Issue: Unable to get your credit report or credit score

Subissue: Other problem getting your report or credit score

Consumer Complaint: For more than a year now Equifax has been reporting a wrong credit score on my XXXX XXXX profile. My score is being reporting over XXXX points wrong there and its cause me to be denied credit as well as receiving very high interest rates or very low limits if approved for anything at all. This has been going on for way too long and its really hurting and affecting my livelihood. On the Equifax site it shows a more accurate score but not across this other platform. Its also reporting a derogatory statement which is a collection that only shows on XXXX XXXX and doesnt even show on the actual Equifax site

Issue: Incorrect information on your report

Subissue: Personal information incorrect

Consumer Complaint: I have been dealing with Equifax for several months trying to correct wrong information on my credit report. Most of the information has been corrected except my information about employment. It was wrong, outdated, and they kept providing and disseminating it as valid information. They have excuse it by staying it was not considered for credit decision. It listed me as working for XXXX as a XXXX XXXX. XXXX went out of business and went into a receivership. Disputed this several times to no avail. Finally try to do it myself online but they require that CURRENT INFORMATION MUST BE PROVIDED. I feel I am not under any obligation to volunteer or give, or validate them any information, except my name, social security and birthday to access my file. At the point I apply for credit, I will provide that information to my creditor, not to them. If Equifax does not have any current or valid, verifiable information of my employment that field or piece of information should be in blank. Right now, it lists me as working for : XXXX, and in the position of XXXX. This does not exist.
