Product: Credit reporting or other personal consumer reports — Credit reporting
Issue: Incorrect information on your report — Personal information incorrect
Company: EQUIFAX, INC.
State: TX

Complaint narrative:
I am filing this complaint to report unlawful and deceitful practices committed by XXXX XXXX XXXX, a XXXX XXXX XXXX that misrepresented its services and violated my rights under the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ). 

Despite their advertised XXXX XXXX XXXX and claims of removing inaccurate items within XXXX days, the company failed to deliver promised results. They disputed accurate information on my credit report without my consent, submitted generic dispute letters that lacked factual basis, and refused to provide documentation of their actions. These practices have led to delays in my financial goals and potential damage to my credit profile. 

The following FCRA provisions appear to have been violated : 15 U.S.C. 1681s-2 ( a ) Furnishers of information must not report inaccurate information. If XXXX XXXX XXXX submitted disputes on my behalf that were knowingly false or misleading, they violated this provision. 

15 U.S.C. 1681i ( a ) Credit reporting agencies must conduct a reasonable reinvestigation of disputed information. If disputes were frivolous or lacked supporting documentation, they may have triggered improper reinvestigations. 

15 U.S.C. 1681e ( b ) Credit reporting agencies must maintain reasonable procedures to ensure maximum possible accuracy. If XXXX XXXX XXXX actions led to inaccurate updates, this provision may apply.

15 U.S.C. 1679b ( a ) Under the Credit Repair Organizations Act ( CROA ), it is unlawful for a credit repair organization to make untrue or misleading statements or engage in deceptive practices.

Complaint narrative:
I am filing this complaint to dispute a credit card account that appears on my credit report as an authorized user account. I was added to this account without my knowledge or consent, and I have never had any responsibility for the account, nor did I ever use or benefit from it. 

Although i dont have the account Number, the account in question is negatively affecting my XXXX XXXX, and I have already attempted to resolve this issue with the credit bureaus but have not received a satisfactory outcome. 

Under the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ), I have the right to dispute inaccurate or unauthorized information on my credit report. Since I was added as an authorized user without my consent, I am requesting that this account be fully removed from my credit file across all reporting agencies. 

Please investigate and take appropriate action to ensure this account is removed and my credit report is corrected. 

I would appreciate written confirmation once this issue is resolved. 

Thank you for your attention to this matter. 

Sincerely, XXXX XXXXXXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX

Company: Affirm Holdings, Inc
State: PA

Complaint narrative:
On XX/XX/year>, Affirm marked a {$250.00} loan ( Loan ID : XXXX ) as charged off and reported it to credit bureaus. 

This loan was related to a temporary license plate purchase in New Jersey. However, there was a serious issue with the transaction. I contacted Affirm via live chat at the time, and the customer service representative told me to turn off auto-pay and assured me that the issue would be resolved and the loan would be canceled or removed. 

I trusted their guidance and stopped monitoring the account, believing the issue was handled. I received no further communication or updates from Affirm. 

Months later, I discovered that this account had been marked as charged off and reported to credit bureaus which negatively affected my credit without my knowledge. 

This situation was caused either by fraud or by Affirms mishandling of my case. I never received the product or service, and I should not be held responsible for this debt.

Company: EQUIFAX, INC.

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.

Complaint narrative:
I submitted a complaint to the Bureaus a month ago, but sadly, the incorrect information on my report is still there. I haven't heard back from them, aside from your notification that the company has replied to my complaint. How can I trust that they have properly investigated the inaccuracies? What steps did they take to verify the accounts? This entire situation is extremely frustrating! Over XXXX days have passed since I filed my complaint, and the disputed accounts remain unchanged. If this persists, I may have to consider legal action due to the significant stress it has caused me. Additionally, I'm worried about the security of my personal information, especially after the data breach involving Equifax, Experian, and Transunion.

Complaint narrative:
The credit card account in question is for XXXX XXXX XXXX. I, XXXX XXXX, am a user of the company account. I handle finances for the company, so bills are sent to me. 

I disputed with the furnisher, as well as with each of the XXXX main credit reporting agencies, the ownership of the account. Since this is a business account, account information should not be on my personal credit report without the existence of a personal guarantee. Despite multiple requests, XXXX XXXX repeatedly failed to prove even a semblance of a personal guarantee. Among the responses from XXXX XXXX, only XXXX letter ( attached ) even addresses the issue. XXXX XXXX admitted that the account must have been set up online or over the phone ( they don't seem to know which ), and therefore they don't have a copy of the original application. Without this, it is impossible to establish a personal guarantee.
