Issue: Unable to get your credit report or credit score

Subissue: Problem getting your free annual credit report

Consumer Complaint: On XX/XX/2023 I requested my free annual credit report from all three bureaus and I received it from XXXX and XXXX but none from Equifax. I further followed up with the bureau in particular on XX/XX/2023 via USPS again for a report and to date, I have received no response. It appears Equifax is furnishing a credit profile that is fraudulent and refuses to provide a report to dispute and exclude from my credit causing me harm from credit slander and defamation. Per 15 USC 1681, they are to provide a fair accurate report and not interfere with my general reputation. They are further liable per 15 USC 1692k civil liability and under 15 USC 1681n for willful noncompliance. Failing to send you notifications about your credit report or score in violation of the FCRA. I further declare I am entitled to statutory damages based on Equifax 's conduct.

Issue: Incorrect information on your report

Subissue: Account information incorrect

Consumer Complaint: I am writing to inform you of the inaccurate information that Equifax has been reporting on my credit report Upon reviewing my credit report, I discovered that Equifax Is reporting erroneous information that has severely damaged my credibility and caused significant financial and emotional distress. This inaccurate reporting is in direct violation of the regulations set forth in the 15 U.S. Code 1681s2, which prohibits the furnishing of inaccurate information to consumer reporting agencies. Specifically, Equifax has reported a debt as part of my credit history, which is entirely inaccurate. According to the guidelines of the Internal Revenue Service ( IRS ), canceled debts should be reported as gross income on tax returns, not as debts on consumer reports. Thus, the reporting of this account as a debt is not only incorrect but also contradicts the established regulations. The IRS clearly defines a charge off as gross or ordinary income, which should not be reported on the consumer report. Therefore, the reporting of this account as a debt is unequivocally inaccurate. Furthermore, I have not received a Form 1099-C from any data furnisher, despite the fact that it is required if the canceled debt exceeds {$600.00}, as stated in the IRS guidelines . This form is crucial for accurately reporting taxable income, and its absence further corroborates the inaccuracies present in Equifax 's reporting. This incident has deeply disturbed me, as it has had a profound impact on my financial well-being. I am taking proactive steps to rectify this situation and ensure that my credit report reflects accurate information.
