Issue: Improper use of your report — Reporting company used your report improperly
Company: EQUIFAX, INC.
State: IL

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. 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:
Re : Removal of Unauthorized Hard Inquiries and Mandatory Address Correction To Whom It May Concern, I am submitting this formal dispute to challenge unauthorized and unverified hard inquiries reporting on my credit file, as well as your continued failure to update my correct address despite multiple submissions of valid identification and proof of residency. These actions violate multiple provisions of the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ).

Under FCRA 604 ( a ) ( 2 ) and 604 ( a ) ( 3 ), no entity may access my consumer report without explicit, verifiable authorization. None of the companies responsible for the inquiries listed have provided signed applications, E-Sign compliant consent, IP logs, timestamps, or any legally acceptable documentation proving permissible purpose. Therefore, these inquiries are unlawful and must be deleted. 
The following categories of unauthorized inquiries must be removed : Auto lenders and dealerships using shotgun credit pulls Credit card issuers lacking signed or digital authorization Business-purpose inquiries improperly reported on personal credit Additionally, the only correct address that should appear on my credit file is : XXXX XXXX XXXX, XXXX XXXX, XXXXXXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX 
Under FCRA 609 ( a ) ( 1 ), 611 ( a ) ( 1 ), and 611 ( a ) ( 5 ) ( A ), you are required to correct inaccurate identifying information and remove unverifiable or incorrect addresses. I have already provided valid documents confirming my identity and residence, yet incorrect addresses remain, which is a direct violation of the FCRA

Complaint narrative:
This CFPB complaint has been filed to request pursuant to FCRA 605B ( 15 U.S.C. 1681c-2 ) that you -- credit reporting agency, block information appearing on my consumer credit report that is the result of identity theft and fraud within 4 business days of you receiving this complaint. I am concerned about the validity and accuracy of your recent investigation of these accounts that are reporting on my credit report. Last month I requested an investigation because I felt the item was not being reported legally. Couple of days ago I received a letter stating that youhave ceased investigation of my credit reports because, in your opinion, you believe that I have used a third party credit repair agency. Not only do I believe this to be a stall tactic on your part to grant you an additional 30 days to comply with my original request, but I believe it to be a blatant violation of the FCRA.

I have attached a copy of my government issued ID as well as mail showing proof of address. So, there shouldnt be any confusion or stall tactics on your end.

Immediate removal of the disputed {$1300.00} balance from my account if Barclays is unable to provide the required documentation ; 4.

Please provide the requested documentation in writing to the address listed above. I expect a response within the legally required time frame.

Thank you for your attention to this matter.
