Complaint sub-issue: Their investigation did not fix an error on your report

I have filed 4 complaints against Equifax asking them to provide me with the additional information they went on record on XXXX the XXXX and claimed they had that validated the debt between me and XXXX XXXX XXXX. The attached document ( Equifax XXXX ) is what they keep mailing to me in response to my complaints, There is nothing on that document that is different from the one I submitted in my complaints ( XXXX, XXXX, XXXX, XXXX ) that Equifax said they had the additional information on. Equifax keeps sending me the same identical information that they attached to my dispute resolution on XXXX the XXXX. ( See Equifax dispute 3 ). I want to see this additional information they claim to have. The information they keep mailing to me is not additional information from the original creditor that validated this debt. This is the same exact information that Equifax supplied me on XXXX the XXXX. This debt is not a valid debt and Equifax is lying when they say they have additional information that validates the debt. The SC Attorney General office Consumer Protection division has already opened a fraud investigation against XXXX XXXX XXXX for making up bogus s debts and supply them to the credit bureaus to scam people into paying these debts. I have a legal right to see this addition ( NOT THE SAME BUT ADDITIONAL ) information Equifax claims they have from the original creditor that validated this debt.Read the attached document I received in the mail from them today. This is not additional information that validates this debt. In the part of the document that says additional information there is nothing there. I want to see this additional information. Stop sending me the identical information you sent attached to my dispute resolution on XXXX the second. The information they keep XXXX So far the CFPB once again has taken no action against Equifax even though Equifax is denying me my rights by not showing me this alleged addition information they claim to have.

Complaint sub-issue: Debt is not yours

To Whom It May Concern : Be advised this is not a refusal to pay, but a notice that your claim is disputed and validation is requested. Under the Fair Debt collection Practices Act ( FDCPA ), I have the right to request validation of the debt you say I owe you. I am requesting proof that I am indeed the party you are asking to pay this debt, and there is some contractual obligation that is binding on me to pay this debt.

This is NOT a request for verification or proof of my mailing address, but a request for VALIDATION made pursuant to 15 USC 1692g Sec. 809 ( b ) of the FDCPA. I respectfully request that your offices provide me with competent evidence that I have any legal obligation to pay you. At this time I will also inform you that if your offices have or continue to report invalidated information to any of the three major credit bureaus XXXX XXXX XXXX  XXXX XXXX XXXX, this action might constitute fraud under both federal and state laws. Due to this fact, if any negative mark is found or continues to report on any of my credit reports by your company or the company you represent, I will not hesitate in bringing legal action against you and your client for the following : Violation of the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act and Defamation of Character. 

I am sure your legal staff will agree that non-compliance with this request could put your company in serious legal trouble with the FTC and other state or federal agencies. 
If your offices are able to provide the proper documentation as requested in the following declaration, I will require 30 days to investigate this information and during such time all collection activity must cease and desist. Also, during this validation period, if any action is taken which could be considered detrimental to any of my credit reports, I will consult with legal counsel for suit. This includes any listing of any information to a credit-reporting repository that could be inaccurate or invalidated. If your offices fail to respond to this validation request within 30 days from the date of your receipt, all references to this account must be deleted and completely removed from my credit file and a copy of such deletion request shall be sent to me immediately.

I have sent multiple letters to Equifax ( XX/XX/2021, XX/XX/2021 as well as others ) asking to prove or remove inaccuracies on my credit report. I never received proper validation nor was the errors on the accounts removed. 

Please see attachment for latest letter sent to Equifax.
Complaint sub-issue: Was not notified of investigation status or results

On XX/XX/2021, I sent a letter regarding inaccurate and unknown things on my credit report. To this day, over 30 days later, I have not received a response from the credit bureaus. I feel like I am being taken advantage of and being ignored. In Section 611 ( a ), it clearly states that a failure to investigate those items within 30 days gives a reason to immediately remove those items from my credit report. It has been over 30 days so they should be updated to payed as agreed and all the fraudulent inquiries deleted. I demand that these items are addressed immediately or I will file for litigation due to the stress it has caused me. My information was also impacted by the Equifax Data Breach and may have fallen into the wrong hands.

