THIS IS NOT A DISPUTE! THIS IS A REQUEST. 
I have attached proof of numerous inaccuracies being documented on Equifax credit report which is harming me and I am questioning the legality of Equifax making changes to old reports from XX/XX/XXXX and prior reports electronically. It makes the whole integrity of the reporting system by Equifax inaccurate and an unethical business practices. 
I am formally demandinging to remove the reinserted/inaccurately reported/unverified ( Method of Verification was not provided by Equifax or XXXX ( Have been requesting since XX/XX/XXXX ) as per my right and request under Section 611 ( a ) ( 7 ). 
XXXX and XXXX had investigated the below accounts and removed them XX/XX/XXXX and XX/XX/XXXX respectively. ( Both reported aged accounts for removal XXXX ) After loan officer informed me Collections back on Equifax I sent XXXX a letter on XX/XX/XXXX requesting deletion which they received on XX/XX/XXXX. I called XXXX on XXXX XXXX as well and I was told they could not connect me with that part of the office. I would need to wait for a review and written response. They just sent me settlement statements for debts I do not owe. 
I have listed the items below : XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXXThe Credit Report I paid Equifax for on XX/XX/XXXX shows no collections reporting XXXX major bureaus. 
The Credit Report I paid XXXX for on XX/XX/XXXX ( same day ) shows XXXX XXXX just under Equifax.

At this point I believe I lost the house I was suppose to close on and was rescheduled for today XXXX XXXX due to all the confusion of an inaccurate reporting system. 

I am respectfully demanding to immediately delete the accounts identified above entirely from Equifax credit report due to the misinformation being furnished, inaccurate reporting and discrepancies and send me a free updated credit report. 
I am a litigious consumer and fully intend on pursuing litigation in this matter to enforce my rights under the FCRA if this matter is not settled ASAP.

My name is XXXX XXXX XXXX and I am sending this request myself to address the inaccuracies on my Credit Reports. 

I have been patiently waiting on their response to the written requests I sent in EQUIFAX. However, any modes of response or coordination were not taken on their end.

Complaint sub-issue: Other problem getting your report or credit score

Approx XX/XX/2021 my ONLY mortgage from TIAA Bank was transferred to XXXX XXXX XXXX. What was unusual was that for the first time in 14 years I was now being issued a brand new account number. I called TIAA to protest the reassignment of my account number and voiced my concern of credit concerns and how it registered with the credit bureaus. I was told its recognized by the credit bureaus and will see no significant changes..Its a bunch of XXXX that I was sold! 

I just checked my XX/XX/XXXX credit report as I do each month from all 3 bureaus. XXXX shows : 1 mortgage account was closed ... This will remain on your account for 10 years ... 
XXXX  details for my score this month shows : : On your previous report you had 1 open mortgage accountnow you have 0, which usually means you closed a mortgage account. This could hurt or harm your credit score. Your total number of open mortgage accounts has decreased by XXXX. ... ..

Well obviously so! My credit score has dropped by 20 points! My score has fluctuated by 2-3 points each month for years. The only other factor was a balance increase of {$1500.00} on 1 cc, commonplace and in the past has led to my score dropping by only a few points.

Credit bureau tips always suggest not to close accounts. More importantly the TIAA rep ****NEVER ADVISED ME THAT THE ACCOUNT WOULD SHOW AS CLOSED. ALSO TIAA PAPERWORK NOTICE STATED THAT THEY WERE TRANSFERRING THE LOAN, NOT CLOSING THE ACCOUNT. THIS WAS MISLEADING AND WILLFULLY LIEING TO THE CLIENTS**** What action is going to be taken by the irresponsibility and negligence of this action by these mortgage companies and practices??? This is not a rhetorical question. WHAT ACTION WILL BE TAKEN? 

By selling off loans, lending companies raise money so they can lend to more prospective buyers. Meanwhile, TIAA and XXXX  have negatively affected my credit! A bunch of liars!!! 

I am livid, angry and frustrated. I hope you take this SERIOUSLY. Ty.

On XX/XX/XXXX, I received a notice of adverse decision from a financial institution made in reliance on an Equifax report. Since then, I have made numerous attempts to contact Equifax ( both online and over the phone ) to receive a copy of the report under the FCRA. Neither their online systems nor automated phone systems are processing the FCRA requests ( i.e., the online system is " unable to deliver [ my ] credit file '' directing me to the automated phone since, which is similarly fruitless ). Despite my repeated attempts ( in some cases involved more than ~40 minutes of hold time ), I have been unable to connect with a live representative about the matter to get this resolved.

