Issue: Incorrect information on your report — Personal information incorrect
Company: EQUIFAX, INC.
State: FL

Complaint narrative:
I am writing to express my deep concern regarding the unavailability of my credit data from your bureau. As a diligent consumer who consistently monitors their credit profile, I am troubled by the recent discovery that vital information seems to be missing from your records. Despite being proactive in managing my finances and ensuring timely payments on all accounts, I have encountered significant hurdles due to the absence of my credit data from your bureau. This has not only caused inconvenience but has also put me in a precarious position, especially concerning recent financial transactions and loan applications. I have made numerous attempts to address this issue through your customer service channels, but regrettably, the resolution process has been slow and ineffective. As a result, I find myself facing unnecessary challenges in accessing essential financial services and opportunities.

Complaint narrative:
I am filing this complaint due to inaccurate and unverifiable information reported on my credit file by [ Insert Name of Credit Reporting Agency or Furnisher ]. Despite my efforts to dispute these inaccuracies, they have failed to comply with their obligations under the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ).

Specifically : Failure to Ensure Maximum Possible Accuracy : Under 15 U.S.C. 1681e ( b ), consumer reporting agencies are required to follow reasonable procedures to ensure the accuracy of consumer reports. However, several items in my credit report are inaccurate and do not meet this standard.

Failure to Investigate Disputed Information : As outlined in 15 U.S.C. 1681i ( a ) ( 5 ), the credit reporting agency has not properly investigated the items I disputed. If information can not be verified or is found to be inaccurate, it must be promptly corrected or removed, which has not occurred.

Violation of Furnisher Obligations : Under 15 U.S.C. 623 ( b ) ( 1 ), furnishers are required to investigate disputes and validate the accuracy of the information they provide. The furnisher has either failed to validate or did not respond adequately, yet the disputed information remains on my report. 

Additionally, I am a victim of XXXX XXXX  and identity theft, which has contributed to these inaccuracies. The persistence of this information on my credit file is causing significant harm to my financial standing and well-being. 

I am requesting that the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau ( CFPB ) investigate these violations and take action to enforce compliance with federal laws. I also seek the immediate removal of the inaccurate and unverifiable items listed in my disputes. 

The following account is not mine : XXXX XXXX ( Original Creditor : XXXXXXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX )

It would mean a lot to me if you could assist in removing the following from my credit report. Please see the attached file for what I am complaining about and take immediate actions.

Complaint narrative:
I have been searching for a kitten for some time and recently came across this website which seemed very legit, and I submitted an inquiry. They reached out to me and we started communicating via email. The website entailed the full details of their contact information including phone number, home address, email & description of how they perform business. Unfortunately, despite being a very sane and cautious person, I fell victim to the fraud. I sent them money via XXXX, and they sent me information to reserve and register the kitten for delivery to my address in XXXX, IL. 

Soon after they received the money, their attitude changed drastically. I did sense that but thought maybe I am just too doubtful. They gave us a time, & day, & the kitten never arrived and we never heard from them again. We did find online later that they had been scamming people. 

I don't know if the real homeowners even know that their address is being used for malignant reasons. Alternatively, the culprits may be residing in the same address ( I doubt so ). I did file a complaint against the website on the FBI website. Its my hard earned money and I'd want it bank. 

I appreciate your valuable time and consideration. 

Here is the website and the pertinent information regarding the scammers.

Complaint narrative:
I bought a computer on a Best Buy credit card back in 2020 and paid it off in a few months. About twice a year I would have unknown charges. I would dispute them, but pay them anyone and ask that the card be closed and I was told it was closed. This happened several times ( including this time ). The last time ( prior to today ) that I paid an unknown amount- I was led to believe it was the total amount due on the card. I was told the account would be closed. In XXXX I received another bill ( this time for {$100.00}. I spend several hours on the phone trying to dispute this and asked them again to close the card. It was not done and they reported the failure to pay to the credit bureau which dropped my score fro XXXX to XXXX. I attempted to remedy this situation by talking to 10 different people. Every time I got transferred to the people who could supposedly help their audio did not work 100 % of the time. I finally paid the total amount due. When I got my credit report -- it showed that they dropped my credit limit but that the account was still open despite instructing them to close it multiple times. I wold like to dispute this on my credit report.

Complaint narrative:
XX/XX/year> Dear Consumer Financial Protection Bureau, I am writing to express my extreme frustration with the persistent inaccuracies on my credit report, specifically regarding the XXXX  account with the account number XXXX. Despite multiple attempts to resolve this issue with XXXX and Equifax, the problem remains unresolved. 

The XXXX  account, which was closed on XX/XX/year>, is still being reported as open and negatively impacting my credit score. This is the fifth attempt to address this issue, and the lack of resolution is both frustrating and unacceptable. 

By continuing to report inaccurate information, XXXX and Equifax are violating the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ). This federal law requires credit bureaus to provide accurate and timely information about consumers ' credit history. I urge the CFPB to investigate this matter and take appropriate action to hold these credit bureaus accountable for their repeated violations of the FCRA. 

It is evident that XXXX and Equifax are either incapable or unwilling to correct this error. Their negligence has caused significant financial harm and emotional distress. I believe it is imperative that these credit bureaus are held accountable for their actions. 

Recent reports have highlighted the CFPBs shortcomings in addressing consumer complaints. I hope that by filing this complaint, I can contribute to a larger effort to hold these institutions accountable and ensure that consumers rights are protected. 

I urge the CFPB to investigate this matter thoroughly and take appropriate action to compel XXXX and Equifax to correct the inaccuracies on my credit report. 

Thank you for your time and attention to this urgent matter. 

Sincerely, XXXX XXXX
