Product: Credit reporting or other personal consumer reports — Credit reporting
Issue: Improper use of your report — Reporting company used your report improperly
Company: EQUIFAX, INC.
State: NJ

Complaint narrative:
I am submitting this complaint regarding an issue with my credit report that is negatively affecting my financial standing. I have made multiple attempts to resolve this matter directly with the creditor/furnisher, but they have failed to provide an adequate response. Below are the details of my complaint : XXXX. Charged-Off Account or Collection Account Creditor/Collection Agency Name : XXXX XXXX Account Number XXXX XXXX Creditor/Collection Agency Name : XXXX XXXX XXXX Account Number : XXXX Creditor/Collection Agency Name : XXXX XXXX Account Number : XXXX Creditor/Collection Agency Name : XXXX Account Number : XXXX Issue : This account was charged off/placed in collections without proper notification or validation of the debt. 

I requested validation of the debt per my rights under the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ) and Fair Debt Collection Practices Act ( FDCPA ), but the creditor/collection agency failed to provide sufficient documentation. 

The reported balance and payment history contain inaccuracies that I have disputed with the credit bureaus, yet the creditor refuses to correct or remove the erroneous data. 

The account was sold to a third-party collector, yet it remains listed under the original creditor, creating duplicate reporting and unfair harm to my credit profile. 

I am requesting the immediate deletion of this inaccurate and unverifiable account from my credit report or proper documentation proving its validity. 

XXXX. Unauthorized/Incorrect Hard Inquiry Company That Performed Inquiry : XXXX Date of Inquiry : XX/XX/XXXX Company That Performed Inquiry : XXXX  Date of Inquiry : XX/XX/XXXX Issue : I did not authorize this company to pull my credit. 

No written consent or permissible purpose exists for this hard inquiry, which is a violation of the FCRA ( 15 U.S.C. 1681b ). 

Despite my dispute, the credit bureaus and the creditor have refused to remove the unauthorized inquiry. 

I am requesting the immediate removal of this hard inquiry from my credit report, as it was made without my authorization.

Company: Experian Information Solutions Inc.
State: MN

Complaint narrative:
I am filing a complaint against Equifax for failing to properly investigate my disputes regarding inaccuracies in my credit report. Despite my submissions, Equifax consistently responds within 24 hours stating the account is accurate, without providing any evidence of a thorough investigation. This practice violates the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ), 15 U.S.C. 1681i, which mandates a reasonable investigation of disputes. Furthermore, Equifax 's actions may also contravene the Consumer Financial Protection Act ( CFPA ), 12 U.S.C. 5536 ( a ) ( 1 ) ( A ) - ( B ), as highlighted in the CFPB 's recent administrative proceeding ( File No. XXXX ) against them for similar violations. I request that the CFPB take action to ensure Equifax complies with federal law and provides consumers with the necessary proof of investigation. These are the accounts that I marked as inaccurate : XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX

Complaint narrative:
Experian says I have a credit freeze. I can not access my account because it requires a code that is sent to my cell phone. There is a confirmation link they send, I get that and click on it, then its supposed to send an access code and when I request it I never receive it. When I try to request a password reset it tells me the cell phone I entered is incorrect even tho its the one they sent the original confirmation link to. Its the only number I have had for 20 years. Ive tried no less than XXXX phone numbers that are either automated and can not help or it connects to a human that puts me on hold. Ive waited up to XXXX mins before hanging up-multiple times. Ive tried to upload identity verification to the link they provided-its giving an error code that the site doesnt exisit. The next and final option is to send copies of my ID, Birth Certificate, SS Card and Bank statement to a po box and wait 30 days. Im not comfortable sending those items via regular mail. If someone intercepted it they would have everything they need to ruin my identity. Id think some where that I could send something overnight would be more secure? Im trying to buy a home and this is going to prevent that from happening because no one is going to wait months to get Experian to fix my credit report.
