consumer and civil rights

Complaint narrative:
" 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.

This is a violation of both 15 U.S. Code 1681b ( 2 ) and 15 U.S. Code 1681c-2. This leads way to civil liability against the credit reporting agency for negligent and willful noncompliance under 15 U.S. Code 1681n, which allows for {$1000.00} per violation, for each account listed without my expressed written consent.

I looked at my consumer reports and noticed accounts I never gave anyone permission to report. Consumer reporting agencies have assumed a vital role and have a responsibility to report consumer information to the best of their ability with maximum possible accuracy like the Fair Credit Reporting Act clearly states. I did not provide written consent to report them "
