Product: Credit reporting or other personal consumer reports — Credit reporting
Issue: Improper use of your report — Reporting company used your report improperly
Company: EQUIFAX, INC.
State: VA

Complaint narrative:
Upon reviewing my credit report, I discovered several accounts that I do not recognize and believe to be fraudulent. These accounts appear to be opened without my authorization, and I am deeply concerned about the potential impact on my credit standing and financial well-being. I suspect that I am a victim of identity theft, as I have not initiated or authorized the opening of these accounts. The presence of these unauthorized accounts on my credit report has caused me significant distress and uncertainty about the security of my personal information. I have attached a copy of my credit report highlighting the unrecognized accounts for your reference.

Complaint narrative:
I am writing to request assistance with multiple inaccuracies on my credit report that have adversely impacted my credit standing. Despite my efforts to resolve these issues directly with both creditors and credit reporting agencies, I have not received a satisfactory resolution. These inaccuracies include erroneous information regarding account details, duplicated accounts, outdated collection entries, incorrect open or closed account statuses, and unauthorized inquiries, all of which create a misleading portrayal of my creditworthiness. I kindly ask the CFPB to require the involved parties to correct, delete, or update the disputed information on my credit report in line with the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ), so that my credit report can reflect my accurate financial history. I am attaching supporting documents and I look forward to your assistance in resolving this matter promptly. Thank you for your attention to this request.

Complaint narrative:
My accounts was never late! I have had exceptional payment history with XXXX  XXXX and all payments were placed on XXXX. 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:
I am contacting you to formally dispute certain inaccuracies present on my credit report. These inaccuracies are not only damaging to my credit profile but also represent a violation of my rights under the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ). 

To aid in a thorough and timely investigation, I have attached documentation that clearly demonstrates the discrepancies in question. I urge you to carefully review these materials and address the inaccuracies accordingly. 

As stipulated by the FCRA, credit bureaus are obligated to ensure that all information reported is accurate and verifiable. The inaccurate data on my report, as evidenced in the enclosed documents, does not meet these standards, thus violating Sections 1681e ( b ) and 1681i of the FCRA, which require credit bureaus to ensure reasonable accuracy and to investigate disputed information.

I have been the victim of Identity Theft and as a result there are fraudulent accounts and inquiries reporting on my Cheksystem consumer report. On XXXX/XXXX/XXXX  I contacted Cheksystem by letter notifying them of fraudulent accounts and inquiries due to my identity being compromised and requested these fraudulent accounts be removed.

This response is not in compliance with the FCRA and I am requesting this matter be investigated.

I have included all correspondence sent to Cheksystem regarding this matter.

Thank you for your attention concerning this matter.

Complaint narrative:
This debt collector has engaged in practices that violate the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act ( FDCPA ). They have reported an account that I did not consent to, and there is no signed agreement from me authorizing it. A valid legal contract requires the signatures of both parties, and I was not involved in such an agreement. Furthermore, they failed to adhere to the proper 5-step validation process as mandated by the FDCPA. These actions clearly infringe upon my rights under the law, and I am entitled to compensation for these violations. I demand the immediate removal of this accountfrommyrecord.

Complaint narrative:
I have a savings/brokerage account with Merrill Lynch and I reached out to my advisor on XX/XX/2024 to withdraw funds. My email to the advisor bounced and her phone number had been disconnected. I reached out to ML to find out what happened and was told my advisor was no longer at the company and I would be assigned a new advisor. A week had passed and no one from ML reached out to me. I followed up and was told I would receive a call from a new advisor. Another week had passed and still nothing. Finally I did receive a call from my new advisor and he told me he would reach out to me via email so I had his contact info. I never received that email. A month after my initial inquiry, I finally get my advisor 's info off our bank statement. When I spoke to him, he didn't know who I was, he was very short with me and when I told him I want to close the account he got rude and said that there were a lot of steps and verifications that needs to be done in order for me to do this, including getting my other bank 's consent to transfer out the funds. I sent him the written request and have heard nothing back. I have another account with ML and they haven't even assigned an advisor to that account, so I can't do anything with the funds.

Complaint narrative:
I have received another cash advance charge on my account despite paying off the cash advance three days after it was taken. 

XX/XX/year> : Cash advance for {$2300.00} XX/XX/year> : Finance Charge on cash advance : {$110.00} XX/XX/year> : Called and spoke with customer service to ensure cash advance fully paid off. 
XX/XX/year> : Payment : - {$2400.00} I have no problem with these charges and paid off the advance promptly. 

XX/XX/year>XXXX  : Interest Charge on Cash A : {$6.00} XX/XX/year>XXXX  : Finance charge refunded : - {$6.00} [ this only occurred after calling XXXX XXXX ] XX/XX/year>XXXX  : called to request the refund on the interest charge and reconfirm I would no longer be charged interest for the cash advance paid off in XXXX. 

XX/XX/year> : Interest Charge on Cash A : {$1.00} These are small amounts but if multiplied across PNC customers could add up to millions of dollars. The policy of continuing to charge interest without an ability of the customer to pay the debt off I believe constitutes predatory lending practices.
