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: TX

Complaint narrative:
I have a dispute with the credit bureaus, all 3 have reported my score dropping 33 points between XX/XX/2018 and XX/XX/2018 when I checked it. 
Not one of them could tell me the event that caused it. Have yet to hear back from them and it has already been 3 weeks. 
The credit bureaus are telling me to contact XXXX XXXX, XXXX XXXX is saying it is the credit bureaus fault and in the meantime I am not getting any answers from either one. 

My credit report with XXXX showed that on XX/XX/2018 XXXX XXXX did a credit inquiry without my consent or knowledge. Subsequently the very next day they closed my account without my consent or knowledge. They have since reopened it sometime later to cover up their mistake. This is the only event that could have caused my credit score to drop. 
XXXX XXXX has denied doing this and suspiciously right after I filed the initial dispute on XX/XX/XXXX, all of a sudden I can not view this information on my credit report any more.

Issue: Problem with a credit reporting company's investigation into an existing problem — Investigation took more than 30 days
Company: EQUIFAX, INC.
State: CA

Complaint narrative:
The Equifax investigation did not remove inaccurate information. The investigation was not resolved within 30 days. The request to this particular debt has continued for years. Equifax refused to properly investigate. After my recent dispute, I believe that I have now become a target of discrimination by Equifax. After my recent dispute, Equifax added 13 alerts to my account. Equifax falsely initiated disputes without my permission. Equifax sent ( 4 ) disputes to the Federal Government that issued several students loans that are currently in good standing. Equifax falsely, stated to the loan servicing company, that I was disputing the debt. This is negligent, and fraudulent. It is my belief that these actions were retaliation for current calls, and complaints with CFPB. Equifax submitted false disputes to XXXX XXXX, A decades old account with XXXX, XXXX XXXX, a second dispute to XXXX XXXXXXXX, and XXXX XXXX. The disputes were discovered by me on XX/XX/2018 via the Equifax web account purchased to protect my credit file. Instead, Equifax has contributed to false reporting. The XXXX account remained on my account for years despite my continued efforts for removal. The product purchased by Equifax was advertised as a free product that has continued to be made available to victims of their breach. They have affected my score more negatively than the initial fraud. It is what I call adding salt to a wound.

Complaint narrative:
I tried to take {$500.00} out of the atm on XX/XX/2018 but when I tried the atm said that it couldnt disburse that amount and I needed to enter a lower amount, so I tried again with {$300.00} and it said the same thing. At this point I gave up and canceled and took my card and left. Later that night I checked my online banking account and say the {$500.00} on my statement it said it was disbursed when it never came out. So I called and filed a dispute and they just informed me it was denied and they are basically stealing my money and Im very upset. Please help me

Complaint narrative:
I submitted a dispute online with transunion over XXXX collection account with the amount of {$1100.00} on XX/XX/XXXX. I have received no response from them regarding their investigation. Through my online transunion account, it lists the completion date as XX/XX/XXXX. Today is XX/XX/XXXX. I also have a collections account still showing on my transunion report as delinquent that was paid off in XX/XX/XXXX in the amount of {$100.00}. Both of the collections accounts that are in question were removed by XXXX  and XXXX. 

Having an open dispute with them is preventing me from viewing my credit report and also from opening additional disputes for other collections accounts that have also already been removed from XXXX and XXXX 

I am trying to prepare for first-time mortgage qualification and this matter is severely hindering my progress.

Complaint narrative:
Creditors Collections Service contacted my mother in regards to a debt that I still owed and had no idea that I still owed any amount of money because I hadnt received any paper documentation stating that I still owed {$3500.00} for a combination of medical bills. About 5 or so years ago, my father tried to get the debt settled in order to get it off the books so I could quite worrying about it, but the company refused to settle and came up with different excuses as to why we couldnt get the debt settled so I would stop paying on it. Up until last month, I had been paying $ XXXX/month through my banks online bill pay. Once I stopped paying the company the {$5.00} & decided to put the {$5.00} elsewhere, they started to call and harass my mother about the debt that I, the patient/person who was on the account still owed. I called them back and stated that I had stopped payment due to not receiving any paper documentation in at least 2 plus years stating how much I still owed on the account so I was unaware until Friday, XX/XX/XXXX, that I still owed them the {$3500.00}. They stated that their system wasnt set up to send out bills for any monthly payment under {$25.00}. They asked if I was going to pay the {$25.00} and I flat out told them no. The highest amount that theyll be receiving is {$5.00} a month again.
