State: CA
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:
XXXX from the beginning has been communicating with a person other than myself, as seen in the attachment they sent me. Instead of communicating with the consumer/natural person, who is myself, they have been communicating with the organization having the shared name as me. This is a violation of 15 USC 1692c ( b ), for I, the consumer, never gave consent. It also is an infringement on my right to privacy as the consumer. 

XXXXk claimed that they honor my cease and desist but not my remedy? These are not separate, and the fact that they are attempting to separate them and think that I would not recognize it is laughable. The cease and desist was sent for them to stop the illegal activity they are doing. I mentioned the remedy for the injury they caused, which was illegal. Them honoring the cease and desist is direct proof that they are in the wrong. As the consumer and the creditor, I invoke the specified remedy under 15 USC 1692c ( c ).

Their so-called validation sent to me failed to meet all 5 requirements under 15 USC 1692g , which means they are in another violation. A bill of particulars is attached. An original writing, recording, and photograph are required in order to prove its content. We both know that bill statements are not mentioned as validation, according to congress. Bill statements with the name of my organization on them are nothing but receipts, proving that XXXX ( the debt collector ) was credited for the transaction already through me, the original creditor. I told XXXX to feel free to attempt to provide a verification proving where else the credit originated. I also told XXXX to provide me with the name and address of the original creditor.

XXXX and Equifax still has not updated my balance to the correct {$0.00} balance. On XX/XX/XXXX, I reached out to XXXX, XXXX via email and provided them with the evidence of the cleared check that XXXX XXXX XXXX  provided me.
