Consumer complaint received 2024-09-10
Product: Credit reporting or other personal consumer reports — Credit reporting
Issue: Incorrect information on your report — Account status incorrect
Company: EQUIFAX, INC. (MI)

I am writing to formally dispute the ongoing inaccurate and misleading reporting of an XXXX account, as reported to the major credit reporting agencies ( including but not limited to : XXXX, XXXX, Equifax, and XXXX ). 

The payment history provided by the credit reporting agencies shows XXXX repeatedly reporting " Charge Off '' ( CO ) every month in XXXX and XXXX, despite the account being charged off in XX/XX/XXXX. A charge-off is a one-time event, and continuous monthly reporting distorts the actual history of the account. Under 15 U.S. Code 1681s-2 ( a ) ( 1 ) ( A ), furnishers have a legal obligation to report accurate information, and this repeated reporting is both misleading and damaging. 

In a previous attempt to resolve this matter, XXXX 's response states that the account was charged off, and the balance was written off, yet my report continues to show a past-due amount of {$1600.00}. If the debt has been written off as stated, there should not be an outstanding past-due amount. This contradictory information violates 15 U.S. Code 1681s-2 ( b ), as they are obligated to correct and update inaccurate information upon dispute. 

XXXX acknowledges the ongoing reporting of this disputed debt, yet refuses to remove the tradeline despite its inaccurate status. This constitutes defamation, as the continuous reporting of incorrect information tarnishes my financial standing, leading to denials of credit and financial harm. Under 15 U.S. Code 1681n, you are to be held liable for willful noncompliance with the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ), and Discovers negligent actions have defamed my credit reputation. 

While XXXX claims that the matter has been " thoroughly investigated, '' the continued reporting of false and conflicting information demonstrates otherwise. Under 15 U.S. Code 1681i, they are required to properly reinvestigate a dispute and correct any errors. 

Therefore, I am requesting the immediate deletion of this erroneous tradeline from my credit reports with all credit reporting agencies. In addition, given the unlawful, negligent, defamatory, and willful actions and practices of XXXX, XXXX, Equifax, XXXX, XXXX, and all other persons/companies involved in the reporting of this account, I request a compensation check in the minimum amount of {$1000.00}, payable to XXXX XXXX XXXX for the damages caused to my credit and financial standing under the following laws including but not limited to : 15 U.S. Code 1681n for noncompliance with federal law, 15 U.S. Code 1681o for failing to ensure the accuracy of the information reported which has caused consecutive credit denials and ridiculously high interest rates, 15 U.S. Code 1681i for failure to conduct a reasonable investigation into my disputes, and defamation for willfully and negligently reporting false information that damaged my reputation as a financially responsible and creditworthy person.

On XXXX XXXX, 2022 I contacted XXXX 's fraud department to report the address on XXXX XXXX, XXXX TXas incorrect. The woman from XXXX, refused to have it disputed because it is an address that a creditor, XXXX Bank for a XXXX Credit Card ) submitted. She explained that her job is to report what the creditor tells her and that XXXX does not work for the consumer. Whatever information the creditor gives XXXX is what XXXX will report. 


I have never lived in XXXX Texas but XXXX Refuses to remove it I have submitted a dispute for this XXXX  Account Every month for the past 5 months and XXXX will not remove it. I have a letter from XXXX Explaining that this account will not affect me or show up on my report but XXXX continues to report it. 


How can I hold XXXX accountable when their employees are confirming they will only submit what the creditor says?

" The Fair Credit Reporting Act ( 15 U.S. Code 1681 ) says ( 1 ) The banking system is dependent upon fair and accurate credit reporting. Inaccurate credit reports directly impair the efficiency of the banking system, and unfair credit reporting methods undermine the public confidence which is essential to the continued functioning of the banking system.

So whenever there is a violation under the FCRA, it impairs the efficiency of the banking system. This is a violation of TILA US Code 1666B since I was never late.

I recently reviewed my consumer report and noticed an incorrect late payment record on my XXXX XXXX account [ XXXX ]. I have always maintained timely payments on this account. Under the Fair Credit Billing Act ( FCBA ) and the Truth in Lending Act ( TILA ), creditors are required to accurately report consumer transactions and provide a mechanism for correcting errors in a timely manner. Please conduct an investigation into this matter, and if you can not provide documentary evidence of these supposed late payments, I demand these payments to be updated to on time as they should be as I was NEVER late. I expect these updates to be made promptly, in compliance with the law.

I am writing to address the ongoing issue concerning inaccurate information within my credit file, specifically related to accounts associated with your company. This matter is of great concern to me, and despite my previous attempts to rectify it, the situation has not been resolved satisfactorily. I have sent a total of six previous letters to your company, all via certified mail. Please find the attached receipts for the certified mail with the following tracking numbers : XXXX. These receipts confirm the delivery of my requests for the removal of inaccurate information from my credit file. I would like to draw your attention to 15 U.S. Code 1681c2, which states that it is a crime to threaten a lawsuit with no intention of pursuing it. Rest assured, my intention is sincere, and I am prepared to take legal action if necessary. Despite my previous efforts, your company has failed to conduct a proper investigation into the inaccuracies on my credit report, as required by the Fair Credit Reporting Act. My previous letters clearly outlined the reasons for my dispute, and these concerns are far from frivolous. This final request serves as a last opportunity for your company to rectify this matter. I expect a thorough investigation into the accounts in question, and I request that you provide me with documented proof of this investigation. Failure to comply will leave me with no choice but to file a civil suit in my county for damages. I take the accuracy of my credit report seriously, and the lack of professionalism and assistance from your company has been deeply disappointing. I am well aware of my rights under the Fair Credit Reporting Act, and I am prepared to pursue them to the fullest extent of the law. I anticipate your prompt response and the resolution of this matter. If I do not receive a satisfactory reply within 30 days, I will have no choice but to pursue legal action.

On XXXX I submitted a request to block items on my consumer report as I am a victim of identity theft. This was not a dispute, however, the FCRA has chosen to forgo Federal regulation and apply their company policy to treat this as a dispute. In fact, when I called them, they stated that their policy supersedes Federal law ( which states ) ( a ) Block A consumer reporting agency should block the reporting of any information in the file of a consumer that the consumer identifies as information that resulted from alleged identity theft, not later than 4 business days after the date receipt by such agency of- ( 1 ) appropriate proof of the identity of the consumer ; ( 2 ) a copy of an identity theft report, ( 3 ) the identification of such information by the consumer, and ( 4 ) a statement by the consumer that the information is not information relating to any transaction by the consumer. I submitted proof that my social security number, fingerprints, birthdate, addresses, and other identifying information were affected by the XXXX OPM data breach as well as XXXX 's XXXX data breach. I submitted all the required documents per 15usc1681c and yet the CRA has failed to block this information and it has been over 4 days. Again, this is NOT A DISPUTE.
