Complaint sub-issue: Account status incorrect

I am receiving a complaint against XXXX and Equifax. I submitted a complaint on XX/XX/2022 regarding the same issue. The complaint number is XXXX. 

I am outraged that this is XXXX and the complaint is still open and I get an email from the company to elaborate on my complaint this morning.I don't know how much clearer I can get by showing a pictureof the duplicated account that they can't even close and say paid as agreed never late or delete it.I have also called XXXX and told them about this too and yet the representative says they see it but it's still remains on my credit report!! 

I am protected under The Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ) 15 U.S.C. 1681 regulates the consumer credit reporting industry. In general, the FCRA requires that industry to report your consumer credit information in a fair, timely, and accurate manner. Banks and other lenders use this information to make lending decisions. Right now your inaccuracy is harming my credit worthiness! 



I am also protected under the UCCC The Uniform Consumer Credit Code, also known as UCCC, is a guide to state law that governs how lenders treat consumers. 



Its purpose is to protect consumers from predatory lending and minimize misinformation among other regulations. The Uniform Consumer Credit Code is a code of conduct designed to protect consumers from misinformation or fraud that could be caused by creditors or lenders.

In the case of a billing error where the obligor alleges that the creditors billing statement reflects goods not delivered to the obligor or his designee in accordance with the agreement made at the time of the transaction, a creditor may not construe such amount to be correctly shown unless he determines that such goods were actually delivered, mailed, or otherwise sent to the obligor and provides the obligor with a statement of such determination.

After complying with the provisions of this subsection with respect to an alleged billing error, a creditor has no further responsibility under this section if the obligor continues to make substantially the same allegation with respect to such error.

( b ) Billing error For the purpose of this section, a billing error consists of any of the following : ( 1 ) A reflection on a statement of an extension of credit which was not made to the obligor or, if made, was not in the amount reflected on such statement. 
( 2 ) A reflection on a statement of an extension of credit for which the obligor requests additional clarification including documentary evidence thereof.

( 5 ) A computation error or similar error of an accounting nature of the creditor on a statement.

( 6 ) Failure to transmit the statement required under section 1637 ( b ) of this title to the last address of the obligor which has been disclosed to the creditor, unless that address was furnished less than twenty days before the end of the billing cycle for which the statement is required.

( 7 ) Any other error described in regulations of the Bureau.

( c ) Action by creditor to collect amount or any part thereof regarded by obligor to be a billing error For the purposes of this section, action to collect the amount, or any part thereof, indicated by an obligor under paragraph ( 2 ) does not include the sending of statements of account, which may include finance charges on amounts in dispute, to the obligor following written notice from the obligor as specified under subsection ( a ), if ( 1 ) the obligors account is not restricted or closed because of the failure of the obligor to pay the amount indicated under paragraph ( 2 ) of subsection ( a ), and ( 2 ) the creditor indicates the payment of such amount is not required pending the creditors compliance with this section. 
Nothing in this section shall be construed to prohibit any action by a creditor to collect any amount which has not been indicated by the obligor to contain a billing error. 
( d ) Restricting or closing by creditor of account regarded by obligor to contain a billing error Pursuant to regulations of the Bureau, a creditor operating an open end consumer credit plan may not, prior to the sending of the written explanation or clarification required under paragraph ( B ) ( ii ), restrict or close an account with respect to which the obligor has indicated pursuant to subsection ( a ) that he believes such account to contain a billing error solely because of the obligors failure to pay the amount indicated to be in error. Nothing in this subsection shall be deemed to prohibit a creditor from applying against the credit limit on the obligors account the amount indicated to be in error.

( e ) Effect of noncompliance with requirements by creditor Any creditor who fails to comply with the requirements of this section or section 1666a of this title forfeits any right to collect from the obligor the amount indicated by the obligor under paragraph ( 2 ) of subsection ( a ) of this section, and any finance charges thereon, except that the amount required to be forfeited under this subsection may not exceed {$50.00}.
