Issue: Incorrect information on your report

Subissue: Account information incorrect

Consumer Complaint: On XX/XX/2024, after a request was made to a creditor XXXX XXXX to manually update my credit report, EQUIFAX updated an account to show a {$0.00} balance, per the creditor request. This was an accurate accounting of the creditor account. On XX/XX/2024 EQUIFAX then reported the account was back at the balance previously reported on XX/XX/2024 when the 30-day cycle runs for credit reporting. I spoke with the creditor and they never made this request, and reconfirmed that the last request they sent to EQUIFAX was for the XX/XX/2024 update to a {$0.00} balance. I am trying to purchase a house and any inaccuracies present an issue to any approval from my lender as well as my credit score. It appears a dispute was also investigated related to this account where Equifax reports that the creditor stated the account balance was at XXXX as of XX/XX/2024. But that would be impossible as EQUIFAX updated the balance correctly on XX/XX/XXXX to {$0.00}, after a manual request was sent to them by XXXX, but then EQUIFAX changed that balance to what was reported previously, which was incorrect and inaccurate. This is an ongoing concern where EQUIFAX does not investigate disputes and rather uses the last date of reporting to certify they have investigated the matter. I have evidence and documentation proving this even recently where they said they conducted an investigation into unauthorized inquiries that continue to be on my credit report, but sent me correspondence that stated they could not find the inquiries on my report ; yet they were clearly there.

Issue: Incorrect information on your report

Subissue: Account information incorrect

Consumer Complaint: As of late I decided that I need to keep a closer eye on my credit report. Upon review I was shocked and horrified to find a myriad of errors being reported on my credit report.

I am needing to get funding for my business and these dubious errors are causing unnecessary stress and harm to my mental health.

Issue: Incorrect information on your report

Subissue: Account information incorrect

Consumer Complaint: The other day I was looking at my credit report and was shocked to find a number of errors being incorrectly and verifiably reported on my credit. This lack of diligence by the bureaus is incredibly wrong and frustrating and is causing a lot of stress in my day to day life due to the bureaus reporting misinformation without verifying it and without getting my authorization to do so.
