Consumer complaint received 2024-09-27 00:00:00
Product: Credit reporting or other personal consumer reports — Credit reporting
Issue: Problem with a company's investigation into an existing problem — Their investigation did not fix an error on your report
Company: EQUIFAX, INC.
State: FL

Complaint narrative:
I am writing to formally dispute inaccurate information being reported on my credit report regarding a charge-off. The account in question is listed as follows : Creditor Name : XXXX XXXX XXXX  Account Number : XXXX Date of Charge-Off : XX/XX/year> It has come to my attention that the charge-off is being reported month after month on my payment history, which is incorrect. According to the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ), negative information such as a charge-off should only be reported once, corresponding to the date it was charged off. 
The FCRA requires that credit reporting agencies ensure the accuracy of the information they report ( 15 U.S.C. 1681e ( b ) ). Repeatedly reporting the charge-off each month results in a misleading and inaccurate credit report, which has significantly harmed my credit score.

Additionally, the statute of limitations for reporting a charge-off is seven years from the date of the first delinquency that led to the charge-off ( 15 U.S.C. 1681c ( a ) ( 4 ) ). Continuously reporting this charge-off as a new event each month does not reset the statute of limitations and is improper.

I request that you promptly investigate this account and correct the inaccurate information by removing the repeated entries of the charge-off from my payment history. Please update my credit report accordingly and provide me with a confirmation of these corrections.

Issue: Took or threatened to take negative or legal action — Threatened to arrest you or take you to jail if you do not pay
Company: Eastern Account Systems of Connecticut, Inc.
State: FL

Complaint narrative:
This debt collector has engaged in practices that violate the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act ( FDCPA ). They have reported an account that I did not consent to, and there is no signed agreement from me authorizing it. A valid legal contract requires the signatures of both parties, and I was not involved in such an agreement. Furthermore, they failed to adhere to the proper 5-step validation process as mandated by the FDCPA. These actions clearly infringe upon my rights under the law, and I am entitled to compensation for these violations. I demand the immediate removal of this accountfrommyrecord.

Company: TRANSUNION INTERMEDIATE HOLDINGS, INC.
State: CA

Complaint narrative:
I am writing to formally request the removal of several unauthorized accounts and inquiries from my credit report. These accounts and inquiries are not associated with me, and I did not authorize their inclusion on my report. The presence of these inaccuracies is the result of a data breach that has adversely affected my credit standing, leading to a significant drop in my FICO score.

Upon a thorough review of my credit report, I identified multiple accounts and inquiries that I do not recognize or authorize. These inaccuracies have led to negative remarks on my credit report, which are unjustly damaging my credit score and financial reputation.

The inclusion of these unauthorized accounts and inquiries has caused considerable stress and concern regarding my financial well-being. It is imperative that my credit report accurately reflects my financial history and activities. Therefore, I request an immediate investigation into these inaccuracies and the prompt removal of all unauthorized accounts and inquiries.

Issue: Problem with fraud alerts or security freezes — 
Company: EQUIFAX, INC.
State: OH

Complaint narrative:
The freeze/unfreeze function did not work. I went to unfreeze credit in the online portal, and it said it was temporarily unfrozen. Then the creditor was still unable to pull credit. 
There was some kind of " internal block '' according to the supervisor. Because it did not work I attempted to use the portal again. after several attempts it blocked access and forced a phone call to customer service. This was an extremely long wait, with an overbearing amount of questions to verify identity. There should be a seperate line for those with technical issues with the portal. I have used these types of services with other credit bureaus and this is the worst.

Company: TRANSUNION INTERMEDIATE HOLDINGS, INC.
State: FL

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 on my XXXX XXXX  account [ XXXX ]. 
XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX 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.

State: WA

Complaint narrative:
On XX/XX/year>, I opened a checking account with US Bank in response to a promotion promising a {$500.00} reward after meeting a direct deposit requirement. I met the direct deposit requirement but have not received the promised reward. 

In response to my previous complaint, US Bank stated that my account 's promotion code is XXXX, valid only from XX/XX/year> to XX/XX/year>. They also indicated that accounts opened on XX/XX/year>, should have used the code XXXX to qualify for the reward. I have XXXX concerns that need addressing : Lack of Transparency and Verification : I have no means to verify which promo code was used when I opened my account. I request that US Bank provide a clear and accessible method for customers to verify their promotional code at the time of account opening. 

Responsibility for Expired Code Use : If, as US Bank suggests, my account was opened with the XXXX code despite being expired, it raises a significant concern about the banks operational oversight. Why was an account allowed to be opened with an expired code on XX/XX/year>? This oversight implies negligence on US Banks part, misleading customers into believing they qualified for the promotion. 

Given that I fulfilled all direct deposit requirements, I request that US Bank honor the {$500.00} reward as promised. Allowing an expired promotion code to be used is a clear failure of their internal controls and customer service obligations, and it is unfair for customers to be penalized for the bank 's errors. 

I look forward to your prompt resolution of this matter and to receiving the reward as initially promised.
