Issue: Improper use of your report — Reporting company used your report improperly
Company: EQUIFAX, INC. (OR)

I am writing to address a matter concerning my credit report and the reporting of my account information. 

Pursuant to 15 USC 1681a ( d ) ( 2 ) ( A ), the term " consumer report '' does not include reports containing information solely about transactions or experiences between the consumer and the person making the report. Therefore, I request that you update all late payments and any related transaction information on my credit report to reflect " paid as agreed. '' It is important for my credit history to accurately represent my financial responsibility and the status of my accounts. I believe that reflecting these payments as " paid as agreed '' will better align with the factual nature of my payment history.

I am urgently requesting your immediate attention to a critical matter involving identity theft, which has resulted in multiple fraudulent accounts and unauthorized inquiries being added to my credit report without my knowledge or consent. 

Despite numerous attempts to resolve this issue directly with the credit reporting agencies, I have not received any satisfactory response or corrective action. I have already filed an official identity theft report with the Federal Trade Commission ( FTC ), and I am now requesting the swift removal of these unauthorized items from my credit report. 

There are 2 fraudulent accounts and 5 unauthorized inquiries that must be removed immediately. These items are causing significant damage to my credit profile, and it is crucial that my credit report reflects only accurate and legitimate information, as mandated by the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ), 15 U.S.C. 1681. 

[ ACCOUNTS ] -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 XXXXXX/XX/year> I am requesting the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau ( CFPB ) to take immediate action to ensure these fraudulent items are removed and my credit report is restored to its accurate state.

Thank you for your urgent attention to this matter. I look forward to a prompt resolution.

To do what is fair to me as a consumer, delete and update my credit report as they are reporting inaccurate information that I have made them aware of but still keep reporting! This has caused me multiple denials and mental anguish that I can't even stand. I will not tolerate this anymore and will seek litigation if this is not handled!

I am writing to formally request the removal of an inaccurately reported charged-off account with XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX from my credit report. The account in question is being inaccurately reported in violation of the Internal Revenue Code and Fair Debt Collection Practices Act. According to the Internal Revenue Code, charged-off accounts are considered certificates of indebtedness and should be classified as income. As income can not be reported on a consumer report as a debt, the current reporting of this account constitutes inaccurate and misleading information on my credit report. Additional there are two different amounts listed in collections, which also proves inaccurate information. The specific sections of law that support my claim include : Internal Revenue Code Section 61 ( a ) : This section defines gross income, including income from discharge of indebtedness. A charged-off debt should be reported as income, not as an outstanding debt. Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ) Section 1681s-2 ( a ) ( 1 ) ( B ) : This section mandates that furnishers of information, such as XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX, must not report information that they know or have reasonable cause to believe is inaccurate. Fair Debt Collection Practices Act ( FDCPA ) Section 1692e : This section prohibits false, deceptive, or misleading representations in connection with the collection of any debt. Additionally, I have not received the Form 1099-C, which is required for me to properly remit my taxes for the discharge of this debt. This oversight further emphasizes the inaccuracies in the reporting of this account.

I am continually being called on the telephone by this agency over an alleged debt. I am requesting validation of this debt. This account has been reporting inaccurately. I wanted to dispute this account because of this and it was affecting my credit report. I am having problems with this unfair treatment. I am sure that I settled this account before because it was not mine. This account was taken care of with the original creditor and promised me to update it out of my report. Therefore, this account is unverifiable. This is an error that you need to look into, so please do your investigation on this and remove or delete this account from my credit report.
