Product: Credit reporting or other personal consumer reports — Credit reporting
Issue: Incorrect information on your report — Account information incorrect
Company: EQUIFAX, INC.
State: FL

Complaint narrative:
I have been a XXXX customer over almost 2 decades and have NEVER paid my credit card late. Last year in XX/XX/XXXXXXXX  I made a purchase and thought I had made the payment immediately after on the website. For whatever reason the payment did not go through and i was completely unaware. Despite updating my email address years earlier, alerts of this bill ( I think it was something like {$100.00} ) was sent to an OLD email address. There was also an issue with my online account, apparently there were two accounts and the old and new had not merged. Nevertheless, the amount was not showing up. I was also in the middle of a high conflict divorce involving XXXX  XXXX and my ex husband had stolen mail from my mailboz and then forwarded all of my/our mail to another address so I did not get any of my mail for months. I was also dealing with health issues in addition to the high level of stress. When I was finally able to start receiving my mail it again, it was now past the XX/XX/XXXX due date and I was completely horrified since I knew good credit would be vital for me to finaicially survive this divorce. I called, emailed and chatted with XXXX reps until my face was blue but they refused to hear me and reported it to the credit bureaus, ruining my credit. I disputed it with the credit bureaus and XXXX took it off but the other 2 left it on. It is literally the ONLY negative item on my credit. Months later I am now divorced and trying to qualify for a loan and this is literally the ONLY negative item that is preventing approval. I called again today ( XX/XX/XXXX ) and explained the situation, urging them to see that I have never, before or after this event been late on any payments but they refused again to remove it. That is was an error on thier websites end followed by unfortunate circumstances tha prevented me from getting mail. It is unfair and false to say that I was just 60 days late, I have always paid on time and had every intention of doing so. I am sure thier electronic records show an attempted payment the same day I made the purchase and have no idea why it didnt go through or why my email did not update despite me tryign to update it many times ( there was a prompt when I signed in and I guess every time it failed to update ). I need this 60 day late item taken off of my account ASAP ... my entire life is literally on hold because of this issue.

State: CA

Complaint narrative:
The information provided during this dispute process was thought to be accurate, under the assumption that your bureau was diligently reporting the theft of my identity. However, it has come to my attention that you are erroneously reporting the fraudulent accounts on the credit report of the victim, perpetuating the damage caused by the identity theft. I was the victim and XXXXm not sure why the CRA is not complying with the law. The other bureaus have followed suit. Im very confused why this one seems to ignore my requests. Furthermore, I would like to bring to your attention that other credit bureaus were able to confirm the fraudulent nature of these accounts and successfully completed their investigation by removing the fraudulent entries. The stark contrast in the resolution processes among bureaus raises serious concerns about the credibility and reliability of your bureau 's investigation procedures. 
XXXX  XXXX XXXX XXXXPLEASE DELETE!!! XXXX and XXXX have already removed this account from their records. There was an error present & they were able to find it. I'm confused how you've verified it while the other bureaus have removed. Please delete this from my file. It is inaccurate, erroneous, incomplete or unverifiable.

I demand an immediate and thorough reevaluation of this dispute, with a focus on conducting a valid verification process in compliance with the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ). It is imperative that you correct the inaccuracies on my credit report and provide written confirmation of the resolution at the earliest. The continued refusal to rectify this situation is not only a violation of my rights as a consumer under the FCRA but also an egregious oversight that perpetuates the damage caused by identity theft. I insist on your urgent attention to this matter and expect a resolution that reflects the severity of the situation.

Complaint narrative:
Hello, I applied for a potential loan mortgage through my bank to see what options I had. In order to do this they had to run a credit check. After the credit check I found out Trans Union Llc shared my information with third parties without my consent or providing me any type of opt out notice. This was not my banks fault but Trans Union not adhering to compliance regulations. I have submitted a complaint to the XXXX  which got me on the opt out list but it is too late. I have been receiving upwards of 60 phone calls a day from multiple lenders along with unsolicited text messages as well. If my research is correct Trans Union is in violation of CAN SPAM regulations. These unsolicited calls and text have caused distractions from my business and personal life. I want to see Trans Union held liable for these violations of compliance and regulations. With Trans Union being a credit reporting agency they should even be held to a higher standard and not share consumers information with any third party without proper consent from the business in which the consumer is using.

Complaint narrative:
Purchased {$500.00} Arizona Mastercard Gift Card instore from XXXX 's store located in AZ state on XXXX The gift card is supposed to be activated right after the purchase. 
The gift card was issued by U.S. Bank National Association. 

When I tried to use the gift card it didn't work and also balance inquiry also not worked when checked online using URL XXXX 

I contacted customer care using the number XXXX listed on back of the card. I was informed the card was inactivated due to fraud checks and asked to fax receipt, front and back of the gift card and Driver license to fax XXXX XXXX XXXX. 

I faxed all the relevant documents on XX/XX/2023. When I contacted customer service about replacement card, they replied they received the fax, but DL ID is not readable and asked to refax all the documents again. 

I did refax all the documents again on XX/XX/2023 and again contacted the replacement card and I got the same response, fax was received but DL was not readable. 
I suspect some sort of fraud by the bank and is trying to deny providing the replacement card saying documents are not clear. 

I already spent considerable amount for sending the Fax multiple times and I suspect they will provide the same reason and not willing to share the fax they received saying security concerns and not saying what is wrong and reiterating to fax again.

I immediately canceled with XXXX But was told that even though my son was diagnosed with XXXX XXXX, they would not issue me a refund because I did not give them a 24hr notice.

I submitted the dispute to Bank of America, on XX/XX/XXXX The bank sent me a questioner to complete and return to them no later then XX/XX/2023. I complied with the request. The letter they sent to me said the merchant would have 60 days to respond. I NEVER heard back from bank of America.

Bank of America NEVER reached out to me and NEVER sent me a notice stating they were going to take away the temporary credit. Bank of America Does NOT protect it's consumers and is in cahoots with these 1 star and fraudulent companies.
