Product: Credit reporting or other personal consumer reports — Credit reporting
Issue: Improper use of your report — Credit inquiries on your report that you don't recognize
Company: EQUIFAX, INC.
State: NJ

Complaint narrative:
I did not approve these transactions to be included in my consumer report, neither in writing nor verbally. Therefore, I formally request that these accounts be blocked and removed from my record. This is not a mistake or a misrepresentation. These transactions were included without my explicit consent or instruction. 

I am stressing this to highlight the seriousness of my request. It is based on accurate information, and I am not attempting to deceive or manipulate the situation in any way. My intent is solely to ensure that my consumer report reflects only those transactions that I have authorized. I am committed to maintaining the integrity of my financial records and ensuring that they are accurate and truthful. My request is genuine and aimed at correcting an unauthorized inclusion, not at exploiting any system or misleading any party involved.

Company: EQUIFAX, INC.

Complaint narrative:
I have already sent a letter addressing the inaccuracies and unknown items on my credit report, but unfortunately, I have not received any response even after 30 days. It feels like I'm being taken advantage of and my disputes are being ignored. According to Section 611 ( a ), if these items are not investigated within 30 days, they should be promptly removed from my credit report. Since it has been over 30 days, I expect these accounts to be updated immediately. If not, I will have no choice but to pursue legal action due to the stress this situation has caused me. Additionally, my information was also affected by the Equifax, XXXX, and XXXX data breach, which raises concerns about the security of my personal data.

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

Complaint narrative:
My account with this company is being reported late and i was never late! I have had exceptional payment history with this company and 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 reported in MONTHS REPORTING LATE to be removed 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. 

This company 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! 

Delete the late payments from my consumer reports.

Issue: Incorrect information on your report — Account information incorrect
Company: Experian Information Solutions Inc.
State: GA

Complaint narrative:
I am writing to formally request the removal of several unauthorized accounts and inquiries from my credit report. These accounts and inquiries are not associated with me, and I did not authorize their inclusion on my report. The presence of these inaccuracies is the result of a data breach that has adversely affected my credit standing, leading to a significant drop in my FICO score.

Upon a thorough review of my credit report, I identified multiple accounts and inquiries that I do not recognize or authorize. These inaccuracies have led to negative remarks on my credit report, which are unjustly damaging my credit score and financial reputation. 

The inclusion of these unauthorized accounts and inquiries has caused considerable stress and concern regarding my financial well-being. It is imperative that my credit report accurately reflects my financial history and activities. Therefore, I request an immediate investigation into these inaccuracies and the prompt removal of all unauthorized accounts and inquiries.

Company: Experian Information Solutions Inc.

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.

Complaint narrative:
Re : Final Notice of Noncompliance Unauthorized Consumer Reporting, Willful Neglect, and Demand for Removal of Inaccurate Tradeline Information To Whom It May Concern : This notice is concerning the ongoing matter of your company 's willful neglect and continued noncompliance regarding the unauthorized and inaccurate reporting of my private source data to consumer reporting agencies. Despite repeated notifications and opportunities to rectify this situation, your company has failed to remedy the inaccuracy and incompleteness of the information in question. Further, your actions lack a permissible purpose under the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ), resulting in significant and continuous harm, including defamation, breach of privacy, and financial injury. 

To date, all administrative remedies have been exhausted, and your company 's failure to respond appropriately leaves me with no option but to pursue alternative measures. 

Accordingly, if the inaccurate tradeline and unauthorized information are not promptly removed from my consumer report within fifteen ( 15 ) days from the date of this notice, I will proceed as follows : Filing of IRS Form 1099-C : I will initiate the process of filing a Form 1099-C with the Internal Revenue Service ( IRS ) , requesting a discharge of any alleged debt related to the unauthorized tradeline reporting, as such debt, if any, is invalid and has caused me undue harm.

IRS Audit Request : I will also submit a demand for an audit of the relevant account to the IRS to determine the legitimacy of your company 's actions and compliance with federal regulations concerning the handling of consumer data and permissible reporting practices.

Filing of IRS Form 3949-A : A formal IRS Form 3949-A ( Information Referral ) will be submitted, highlighting potential tax law violations by your company in relation to the unauthorized use and dissemination of private source data without a permissible purpose, unjustly enriching your company at my expense. This filing will include an attached fee schedule for each documented violation. 

I remain prepared to take all necessary steps to protect my rights, including pursuing legal action for damages resulting from your continued failure to comply with applicable laws. Should I not receive immediate confirmation of the removal of the inaccurate tradeline and related information, I will proceed accordingly without further notice. 

Please consider this your final opportunity to correct this issue and avoid the aforementioned actions.

Company: JPMORGAN CHASE & CO.

Complaint narrative:
I booked a 1 day rental with Chase XXXX using my credit cards to pay for the equivalent of {$310.00} to cover the charge. The rental clearly included all fees, including the different location return fee. When I returned the car, the rental place mistakely charged me for the different city retrun fee again, in the amount of {$170.00}. I contacted the bank electronicly 3x and 1 time by phone. They decliend my claim every time, and they even told me over the phone that even though I booked the service with Chase XXXX, which belongs to Chase, and that the charge was on the same credit card which I used the points to rent the car, there was nothing they could do. You can clearly do a simulation on the Chase XXXX site, and see that one day rental at the same location, returning the same car at the same location costs USD XXXX, while doing the same returning the car on the same location that I returned the car, it costs USD XXXX, the amount that they deducted the equivalent points.

Complaint narrative:
I received several emails from myIDXXXX and Experian that my social security number was compromised/breached from XXXX XXXX XXXX 
This happened a few months ago from another agency and all my credit bureau accounts except Experian are frozen. I tried to get help from them at the time but after being sent from one agent to another they told me they would call back. Well, I forget about the incident until today 's breach. I can't login to Experian because it doesn't recognize my input but if I try to recreate the account it tells me I already have an account. This is the same unresolved issue from months ago. I'd like to access the account so I can freeze my reports but I get no love from Experian. Can someone help me? Thank you.
