Company: EQUIFAX, INC.
State: TX
Product: Credit reporting, credit repair services, or other personal consumer reports
Sub-product: Credit reporting
Issue: Problem with a credit reporting company's investigation into an existing problem
Sub-issue: Their investigation did not fix an error on your report

Complaint:
I have sent Equifax, XXXX, XXXX, and XXXX XXXX a validation of debt according to XXXX, I have already filed a complaint with CFPB on XX/XX/22 and sent letters requesting this debt buyer to validate all 8 of the accounts under my name. XXXX only sent me statements and also a letter showing that they have purchased the charged off debt. I have proof of all statements that and letters that XXXX  sent, but I can not attach to this website. 
I have submitted the law stating that XXXX XXXX have no legal rights to report any debt on my credit report per CFPB subpart 2 regulation F 1006.34 ( b ) ( 2 ) ( i ) : 1006.34 Notice for validation of debts. 

( i ) The last statement date, which is the date of the last periodic statement or written account statement or invoice provided to the consumer by a creditor ; Official interpretation of Paragraph 34 ( b ) ( 3 ) ( i ).

1. Last statement date. Under 1006.34 ( b ) ( 3 ) ( i ), the last statement date is the date of the last periodic statement or written account statement or invoice provided to the consumer by a creditor. For purposes of 1006.34 ( b ) ( 3 ) ( i ), the last statement may be provided by a creditor or a third party acting on the creditors behalf, including a creditors service provider. However, a statement or invoice provided by a debt collector is not a last statement for purposes of 1006.34 ( b ) ( 3 ) ( i ), unless the debt collector is also, a creditor. 

Per your law that you have written and stated on your website, XXXX has not validated any of the alleged debt according to section 1006.34 ( b ) ( 2 ) ( i ). This company is also reporting inaccurate payments on my Equifax report, and I have pointed this information out to all 3 of the credit reporting agencies, that fail to correct this ongoing issue. These companies and CRA 's are not following your rules and laws that have been put in place to protect the consumer! Why have laws, if you are not going to reinforce what you have in place? It's your law CFPB, why is it so hard for the consumer to win or get anything removed deleted if the Credit Reporting Agencies do not follow the laws?
