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

Complaint narrative:
Nothing happened because I can not contact either EQUIFAX or XXXX via their internet or phone systems. This is irritating beyond belief which is why I am complaining. 

I am XXXX XXXX XXXX and over the years bought several cars, 2 condos, had a few credit cards and paid them all on time. At 1 point in history my credit score was high XXXX (? ). 

So fine. I saw news articles about " freezing '' credit and I was able to do this successfully at all 3 bureaus eqifax, experian & transunion. I did this 5-10 years ago (? ) and lost whatever passwords and pins needed to communicate with equifax experian & transunion because I was never planning to buy anything big again.

I was able to successfully communicate with XXXX and temporarily lift my credit freeze. I was able to successfully communicate my identification information to XXXX and successfully access my account there.

I had a minor car accident and drove over some yellow ridges in center of road. This bump destroyed the transmission on my car and the dealer wants {$8500.00} to fix. Nope the car is only worth {$7000.00} used. So now I need a new car and the car dealers can not access my credit lines because EQUIFAX and XXXX have my accounts frozen and I can not communicate with these people anyway I have tried both internet and phone calls repeatedly.

I have a " Fidelity Investment '' credit card serviced by Elan Financial Services that is paid automatically from a Fidelity Investment checking account. 

On XX/XX/XXXX my automatic payment was refused by Fidelity Investment for insufficient fund ( due to an internal error from Fidelity ).

Elan Financial is now charging me a return fee, interest and will report a late payment on my credit report.

Complaint narrative:
My account with EXPERIAN 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.

EXPERIAN 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!

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 XXXXXXXX XXXX  account [ 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.

Complaint narrative:
I was issued a Total and Permanent Discharge by the Department of Education on XX/XX/year>. When trying to get the 3 credit bureaus to remove from credit report, they are constantly informed the information is correctly stated. When the Loan agencies are called, they pass me around from company to company. XXXX, XXXX, Texas Educational Loans etc. All informing me that I have no loans in my name. However, they can not remove me from the report since it is reported as different amounts and lenders than on my TPD form and the loan is listed as consolidated. I can not get any information on separating the spousal consolidation, only I must get on the Education website and apply. No form exists, no-one will assist. The loan is forgiven, yet still shows under my credit reports. Because I am retired with limited income, I can not get a loan anywhere.
