Product: Credit reporting or other personal consumer reports — Credit reporting
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  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:
The current ability to freeze and temporarily unfreeze a credit report is very cumbersome. It's hard to know which agency ( ies ) a particular lender might use, and precisely when they'll need access. Unlocking all three for arbitrary periods increases risk of abuse.

Complaint narrative:
Re : Dispute of Inaccurate Information on Credit Report XXXX XXXX XXXX  Account Dear Sir/Madam , I am writing to formally dispute inaccurate information reported by XXXX XXXX  XXXX on my credit report. Despite multiple previous disputes regarding this account, the inaccuracies remain uncorrected, demonstrating potential willful noncompliance under 15 USC 1681n. 

Details of the Disputed Account : Account Name : XXXX XXXX XXXXXXXX Discrepancies and Errors : Incorrect Reporting of Account Status : The account shows it was charged off, but there are inconsistencies in the payment history and charge-off dates that suggest inaccurate reporting. This violates the FCRA, specifically 15 USC 1681e ( b ), which requires that consumer reporting agencies maintain the maximum possible accuracy of information. 

Balance and Past Due Amounts : The balance and past due amounts are both listed as {$1000.00}. This may include erroneous fees or charges that were not properly documented or validated. This is a violation of the FCRA, under 15 USC 1681s-2 ( a ) ( 1 ) ( A ), which mandates that furnishers of information must provide accurate information. 

Repeated Disputes Ignored : Despite previous disputes, the errors have not been corrected, indicating potential willful noncompliance by the credit reporting agencies and XXXX XXXX XXXXXXXX. Under 15 USC 1681i ( a ), credit reporting agencies must reinvestigate disputes and delete any inaccurate information if they fail to validate properly. Repeated failure to correct errors can be considered willful noncompliance under 15 USC 1681n, making them liable for damages. 

Account Closure Details : The comment states the account was closed at the credit grantors request. If this is incorrect, it needs to be rectified immediately. Providing inaccurate information about account status violates 15 USC 1681s-2 ( a ) ( 1 ) ( B ). 

Payment History Inconsistencies : The payment history reflects numerous charge-offs and past-due statuses without clear updates, suggesting potential errors in the reporting timeline. This inconsistency violates the FCRA 's accuracy requirements as outlined in 15 USC 1681e ( b ). 

Failure to Receive 1099-C Form : I did not receive a 1099-C form for the charged-off debt, which is required by the IRS when a debt of {$600.00} or more is canceled. Failure to provide this form is a violation of IRS regulations and affects the accuracy of my credit report. This also violates the FCRAs requirement for accurate and complete information as per 15 USC 1681e ( b ) and 15 USC 1681s-2 ( a ).
