Complaint:
To whom it may concern : Equifax XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX, GA XXXX I am officially challenging you to review your data on file for me! With the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ) section 611 ( 15 U S C 1681I ) and XXXX XXXX compliance standards, I challenge all inaccuracies or deficiencies of reporting. 

The credit report I received was not accurate, which surprises me because you should be adhering to the FCRA and applicable XXXX XXXX data field formatting standards. 

OK, so here 's my challenge for you : Make a document that shows all of the evidence and sends it to me. It should be verified, complete with sources! The 2020 CRRG states that any deviation from these standards jeopardizes the integrity of data. This is a serious issue! 

The report you sent me is not accurate. Are you sure that all of the information is accurate and properly formatted? The below-noted claims are disputed and have not been confirmed as facts. Please take care of any false accounts on my credit report. I am requesting that you fix this issue as soon as possible because it will affect me financially in the future if left unchecked! I can't live with anything less than 100 % accuracy on my credit report. I want only factually accurate, verified and compliant data documented in it! 

Below is a summary of the data in which I am challenging : Personal Information for Equifax NAME : XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX Can you please delete any names in your system that don't match mine? I want to make sure the database has accurate information about me, so it will help with future transactions if you can get rid of any names in your system that don't match XXXX XXXX XXXX CURRENT ADDRESS : XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX, CA XXXX XXXX, XXXX Your most up-to date personal information should be accurate, timely and verifiable. If you don't have the proper documentation for your credit profile then it's not in compliance with FCRA or XXXX XXXX standards. Please delete any address in your system that does not match my address of XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX, CA XXXX Yours Truly, You are not following the rules. I have listed all of my rights in this document so that they can be met accordingly, but it appears you do not care about fulfilling your obligations under Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ) or XXXX XXXX law XXXX XXXX XXXX Please send your written response to my address of XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX, CA XXXX I am writing to inform you that I am aware of your illegal practices of sending form letters in response to disputes and challenges from consumers, regardless of the specific information that they have provided. This is in violation of 15 U.S. Code 5 1681i, which requires that each dispute and challenge must be addressed individually and on its own merits.My letters were created using software that is available to everyone. If you don't process my letters, you are violating my rights as a consumer. I will consider this to be an intentional disregard of my rights, and I will contact my lawyer to take legal action.

Company response to consumer: Closed with explanation
