Sub-issue: Investigation took more than 30 days

Complaint:
To Whom It May Concern : I am writing to file a complaint against Equifax, XXXX. XXXX XXXX, XXXX, GA XXXX. 

I have disputed an incorrect negative account that is incorrect / not mine and should NOT be on my credit report. I have tried multiple times to dispute it to be removed, I have sent them letters from the original creditor stated on the account proving they have no data for that account ever existing never the less being mine. 30 Days ago ( XX/XX/2020 ) I sent over a dispute letter with the proof I received by mail from the original alleged creditor so they may remove the account. I have not received my results or any reply by mail to this matter. They are now in violation of my rights and need to be held accountable for causing such hardship. 

Over the past several months, I have tried to resolve this issue, but to no avail. Enclosed is documentation regarding my dealings with Equifax to date. Along with letters from the original creditor stating they have no proof of the negative reported account ever existing. This would mean the bureau had no way to validate this negative item and should have removed it. 

Also the credit reporting agency mentioned above has failed to respond to me with investigation results or removed the item within the allotted 30 day window and is now or very soon to be in violation of my consumer rights. I am requesting your assistance in putting an end to this ridiculous matter. PLEASE ORDER THE CREDIT BUREAU TO DELETE THIS INCORRECT, FALSE ITEM FROM MY CREDIT REPORT. This item has affected me terribly and completely handicapped my life and business. 

Thank you for your assistance.
