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:
XXXX XXXX This is the third time I have contacted your company and you have still failed to delete. I have contacted your company and you have still failed to delete the disputed accounts your company could not verify. After this letter, be advised that I intend to pursue litigation for the damages your company has brought to me and my family. Based off the fact that your company has yet to forward any documents to me, show me any proof, and the fact that its already been 2 months so you have CLEARLY violated Section 611 ( 5 ) ( A ) and continue to show your blatant disregard for Federal Law. The Federal case law states that, Consumer Reporting Agencies bear grave responsibilities to ensure the accuracy of the accounts they report on and their responsibility must consist of something more than merely parroting information received from other sources. Thats all your company has been doing the past couple of months and it is against the law and clearly in violation of 1681 ( a ) ( 4 ). 
I also asked you to give me the name of the person in your company who verified the accuracy of these accounts but you ignored this request as well which is another violation of Federal Law! The law is very clear as to the Civil liability and the remedy available to me ( Section 616 & 617 ) if you fail to comply with Federal Law. Just remember when we go to litigation and your company is required to produce these documents along with an affidavit swearing under oath that these are the true and correct documents that you used to verify the disputed accounts. 
So once again, please be advised that under Section 611 ( 5 ) ( A ) of the FCRA you are required to promptly DELETE all information which can not be verified. I request that you do this immediately, which I am sure you are already aware of. 
All the accounts listed below need to be deleted off of my credit report IMMEDIATELY : Account Name XXXX XXXX account XXXX. Reason : You failed to verify and validate all data for this account, every notation, dates and balances. This account needs to be removed IMMEDIATELY via FCRA section 611. 


If your company, Equifax, fails to comply with federal regulations by credit reporting agencies ONE MORE TIME, you will be required to appear in a court venue local to me, in order to formally defend yourself. I will also have your company investigated by the Federal Trade Commission ( see 15 USC 41, et seq. ). I am also maintaining a careful record of my communications with you for the purpose of filing a complaint with the FTC and the Attorney Generals office, should you continue in your non-compliance. I further remind you that, as in Wenger v. Trans Union Corp., No. 95-6445 ( C.D.Cal. XXXX XXXXXXXX XXXX  ), you may be liable for your wilful non-compliance. 
Failure to respond satisfactorily within 30 days of receipt of this certified letter will result in a small claims action against your company. I will be seeking {$5000.00} in damages for : 1. Defamation 2. Negligent Enablement of Identity Fraud 3. Violation of the Fair Credit Reporting Act Sincerely, Please see attached MY FICO report that has all errors highlighted. Also see attached reports from other Bureaus Certified letter was sent XXXX and NO RESPONSE! And provide the letter where I gave WRITTEN consent to have this item placed on my consumer report. ALL bureaus are to report the same information HOWEVER XXXX XXXX IS NOT! According to Equifax this account is verified how is that possible when others DELETED THIS ITEM! Please see previous CFPB claim # XXXX attached

Company response to consumer: Closed with explanation