The FCRA and the FDCPA state that the information reported to our credit file needs to be complete and accurate, however, their more concerned about reporting what the acct subscribers report to them because their getting paid by it as opposed to filing accurate information. 
I reporting errors on my credit file referencing the XXXX Acct. The information n there is inaccurate. I have submitted complaints in the past and they still have not been rectified. This acct needs to be removed from my file. I keep getting a notice from XXXX and Equifax stating that they are not going to look into the information, but your information is flawed and needs to be removed. 
Also on Equifax and XXXX, there's a XXXX XXXX ( Equifax ) and XXXX  ( XXXX ) that's on my credit file that does not belong to me and the information is also incorrect as to what they're reporting on my file.

XXXX, I charged off several accounts with XXXX in XXXX. The company stopped reporting my accounts as charge offs to the credit bureaus in XX/XX/XXXX. However, XXXX started back reporting my accounts as charge offs in XX/XX/XXXX. Also, started reporting duplicate accounts to the credit bureaus in XX/XX/XXXX ; which caused my credit score to drop by over a 100 points. 

I spoke with XXXX XXXX ( XX/XX/XXXX ) Sr Liaison, Credit Executive Office for XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX stated, she would address the problems and their actions may have contributed to my scores dropping. 

As of today, the problem still hasnt been fixed. I have duplicate accounts being reported as charge offs and XXXX still reporting my accounts as charge offs from XXXX.

Complaint sub-issue: Funds not received from closed account

On XX/XX/2021 Citibank closed an account with pending ACH credits totaling at least {$2000.00}. Citibank refuses to confirm the account balance that will be sent as a check and will not completely close the bank account in order to try and collect fees until the account balance is {$0.00} ( basically steal money ). They keep saying the account will be closed in 60 days but the account is already closed since it is restricted. By waiting these 60 days they will try to collect fees such as inactivity or monthly fees in order to steal money.

Time has already passed but up until now, I havent heard any kind of response from the 3Credit Bureaus which made me decide to seek assistance from you. They have shown negligence and an act of refusal of complying with my request. I know for a fact that they are to comply with the Fair Credit Reporting Act law, to provide proof, documents, and give definite and accurate responses, within the given statutory time. However, if they failed to do so, they are obliged to delete the items which are erroneous and unverified. Their unfavorable and unacceptable actions have been hurting my credit scores immensely.

Complaint sub-issue: Problem getting your free annual credit report

REQUEST FOR FREE ANNUAL CREDIT REPORT!!! 
I believe that each consumer reporting agency has invalidated the true spirit of the Fair and Accurate Credit Transactions Act. The Act first established XX/XX/2003 was intended to establish a plan whereas common American citizens could obtain a copy of their credit reports at least once a year free of charge. Since each credit reporting agency now has marketing divisions such as XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX, XXXX XXXX and XXXX  XXXX, the automation system to obtain the free annual reports is looped into an information request to steer citizens into additional product offers that are excessive and unnecessary. Even though I may have received an approval of an updated credit report from either XXXX, XXXX XXXX or Equifax respectively, it is unfair that I need to do a mail request since I can submit my personal information through the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau ( CFPB ) portal. I  believe that since the CFPB is the sole responsible oversight party of the Fair Credit Reporting Act, its imperative that any additional solicitation of information from the credit bureaus should be blocked permanently. I along with any other citizen should receive a free credit report upon request. The credit reporting agencies are an important aspect of the national banking system to properly function, but the current aggressive marketing campaign soliciting citizens for an arbitrary FICO score has gone too far, including but not limited to XXXX  XXXX. We must return to a common ground that is fair for all consumers in the United States, and we must be able to request additional marketing on our own terms. Accordingly, I am making a request for a free credit report with confirmation number to my attached email address. Thank you.
