Issue: Incorrect information on your report
Sub-issue: Account information incorrect

Complaint:
I disputed my consumer report with XXXX, XXXX and Equifax through certified mail. I received my investigation results in the mail and all the information I disputed was STILL inaccurate AND incomplete. I called XXXX today ( XX/XX/2023 ) and the woman with XXXX was very rude and did not want to hear anything I had to say about inaccuracies. I requested that I be sent proof of the procedures they used to investigate my dispute in a separate communication and upon continuing to argue with me, she hung up on me before the problem was resolved. 

It is to my understanding that by law, when being disputed, these consumer reporting agencies are supposed to put in the comments of each account on my consumer report that " this account is in dispute and are being investigated ''. Only Equifax did that on their report. XXXX and XXXX never put that in any of the comment section ( s ) of any of the accounts in question. Payment History is inaccurate for each account amongst all three credit reporting agencies ( XXXX, Equifax, XXXX ). The furnishers on my credit report have not responded to me about charge-offs and they've never sent me 1099-C forms. I believe the companies at hand are committing tax fraud. Multiple furnishers do not even have permission to report my consumer report. I have requested to be opted out of such reporting and to please give me the necessary documents to opt out of them reporting to these agencies asap. 

15 U.S Code 1681a ( 2 ) ( A ) ( i ) suggests that transaction ( late payments ) and experiences ( utilizations ) are to be excluded from consumer reports. We, the consumers, are entitled to privacy and 100 % complete accuracy. I believe these third part agencies ( XXXX, Equifax, XXXX ) are failing to protect our privacy and personal information. I never gave them or anyone furnishing information on my consumer reports permission to share my information with anyone. All of my negative accounts, late payments, and utilization needs to be deleted at once amongst all credit reporting agencies ( XXXX, XXXX, Equifax ). Multiple Hard Inquiries are on my consumer reports without my consent and after disputing are still not being taken off. 

Furnishers of my personal information such as XXXX XXXX XXXX, XXXX XXXX XXXX, XXXX XXXX XXXX, XXXX XXXXXXXX, XXXX XXXX XXXXXXXX, XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX  XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX, XXXX XXXX XXXX, XXXX XXXX XXXX, XXXX XXXX XXXX and XXXX are reporting without my consent. 

XXXX, Equifax, and XXXX are failing to verify accurately and to uphold their standards of accuracy. They are negatively impacting the livelihood of countless consumers and should be held accountable for the incredible amount of damage they are doing. They fail to realize that us consumers are the ultimate furnishers of information.
