Issue: Problem with a company's investigation into an existing problem

Subissue: Their investigation did not fix an error on your report

Consumer Complaint: When I investigated my credit report, I realized that some of the information was erroneous. The 3 credit bureaus are required to authenticate the account under Sections 609 ( a ) ( 1 ) ( A ) and 611 ( a ) ( 1 ). ( A ). It is not acceptable to treat the reporting account as unconfirmed information without producing proof within the legal time range.

Issue: Incorrect information on your report

Subissue: Personal information incorrect

Consumer Complaint: I have to try to fix an error Equifax has with my name and date of birth. They are reporting my name as XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX and this is wrong. My name is XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX theres supposed to be no slash. Also my date of birth is wrong, they have it as XX/XX/XXXX and its supposed to be XX/XX/scrub>XX/XX/XXXX I have submitted my id and ssn card twice by mail how they requested and they say that they have not received it. Now my id and ssn card information is lost and who knows where. I tried fixing it through myequifax website and upload my id and ssn card for the dispute of my personal information. I got a response saying the dispute was complete only to find out its still showing erroneous. I have tried to apply for credit and have been denied twice because the company can not access my credit report from equifax. I have letters from them stating the fact. When I talk to representatives at Equifax they authenticate my information with the information I give them, but when I ask how my date of birth and name appears in the system they give me the wrong name and date of birth information. I need this fix asap.

Issue: Incorrect information on your report

Subissue: Information belongs to someone else

Consumer Complaint: I am writing to formally express my dissatisfaction and file a complaint regarding the recent attempt to remove fraudulent items from my account. I believe that the process undertaken to rectify the situation has been unsatisfactory and warrants further attention. I discovered unauthorized and fraudulent transactions on my account issued by your institution. Immediately, I contacted your customer service department to report the fraudulent activities and requested assistance in removing these unauthorized charges. While I appreciate the initial responsiveness of your customer service representatives, the subsequent actions taken to address the issue have been inadequate. I expected a swift and effective resolution, but the process has been marred by inefficient procedures. Additionally, I am concerned about the lack of transparency in the communication throughout this ordeal. Timely updates and clear information regarding the steps being taken to rectify the situation would have greatly alleviated my anxiety. Unfortunately, the information provided has been insufficient, leaving me in the dark about the progress of the investigation. I am requesting a thorough review of the handling of my case and a comprehensive explanation of the steps taken to address the fraudulent transactions. Furthermore, I insist on a detailed plan outlining how your institution intends to prevent such incidents in the future. As a customer, I expect and deserve a higher standard of service, especially when dealing with issues as critical as fraudulent activities on my account. I trust that you will treat this matter with the urgency it deserves and take the necessary steps to rectify the situation promptly. If my concerns are not addressed satisfactorily, I may have no choice but to escalate this matter to the relevant regulatory authorities and consumer protection agencies. I am asking for your assistance to remove these fraudulent items in my credit file : XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX
