Product: Credit reporting or other personal consumer reports — Credit reporting
Issue: Incorrect information on your report — Personal information incorrect
Company: EQUIFAX, INC.
State: NC

Complaint narrative:
I have already sent multiple letters to XXXX, XXXX, and Equifax requesting the removal of old, outdated, and incorrect information from my credit reports. However, none of these credit bureaus have responded to my requests or taken any action to rectify the errors. 

The inaccurate information in my credit reports could have severe consequences if a potential employer or bank were to review them. Despite providing evidence of the errors and requesting prompt deletion, the credit bureaus have failed to comply with my requests. 

It is frustrating and concerning that XXXX, XXXX, and Equifax have neglected to address these issues, putting my financial reputation at risk. I demand immediate action to correct the inaccuracies and ensure that my credit reports reflect only accurate and up-to-date information.

Best Regards, XXXX XXXX UCC 3-305 The absence of verification from the landlord or property management company constitutes a valid defense against the alleged debt or eviction, as there is no authenticated evidence provided to substantiate the claim.

Given that no adequate response was provided, this failure indicates that the presentment is dishonored, rendering the eviction claim unenforceable.

Complaint narrative:
My husband died on XXXX XXXX XXXX. I am his first and only wife and I am listed on the deed and the mortgage as his wife. Every time New Rez sends me documents, they address the correspondence to the XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX instead of to me. This has caused problems with home owners insurance and also with just the reminder of seeing his name on documents causes me extreme grief and misery. I have reached out several times to ask them to address the documents to me and they always ask for a will. My husband did not have a will and I have been told that I do not need to go through probate since my name is already on the deed and mortgage. Can someone from New Rez please contact me to let me know how I can assume this mortgage in a simple and easy way. My ability to pay can be seen in my mortgage payment history and I understand that I am protected by the Garn St. Germain Act. Furthermore, I would like to add my daughter to the account as well without refinancing so that she does not have any issues if something were to happen to me in the future. Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.

Complaint narrative:
My account with 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 in 60 days to be removed.

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.

( CREDITOR NAME ) 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!

Delete the late payments from my consumer reports 8

Complaint narrative:
Dear Consumer Financial Protection Bureau, I am writing to formally file a complaint against a collection agency that has placed a collection on my consumer report without adhering to the legal requirements outlined in federal law. Below are the specific violations I believe have occurred : 1. Failure to Provide Validation Information ( 12 CFR 1006.34 ( b ) ( 5 ) ) : The collection agency has not provided the necessary validation information as required under 12 CFR 1006.34 ( b ) ( 5 ). Despite this, they have reported a collection account on my consumer report, which is unlawful without proper validation.

2. Lack of Opportunity to Dispute ( 12 CFR 1006.34 ( c ) ( 4 ) ( i ) ) : I have not been given the opportunity to dispute the account according to 12 CFR 1006.34 ( c ) ( 4 ) ( i ). This failure to provide me with the ability to contest the validity of the debt before reporting it is a clear violation of my consumer rights.

3. Misleading and Deceptive Practices : The collection agency has employed false, misleading, and deceptive means in their attempts to collect the debt. This is a violation of federal law, which prohibits such practices when interacting with consumers.

4. Unauthorized Reporting to Consumer Reporting Agencies ( 12 CFR 1006.34 ( d ) and 15 USC 1681-S2 ( 7 ) ( A ) ) : The collection agency has no authority to furnish any account information to consumer reporting agencies without first providing all required disclosures. Their actions are in clear violation of 12 CFR 1006.34 ( d ) and 15 USC 1681-S2 ( 7 ) ( A ), which mandate specific procedures and disclosures before a debt can be reported to credit bureaus.

I request that the CFPB investigate these violations and take appropriate action to ensure that my consumer rights are protected. I also seek the removal of the erroneous collection account from my consumer report and any other remedy deemed necessary to rectify this situation.

Thank you for your attention to this matter. I look forward to your prompt response and resolution.
