Company: EQUIFAX, INC.
State: PA

Complaint narrative:
To whom it may concern, This complaint is against XXXX, XXXX, AND EQUIFAX for the following violations of my rights as a federally protected consumer under the Fair Credit Reporting Act and Privacy Act of XXXX.

15USC 1681 a ( d ) ( 2 ) ( A ) ( i ) states that transactions between the consumer and the Person/Corporation making the report is NOT included on the consumer reports. XXXX, XXXX, AND EQUIFAX are in direct violation of this law by reporting my transaction history ( private information ) illegally WITHOUT my WRITTEN CONSENT for XXXX XXXX XXXX account # XXXX  and XXXX XXXX XXXX  account # XXXX. Reporting of excluded information pursuant to 15USC 1681 a ( d ) ( 2 ) ( A ) ( i ) on a consumer report is a clear violation of Fair Credit Reporting Act compliance. Per 15 USC 6802 I am now exerting MY RIGHT to OPT OUT of sharing my transaction history. All transactions reporting as late on XXXX XXXX XXXX account # XXXX  must be deleted and updated to paid as agreed. All transactions reporting as late on XXXX XXXX XXXX  account # XXXX  must be deleted and updated to current/paid as agreed. A response of this account has been " validated ', will not be accepted as I am not asking you to validate or verify anything. XXXX, XXXX, AND EQUIFAX are reporting the account XXXX XXXX XXXXXXXX XXXX Account # XXXX  in the amount {$520.00} as a charge off on my credit report. The IRS CLEARLY defines a CHARGE OFF as a CERTIFICATE OF INDEBTEDNESS which is now INCOME. INCOME CAN NOT be reported on THE CONSUMER REPORT which makes reporting of this account INACCURATE and in violation of 15 USC 1681. Additionally, the negative accounts have been placed in Collection/Charge-Off Status WITHOUT mailing me a copy of IRS form 1099-C Cancellation of Debt XXXX, XXXX, AND EQUIFAX reporting collections/Charge-Offs XXXX late payments/other derogatory information in my consumer reports are in violation of 26 USC ss 6050P Returns Relating to the Cancellation of Indebtedness by Certain Entities.

Company: EQUIFAX, INC.

Complaint narrative:
I sent a certified letter to Equifax disputing incorrect information on my credit report. I asked them for a method of verification on several accounts that appear on my credit file. Equifax failed to respond, send any correspondence or investigate my dispute because the errors are still reporting on my credit file. To be specific, according to the Fair Credit Reporting Act, Section 609 ( a ) ( 1 ) ( A ) I requested Equifax send me physical proof of verification. Their lack of professionalism is disrespectful and costing me and my family financial distress. XXXX refuses to respond or delete inaccurate information after given the 30-day period to investigate my disputes. Stalling, hoping that I would stop disputing eventually.

Complaint narrative:
recently reviewed my consumer report and I noticed that there were two late payments on my account with XXXX  XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX that I havent been late for. In addition to that, I have also noticed that several of my consumer rights have been violated in the midst of these late payments being added to my credit report. According to the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ), as outlined in 15 USC 1681e ( b ), consumer reporting agencies are responsible for providing maximum accuracy when reporting consumer information, however my consumer report has several inaccuracies that I have attached below. In addition to that late payments are considered transactions due to the late fees that are associated with credit cards & according to 15 U.S. Code 1681a 2 ( A ) ( i ) consumer reports should not include information pertaining to any transactions or experiences between the consumer and the originator of the report. If this is the case, late payments that I am not responsible for should definitely not be reported on my consumer report! I am aware of several other consumer rights that have been violated and I am prepared to settle for civil liability damages that I have suffered as a result of your violations. Please investigate and provide proof with statements showing that these payments were late. If proof can not be provided, I ask that any late payments associated with XXXX XXXX for the month of XX/XX/20XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXXXXXX for the month of XX/XX/2023 be updated to paid as agreed on time and NOT DELETED so the account can remain active. Thank You! Please see the attached screenshot to view the late payments and inaccuracies that I am disputing. Your cooperation in this matter is crucial to ensure the accuracy of my credit report and to safeguard my rights as a consumer under the FCRA. I appreciate your prompt attention to this dispute and look forward to a resolution in a timely manner.

Company: CITIBANK, N.A.
State: CA

Complaint narrative:
Citibank has blocked my account since XX/XX/2024 for no apparent reason. I made a complaint earlier with CFPB and CitiBank responded saying the fraud department sent me a letter in the mail to confirm my account on XX/XX/XXXX and again on XX/XX/2024, neither of which I have received. They said it takes 7-10 business days to receive the letter and its been past that timeframe, twice already. Please contact the Account Takeover Department because they are the ones sending the letter and they are either sending it to the wrong address or not sending it at all. Citi Executive Response Unit will respond to this complaint by saying they sent a letter to my address and that the case is resolved ; I dont accept this response because they are still to contact the Account Takeover department and investigate why the are sending the letter to the wrong address. It can not be a coincidence that the mailman lost the letter, 2 times already. I still reason various anonymous mail from Citibank concerning my account, this seems to be the only letter from Citibank that I havent received and its from this particular department, so they are obviously doing something wrong. Ive filed a complaint with Citibank executive response unit and they basically told me they dont have any control over the fraud department and have no rapport with them and cant even call them. I have my life savings of {$55000.00} in this account which I can not access and this is jeopardizing my familys living situation as I am unable to pay rent without these funds.
