Consumer complaint received 2025-06-19 00:00:00
Product: Credit reporting or other personal consumer reports — Credit reporting
Issue: Incorrect information on your report — Account status incorrect
Company: EQUIFAX, INC.
State: GA

Complaint narrative:
I am writing to formally dispute inaccurate information being reported on my consumer credit report by Equifax, XXXX, and XXXX  for ( XXXX XXXX XXXX  XXXX ) ) ( Account # XXXX ) ) [ Specifically, Equifax is reporting the account as " Pays account as agreed '' with a " 30 days past due '' delinquency. XXXX  is reporting " Paid account/was 30 days past due '' with a " 30-day delinquent '' status. XXXX  is reporting " Paid or paying as agreed '' but does not indicate a payment status. ] These reports are inaccurate and need to be updated to reflect " Paid on time '' and " Paid as agreed '' for all accounts. These entries are inconsistent, contradictory, and inaccurate. I am requesting that the status of this account be updated to reflect " Paid on time '' or " Current, '' and the worst delinquency status be updated accordingly to ensure accuracy in reporting. Upon review, I have discovered that these entries violate the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( CRA ), particularly Section 611, which requires consumer reporting agencies to ensure the maximum possible accuracy of the information contained in consumer reports. Furthermore, the entries were reported without my written authorization, in direct violation of 15 U.S. Code 1681b ( 2 ), which mandates that consumer information can not be accessed or used without the explicit written consent of the consumer. I expect a detailed response outlining the findings of your investigation, including documentation of the original written instructions from me, with my wet signature, authorizing the reporting of this information, and an explanation of the legitimate purpose for reporting these late payments. Additionally, I request a thorough investigation into these disputed late payments as per Section 604 ( a ) ( 3 ) of the FCRA and written confirmation of the investigation 's completion, along with details of any actions taken to rectify this matter.

Lastly, I request documentation to verify compliance with 15 U.S. Code 1666b, which mandates that periodic statements must be delivered at least 21 days before the payment due date, including the periodic statement and corresponding tracking number to confirm timely delivery. I have attached proof of the inaccuracies and highlighted them in red for your convenience. I trust that you will handle this matter promptly and in compliance with all applicable federal regulations. I look forward to receiving a response within 30 days of the date of this letter. Thank you for your attention to this matter.

Company: DISCOVER BANK
State: NY

Complaint narrative:
I sent a letter earlier this month to discover that was ignored. Discover previously acknowledged and agreed to a cease and desist request, yet continue to report the account in a way that damages my credit profile. Under the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act ( 15 U.S.C. 1692c ( c ) ), once a written cease and desist is submitted and acknowledged, you may not communicate with the consumer further in connection with the collection of the debt. Credit bureau reporting is a form of collection communication intended to coerce payment by damaging credit, and therefore falls within the scope of what must cease under 15 U.S.C. 1692c ( c ). Please see the full letter below.

State: TN

Complaint narrative:
I am filing this complaint regarding inaccurate and unverified information appearing on my credit report under the name XXXX XXXX. I have submitted formal disputes directly to both TransUnion and Experian regarding multiple accounts reporting late payments and a collection account that I do not recognize. These accounts are harming my credit standing and appear to be either outdated, unverifiable, or inaccurately reported. 

Despite my rights under the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ), these items remain on my report without proper investigation or validation. I have not received sufficient documentation to support their continued reporting. 

Additionally, I am aware of the XXXX  CFPB enforcement actions against both TransUnion and Experian, where they were found to have violated consumer protection laws by failing to conduct reasonable investigations, reporting unverifiable data, and misleading consumers during the dispute process. My experience reflects these same issues. 

I am requesting the CFPB 's assistance to ensure that both credit bureaus comply with the FCRA, provide full documentation for all disputed accounts, and remove any items that can not be verified.

Complaint narrative:
The Fair Credit Reporting Act ( 15 U.S. Code 1681 ) says ( 1 ) The banking system is dependent upon fair and accurate credit reporting. Inaccurate credit reports directly impair the efficiency of the banking system, and unfair credit reporting methods undermine the public confidence which is essential to the continued functioning of the banking system. So whenever there is a violation under the FCRA, it impairs the efficiency of the banking system. This is a violation of TILA US Code 1666B since I was never late. " I recently reviewed my consumer report and noticed an incorrect late payment record. I have always maintained timely payments on this account. Under the Fair Credit Billing Act ( FCBA ) and the Truth in Lending Act ( TILA ), creditors are required to accurately report consumer transactions and provide a mechanism for correcting errors in a timely manner. Please conduct an investigation into this matter, and if you can not provide documentary evidence of these supposed late payments, I demand these payments to be updated to on time as they should be as I was NEVER late. I expect these updates to be made promptly, in compliance with the law.

Complaint narrative:
These entries remain unverified and questionable. Despite multiple attempts to have these inaccuracies properly investigated and resolved, no meaningful action has been taken. I have submitted all required documentation and followed up repeatedly, yet the errors persist. This ongoing lack of action has caused undue financial hardship and has significantly affected my well-being. The mental and emotional toll of dealing with these unresolved discrepancies has been overwhelming. 
Under the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ), I am entitled to a fair and accurate credit report, including the removal of unverifiable or incorrect information. I urge you to take immediate steps to verify and rectify these items, as failure to do so constitutes a violation of my rights under federal law.
