Consumer complaint received 2025-09-09 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: CA

Complaint narrative:
I am updating a late payment that is currently being reported on my credit report as " open '' or unresolved. This entry is inaccurate and misleading. I have either already resolved the payment, or I was never late as claimed. The continued reporting of this item as open and delinquent is a violation of the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ), particularly 15 U.S.C. 1681e ( b ), which requires consumer reporting agencies to maintain maximum possible accuracy of the information they report.

This misreporting has negatively impacted my credit score and may hinder my ability to obtain credit or employment. I am requesting an immediate investigation into this matter, as well as a correction or deletion of the inaccurate late payment record if it can not be verified.

Complaint narrative:
I obtained a business loan from XXXX XXXX for {$350.00}. My required weekly payment is {$74.00}. I have already made XXXX payments, totaling {$440.00} which is more than the original loan amount. Despite this, XXXX XXXX claims I still owe {$370.00}. 

If true, this means I would be forced to pay {$810.00} in total for a {$350.00} loan, more than double the amount borrowed. This is predatory lending. 

XXXX XXXX never disclosed the interest rate, XXXX, or full cost of the loan, in violation of the Truth in Lending Act ( XXXX ). I have also been locked out of my account, can not view my payment history, and the company refuses to take phone calls, communicating only by text. 

I request that the CFPB investigate XXXX XXXX, require them to provide accurate disclosures, and stop collection of these unfair and excessive charges.

Complaint narrative:
This CFPB complaint has been filed to request pursuant to FCRA 605B ( 15 U.S.C. 1681c-2 ) that you -- credit reporting agency, block information appearing on my consumer credit report that is the result of identity theft and fraud within XXXX business days of you receiving this complaint. I am concerned about the validity and accuracy of your recent investigation of these accounts that are reporting on my credit report. Last month I requested an investigation because I felt the item was not being reported legally. Couple of days ago I received a letter stating that you have ceased investigation of my credit reports because, in your opinion, you believe that I have used a third party credit repair agency. Not only do I believe this to be a stall tactic on your part to XXXX you an additional 30 days to comply with my original request, but I believe it to be a blatant violation of the FCRA. 

I have attached a copy of my government issued ID as well as mail showing proof of address. So, there shouldnt be any confusion or stall tactics on your end. I have maintained a careful record of my communications with you for the purpose of filing a complaint with the FTC should you continue in your non-compliance.

This notice supplements my previously submitted Intent to Arbitrate and provides additional grounds for arbitration based on newly identified violations. 

Facts & amp ; Discrepancies Identified My last payment on the XXXX account was made on XX/XX/XXXX. 
Despite this, TransUnion is reporting : - 90 days late in XX/XX/XXXX - 120 days late in XX/XX/XXXX - 120 days late in XX/XX/XXXXXXXX  - Charge-off in XX/XX/XXXXXXXX  Reporting multiple months of 120-day delinquency after the last activity is factually impossible and represents false re-aging of the account. 

These discrepancies materially misrepresent my payment history and artificially extend the delinquency period. 
FCRA Violations FCRA 607 ( b ) Failure to follow reasonable procedures to assure maximum possible accuracy.

FCRA 623 ( a ) ( 1 ) ( A ) Furnishing information known to be inaccurate.

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 my privacy with my consumer report, since I control what is listed and what is not. In the event that any accounts are reported without my written consent, that is considered identity theft. 

This is a violation of both 15 U.S. Code 1681b ( 2 ) and 15 U.S. Code 1681c-2. This leads way to civil liability against the credit reporting agency for negligent and willful noncompliance under 15 U.S. Code 1681n, which allows for {$1000.00} per violation, for account listed without my expressed written consent.

Complaint narrative:
I was approved for a forbearance until XX/XX/XXXX for no payments. This company processed an XXXX request that took a few months and received a letter of payment starting in XX/XX/XXXX at {$53.00}, then another letter that is inconsistent with the other letter stating payment due on XX/XX/XXXX, then the last payment on XX/XX/XXXX of the same amount. Payments should have started next year once forbearance or deferment was finished and not have my dates changed after being approved. I feel that this company is a scam and ripping many people off and I have never had so many issues with a service provider until my loans were consolidated with this company, which was a huge mistake. I had requested to have my loans transferred to another loan service provider because I clearly stated several times that I am having financial difficulty paying my loans because my husband lost his job and I am the sole provider paying all our bills and mortgage. I have been sent several documentation and asked for a resolution but not receiving XXXX and instead getting stressed with inconsistent documentation that falsely shows that this company is messing with my account and refusing to work with me and the financial difficulties due to the increase of inflation and economy.

Complaint narrative:
My account with EQUIFAX XXXX  TRANSUNION was never late! I have had exceptional payment history 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 to be 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. EQUIFAX TRANSUNION Never Sent the periodic statement along with the disclosures from section 1637 ( b ). 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! Update the late payments from my consumer reports
