State: WI
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'm to understand that XXXX XXXX XXXX operates Check N Go. 
I've been battling with Check N Go and the company they sold the account to before bankruptcy, XXXX XXXX XXXX. They are reporting inaccurate information to my XXXX  Credit Report. I've asked repeatedly for this to be fixed or for the account to be deleted. Check N Go has contradicted themselves by saying it is XXXX XXXX XXXX who is to fix issues, but when told that XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX it is Check N Go that is reporting the inaccuracies, Check N Go changed their story while continuing to refuse to fix the issue. 
By refusing to comply with the FCRA and fix the inaccuracies or delete them, my consumer rights are being violated and violations of the FCRA are being committed. This needs to be resolved. Predatory companies like this, should be put out of business when they don't abide by the law.

Complaint:
Hi Unknown COLLECTION IC SYSTEM-acct # XXXX for {$410.00}???!!! ; Im confused and stressed and shocked when I reviewed my credit report this week and I found multiple inaccuracies on my credit report from the 3 major credit bureaus from a collection company that I never have dealt with before. I've attempted several times to ratify the issue with the original creditors and credit bureaus and they still reporting inaccurate, unverifiable information. I have disputed this item with the credit reporting agency and they reported you confirmed the account as valid. I honestly do not believe to ever have any relationship with this collection agency or original creditor. Also there are several inaccuracies with this account the way it's reporting and that's a total violation of FCRA and FDCPA laws and regulations. In a good faith effort to resolve the matter amicably, I must demand proof of this debt, specifically the alleged contract or other instrument bearing my signature, as well as proof of your authority in this matter. Absent such proof, you must correct any erroneous reports of this past debt as mine. I am writing to request that you please provide the following information : 1. Please evidence your authorization under 15 USC 1692 ( e ) and 15 USC 1692 ( f ) in this alleged matter. 2. What is your authorization of law for your collection of information? 3. What is your authorization of law for your collection of this alleged debt? 4. Please evidence your authorization to do business or operate in this state. 5. Please evidence proof of the alleged debt, including the alleged contract or other instrument bearing my signature. 6. Please provide a complete account history, including any charges added for collection activity. 
You have 30 days upon receipt of this letter to provide strict proof of contract. In the event you can not provide strict proof of contract, you must cease and desist any and all collection efforts and immediately remove any derogatory information reported to the consumer reporting agencies. In addition, you will need to provide me your agreement, in writing, that you are closing your file, ceasing collecting activity, and deleting all information related to this reference number from any and all credit reports youve furnished the information to. In the event you transfer this account to an attorney without providing proof of contract, and proving your claim, he/she will be immediate reported to the XXXX XXXX XXXX and XXXX XXXX XXXX for code of ethics violations.

Complaint:
I am in receipt of the letter dated XX/XX/2023 in response to my reinvestigation of the dispute ( s ) below. I am in disagreement with your decision. I requested you provide me the information you used to verify and validate these accounts. How can you decide if these accounts are accurate without an original contract with my signature? This account can not be validated in accordance with the Fair Debt Collections Practice Act. If this account is from the same creditor how are you able to verify and validate information that the other bureaus could not? By Federal law these accounts should be reporting consistent across all three bureaus, which it is NOT. Proof you have NOT done a proper investigation, FAILED to protect my consumer rights. You refused to correct this information which is a direct violation of FCRA 15 U.S.C 1681.You have violated my consumer rights.

According to Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ), everything on my consumer report/ credit profile must be accurate, and verifiable. If after reinvestigation the item information is found inaccurate or incomplete or can not be verified the consumer reporting agency must DELETE the item.

Issue: Incorrect information on your report
Sub-issue: Account information incorrect

Complaint:
Equifax continues to report incorrect and illegal information on my consumer report. I have been trying to get this information corrected and they refuse to make the corrections. I have again sent a certified letter to Equifax with Exhibits highlighting the personal information and the accounts that are all reflecting incorrect reporting. They have been tarnishing my reputation and hindering me and my credit worthiness. This false reporting has been causing me undue hardship as I have not been able to successfully obtain a vehicle and affordable domicile. It is their grave responsibility by law to report correct information on a consumer 's report and also do their due diligence in verifying the information that is being reported to them from creditors before even reporting anything on a consumer 's report. Had this been done, most of these accounts would not have been reported to being with. There are multiple accounts that are have inconsistent information being reported across all 3 credit reporting agencies including personal info, account numbers, open date, closed dates, amount owed, payment history. I have attached the documents to this complaint that have been notarized and certified mailed to Equifax.
