Complaint:
I created an account to do a couple of background checks on renters for my one rental property. 

The website " links '' don't work. 

Information is supposed to be available for 30 days and within that time period, I CAN NOT access information. 

There is NO receipt for a background check that costs {$40.00}. How is there NO receipt for a transaction I paid for with a credit reporting agency. 

I can NEVER login and ALWAYS have to create a NEW password. 

This company seems like a scam and is extremely unprofessional.

I request that these inquiries be promptly removed from my credit report, and that the credit bureaus provide me with a written report of their investigation. Additionally, I request that the credit bureaus take immediate steps to address their customer service practices and ensure that they are able to communicate effectively with all consumers, regardless of their accent or dialect. 

Thank you for your prompt attention to this matter.

Complaint:
After saving and planning, I contacted this company to settle my debt but instead the egregious employee condemned me and basically said I don't deserve to settle because I spent the money I owed. When I explained to him that I was young and not knowledgeable when I signed up for the XXXX credit card and that I actually only spent 25 % of what I owed and would like to settle for that amount, he refused. Instead of coming to an agreement he argued and tried to intimidate me. He also said they would not take the collection off of my report even if I paid the whole amount and asked for a pay to delete letter. He was totally rude and unhelpful. He cut me off every time I tried to explain my situation and was very pushy and continued to call and harass me and threatened to report to other agencies even after I offered to settle!

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:
On XX/XX/XXXX i disputed the completeness and accuracy with XXXX and Equifax and i received reinvestigation results from each of them and there were very noticeable inaccuracies. They verified these accounts as accurate when each of the companies documents are reporting very different things. 

For XXXX and Equifax the account XXXX XXXX acct # XXXX the account has multiple violations and inaccuracies. 

1. They failed to mark the account as disputed even though they said the account in dispute was verified as accurate. They Violated 15 usc 1681s-2 ( a ) ( 3 ). XXXX is knowingly reporting this account without being marked as disputed when they are not allowed to do so. 
2. The payment history from XX/XX/XXXX to XX/XX/XXXX they are reporting the account 120 days late consistently every month when Equifax is reporting the same account as 180 days late consistently in the same time period. 
3. The payment status is incorrect. XXXX is reporting the payment status on the reinvestigation results as 120 days late or past due while Equifax is reporting 180 days late or past due. 


For the other XXXX XXXX XXXX  Acct # XXXX the account was not marked as disputed from either one and is a violation of 15 usc 1681s-2 ( a ) ( 3 ). To take it a step further XXXX is reporting the last update as XX/XX/XXXX when the reinvestigation results were issued to me on XX/XX/XXXX. This shows negligence and willful non compliance. 

These obvious inaccuracies are hurting my ability to obtain credit and i demand they be removed immediately from XXXX and Equifax. 

I have Attached the Letters i sent out on XX/XX/XXXX and the reinvestigation results from each company I have also attached My identification
