Consumer complaint received 2021-07-19
Company: EQUIFAX, INC.
State: GA
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:
Equifax is the only Consumer Reporting Agency still reporting an inaccurate account on my consumer report. Account XXXX XXXX XXXX is an inaccurate account. XXXX XXXX XXXX, XXXX has failed to validate this account with the oringal contract with my signature. I have know knowledge of this debt, and I have no legal binding contract with XXXX XXXX XXXX, XXXX. XXXX  and XXXX  removed the account but Equifax has yet to remove this account which is a violation of the FCRA. Please be advised this is my THIRD WRITTEN REQUEST and FINAL WARNING that I fully intend to pursue litigation in accordance with the FCRA to enforce my rights and seek relief and recover all monetary damages that I may be entitled to under Section 616 and Section 617 regarding Equifax continued willful and negligent noncompliance. I have fully investigated my rights in this matter. Under the doctrine of estoppel by silence, Engelhardt v Gravens ( Mo ) 281 SW 715, 719, I may presume that no proof of the alleged debt, nor therefore any such debt, in fact exists. 
Despite two written requests, the unverified items listed below still remain on my credit report in violation of Federal Law. You are required under the FCRA to have a copy of the original creditors documentation on file to verify that this information is mine and is correct. In the results of Equifax first investigation and subsequent reinvestigation, Equifax stated in writing that theyverified that this item is being reported correctly? Who verified these accounts? Equifax have NOT provided me a copy of ANY original documentation ( a consumer contract with my signature on it ) as required under Section 611 ( a ) ( 1 ) ( A ). Furthermore Equifax have failed to provide the method of verification as required under Section 611 ( a ) ( 7 ). Please be advised that under Section 611 ( 5 ) ( A ) of the FCRA Equifax is required to promptly DELETE all information which can not be verified.

You can see the errors across the reports when it comes to the dates of last activity and payment history etc. This has impacted me and changed my life severely. In the letter I stated that if no action was taken in a timely manner that I would be contacting the cfpb and still no validation of the debt after over 5 months. This is a complete violation of the fair credit reporting act and the FDCPA.

Complaint:
I refinanced my house in 2012, instead of an actual appraisal the company used the county appraisal value of the home $ XXXX as a cost saving measure instead of full appraisal. The refi amount was $ XXXX. Fast forward today the loan value is $ XXXX and current home value $ XXXX. I have asked for the removal of escrow ( taxed & insurance ) no PMI ever on this property.

I have spoken to numerous customer representatives and I am constantly provided a different reason for not being able to remove this escrow
