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

Complaint narrative:
Equifaxs repeated failure to address my disputes with care and thoroughness is now more than just negligenceit has become a pattern, one that echoes the same serious concerns the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau has already investigated. I will not allow my credit file to remain stained by errors that Equifax has failed to verify or remove, especially when that failure comes at a direct cost to my well-being and future. You have an obligation to treat consumer disputes seriously, and yet it feels as though my concerns have been dismissed entirely.

According to 15 U.S.C. 1681i, Equifax is legally required to reinvestigate all disputed items within 30 days, and to delete any information that can not be fully and independently verified. That means verifiable proofnot assumptions, not recycled data from unreliable sources. Furthermore, under 15 U.S.C. 1681 ( a ) ( 5 ), any information found to be incomplete, inaccurate, or unverifiable must be corrected or removed entirely. I am demanding immediate corrective action, not another automated response. If you fail to do your job now, I will escalate this matter through every available channel. You are not just mishandling datayou are mishandling lives.

Company: JPMORGAN CHASE & CO.
State: NY

Complaint narrative:
In 2019, a subscription charge was approved on a Chase credit card that had already expired. I had not activated the replacement card and was unaware that Chase had allowed charges to go through. Since I had assumed the account was inactive, I did not monitor it, and a small unpaid balance accumulated. 

Chase later reported this as a 30-day late payment, which negatively impacted my credit report. I contacted Chase at the time and disputed the charge, as I did not authorize any activity on the expired card. However, they did not reverse the late mark, and shortly afterward, the account was closed, and I was placed on a Chase internal blacklist. 

This account was not neglected intentionally it was the result of Chases unusual decision to approve a charge on an expired, inactive card. I am requesting that this late payment be removed from my credit report due to the circumstances and the fact that I acted in good faith and disputed the charge when I discovered it. 

Please help correct this reporting error so I can repair the impact its had on my credit.

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 my privacy with my consumer report, since I control what is listed and what is not. In the event that any accounts are reported without my written consent, that is considered identity theft.

This is a violation of both 15 U.S. Code 1681b ( 2 ) and 15 U.S. Code 1681c-2. This leads way to civil liability against the credit reporting agency for negligent and willful noncompliance under 15 U.S. Code 1681n, which allows for {$1000.00} per violation, for account listed without my expressed written consent.

Complaint narrative:
To Whom It XXXX Concern, This letter serves as a formal dispute under the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ), XXXX XXXX. XXXX, regarding a late payment inaccurately reported on my Citi Bank crXXXX XXXX  account to XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX for the month of XX/XX/year>. 

On XX/XX/year>, I submitted a written dispute to Citi Bank contesting this error. This account is relatively new, and I have consistently made my monthly payments online in good faith. However, I have experienced repeated technical issues with Citis payment portalspecifically, a persistent syncing error that prevents the payment from processing properly despite multiple attempts. 

I relied on XXXX online payment system in good faith and expected it to function reliably. When I noticed the late mark, I contacted Citi Bank through my authorized agent, whose XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX  was submitted along with the initial dispute. Despite his repeated attempts to resolve the issue, Citi Bank failed to provide a resolution and offered only inconsistent responses. 

On XX/XX/year>, I participated in a XXXX  call with my XXXX and a Citi Bank XXXX XXXX  to address the matter directly. During this call, the XXXX acknowledged other methods for making payments but made no effort to address the flaws in the online system or take responsibility for the system failure. Furthermore, we were instructed to fax another dispute to a different department, even though my original dispute and XXXX remain on file with Citi. 

This lack of accountability and the flawed handling of my dispute have caused a XXXX impact on XXXX XXXX XXXX which may now affect current and future financial opportunities, including investment-related financing. The reported late payment for XX/XX/year> is inaccurate, and the circumstances clearly demonstrate that I acted in good faith and made every effort to pay on time using XXXX designated platform.

Complaint narrative:
Ive recently discovered several late payment notations on my credit report that are completely false, and I want to make it clear that I will not tolerate these inaccuracies being used to misjudge my financial character. These harmful entries are dragging down my credit score, affecting my access to opportunities, and putting unnecessary strain on my mental and emotional health. Some of these alleged late payments were in fact made on time, while others may stem from clerical mistakes or internal processing delays that were never communicated to me.

The Fair Credit Reporting Act requires that every piece of data on a consumer report be factually accurate and verifiable by original documentation. That means if these late payment entries can not be backed up with real, dated billing statements or signed agreements, they should not be reported at all. I am demanding that these entries be immediately corrected or removed, depending on what the documentation proves. If the credit reporting agencies or furnishers continue to ignore this matter, I will interpret that as a willful and deliberate violation of federal lawand respond accordingly. I deserve better, and I will fight until this is made right.
