Company: EQUIFAX, INC.
State: PA
Product: Credit reporting or other personal consumer reports
Sub-product: Credit reporting
Issue: Improper use of your report
Sub-issue: Reporting company used your report improperly

Complaint:
This company is violating the Fair credit reporting act by improperly using my credit reports for the accounts stated in the attached dispute letter. 

Those accounts that are being reported are charged off/canceled debt and because they are canceled/charged off, this is now considered a certificate of indebtedness per the IRS Publication. The IRS Clearly defines a charge off/cancelled debt as Gross or Ordinary income, and INCOME DOES NOT GET REPORTED ON A CONSUMER REPORT which in fact makes the reporting of this information inaccurate. Furthermore I was NOT provided with ANY 1099c copies which violates the IRS. A screenshot from the IRS website has been provided. As your company know it is against the law to report any information not proven accurate pursuant to the Fair Credit Reporting Act. I demand that you provide me with concrete evidence of my obligation to said account. Please be aware all negative remarks found on my credit report is a violation of the FCRA and FDCPA when your company can not furnish the validity of the remark. I am not in dispute of the ownership of the accounts so there is no need to " verify '' it, but if your company insists on " verification '' then I request that you mail me a copy of the complete consumer file that you maintain concerning me after you act on this dispute. Note, the term file means all of the information on [ me ] and retained by [ you ] regardless of how the information is stored. 15 U.S.C. 1681a ( g ). Therefore, it is unlawful to send me a partial disclosure and not the entire file. If you verify or deem the item of information that I disputed above as accurate and complete, then I request a description of the procedure used to determine the accuracy or completeness of the information including the business name and address of any furnisher contacted in connection with such information and the telephone number of such furnisher, pursuant to the provisions of 15 U.S.C. 1681i ( a ) ( 6 ) ( B ) ( iii ), in no later than fifteen ( 15 ) days after making such determination. See 15 U.S.C. 1681i ( a ) ( 7 ).

I have disputed with EXPERIAN the accuracy of the account XXXX XXXXXXXX XXXX XXXX  # XXXX and they continue to report it inaccurately which is a clear violation of the Fair Credit Reporting Act. The law is very clear - any inaccurate and incorrect information must be removed from a consumer 's credit file. XXXX has the removal date as being XX/XX/XXXX ( please see attachment ). EXPERIAN has it as XX/XX/XXXX ( please see attachment ), how can this be? There can only be XXXXne accurate date, not two. The information on a consumer credit file must match across ALL reporting agencies or it must be deleted.

Complaint:
Prior to XX/XX/XXXX, Aidvantage reached out to me to let me know that my payments would be beginning. Then I read that XXXX was handling all pslf loans. I have been working towards pslf for YEARS! During the pandemic I applied again for pslf and they finally accepted my past 6 years for working for the XXXX but not my XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX because they say my EIN isn't correct.

I am an XXXX do you know how much free time we have? Then on XX/XX/XXXX I received my first bill. Prior to the pandemic my payments were {$350.00} a month and now they want {$870.00}. What!? It says to apply for refinancing but my payment could increase. Why would I do that? 
Now this week my email said my new servicer will be XXXX What do I do? Who do I contact? How do I dispute my payment and my years working towards pslf? There is literally no one to talk to.
