Complaint:
This is my SECOND complaint through this agency. I have sent off several certified notarized letter to Equifax, advising them to remove unverified information on my credit report. They are REQUIRED BY LAW to have a copy of my contract with MY WRITTEN SIGNATURE ON FILE AT ALL TIMES. They do not have a copy of a contract with my written signature on file for the items I have listed. They have been and CONTINUE TO BE IN VIOLATION OF FEDERAL LAW. This is a copy of my final letter sent to all three companies. NOTICE OF PENDING LITIGATION SEEKING RELIEF AND MONETARY DAMAGES UNDER FCRA SECTION 616 & SECTION 617 Please accept this final written OFFER OF SETTLEMENT BEFORE LITIGATION as my attempt to amicably resolve your continued violation of the Fair Credit Reporting Act regarding your refusal to delete UNVERIFIED information from my consumer file. I intend to pursue litigation in accordance with the FCRA to seek relief and recover all monetary damages that I may be entitled to under Section 616 and Section 617 if the UNVERIFIED items listed below are not deleted immediately. A copy of this letter as well as copies of the three written letters sent to you previously will also become part of a formal complaint to the Federal Trade Commission and shall be used as evidence in pending litigation provided you fail to comply with this offer of settlement. Despite three 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 your investigations, you stated in writing that you verified that these items are being reported correctly? Who verified these accounts? You have NOT provided me a copy of ANY original documentation ( a consumer contract with my signature on it ) as required under Section 609 ( a ) ( 1 ) ( A ) & Section 611 ( a ) ( 1 ) ( A ). Furthermore you 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 you are required to promptly DELETE all information which can not be verified. 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. I am a litigious consumer and fully intend on pursuing litigation in this matter to enforce my rights under the FCRA. There are three of the same items on each credit report that has not been removed. they are in violation of the law and have refused to removed those items even after being made aware of their violation. they do not have any documents on file with my original signature as verification of my alleged debt and they have not sent me any copies as proof. XXXX XXXX has already removed ( XXXX XXXX XXXX ) because they were in Violation of the law. They are in the process of removing the rest. Comply with the law. This will be used as a record against you in court.
