Consumer Narrative
on XX/XX/2022 at approximately XXXX I contacted Equifax and asked them why my credit report on their site Equifax 's own site, did not have my consumer statement. I wanted to also find out for sure if my report could be updated " immediately '' as they said numerous times in many ways can not happen ever. Yet the comments went in right away from XXXX a few minutes before I was speaking with a representative about why they were not showing up in Equifax 's credit report for me. They did show up on the accurate and probably true credit report that these agencies keep on us secretly or whatever as the agent read it to me, but it wasn't on my site, I have a screenshot at similar time. XXXX is important and consumers should have all of it. This is over a {$18.00} 30 day overdue reported by XXXX to the agencies and subsequent charging me {$2.00} without informing me at all of this {$18.00}, the overages as they were being charged in any way or the reporting. I found out from the free equifax report and now I am on the path to trying to right this wrong XXXX and the agencies have collectively assigned me due to their broken and unfair system to put people who seemingly have good credit, to having bad credit so we can pay more interest and pay more fees, that is stealing! They should not be allowed to do this and should remove XXXX from my credit report and any and all derogatory remarks forever. They are costing me not only personal damage but my brand new american business a lot of damage too!
