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

Complaint narrative:
Ive recently discovered several late payment notations on my credit report that are completely false, and I want to make it clear that I will not tolerate these inaccuracies being used to misjudge my financial character. These harmful entries are dragging down my credit score, affecting my access to opportunities, and putting unnecessary strain on my mental and emotional health. Some of these alleged late payments were in fact made on time, while others may stem from clerical mistakes or internal processing delays that were never communicated to me. 

The Fair Credit Reporting Act requires that every piece of data on a consumer report be factually accurate and verifiable by original documentation. That means if these late payment entries can not be backed up with real, dated billing statements or signed agreements, they should not be reported at all. I am demanding that these entries be immediately corrected or removed, depending on what the documentation proves. If the credit reporting agencies or furnishers continue to ignore this matter, I will interpret that as a willful and deliberate violation of federal lawand respond accordingly. I deserve better, and I will fight until this is made right.

Complaint narrative:
I submitted a formal dispute letter on XX/XX/year>, to challenge several inaccurate accounts listed on my credit reports. In response, the credit reporting agencies ( TransUnion, XXXX XXXX XXXX ) marked some of these accounts as " verified. '' However, these accounts are still reporting information that is not accurate, complete, or verifiable in compliance with the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ). My report dated XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX ) from IdentityIQ shows that despite my dispute, the bureaus failed to update or remove accounts that contain inconsistent, outdated, or misleading dataviolating 15 U.S.C. 1681e ( b ), which requires credit bureaus to assure maximum possible accuracy. 

These inaccurate accounts are XXXX impacting my credit standing. The FCRA mandates that if disputed information can not be verified as accurate, it must be deleted. Instead, the bureaus are allowing unverifiable and incorrect negative information to persist on my reports. 

I am requesting the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau to compel the credit bureaus to fully investigate and either properly verify or permanently remove the disputed accounts from my file. If the data can not meet the standard of maximum possible accuracy, it must not remain on my credit report.

Complaint narrative:
Formal Complaint Against National Credit Adjusters ( NCA ) for Reporting an Unvalidated Debt and Violating Credit Laws To : Consumer Financial Protection Bureau ( CFPB ) Dear CFPB, I am filing this complaint against National Credit Adjusters ( NCA ) for reporting a collection account on my credit report that has not been legally validated, in direct violation of the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act ( FDCPA ) and the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ). 

Facts of the Case : NCA is currently reporting a collection account to one or more credit bureaus in my name. 

I have no knowledge of this debt, and I have never received proper validation of the account as required by law. 

I made a written request for debt validation, but NCA failed to provide any proof, such as a signed contract, itemized statement, or original creditor information. 

Violations : 1. FDCPA Violation 15 U.S. Code 1692g Under the FDCPA, debt collectors must provide written notice of the debt within 5 days of the first communication and, upon written request, must cease collection efforts until the debt is validated. NCA has failed to : Provide proof that the debt is valid ; Cease reporting and collection efforts during the dispute period ; Supply documentation to support their claims. 

2. FCRA Violation 15 U.S. Code 1681s-2 ( b ) NCA, as a data furnisher, has a duty to investigate disputes and only report accurate and verifiable information. By continuing to report a debt that has not been validated, NCA is furnishing information that is inaccurate and unverifiable, which violates the FCRA.

Requested Action : I am requesting that the CFPB : Investigate NCAs collection and reporting practices ; Require immediate deletion of the unvalidated account from all consumer reporting agencies ; Ensure that NCA ceases any further collection activity until they can fully validate the debt ; Hold NCA accountable for noncompliance with the FDCPA and FCRA. 

This situation has caused unnecessary harm to my credit profile, stress, and confusion over an account that has not been legally substantiated. 

I ask that you take immediate steps to enforce my rights as a consumer and protect others from similar violations. 

Thank you for your attention to this matter.

Complaint narrative:
I am formally disputing several inaccuracies currently appearing on my credit report, specifically unauthorized and inaccurate accounts and credit inquiries that I did not initiate or approve. These entries represent a violation of the Fair Credit Reporting Act, particularly 15 U.S. Code 1681i, which requires a proper reinvestigation of disputed items, and 1681e ( b ), which mandates that information reported must be accurate to the maximum extent possible. In addition, I am disputing a potentially misreported late payment. According to 15 U.S.C. 1666b, creditors must allow at least 21 days between the statement date and the payment due date before classifying a payment as late. Based on my records, this standard may not have been met, or the payment was submitted on time and inaccurately reported as delinquent.

Complaint narrative:
I am writing to dispute several unauthorized inquiries on my credit report, in accordance with my rights under the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ), specifically sections 611 ( 15 U.S.C. 1681i ), 609 ( 15 U.S.C. 1681g ), and 604 ( 15 U.S.C. 1681b ).

After reviewing my recent credit report, I have identified the following inquiries that I do not recognize or authorize : XXXX XX/XX/year>XXXX  Experian Section 611 ( 15 U.S.C. 1681i ) states that I have the right to dispute any inaccurate or incomplete information on my credit report. I request that you investigate these unauthorized inquiries and remove them from my credit report. 
Section 609 ( 15 U.S.C. 1681g ) grants me the right to access all information in my file, including the inquiries made. After reviewing this information, I firmly believe that the inquiries listed above should not be on my report.

Section 604 ( 15 U.S.C. 1681b ) defines the permissible purposes for obtaining credit reports. I did not give my consent for these inquiries to be made, and I can not find a permissible purpose under this section that justifies their presence on my report.

Request I request an immediate investigation into the listed inquiries. If it is determined that these inquiries were made without my authorization or in error, I ask that they be removed from my credit report. I also request that you provide me with an updated copy of my credit report once the necessary corrections have been made. 
Enclosed is a copy of my identification to verify my identity.

Company: EQUIFAX, INC.

Complaint narrative:
I am filling this complaint under the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ) due to the willful noncompliance of the credit bureaus and data furnishers in properly investigating my disputes, as required under 15 U.S.C 1681i and 15 U.S.C. 1681s-2 ( b ). Despite my repeated submissions of disputes containing sufficient documentation to demonstrate inaccuracies, the credit bureaus have failed to conduct a reasonable reinvestigation and have continued to report incorrect information on my credit report. Furthermore the data furnishers have neglected their legal obligation to investigate the disputed information when notified by the credit bureaus. The Consumer Financial Protection Bureau filed a lawsuit against Equifax for it's failure to properly investigate consumer disputes, citing " sham investigations '' and other unlawful practices. These practices, as outlined by the CFPB, include : Conducting inadequate investigations that fail to address consumer disputes properly. Reinserting previously disputed and inaccurate information without explanation. Failing to notify customers about investigation results effectively. Please review the inaccurate information being report ; XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX

Complaint narrative:
I want to stress that I did not give written permission for these specific transactions to be included in my consumer report. At no point did I authorize these entries, and their presence on my report is unwarranted. Consequently, I am formally requesting that these accounts be blocked and removed from my report immediately. It is important to clarify that this request is not due to any error or negligence on my part. There has been no oversight or misunderstanding on my end. Instead, this issue arises solely from the fact that I did not explicitly authorize the inclusion of these transactions in my report. I am diligent about maintaining the accuracy and privacy of my financial records, and these unauthorized entries compromise that integrity. I trust that you will handle this matter with the urgency and seriousness it deserves. Please confirm the removal of these transactions from my report as soon as possible. Thank you for your prompt attention to this issue.