I have been sending multiple letters from XX/XX/XXXX to XX/XX/XXXX to the Credit Bureaus, requesting the verification and removal of the fraudulent information I found on my Credit Report. The Credit Bureaus seemed to not fully understand that I want the Fraudulent Items completely removed from my Credit File. I recognize the efforts made by the Credit Bureaus in removing some of the fraudulent items from my Credit but I see here that there are some items that should also be removed as they too are the results of such crime. Once again, I was a victim of Identity Theft and the accounts and items I am disputing were never mine neither authorized be me. I never received any benefits from the theft of my identity. Pursuant of FCRA section 605b, I am formally requesting that the Credit Bureaus include the following fraudulent items to be removed from my Credit report : XXXX, XXXXXXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXXXXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXXXXXX XXXX XXXX Balance Owed : {$0.00} XXXX XXXX Balance Owed : {$0.00} Date Opened : XX/XX/XXXX XXXX XXXX Balance Owed : {$0.00} XXXX XXXX XXXX Balance Owed : {$0.00} Date Opened : XX/XX/XXXX

Complaint sub-issue: Having problems with customer service

Citibank ( studentloan.citibank.com ) online account password requirements do not allow passwords longer than 8 characters. Per NIST guidance, password maximum limit should be at least 64 characters ( and 8 should be the lowest minimum allowed -- not the max, and not for sites containing sensitive data ). I am concerned about the privacy of my information on the Citibank website due to the password limitations. I contacted Citibank over a month ago and asked them to extend the password maximum character limit to a reasonable value, but, so far, they have not done so or indicated that a fix is in progress.

I'm not swayed that Equifax efficiently pleased the principles of the Fair Credit Reporting Act in completing their investigation. Equifax is reporting inaccurate information on the accounts below. Also, I tried contacting the Equifax requesting a complete payment history with this account for me to review the exact date on which the charge-off were posted. Unfortunately, there was no successful resolution provided nor feedback heard from the concerned Bureaus. Per FCRA, reporting must be 100 % accurate or the information must be deleted.

Complaint sub-issue: Card was charged for something you did not purchase with the card

I discovered that there were fraudulent transactions on my account. I had " unusual activity '' checked on my account with PNC Bank for security. The bank never did anything to prevent someone or maybe several criminals from using my account. I never lost or even dropped my bank card. I do not know how they stole the money. I was too upset to add all the money stolen after I realized it was over XXXX. Most of the stealing was done with XXXX online food purchases, and XXXX. All of which I do not have and never did. I do not have XXXX, I do not purchase food online, I do not have XXXX, and I have not been to Maryland or California. I can see the money was stolen in states and restaurants that I never go to or use. If this wasn't unusual activity I do not know what was! I made a police report and a report with the FBI. I placed disputes for all of the money and the bank returned a small portion of it and has a very convoluted and confusing phone process that causes me to get a hold of those that can tell me virtually nothing. In other words, I can not talk to the bank directly about my disputes. I believe that this is done purposely.

Complaint sub-issue: Right to dispute notice not received

On XXXX/XXXX/XXXX I had my bureau information pulled to complete a motorcycle loan. They informed me of a collection account that was added to my XXXX bureau XX/XX/XXXX. On Monday XXXX/XXXX/XXXX I pulled my Free Credit bureau from XXXX and noted that I did have a new unpaid collection from XX/XX/XXXX on my bureau from National Recovery. I needed to get this collection account removed in order to get the best rate on my motorcycle loan. I called the number listed on the collection and they were not able to find a collection in my name. They informed me to contact XXXX to obtain the full account number. I contacted XXXX and entered a formal dispute for this item and indicated I had not received any written notice and I obtained my account number. I called back to the National Recovery unit and offered to pay the collection if they could immediately send me confirmation via Fax or Email that I had paid the debt. They indicated they would not be able to send me confirmation of debt payment immediately and I would instead need to send them a self-addressed stamped envelope to receive a receipt of payment. My account number for the collection was XXXX and my confirmation of payment is XXXX. These practices cause consumer harm. Not having received written notice does not give the consumer the opportunity to dispute a collection prior to it showing up on a credit bureau and then not allowing customers to immediate proof of payment on a collection can result in them having a higher interest rate on loans. A consumer has the most rights to their own information and with today 's technology collection agencies should be required to provide an immediate receipt to customers. National Recovery should be investigated for violations of the Fair Credit Reporting Act for not sending out a written notice prior to entering a collection account on my credit bureau.
