Product: Credit reporting, credit repair services, or other personal consumer reports — Credit reporting
Issue: Problem with a credit reporting company's investigation into an existing problem — Investigation took more than 30 days
Company: EQUIFAX, INC.
State: NY

Complaint narrative:
Sent a letter asking Equifax to investigate my accounts. Here is my tracking number : XXXX. It has been over 30 days. These consumer reporting agencies are in violation. According to 15 USC 1681- Equifax have 30 days to investigate and send me the results. And Equifax also didn't even record the current status of the disputed information, which is another violation.

I have all the evidence attached.

I have enclosed a copy of a letter I received from the US Dept of Education ( Account Number XXXX - {$6900.00}, Account Number XXXX - {$1700.00} ) to serve as evidence that these accounts should be removed from my credit profile immediately. I have cleared this up with them, and it is resolved. Remove it from my credit profile immediately. 

When I called Equifax, a representative said that they had not received any of my letters I sent to them. The address I mailed the letters were sent to Equifax Information Services, LLC XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX, GA XXXX and according to USPS my letters were delivered successfully. Equifax does not go through the letters I send them in a timely manner. This is not the first time it has happened when sending them mail. This is unfair, deceptive, or abusive acts and practices. This violates my rights protected by law under the FCRA. 


I also sent a copy of my passport, driver 's license and social security card, and a copy of my Identity Theft Report by certified mail they requested. 

XXXX XXXX Inquiry : Inquired on XX/XX/, 2022 : I did not apply for this credit card. Please remove it immediately from my credit report immediately.

Complaint narrative:
My wife applied and was approved for an Amex card via a referral link that I generated through the Amex site. I should have received around XXXX points as a result of the referral but haven't received them, despite the fact that the referral was made in XXXX. I've escalated this issue to their customer support / care departments but haven't heard back since my last inquiry. Previously they claimed that the reason the points weren't awarded was that my wife applied directly as opposed to using my link ( this is not true ). I believe a technical issue with their referral system is at fault.

State: CA

Complaint narrative:
This is so annoying & frustrating. Ive sent EXPERIAN multiple letters that Im the one whos disputing the items that are UNKNOWN to me. In XXXX responses that make the claim that have not initiated any disputes on my behalf due to the fraudulent or high risk nature, and the documents I provided have either been confirmed as fraudulent or deemed as high risk due to the potential for fraud. This is a complete joke. How in the world did they verify these claims? First of all, I know that under FCRA Section 619 Obtaining information under false pretenses that any person who knowingly and willfully obtains information on a consumer from a consumer reporting agency under false pretenses shall be fined under title 18 United States Code, imprisoned for not more than 2 years, or both. Most importantly, I never sent my documentation to anyone else as it deemed as high risk due to the potential for fraud. Also, according to FCRA 611 ( a ) ( 3 ) Determination That Dispute Is Frivolous or Irrelevant ( A ) a consumer reporting agency may terminate a reinvestigation of information disputed by a consumer under that paragraph if the agency reasonably determines that the dispute by the consumer is frivolous or irrelevant, including by reason of a failure by a consumer to provide sufficient information to investigate the disputed information.

( B ) Notice of determination. Upon making any determination in accordance with subparagraph ( A ) that a dispute is frivolous or irrelevant, a consumer reporting agency shall notify the consumer of such determination not later than 5 business days after making such determination, by mail or, if authorized by the consumer for that purpose, by any other means available to the agency.

Again, under FCRA 617 Civil liability for negligent noncompliance [ 15 U.S.C. 1681o ] Any person who is negligent in failing to comply with any requirement imposed under this title with respect to any consumer is liable to that consumer in an amount equal to the sum of ( 1 ) any actual damages sustained by the consumer as a result of the failure; and ( 2 ) in the case of any successful action to enforce any liability under this section, the costs of the action together with reasonable attorneys fees as determined by the court.

I need your help! As a consumer, I need to correct my credit file for my credit worthiness, credit standing, or credit capacity to obtain my rights and My Financial Freedom that has been DAMAGE. List of items that are UNKNOWN to me : XXXX XXXX  XXXX Date Opened : XX/XX/2017 Balance : {$220000.00}.
