Company: EQUIFAX, INC.
State: WA

Complaint narrative:
EquifaxXXXX  is deliberately displaying false account status information about XXXX XXXX against me on its website in an attempt to force me to pay monthly for a premium subscription which would then allow me to view credit reporting details in real time. They continue to report ONLINE the account status is CLOSED when they know its OPEN. My credit report shows the status is XXXX however a free membership account reporting online is deliberately FALSE. The merchant XXXX XXXX has notified Equifax in writing that the Account Status is OPEN after I redeemed my XXXX XXXX in XX/XX/year>! More than one year later This violation of the FCRA still stands online and is also being displayed by XXXX XXXX and on the Equifax.XXXX website! After several phone calls and letters to Equifax, I have demanded that they fix their website where I am able to view in real time my correct account status for this loan provider. Equifax has refused to make the technical fixes to repair its website and therefore my credit score is significantly lower with Equifax which is a violation of the law. Equifax continues to violate my right to view current details on the XXXX XXXX Account and is deliberately diminishing my credit score as a result. Details provided by phone do not match details being displayed ONLINE about this account. In fact, it contradicts what is printed on my credit report, but Equifax refuses to fix the website because I do not pay for a premium monthly subscription!! I will show pics of this error which shows a comparison of XXXX report against Equifax and how the same account does not match and will demand that Equifax fix their website and my account status being displayed on it immediately. I also demand that they increase my credit score once the correction is made because I have the exact same accounts listed on all three credit bureaus, so that when I log in with my free membership, I am able to see accurate account status for XXXX XXXX.

Complaint narrative:
15 U.S.C. 1681s-2 ( a ) ( 7 ) : This section requires that any financial institution that extends credit and regularly furnishes information to a credit reporting agency must notify the consumer within 30 days if it has furnished negative information to a credit reporting agency about the consumer. This notice must be clear and conspicuous. 

Failing to provide this notice could be seen as non-compliance with this specific section of the FCRA. I believe this requirement has been violated for 7 years. 

Account Name : XXXX XXXX XXXX Account Number : XXXX Date Opened : XX/XX/2017 Has NEVER notified me letting me know theyve furnished negative information to EQUIFAX AND XXXX. Which lets me know that both EQUIFAX AND XXXX have LIED about doing a proper accurate investigation. XXXX and Equifax continue to violate my rights by going according to what XXXX XXXX is telling them and allowing them to report inaccurately while violating my rights. I would like to pursue legal actions because I am denied credit, loans and I am now homeless. 

As well, the late payments for this account is well over 180 days, its actually 7 years of NO PAYMENTS. This vehicle was given back to CREDIT ACCEPTANCE back in XXXX  and they have records of this. So again, everyone is violating my rights and causing me damages
