Company: EQUIFAX, INC.
State: NY

Complaint narrative:
I am updating a late payment that is currently being reported on my credit report as " open '' or unresolved. This entry is inaccurate and misleading. I have either already resolved the payment, or I was never late as claimed. The continued reporting of this item as open and delinquent is a violation of the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ), particularly 15 U.S.C. 1681e ( b ), which requires consumer reporting agencies to maintain maximum possible accuracy of the information they report. 

This misreporting has negatively impacted my credit score and may hinder my ability to obtain credit or employment. I am requesting an immediate investigation into this matter, as well as a correction or deletion of the inaccurate late payment record if it can not be verified.

Issue: Repossession — Notice to repossess
Company: Southern Auto Finance Co
State: FL

Complaint narrative:
I am not satisfied with SAFCOs response and request further investigation by the CFPB. 

While SAFCO provided a breakdown of the alleged deficiency balance dated XX/XX/year>2025, there are multiple issues that make the reporting and collection efforts inaccurate under the Fair Credit Reporting Act and UCC Article 9 : 1. The vehicle was sold for {$8300.00}, but no proof of fair market value, auction process, or competitive sale was provided. Without this, the deficiency calculation lacks transparency.

2. SAFCO added repossession and legal fees ( {$860.00} and {$500.00} ), but did not provide any invoices or receipts proving those charges.

3. The original balance of {$13000.00} was not broken down into principal, interest, and penalties. This makes the total unverifiable.

4. The charge-off was already reported to the credit bureaus before this calculation was even sent. That timing is irregular and likely violates proper debt validation procedures.

I request that this account be either : Properly validated with proof of auction sale, fee justification, and original contract terms ; Or removed entirely from all credit reporting agencies due to insufficient documentation.

SAFCO has failed to prove full compliance with consumer notice and reporting regulations.
