Complaint sub-issue: Account status

Equifax continues to report inaccurate information on my credit report in regards to XXXX XXXX XXXX. I have submitted a request for re-investigation with this credit reporting agencies and this is my third attempt to get this inaccurate information removed from my report. There are multiple inaccuracies in this reference to XXXX XXXX XXXX. First, the delinquency data is inaccurate as the date of delinquency was in 2011. Second, the balance owed is inaccurate as the balance is {$510.00}. What is more disconcerting is that this agency is claiming they owe this debt while at the same time another company called XXXX XXXX XXXX states that they own the debt. I have never received anything from the company indicating that they are in possession of this debt. The Fair Credit Reporting Act states that credit bureaus should not report inaccurate information and the Fair Debt Collections Practices Act states that debt collectors may not use " false, deceptive or misleading representation '' to attempt to collect a debt which XXXX XXXX XXXX is currently doing. This inaccurate information has caused adverse actions for me in terms of receiving credit and services. Not to mention, the embarrassment due to being denied credit.

Complaint sub-issue: Problem with statement of dispute

Equifax has a collection account on my credit report. The information is incorrect and I do not owe anything. I filed a dispute with them before and they did not properly investigate the matter. I filed again recently and I am trying to speak with someone from the company. I have call records that show I attempted to call on more than 20 occasions and they keep me on hold for long times and eventually the call is disconnected. When trying to file an online dispute they have a 200 word maximum to describe what happened, that is just not enough to describe what happened and how much damage this is causing. Due to this I was recently denied a student loan ; in the student loan form I was told specifically that the loan was denied due to the XXXX collection account reported on my equifax report. What they are doing is costing me time and money and may prohibit me from going to school to finish the last year of my XXXX XXXX XXXX. The account is charging me for a lease break and a new carpet for my old apartment. I did not break my lease I was evicted. I should not be charge for a new carpet. When I moved in the carpet was already very old. I paid my security deposit and an extra pet deposit when I adopted my dog, and I paid dog rent as well every months. I did not get any of the deposits and after living there for a year with an animal on an already old carpet, they company had to replace the carpet regardless, but I will not pay for them to remodel.

I called XXXX back and was told a law prohibits them from changing a credit reporting and I have to dispute with the credit bureaus. I proceeded to do just that the end of XX/XX/XXXX by sending the payment history received from XXXX with my request. The credit bureaus refused to correct the file giving the reason XXXX is verifying the incorrect reporting as being correct. I placed 3 more disputes there after while continuing to contact XXXX. Nothing was corrected. In XX/XX/XXXX I hired an attorney to assist with this issue. My attorney sent a letter ( attached ) to XXXX ( and ccd all three credit bureaus ) along with the payment history ( attached ) requesting the information be corrected.
