Consumer complaint received 2025-03-13 00:00:00
Product: Credit reporting or other personal consumer reports — Credit reporting
Issue: Incorrect information on your report — Account status incorrect
Company: EQUIFAX, INC.
State: TX

Complaint narrative:
I am writing to formally dispute inaccurate information being reported on my consumer credit report by Equifax, and TransUnion for XXXX XXXX XXXX [ Specifically, Equifax is reporting the account as " Pays account as agreed '' with a " 30 days past due '' delinquency. Transunion is reporting " Paid account/was 30 days past due '' with a " 30-day delinquent '' status. Equifax is reporting " Paid or paying as agreed '' but does not indicate a payment status. ] These reports are inaccurate and need to be updated to reflect " Paid on time '' and " Paid as agreed '' for all accounts. These entries are inconsistent, contradictory, and inaccurate. I am requesting that the status of this account be updated to reflect " Paid on time '' or " Current, '' and the worst delinquency status be updated accordingly to ensure accuracy in reporting. Upon review, I have discovered that these entries violate the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( CRA ), particularly Section 611, which requires consumer reporting agencies to ensure the maximum possible accuracy of the information contained in consumer reports. Furthermore, the entries were reported without my written authorization, in direct violation of 15 U.S. Code 1681b ( 2 ), which mandates that consumer information can not be accessed or used without the explicit written consent of the consumer. I expect a detailed response outlining the findings of your investigation, including documentation of the original written instructions from me, with my wet signature, authorizing the reporting of this information, and an explanation of the legitimate purpose for reporting these late payments. Additionally, I request a thorough investigation into these disputed late payments as per Section 604 ( a ) ( 3 ) of the FCRA and written confirmation of the investigation 's completion, along with details of any actions taken to rectify this matter. 

Lastly, I request documentation to verify compliance with 15 U.S. Code 1666b, which mandates that periodic statements must be delivered at least 21 days before the payment due date, including the periodic statement and corresponding tracking number to confirm timely delivery. I have attached proof of the inaccuracies and highlighted them in red for your convenience. I trust that you will handle this matter promptly and in compliance with all applicable federal regulations. I look forward to receiving a response within 30 days of the date of this letter. Thank you for your attention to this matter.

Company: Portfolio Recovery Associates, LLC
State: OH

Complaint narrative:
I want to emphasize that I am fully aware of the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau ( CFPB lawsuits against XXXX and XXXX for conducting sham investigations and failing to properly investigate consumer disputes. I expect all credit reporting agencies to conduct a thorough, good faith investigation, as required by law, and to avoid engaging in any practices that mirror those outlined in the CFPB complaints. Portfolio recovery is a third-party debt collector. They have not been given any permission to report anything on my credit report. Under 15 USC 1681b : Permissible purposes of consumer reports they are reporting inaccuracies and false information since under 15 USC 1692e they are not representing XXXX XXXX  but purchased the debt and are now the owners of set debt. There has been no debt validation provided. Furthermore I officially request complete debt validation, chain of title, original creditors charge-off, date last payment made on original account, original creditors contract with original signature allowing the alleged debt to be sold without permission, and any forward flow agreement. I am also requesting a Cease and Desist on the account collections and all reporting of the account to all credit reporting agencies. The account is full of inaccuracies and misleading information and needs to be deleted immediately since this is not the first time this has been reported. As you can see with the included documents from XXXX the reporting is different from Portfolio Recovery with them which is grounds for deletion alone but with all the others FDCPA violations I am requesting immediate removal of this accout from my credit report which is reflecting negativitly on all credit reporting agencies and violating my rights. Before I take legal matters I am giving the opportunity to correct all these violations and reporting errors or simply deleting the account from my credit report. 
I trust that you will take this matter seriously and handle it in a timely and professional matter. I look forward to receiving a satisfactory resolution to all these matters.

Company: Incomm Holdings Inc.

Complaint narrative:
I called in XXXX  to ask why I could not use the card and the agent said the card was messed up and a new one would have to be issued but the balance was there. We hadnt needed the card so we waited on issuing a new one. 
I called today to have a new card issued only to find that the entire balance, to the XXXX, had been spent at a jewelry store in a completely different state. This gift card was a gift, so I dont have the receipt. The company said I have to have the receipt to dispute charges- for a gift card. Im not sure why that matters and the agent was unable to explain how someone used a card that was messed up. So, I have a messed up card that now has a XXXX balance only after I called and a new one would be sent.

Complaint narrative:
Experian has failed to fulfill its legal obligation under the fair cred responsibility act ( FCRA ) to conduct a reasonable investigation of disputed information on my credit resort leaving inaccurate or unverifiable accounts resolved. The consumer financial protection bureau has recently filed a lawsuit against Experian, alleging systemic issues such as failing to forward consumer provided evidence to furnish accepting unreliable responses and failing to adequately notify consumers of the dispute concerns. These failures align with my experience where Experian has neither corrected nor removed disputed items despite evidence i provided causing ongoing harm to my credit standing. I am requesting immediate corrective action to remove or amend the disputed accounts as Experian inaction violate federal law and my rights as a consumer.
