Complaint:
On XX/XX/XXXX, I wrote to the below creditors requesting an investigation into items that I believed were fraud, inaccurate, and falsely reported. To this date I have not received a response. Not only do I believe this to be a stall tactic on their part to grant an additional 30 days to comply with my original request, but I believe it to be a blatant violation of 15 U.S. Code 1681i - Procedure in case of disputed accuracy. Your credit reporting agency has been reporting inaccurate and incomplete account information to my credit file. I am distressed that these referenced inaccurate accounts are on my credit profile. Your reporting agency has failed to maintain reasonable procedures in your operations to assure maximum possible accuracy in the credit information they report and may be liable under 15 U.S.C. 1692g validation of debt. Also, in Fisher v. Equifax Information Services LLC ( D. Ariz. 2018 ), your reporting agency may be liable for false reporting. Credit reporting laws ensure that bureaus report only 100 % accurate credit information. While these third party collectors attempted to collect a debt that is not mine, they broke 15 U.SXXXX Code 1692k - Civil liability. I am maintaining a careful record of my communications with your agency and the false reporting collectors for the purpose of filing a complaint to the FTC if the non-compliance continues. Like, Wenger v. Trans Union Corp., No. 95-6445 ( C.D.Cal. Nov. 14,1995 ), the below false creditors will be liable for your willful non-compliance. Also, in Fisher v. Equifax Information Services LLC ( D. Ariz. 2018 ), they may be liable for false reporting. I need all my information my my credit profile to be 100 % accurate since im trying to apply for a house soon.

Complaint:
I have contacted XXXX about several accounts including XXXX XXXX XXXX, XXXX  XXXX, and XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX. 

I submitted a dispute for the following report accounts above. XXXX has listed my reporting as late for XXXX when there are no late payments for this account this year. I spoke with an associate for XXXX who said they would remove the account because of a mistake on their end and this is still being reported. I also asked that the XXXX XXXX XXXX be fully investigated and that the documents be sent to me with the original contract from this company. If they could not provide that XXXXXXXX XXXX XXXX needed to be deleted off of my account. XXXX has failed to due an accurate investigation and is still allowing these companies to report inaccurate information on my credit report. According to the FCRA Consumer reporting agencies must correct or delete inaccurate, incomplete, or unverifiable information. Inaccurate, incomplete, or unverifiable information must be removed or corrected, usually within 30 days. However, a consumer reporting agency may continue to report information it has verified as accurate. 

My next step is filing a complaint with the attorney general 's office of Texas. This continues to be an issue and it's against the law what XXXX is doing.

Complaint:
On XX/XX/2023 I sent a letter regarding inaccurate and unknown things on my credit report. To this day over 60 days later I have not received a response yet. I feel like Im being taken advantage of and being ignored of my disputes and concerns. Section 611 ( A ) it is plainly stated that a failure to investigate these items within 30 days gives a reason to immediately remove those items from my credit report. It has been over 60 days so they should be deleted promptly. I demand these accounts be deleted immediately or I will file for litigation due to the stress you caused me. My information was also impacted by the Equifax data breach and may have gotten into the hands of the wrong person.

They did not investigate nor did they respond to me in writing within the 30 Days required by the The FCRA, The Fair Credit Reporting Act, " says that disputes must be answered in 30 days, and bureaus that fail to meet that criteria can be punished. They must at least respond to you in 30 days, and if they fail in that, the disputed item is required to be removed. '' On XX/XX/2023, I sent a certified letter to Equifax stating that they had violated FCRA by not investigating and responding within 30 days of my request to investigate and they must by law now remove All negative items reporting on my credit report. 

On XX/XX/2023 Equifax swiftly responds to my certified letters asking me for more information so that they can investigate my dispute. This letters appears to be a further attempt by Equifax to stall the process of removing inaccurate and negative information from my report as now required by the FCRA.
