Consumer complaint received 2022-08-15 00:00:00
Product: Credit reporting, credit repair services, or other personal consumer reports — Credit reporting
Issue: Problem with a credit reporting company's investigation into an existing problem — Their investigation did not fix an error on your report
Company: EQUIFAX, INC.
State: NC

Complaint narrative:
A few months ago the credit bureaus announced all over national media that collections {$500.00} and under, and also collections that are PAID would no longer report on consumer credit reports. I have a collection from XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX reporting on my Equifax credit report. I sent Equifax a letter about this collection that is PAID OFF and was only for {$79.00}. They made a promise to the general public those would be removed starting XX/XX/XXXX, I looked at my Equifax credit report and that collection is still reporting after my letter and as of today XX/XX/XXXX it is still reporting. It looks like Equifax is going back on its promise to the general public. I have sent them another letter today to remind them of this promise.

Issue: Problem with a credit reporting company's investigation into an existing problem — Difficulty submitting a dispute or getting information about a dispute over the phone
Company: Experian Information Solutions Inc.
State: OK

Complaint narrative:
So I submitted disputes on both collections in XXXX, requesting validation, copies of investigation and sources used, and documents showing signature of debtor as the only unquestionable medium of validation. Received nothing and investigation was concluded with updating information on both collections. Being this dispute was not satisfied correctly which to my understanding are fcra violations, I submitted another requesting same info as first time, Experian concluded the investigation near immediately referencing previous XXXX dispute as findings and again not providing all requested information. So 3rd disputed was submitted on both last week and Experian immediately denied the dispute. All things listed being violations of the FCRA punishable by fines per violation. Then whoever the Experian rep was responding, started requesting information and copies of I.d . and utility bills like theyre siding with companies. The bureaus position is only to properly report, properly follow the processes set by law, and correctly report information given. Violating debtor rights and playing advocate on behalf of companies is apparently what they believe their job is now. Laws are in place to protect consumers, not deny them of their rights all together and to not follow the process of of doing a full investigation by the process no matter how many time any given credit line is disputed. To the best of my understanding thats exactly what is supposed to happen every time, is the full process of the investigation, not just a yea we did that already and updated. Updated info was not requested. Validation of debt was requested with copies of results, sources, and signatures. None happened. Thank you for your time in looking into this. Credit means nothing if theres no credibility within the credit bureau itself. Then we have nothing to go by

Company: EQUIFAX, INC.
State: NC

Complaint narrative:
On XXXX I attempted to get and save as a PDF my Equifax credit report from AnnualCreditReport.com. I have been able to get my reports from there before with no issues until now. After inputting my personal information it kept putting up a screen to call them, so I did. They directed me to myequifax.com to sign up and get my report there. Although I successful in signing up and viewing my credit report, I was unable to print or save my credit report as a PDF. I called Equifax to find out how I can print or save it, the representative told me that printing or saving a credit report from my equifax is not allowed for " liability reasons '' Why is that? Is it to make it harder for me to send disputes up for the multitude of errors on my credit report?
