Issue: Incorrect information on your report — Account status incorrect
Company: EQUIFAX, INC.
State: MD

Complaint narrative:
My account with EQUIFAX XXXX XXXX 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 XXXX XXXX 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

Company: Bridgecrest Acceptance Corporation

Complaint narrative:
This company has been harassing me for this debt that I allegedly owe, ruining my credit in the process. They say I owe the debt, but provide nothing that can be considered validation of debt. They are also in violation of 15 USC 1692g, which requires appropriate validation of debt within a specified timeframe. It is not fair to continue to affect someones credit, without proper validation and justification.

State: TX

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 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 each account listed without my expressed written consent.

I looked at my consumer reports and noticed accounts I never gave anyone permission to report. Consumer reporting agencies have assumed a vital role and have a responsibility to report consumer information to the best of their ability with maximum possible accuracy like the Fair Credit Reporting Act clearly states. I did not provide written consent to report them "

Issue: Problem with a company's investigation into an existing problem — Investigation took more than 30 days
Company: Experian Information Solutions Inc.
State: NY

Complaint narrative:
I previously submitted a letter addressing the inaccuracies and unfamiliar items on my credit report. However, it has now been over 30 days, and I have not received a response. It appears my disputes are being disregarded, which raises serious concerns. Under Section 611 ( a ) of the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ), credit reporting agencies are required to investigate disputed items within 30 days. If they fail to do so, these items must be removed from my report. As more than 30 days have passed, I expect immediate updates to my credit report reflecting the removal of these disputed accounts. Should this not be addressed promptly, I will be left with no option but to pursue legal action to resolve this issue, as the continued inaction has caused significant stress. Moreover, I was affected by the XXXX, Experian, and XXXX data breaches, which heightens my concern regarding the security and handling of my personal information.

Complaint narrative:
I was a victim of a scammer that had a phone number tied to the XXXX XXXX XXXX department. They called and told me there was a warrant out for my arrest due to not appearing at court for jury duty. They told me that I needed to pay {$4200.00} bail or else they could contain me for up to XXXX hours. They did not let me off the phone until I paid the bail and told me to go to the bank to get the cash, then to a machine that I could send the bail money. I was under duress and clearly upset and had been crying, and could not even complete the withdraw slip because I was shaking so badly. The teller offered to write out my account number for me. She should have asked what the withdraw was for or asked more questions before draining my account. I withdrew {$2800.00} from that bank and another {$540.00} from an ATM. I took the cash to a gas station where I thought I would pay the bail but it was really a bitcoin machine so I lost all of the money.
