Consumer complaint received 2025-07-12 00:00:00
Product: Credit reporting or other personal consumer reports — Credit reporting
Issue: Problem with a company's investigation into an existing problem — Investigation took more than 30 days
Company: EQUIFAX, INC.
State: FL

Complaint narrative:
I am filing a new complaint against Equifax for failure to comply with the Fair Credit Reporting Act regarding an unresolved dispute for XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX account ending in XXXX ). 

I previously filed CFPB complaint # XXXX, which is still open and unresolved. On XX/XX/year>, I contacted Equifax by phone to demand deletion of this unverifiable account. The representative refused, claiming the creditor would not authorize removal which is a direct violation of FCRA 611 ( a ) ( 1 ) ( A ) requiring Equifax to conduct a proper reinvestigation within 30 days and delete unverifiable information. 

Additionally, I formally requested a Method of Verification under FCRA 611 ( a ) ( 7 ), which was denied by the representative, refusing to disclose how the information was verified and with what documentation. 

Further, the account is reporting as closed and charged-off while continuing to show active late payments after the closure date, which is a direct violation of FCRA 607 ( b ) requiring maximum possible accuracy in credit reporting.

This is a willful procedural and substantive violation of the Fair Credit Reporting Act. I am demanding immediate deletion of this unverifiable and inaccurately reported account and a full regulatory review into Equifaxs dispute handling practices.

Complaint narrative:
The Fair Credit Reporting Act ( 15 U.S. Code 1681 ) says ( 1 ) The banking system is dependent upon fair and accurate credit reporting. Inaccurate credit reports directly impair the efficiency of the banking system, and unfair credit reporting methods undermine the public confidence which is essential to the continued functioning of the banking system. So whenever there is a violation under the FCRA, it impairs the efficiency of the banking system. This is a violation of TILA US Code 1666B since I was never late. " I recently reviewed my consumer report and noticed an incorrect late payment record. I have always maintained timely payments on this account. Under the Fair Credit Billing Act ( FCBA ) and the Truth in Lending Act ( TILA ), creditors are required to accurately report consumer transactions and provide a mechanism for correcting errors in a timely manner. Please conduct an investigation into this matter, and if you can not provide documentary evidence of these supposed late payments, I demand these payments to be updated to on time as they should be as I was NEVER late. I expect these updates to be made promptly, in compliance with the law.

This is a violation of both 15 U.S. Code 1681b ( 2 ) and 15 U.S. Code 1681c-2. This leads way to civil liability against the credit reporting agency for negligent and willful noncompliance under 15 U.S. Code 1681n, which allows for {$1000.00} per violation, for account listed without my expressed written consent.

Complaint narrative:
Dear CFPB I hope this message finds you well. 

I am writing to formally address a matter that has significant implications regarding my consumer rights under the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ). Specifically, I wish to bring to your attention violations pertaining to my privacy and confidentiality as a consumer, as protected under federal law. 

As per the provisions outlined in the Fair Credit Reporting Act, particularly under 15 U.S.C. 1681, it is established that individuals possess a fundamental right to privacy. Furthermore, 15 U.S.C. 1681, Section 604 ( a ) ( 2 ) explicitly states that a consumer reporting agency is prohibited from furnishing a consumers credit report or account information without obtaining prior written authorization from the consumer in question. 

In light of these regulations, I must highlight that XXXX ( Account # XXXXXXXX XXXX XXXX ), XXXX XXXXXXXX XXXX ( Account # XXXXXXXX XXXX XXXX  ), DEPTEDXXXX ( Account # XXXXXXXX XXXX XXXX ), DEPTEDXXXX ( Account # XXXXXXXX XXXX XXXX  ) XXXX XXXX ( Account # XXXXXXXX XXXX XXXX  ) DEPTEDXXXX  ( Account # XXXXXXXX XXXX XXXX  ), DEPTEDXXXX  ( Account # XXXXXXXX XXXX XXXX ) has unlawfully accessed and disseminated my personal account information without my express consent. This action constitutes a direct violation of my federally protected rights, specifically regarding my right to privacy and the requirement for written authorization before the release of my consumer information. 

I kindly request that you investigate this matter promptly and take the necessary corrective actions to rectify this situation. I would appreciate a written response detailing the steps that will be taken to address this violation and ensure compliance with the Fair Credit Reporting Act moving forward. 

Thank you for your attention to this matter. I look forward to your prompt response. 

Sincerely, [ Your Name ] [ Your Contact Information ] [ Your Address ] [ Todays Date ]

Issue: Incorrect information on your report — Account information incorrect
Company: WELLS FARGO & COMPANY
State: NV

Complaint narrative:
On XX/XX/XXXX, I checked my credit reports from all three credit bureaus : XXXX XXXX XXXX  These reports showed that Wells Fargo Auto had charged off my car loan for {$15000.00}. A charge-off means a lender considers a debt unlikely to be collected and writes it off as a loss on their books. But it doesnt mean I dont owe it anymoreit still shows on my credit report and affects my credit score. 

Then things started to get confusing : On XX/XX/XXXX, my credit report still showed the balance as {$15000.00}. 

But on XX/XX/XXXX, Wells Fargo Auto reported the balance as {$19000.00} about {$4800.00} higher than before. 

Then, on XX/XX/XXXX, the balance dropped back to {$15000.00}. 

No Explanation or XXXX Wells Fargo never explained why these numbers kept changing. They did not provide any documents showing how they calculated these amounts. 

I sent over XXXX ( XXXX ) certified letters to Wells Fargo Auto demanding : Proof that I owe this debt Copies of the original contract I signed for the loan Information about any financial deals Wells Fargo might have made that affect this loan ( like selling it to investors, writing it off, or collecting insurance payments ) The only thing Wells Fargo sent back was a single letter on XX/XX/XXXX, simply repeating the balance they claimed I owed. They did not provide any documents proving their claim.
