Product: Credit reporting or other personal consumer reports — Credit reporting
Issue: Incorrect information on your report — Information belongs to someone else
Company: EQUIFAX, INC.
State: IN

Complaint narrative:
My account with EQUIFAX was never late! I have had exceptional payment history with XXXX  XXXX and all payments were placed on Autopay. This late payment that is reporting is a result on a systematic error on their end processing my payment.

This was clearly a billing error made my the company and is not a reflection of my payment experience which violates USC Code 1681eb. This error has caused severe hard to my reputation, my character, my mode of living and to my family!

I demand the late payment reported in ( MONTHS REPORTING LATE ) to be removed.

They are not in compliance with the following law. 15 USC 1666b and its requirements set the standards and the guidance for a creditor to treat a payment as late, yet they are reporting a payment as late and they did not comply with the law!

15 USC 1666b ( a ) Time to make payments A creditor may not treat a payment on a credit card account under an open end consumer credit plan as late for any purpose, unless the creditor has adopted reasonable procedures designed to ensure that each periodic statement including the information required by section 1637 ( b ) of this title is mailed or delivered to the consumer not later than 21 days before the payment due date.

EQUIFAX Never Sent the periodic statement along with the disclosures from section 1637 ( b ).

I have requested proof that this information was mailed or delivered 21 days before the payment due date and this information was requested in good faith pursuant rule 1002 and It was never provided.

This is unfair, illegal, fraudulent, and not equitable to me as a consumer!

Delete the late payments from my consumer reports

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 on my XXXXXXXX XXXX account [ XXXX ]. 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.

Complaint narrative:
On XX/XX/year>, I sent a formal dispute to Experian regarding multiple inaccuracies in my credit report related to accounts under XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX and XXXX. The total balance, payment histories, account status, and remarks have been inconsistently reported across Experian, XXXX, and XXXX. 

Some actions I took to address this issue include : Reviewing the credit report and identifying discrepancies across the accounts in question, including balance inconsistencies, conflicting payment statuses, and discrepancies in account activity dates. 
Issuing a dispute letter to Experian, detailing the specific inaccuracies in each account and citing my rights under the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ) to demand an investigation and resolution. 
Requesting that Experian validate and verify the information, along with the names and contact details of individuals responsible for certifying the accuracy of the data. 
The amounts in question include discrepancies such as a balance of {$290.00} reported by XXXX, while Experian listed the balance as {$0.00}. The discrepancies span across multiple accounts with varying amounts reported by different credit bureaus, which jeopardize the accuracy of my credit profile. 

I request that these companies review and correct these discrepancies as per the FCRA guidelines to ensure accuracy in the reporting process. Please provide me with the outcome of the investigation and any necessary corrections. 

Thank you for addressing this issue promptly.

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 account listed without my expressed written consent.
