In accordance with the Fair Credit Reporting Act. The List of accounts below has violated my federally protected consumer rights to privacy and confidentiality under 15 USC 1681. 

I told XXXX, XXXX, and Equifax to reinvestigate these accounts : XXXX XXXX # XXXX Date Opened XX/XX/XXXXXXXX  XXXX  Account # XXXX Date Opened XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX # XXXX XX/XX/XXXXXXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXXXXXX XX/XX/XXXX XXXX XXXX # XXXX XX/XX/XXXX. However, they stated everything was complete and accurate. But how is that possible if the open date, date of last activity and much more is incorrect. According to 15 USC 1681i ( 5 ), they are supposed to modify accounts that aren't reporting correctly.

15 U.S.C. 1681s-2 ( A ) ( 1 ) A person shall not furnish any information relating to a consumer to any consumer reporting agency if the person knows or has reasonable cause to believe that the information is inaccurate.

Company: TRANSWORLD SYSTEMS INC (NY)

This is my 2nd complaint. I have requested validation of the alleged debt, not verification, in writing twice. The company is either unwilling or unable to do so. This is a violation of the FDCPA. I have disputed with XXXX. This company continues to report to XXXX which is a violation of the FCRA. They have removed it from XXXX but not XXXX. They have had months since my last complaint to either validate the debt or remove the credit bureau listing. Simply sending a copy of a bill is not enough. This bill goes back to when the utility company was own by a different company. This bill shows service being billed while I had an active account at the same address. This bill has only one number different in the account number. I believe this to be a mistake. A bill does not provide enough information for me to research my own records. There is nothing that proves I ever agreed to be responsible for this alleged debt. I have exhausted my resources and I will be pursuing litigation shortly.

Please read this complaint seriously and see the attached file. It's been such a long time that I have been trying to fix the errors being reported on my credit report, but to no avail. My requests to correct this incorrect information kept getting ignored and I had enough. This has affected all aspects of my life negatively ; it's taking a toll on my mental health that I wouldn't even be able to afford help because of my low credit score due to these errors.

I am XXXX XXXX and I am submitting this complaint myself and there is no third party involved. Despite the multiple previous written requests, the unverified accounts listed below still remain on my credit report in violation of Federal Law. The Equifax Credit Bureau failed to comply with Fair Credit Reporting Act, 15 USC sections 1681i within the time set forth by law and continued reporting of erroneous information which now, given all my attempts to address it directly with the creditor, as willful negligence and non-compliance with federal statutes.

I have been out of the country for 18 months and I come back to not 1 but 2 bankruptcies  on my credit report. I contacted the courts and they told me the same thing they did 18 months ago which was they DO NOT report bankruptcies  to the credit reporting companies. I don't now why these 2 bankruptcies are on my report or who filed them but for the 2nd time I need them to remove it. The removed it before not there are 2 new ones.

Issue: Closing on a mortgage — 
Company: Better Mortgage, Inc. (PA)

I filled out my application to lock in my rate with Better.com on Friday, XX/XX/XXXX. In my application, I mention that I need to close on my home by XX/XX/XXXX. Better.com asks me to put down a payment of {$550.00} so an appraiser can assess my home. At this point, they know that I want to close the home on or before XX/XX/XXXX. 

After I pay the money, Better.com assigns me certain tasks to complete and assigns an agent by the name of XXXX XXXX. XXXX emails and texts me, at which point I ask her to call me since her communication was unclear. On the phone and subsequently on the texts, she mentions that Better can not close on my home by XX/XX/XXXX. I tell her that it was unethical of them to charge me {$550.00} knowing fully well that they can't close on my home by my requested date. She offers to refund the money and goes silent after that. 

Another agent by the name of XXXX XXXX reaches out to me on Tuesday, XX/XX/XXXX mentioning that they want to keep my business. He tells me that they can't promise to close by XX/XX/XXXX. I ask him to refund the money. He says he will work on it. 

Later in the evening on XX/XX/XXXX, I receive an email from Better that an appraiser has visited my home. This is beyond unethical. After 2 agents have clearly said that their company can not close by my requested date and have said that they will return me the money that they unethically charged me- they go ahead and send an appraiser anyway. These are unfair and deceptive practices by Better.com and their customers deserve better.

Company: EQUIFAX, INC. (MI)

All throughout XX/XX/year>, I've been disputing incorrect information that appears on my credit reports from all 3 credit bureaus. Ive also tried disputing with the actual collection agency in which the invalid information rests, who goes by XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX on two reports, yet XXXX XXXX XXXX on another. The amounts I am disputing are {$1600.00} and {$4900.00}. Two different amounts, under the same company, yet two different negative impacts. Both amounts which are incorrect, as well as the dates of opened. Hopefully the attached documents provides a clearer understanding. After disputing through the bureaus, the information was not deleted. I then contacted the collection agency, genesis, directly. After providing numerous emails and statements, the representative agreed in my favor that the amounts should be removed within 2 weeks and to call back in two weeks to confirm. Today XX/XX/year>, it has been two weeks so as directed, I contacted the agency, spoke with the same representative, who then directed me to call back in another week as he was busy right now and could not talk at the moment. The run around is frustrating, the debt collection company seems very sketchy, and this incorrect information on my report is a burden and preventing me from purchasing a home of any kind.

On XX/XX/2021 I sent dispute letters to each bureau for investigations into inaccuracies on my consumer report. I am writing to the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau seeking help in matters regarding my consumer report. I have sent letters to XXXX, XXXX and Equifax in reference to this false information several times and have not received a response. I have included in my letters to the bureaus that I have concerns and that they are in violation under 15 US code 1681 and 15 US code 1681 ( b ) ( FCRA ). 
I am aware that they each have 30 days to investigate my disputes and report their findings back to me. At this point I am feeling ignored and taken advantage of. In your definitions 1022.41 regulation ( V ), you clearly state what accuracy ( a ) and integrity ( d ) are. I know that there is a need to insure that consumer reporting agencies exercise their grave responsibilities with fairness, impartiality, and a respect for the consumers right to privacy. My right to privacy has been violated. 
I would like for you to investigate these inaccurate and false accounts on my consumer report and have them removed immediately. Please send an updated consumer report upon completion.
