Complaint narrative:
Name : XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX : XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX, Kentucky XXXX Date of Birth : XXXX Last 4 of SSN : XXXX XXXX Dispute of Unauthorized Credit Inquiries. 

To Whom It May Concern, I am writing to dispute several unauthorized inquiries on my credit report, in accordance with my rights under the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ), specifically sections 611 ( 15 U.S.C. 1681i ), 609 ( 15 U.S.C. 1681g ), and 604 ( 15 U.S.C. 1681b ). After reviewing my recent credit report, I have identified the following inquiries that I do not recognize or authorize : Disputed Inquiry : XXXX XXXX XXXXXXXX XXXX XX/XX/year> XXXX. XXXX XXXX XXXX XX/XX/year> XXXX. XXXX XXXX XXXX XX/XX/year> XXXX. XXXX XXXX XXXX XX/XX/year> Basis for Dispute Section 611 ( 15 U.S.C. 1681i ) states that I have the right to dispute any inaccurate or incomplete information on my credit report. I request that you investigate these unauthorized inquiries and remove them from my credit report. 

Section 609 ( 15 U.S.C. 1681g ) grants me the right to access all information in my file, including the inquiries made. After reviewing this information, I firmly believe that the inquiries listed above should not be on my report.

Section 604 ( 15 U.S.C. 1681b ) defines the permissible purposes for obtaining credit reports. I did not give my consent for these inquiries to be made, and I can not find a permissible purpose under this section that justifies their presence on my report. 

Request I request that they be removed from my credit report. I also request that you provide me with an updated copy of my credit report once the necessary corrections have been made. Enclosed is a copy of my identification to verify my identity. I appreciate your prompt attention to this matter. Please confirm receipt of this letter and keep me informed of the progress of your investigation. 

The inquiries are being reported on my consumer file in violation of the Fair Credit Reporting Act, section 1681b ( a ) ( 3 ) ( A ). None of these credit transactions involved the extension of credit to, me, the consumer, although there was intent to use my information in connection therewith.. 

Here I attach, along with the dispute, my fraud report that I just sent to EQUIFAX for the second time so that these questions can be removed, hoping that this time this problem will be completely resolved. 

I demand that the above inquiries be deleted from my credit file because they are causing irreparable harm to my name and good character as well as my overall credit capacity. 

Best regards, XXXX XXXX XXXX

Complaint narrative:
XXXX XXXX Subject : Second Complaint Regarding Inaccurate Information on My Credit Report am writing to file a formal complaint regarding inaccurate information that continues to be reported on my Experian credit report, despite my prior attempt to resolve the issue Prior CFPB investigation number XXXX. This is my second complaint concerning this matter, and I am seeking your assistance to ensure that my rights under the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ), 15 U.S.C. 1681 et seq., are not being violated. The specific issue involves charge-off accounts that were included in my bankruptcy and should no longer be reported as active or charged-off. The following accounts are listed incorrectly on my credit report : XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXXXXXX These accounts were discharged in bankruptcy, and under the FCRA, they should not be reporting as charge-offs, nor should there be any negative public record or derogatory information associated with them. However, these accounts are still being reported inaccurately on my credit file, which violates FCRA 15 U.S.C. 1681b and 15 U.S.C. 1681e. To date, XXXX ( the credit reporting agency ) has failed to respond to my initial dispute, and the inaccurate information remains on my report. The failure to take corrective action within the legally required 30-day period is a violation of the FCRA, and this noncompliance is causing me significant financial distress. Given that more than 30 days have passed, I am now requesting immediate and decisive action from both Experian and the above-mentioned creditors. Specifically, I demand that : The inaccurate charge-off statuses be removed from my credit report. Accounts included in bankruptcy be properly marked as discharged, with the public record removed if applicable. Experian and the reporting creditors fully investigate and expunge any inaccuracies that remain on my report. I receive confirmation that the corrections have been made, and an updated credit report is provided to me. I am also seeking monetary relief for the financial and emotional stress caused by these violations of my rights. The continued inaccuracy of my credit report has hindered my ability to secure credit, housing, and other financial opportunities, which is deeply detrimental to my well-being. I trust that the CFPB will investigate this matter thoroughly and assist in ensuring that my consumer rights are upheld. Your prompt attention to this serious issue will be greatly appreciated. Please contact me at the information provided above if any additional documentation is required. Thank you for your assistance. XXXX XXXX

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

Complaint narrative:
My accounts was never late! I have had exceptional payment history with XXXX XXXXXXXX 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 n
ot 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!
