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: MA

Complaint narrative:
I am disputing a debt with XXXX XXXX XXXX ( XXXX ) regarding an account allegedly purchased from XXXX XXXX in XXXX. My primary concern is that the debt validation provided by XXXX lacks sufficient detail and fails to address key questions about its accuracy. The records they provided do not adequately demonstrate a legitimate transfer of the debt, nor do they clearly show how the amount owed was calculated. This lack of transparency has made it difficult to trust the validity of the claim. 

Additionally, XXXX  initial notification process was flawed. They claim to have sent me a letter in XX/XX/year>, but I never received it. This has created confusion and prevented me from disputing the debt within the initial timeline, which I believe XXXX have adversely impacted my rights and credit standing. As a result, this unresolved debt has been reported to credit agencies, causing significant harm to my credit score and overall financial well-being. 

Another major issue has been the inconsistency in reporting. All three major credit XXXX, Equifax, and XXXX previously deleted this item from my credit report, only to re-add it later. This repeated re-adding has caused considerable damage to my credit score, created additional stress, and made it difficult to trust the accuracy of XXXX  claim. This action by the credit bureaus, presumably based on information provided by XXXX, raises further questions about the validity and handling of this debt. 

I am asking XXXX to provide more thorough documentation, including the accounts history of charges and payments, and to verify the precise legal ownership of the debt. I also request that XXXX cease all reporting to credit bureaus until these issues are fully addressed, as their current documentation is insufficient and has not answered my concerns. I believe a fair resolution would include a clear and transparent accounting of this debt, along with the removal of any inaccurate information impacting my credit.

Product: Credit card — General-purpose credit card or charge card
Issue: Trouble using your card — Can't use card to make purchases
Company: DISCOVER BANK
State: LA

Complaint narrative:
I made a payment equivalent to half of the credit limit and have been unable to use my card. I called Discover regarding the trouble using my credit card and was informed that they needed me to give them access to my tax filing information through a credit reporting agency. I informed them that I have never heard of such a thing from a credit card company. They informed me that if I didn't give them access to my tax records, then, they are going to close my credit card. Since, the account is not closed, but, I can not use the card for anything. They are still sending statements requiring payment, however, I am not able to use the credit card. This was not required to open the account and it has put me in a financial hardship.

Complaint narrative:
My name is XXXX XXXX, a federally protected consumer, and I am making this complaint against LVNV Funding LLC and for committing identity theft. I have never given LVNV Funding LLC any permission to use any of my identifying information to commit mail fraud by contacting me about an alleged debt they claim I owe. I am aware that in accordance with Article 9, the assignment of a defaulted note is illegal. Both the assignee and the assigned are both liable for violations under 15 U.S. Code 1692e ( 12 ). I have never received any documentation requesting validation therefor LVNV Funding LLC committed multiple violations under the FCRA and the FDCPA by furnishing this alleged debt to my consumer report including but not limited to 15 U.S. Code 1692d ( 4 ) which the FTC defines as debt parking. If LVNV Funding LLC can not provide me with proof such as a signed agreement between me and LVNV Funding LLC giving them permission to work with me regarding any debt they believe that I owe or tracking number that they attempted to lawfully validate this alleged debt with me, the consumer, prior to furnishing it on my consumer report, this has been a fraudulently furnished account with forethought and malice as an attempt to bring harm to me and my financial reputation. I am legally refusing to pay this debt pursuant to 1692c ( c ). I am demanding a cease and desist of all illegal activity, any communication and collection activity, of this and any alleged debts until LVNV Funding LLC can provide me with sufficient documentary evidence that I have any legal obligation to pay them. If this documentary evidence can not be produced and LVNV Funding LLC continues its collection efforts, I will file for litigation for actual damages caused and LVNV Funding LLC will be held criminally liable for aggravated identity theft pursuant to 18 USC 1028A, extortion, theft by deception, securities fraud, and mail fraud. Upon the receipt of the documents herein and of this notice, you are hereby notified Pursuant UCC 1-202f. Your prompt attention and response are both requested and required.

XX/XX/XXXX Subject : Complaint Regarding Inaccurate Late Payment Entry on Credit Report. 

Dear CFPB, I am filing a formal complaint against Equifax for failing to correct inaccurate information regarding late payments reported on my credit report for the account XXXX with XXXX XXXX Despite multiple requests for correction ( letters dated XX/XX/XXXX and XX/XX/XXXX ), my requests have been ignored, violating both the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ) and the Truth in Lending Act ( TILA ). 
FCRA Violations According to 15 U.S. Code 1666b, creditors are required to send periodic statements at least 21 days before the payment due date. The inaccurate late payment reporting on my account suggests a failure to comply with this requirement. Additionally, 15 U.S. Code 1681i mandates that credit reporting agencies ensure the accuracy of information in consumer files, which has not been upheld in my case.

TILA Violations The Truth in Lending Act ( TILA ) emphasizes the necessity for accurate and timely disclosures to consumers. The inaccurate reporting of late payments has caused undue harm to my creditworthiness and negatively impacted my credit score, violating these provisions.

Protection Against Non-Payment of Obligations Act ( PAANL ) This act reinforces the responsibility of creditors to provide timely statements, preventing unfair penalties to consumers. The late payment reporting errors in my case suggest that this obligation was not met. 
New Evidence of Error Equifax : The account inaccurately reports a 30-day late payment in XX/XX/XXXX and a 60-day late payment in XX/XX/XXXX, even though all payments were made on time. 
Pattern of Inaccuracies The continued reporting of late payments across XXXX, XXXX, and Equifax shows a persistent pattern of errors. These late payments have been inaccu

rately reported despite my account being on autopay and having no missed payments. Request for Immediate Correction I am formally requesting that the inaccurate late payment notations be removed from my credit report immediately. The entries must be updated to reflect my true payment history, which is 100 % on tim
e. Should this issue remain unresolved, I will escalate my complaint further, including pursuing legal action and filing additional complaints with relevant regulatory agencies to protect my consumer rights. 
Thank you for your immediate attention to this matter. I look forward to receiving written confirmation of the removal of these inaccurate entries within 30 days. 
Sincerely, XXXX XXXX XXXX
