Complaint:
Dear Equifax : To Whom It May Concern, It is a crime to threaten lawsuit with no intention of doing so, therefore you can take heed that I am very serious about filing suit against your company. I have sent 10 PREVIOUS LETTERS to you, all by certified mail requesting that you REMOVE INACCURATE INFORMATION from my file and you have failed to do so. 

Accordingly, I can show a judge that these accounts are ERRONEOUS AND COMPLETELY INACCURATE and that you violated the Fair Credit Reporting Act by ignoring my requests to investigate the items. My previous letters stated my reasons for an investigation and these reasons WERE NOT FRIVOLOUS in any way. 

These items are reported inaccurately : XXXX. Erroneous account Direct Violation of 15 USC 1681 Reporting incorrectly.

If this final request does not prompt you to conduct a PROPER INVESTIGATION of these accounts in question, and SEND PROOF to me of said investigation, I will file a civil suit in my county for damages and you can travel to defend yourself. 

I take my credit very serious and your lack of professionalism and assistance disappoints me. I AM WELL AWARE OF MY RIGHTS UNDER THE FCRA ( FAIR CREDIT REPORTING ACT ) and I intend to pursue them to the maximum. As you are well aware, federal law requires you to respond within 30 days through U.S. Mail. Failure to comply with federal regulations by credit reporting agencies are in serious violation of the Fair Credit Reporting Act and may be investigated by the FTC, XXXX, & CFPB. 

I await your response. 

Sincerely, XXXX XXXX
