Issue: Improper use of your report — Credit inquiries on your report that you don't recognize
Company: EQUIFAX, INC.
State: FL

Complaint narrative:
I am filing this complaint because the consumer reporting agency has included unauthorized hard inquiries on my credit report, which were not initiated by me. This is a violation of my rights under the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ), specifically 15 U.S.C. 1681b ( c ) ( 1 ) ( A ) and ( B ) ( i ) and 15 U.S.C. 1681g ( a ) ( 5 ). These sections prohibit reporting inquiries not initiated by the consumer unless specific conditions are met, such as prior written authorization or a firm offer of credit. I did not authorize these inquiries and never provided my written consent. As such, their presence on my credit report is unlawful. The consumer reporting agency has also failed to provide evidence of permissible purpose or documentation containing my signature authorizing these inquiries.

Complaint narrative:
My account with XXXX XXXX XXXX  XXXX 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 in to be removed.

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. 

XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX never sent the periodic statement along with the disclosures from section 1637 ( b ).

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!

Delete the late payments from my consumer reports

Complaint narrative:
I am writing to formally dispute the collection account that Jefferson Capital is reporting to the credit bureaus regarding an alleged debt from XXXX. Upon recently reviewing my credit reports for the intention of purchasing a home, I was shocked to find this collection listed. I have no knowledge or record of ever holding an account with this company, nor have I received any prior communication from your officeincluding but not limited to a phone call, text message, email, or the Dunning notice required by the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act ( FDCPA ). This lack of notification raises serious concerns regarding the legitimacy, accuracy, and ownership of this alleged debt. This erroneous reporting has caused me significant harm, including difficulty obtaining credit and jeopardizing my pending home loan application. Given that I have not received any required notice or verification as outlined under 15 U.S.C. 1692g, this collection account appears to be in violation of federal law.

Complaint narrative:
I noticed this account unexpectedly appeared on my credit report, and I do not recognize the debt being reported. I never received any billing statements, account notices, or collection letters regarding this balance. The amount listed is unfamiliar, and to my knowledge, I was never contacted by the original creditor or any collection agency prior to this reporting. I attempted to resolve the issue by reviewing my records and contacting relevant financial institutions, but I found no documentation linking me to this alleged debt. The reporting date also seems inconsistent with my known credit activity. I am now disputing the accuracy and validity of this account, and I respectfully request a full investigation and prompt removal if proper verification can not be provided.
