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

Complaint narrative:
My accounts 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 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:
XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX Dear Equifax and CFPB, I am writing to formally address several serious inaccuracies and misleading representations found in my recent credit report, which contain outdated and unverifiable information that violates my rights as a consumer. I request the immediate blocking and deletion of this account due to these discrepancies. 



The following issues have come to my attention : 1. **Misleading Information** : The report lists an account with the description XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX and indicates a derogatory status. This description is vague and does not accurately reflect the nature of the account, thus misleading consumers about their financial responsibilities.

2. **Outdated and Unverified Data** : The account is marked as " seriously past due '' and shows a payment status indicating " Late 120 Days. '' If this information is inaccurate or outdated, it violates the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ), which mandates that consumer reports be accurate and updated regularly.

3. **Inconsistent Account Details** : The report details an account opened on XX/XX/2018 with a balance of {$7300.00}. However, it also states varying payment amounts, which creates confusion regarding the accurate financial obligations tied to this account. 



4. **Inaccurate Payment History** : The payment history indicates monthly payments of {$570.00}, yet the balance reported does not accurately reflect my payment activity. This can unjustly impact my credit score and financial reputation.

5. **Consumer Rights Violations** : The inaccuracies in this report violate my rights under the FCRA, which protects consumers against the reporting of incorrect or unverifiable information. Furthermore, under the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act ( FDCPA ), consumers have the right to dispute inaccuracies and seek validation of debts reported against them. 

In light of these significant concerns, I am requesting the immediate blocking and deletion of this account from my credit report. These inaccuracies pose a detrimental effect on my credit profile and overall financial health. 

I trust that both Equ and the CFPB will take this matter seriously and act swiftly to ensure compliance with consumer protection laws. I look forward to your prompt response regarding the resolution of this matter. 



Thank you for your immediate attention to this urgent request. 



Sincerely, XXXX XXXX

XXXX ended its partnership with XXXX Bank ( the card issuer ) and partnered with XXXX XXXX. It has now ended that partnership and partnered with someone else. Meanwhile, I am in limbo unable to speak to anyone that can help me to get this removed from my credit reports. This is a huge inconvenience and against the law. Regular people shouldn't be left to deal with the fallout from XXXX mergers. I spend hours EVERY SINGLE DAY regarding this, and nobody has any information on this account. I have included news articles that show XXXX 's ending of distributors of its store credit card and I'm certain that I'm not the only person that this has happened to. Please remove this account from my XXXX and TransUnion

Issue: Problem with fraud alerts or security freezes — 
Company: Experian Information Solutions Inc.
State: NJ

Complaint narrative:
I received a fraud alert from a monitoring service and was told to contact all three credit reporting companies and put in a fraud alert and freeze. When trying to contact experian, their website states that my attempts to create an account had to be verified. Neither the email or cell verification process worked and the website told me to call a phone number at experien that led to a phone tree with no options for my problem and that refused to process any other issues. I have been unable to create the experian account I need for the fraud alert and freeze and none of the experian communications options lead to any option for helping with this. So I can not create the freeze or alert.
