Issue: Incorrect information on your report — Information is missing that should be on the report
Company: EQUIFAX, INC.
State: NC

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 my privacy with my consumer report, since I control what is listed and what is not. In the event that any accounts are reported without my written consent, that is considered identity theft.

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 each account listed without my expressed written consent.

I looked at my consumer reports and noticed accounts I never gave anyone permission to report. Consumer reporting agencies have assumed a vital role and have a responsibility to report consumer information to the best of their ability with maximum possible accuracy like the Fair Credit Reporting Act clearly states. I did not provide written consent to report them "

Complaint narrative:
Dear CFPB, I am writing to dispute several fraudulent accounts appearing on my credit reports with XXXX, XXXX, and TransUnion. These accounts were opened without my authorization, and their continued reporting violates multiple provisions of the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ) and other federal laws.

Based on our review of your request and the information available to us, we have determined that either : your request to block was made in error, or, your request to block information was based on a material misrepresentation, or, you knowingly obtained or should have known that you obtained possession of goods, services, or moneys as a result of one or more of the transactions that you are seeking to block.

Therefore, we are declining your request to block one or more of the items of information.

This is an unlawful denial of my rights under 15 U.S.C. 1681c-2, which requires credit bureaus to block fraudulent information upon receipt of proper documentation. My identity theft report is valid, and Experians refusal to conduct a manual review is a blatant violation of the following laws : 15 U.S.C. 1681i ( a ) ( 1 ) Failure to investigate disputed information properly.

15 U.S.C. 1681e ( b ) Neglecting to ensure maximum possible accuracy in reporting.

15 U.S.C. 1681n Willful noncompliance with the FCRA.

I request the CFPBs immediate intervention to ensure the removal of these fraudulent accounts from all three credit bureaus and to address Experians failure to comply with federal regulations.

Thank you for your time and attention.

My credit card has worked before everywhere but it wasnt working with them. They didnt accept my credit card dispute because of that. They are not protecting consumers but merchants.

State: NC

Complaint narrative:
I am writing to formally dispute inaccurate information reported on my credit report concerning a charge-off. Below are the details of the account in question : Creditor Name : XXXX Account Number : XXXX Date of Charge-Off : XX/XX/year> **The highlighted info can be obtained directly from your credit report. If you need assistance with getting your credit report please see the instructions page included. 
It has come to my attention that this charge-off is being reported repeatedly monthly, which is incorrect. According to the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ), negative information such as a charge-off should be reported only once, reflecting the date it was charged off.

Under the FCRA, credit reporting agencies are required to ensure the accuracy of the information they provide ( 15 U.S.C. 1681e ( b ) ). The continuous monthly reporting of this charge-off misrepresents my payment history and negatively impacts my credit score. Furthermore, the statute of limitations for reporting a charge-off is seven years from the date of the initial delinquency that led to the charge-off ( 15 U.S.C. 1681c ( a ) ( 4 ) ).

Repeatedly reporting this charge-off as a new event each month does not reflect the statute of limitations and is therefore improper.

I request an immediate investigation into this matter and the correction of my credit report by removing the repeated entries of the charge-off from my payment history. Please update my credit report accordingly and provide written confirmation of these corrections. 
Thank you for your prompt attention to this matter
