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: CA

Complaint narrative:
Equifax falsely " verified '' that my account with XXXX XXXX XXXX  has a balance. This is patently false and is perpetuating the reporting of inaccurate information on my report. I provided Equifax proof, but they are maintaining the " verified '' inaccurate information and " reinvestigating, '' when the furnisher is instead saying it is " up to the credit bureaus, '' so it is clear that Equifax is intentionally maintaining false data. I attempted to again submit the evidence of a XXXX balance, but Equifax does not seem to have the ability to fax in supporting documents, despite the cfpb online articles saying otherwise ( cfpb database of articles includes one expressly stating that Equifax maintains the ability to submit dispute documents by fax ). See attached evidence.

Company: EQUIFAX, INC.
State: TX

Complaint narrative:
I'm only going to describe information pertaining to XXXX and Equifax. I've already completed the XXXX XXXX part. Refer to my Attachments to see the entirely complaint. I sent my first dispute letter dated XX/XX/2022 to XXXX, XXXX and Equifax stating that I never had a contract with this debt collector for any debt pertaining to XXXX XXXX XXXX. Please provide proof from the original creditor that this debt collector owns this debt and has legal authority to collect it or delete this account. Please reinvestigate these matters and delete or correct the disputed information as soon as possible. Thank you for your assistance. I received an email from XXXX pertaining to the dispute pertaining to XXXX XXXX XXXX. I logged into my XXXX account and read that XXXX XXXX XXXX has certified to XXXX that information is accurate. This item was not changed. My question is who telling the truth. XXXX respond very quick stating that this item was not changed. But XXXX XXXX XXXX needs more time to investigate. I received a letter/credit report from Equifax dated XX/XX/2022 stating that they Verified this item belongs to me. My dispute letter requesting proof that this debt collector can legally collect on this alleged debt. All three credit bureaus investigation stated as verified. XXXX and Equifax also did not do a proper investigation. Validation and Verified are two different scenarios. XXXX and Equifax continue to allow XXXX XXXX XXXX to report onto my credit report. Along with this letter are the following evidence listed below : 1. 3 Dispute Letters dated XX/XX/2022 sent to all three credit bureaus pertaining to XXXX XXXX XXXX. 2. Certified mail/ tracking numbers sent all 3 credit bureaus. 3. Credit Reports from all 3 credit bureaus.4. A report from the Better. I am requesting that this account be removed from my credit report and I am seeking monetary damages in the amount of {$1000.00} per violation from XXXX XXXX XXXX in failing to produce information per consumer request in a reasonable time by law. And all 3 credit bureaus : XXXX, XXXX and Equifax failure to properly investigate my request, instead, all 3 bureaus verifying my dispute as Accurate. Verifying information and requesting a debt collector to provide proof that they can collect on a debt and to produce a contract, is two different things.

Issue: Struggling to pay your loan — 
Company: BANKERS HEALTHCARE GROUP LLC
State: MA

Complaint narrative:
XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX In early 2022, I received mail from BHG promising loans specifically for licensed healthcare professionals XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX I applied for and quickly received a loan for {$20000.00}. Although the monthly payments of {$430.00} were a struggle to maintain, I made 15 payments for a total of {$6500.00}. Realizing that this loan was a terrible, impulsive mistake on my part, I contacted BHG to inquire about paying the balance in full. I was told that the balance of the loan was {$23000.00}, but that because I was attempting to pay it off early, the payoff amount they offered was {$46000.00}. I told them that this was an obscene amount to expect me to pay on a {$20000.00} loan, and I am currently awaiting another offer. I feel I was targeted by BHG due to my history of using payday loans. I have a mental illness that I am trying to recover from, and I explained this to them, only to be given a bad-faith payoff offer that is well over twice the original value of the loan. In my experience this is a predatory company exploiting vulnerable people.
