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

Complaint narrative:
To Whom It May Concern : I am submitting this complaint regarding XXXX XXXX inaccurate reporting of late payments on my credit report, despite my efforts to settle my account in full. 

On XX/XX/year>, my wife made a payment of {$320.00}. I followed up with an additional payment of {$350.00} on XX/XX/year>, to ensure the account was fully paid off. When I called XXXX XXXX, a representative confirmed that my balance was XXXX and assured me that everything was up to date. 

In the months following, I contacted XXXX XXXX an additional 3-4 times to verify my account status and was consistently informed that my balance remained clear. However, two months later, I received an unexpected invoice from XXXX XXXX stating that I owed additional funds, despite my prior payments and their repeated confirmation of a XXXX balance. 

Without any further noticeno calls, emails, or correspondenceXXXX XXXX began reporting negative information on my credit report, which has significantly damaged my credit score. I believe this balance was due to their error, as they failed to disclose any remaining balance at the time of my payments or during my follow-up calls. Had I been informed, I would have immediately resolved it to avoid this impact. 


Thank you for your attention to this matter.

Company: Mr. Cooper Group Inc.
State: TN

Complaint narrative:
Loan was transferred wot Mr Cooper on XX/XX/XXXX. The first payment is due XX/XX/XXXX. The loan numbers included on the paperwork filed regarding the transfer are not recognized by their automated system. I have been trying for weeks to get information regarding the loan and there is no way to get help. They have XXXX chat that says the loan numbers are incorrect and I give me a number to call. The number is an automated system that won't accept the loan numbers we were sent. I have never experienced a more inept financial institution. I am complaining bitterly to my home bank and warning against selling loans to Mr Cooper ever
again. But I am stuck with a loan that has XXXX customer service and will face late fees and credit issues simply because they can't answer an email or phone call.

Company: TRANSUNION INTERMEDIATE HOLDINGS, INC.
State: FL

Complaint narrative:
I recently conducted a review of my credit report and found several items that have caused me significant distress. These items appear to be unverifiable, inaccurate, and questionable. Your agency has failed to ensure the accuracy of the information as required under 15 U.S. Code 1681e ( b ) Accuracy of Reports. This statute mandates that consumer reporting agencies must follow reasonable procedures to ensure the maximum possible accuracy of the information they report.

Furthermore, under 15 U.S. Code 1681i ( 5 ) Treatment of Inaccurate or Unverifiable Information, you are required to promptly delete or modify any information found to be inaccurate, incomplete, or unverifiable during a reinvestigation. If you are unable to provide me with verifiable proof of the accuracy of the disputed items within 15 days of your investigation, these accounts and the related information must be removed from my credit report.

Additionally, under the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act ( FDCPA ), I do not recognize any of the alleged creditors or debt collectors. I have never entered into a valid contract with any of these entities, nor have I engaged in any transactions with them. As such, these accounts are fraudulent and may be the result of identity theft or other illegal activities. Attempting to enforce these fraudulent accounts is unlawful. I request that you expedite your investigation to prevent further harm, losses, or damages that I may suffer as a victim of identity theft.

Moreover, under the Fair Credit Billing Act, my right to privacy has been violated, and this breach infringes upon my rights as outlined in The Privacy Act of 1974. Removing the inaccurate and fraudulent information from my credit report will help restore my privacy and prevent further violations.

Company: Experian Information Solutions Inc.
State: CO

Complaint narrative:
My ID was stolen, and accounts were opened for an out of state utility company : XXXX XXXX. 

An adverse account charge off in the amount of {$590.00} was listed on my Experian credit report. 

I disputed the reporting on XX/XX/year>. It was denied by Experian. 
I disputed the reporting on XX/XX/year>. It is currently pending. 

I attempted to place an an Extended Fraud Alert on XX/XX/year>. I was told by XXXX of the Fraud Dept. that my FTC Identity theft report was defective for purposes of placing an Extended Fraud Alert. 

I asked how to fix the defect, and was told that it was Experian 's policy that they could not tell me why the FTC identity theft report was defective. 

It is unreasonable for Experian to deny placing an Extended Fraud Alert, or any other service for that matter, citing an allegedly defective document, while simultaneously keeping the reason the documents are defective a secret. This does not allow me to address the alleged deficiencies.
