I filed a dispute for incorrect information on my credit report. I received an email from the credit bureau stating that they are assuming the disputes are coming from a 3rd party. They in fact did not come from a 3rd party. l even called them to verify it was me and they still refused to process my disputes. I wasted money on mailing my disputes out. I sent personal information to verify my identity through mail, just for them to not thoroughly investigate.

Company: EQUIFAX, INC.
State: NJ

Complaint narrative:
I discovered an unauthorized and inaccurate collection account on my credit report from EQUIFAX associated with XXXX, account number XXXX. This account does not belong to me, and I have no knowledge of its origin. I formally disputed this account with the credit bureau, requesting verification and removal based on my rights under the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ), specifically Sections 611 ( 15 U.S.C. 1681i ), 609 ( 15 U.S.C. 1681g ), and 623 ( 15 U.S.C. 1681s-2 ), as well as the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act ( FDCPA ), specifically Sections 809 ( 15 U.S.C. 1692g ) and 807 ( 15 U.S.C. 1692e ).

Despite my formal dispute and request for a thorough investigation, EQUIFAX has continued to report this account without verifying its accuracy or providing me with documentation supporting its validity. This violates my rights under the FCRA, as credit bureaus are required to conduct a reasonable investigation and must not report inaccurate or unverifiable information. Notably, failure to comply with these requirements has been underscored by precedents such as Marchisio v. Carrington Mortgage Services, Henson v. CSC Credit Services, and Johnson v. MBNA America Bank, NA. 
This inaccurate information is damaging my credit score and affecting my financial standing. I believe that the credit bureaus failure to properly investigate and respond to my dispute is a direct violation of the FCRA, causing me unnecessary harm.

Complaint narrative:
XX/XX/year> Subject : Request for Investigation and Correction of Inaccurate Late Payments on My Credit Report Dear CFPB, Following your agency 's completion of the investigation as outlined in this complaint, I am writing to request a detailed description of the investigation process used to review the disputed account on my credit report. Pursuant to the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ), 15 USC 1681i ( a ) ( 7 ), credit reporting agencies are required to provide a description of the investigation process within 15 days of receiving a consumers dispute. 

Upon reviewing my credit report, I discovered that my XXXX account reflects inaccurate late payments, despite my consistent record of timely payments. It is imperative that consumer reporting agencies ensure all information is reported with complete accuracy, and I am now requesting that TransUnion thoroughly investigate this account and update the entries to reflect on-time payments. 

Discrepancies in Reporting : The credit reporting agencies have inaccurately recorded late payments on this account that do not reflect my actual payment history. The discrepancies are as follows : XXXX : XXXX late payment in XX/XX/year> XXXX : XXXX late payment in XX/XX/year> TransUnion : XXXX late payment in XX/XX/year> These entries are incorrect, as I have consistently made all payments on time. 
Legal Basis for Dispute : Under the FCRA ( 15 USC 1666 ( b ) ), I am entitled to the accurate reporting of my account history. The presence of these erroneous late payments misrepresents my creditworthiness, potentially constituting a violation of both the FCRA and the Truth in Lending Act ( TILA ). Additionally, sections 15 U.S.C. 1681i and 1681s-2 of the FCRA mandate that credit reporting agencies and information furnishers correct inaccurate or incomplete information in consumer reports to ensure maximum accuracy. 

Requested Action : I request that TransUnion perform a comprehensive investigation into this account and promptly remove the inaccurate late payment entries to reflect my correct payment history of 100 % on-time payments. 

Please confirm the removal of these inaccuracies in writing within 30 days of this complaints submission. Failure to resolve this issue may lead to further action to protect my rights as a consumer. 

Thank you for your immediate attention to this matter. I look forward to receiving confirmation of the corrections within the timeframe mandated by the FCRA. 

Sincerely, XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX

Complaint narrative:
I attempted to open a joint account with my husband at Capital One but was informed that I could not proceed due to a previous account associated with my name. When I inquired further, the representative asked me to verify my current name, as I was previously married, along with my social security number. After providing this information, I was told they could not share any details about the account, including its location, the overdraft amount, or the documentation originally used to open it. Despite my request, they refused to provide additional information regarding the account. I am concerned that my information was used to update their system, potentially linking my current name to this account without my consent.
