Issue: Incorrect information on your report — Account status incorrect
Company: EQUIFAX, INC. (GA)

XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX, Ga XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX, Ga XXXX Dear Equifax, Please be advised that this is my THIRD WRITTEN REQUEST and FINAL WARNING that I fully intend to pursue litigation in accordance with the FCRA to enforce my rights and seek relief and recover all monetary damages that I may be entitled to under Section 616 and Section 617 regarding your continued willful and negligent noncompliance.

Despite my previous 2 written requests, the unverified items listed below still remain on my credit report in violation of Federal Law. You stated in your responses to my 2 dispute letters that you have verified that the items listed below are accurate but you failed to send me copies of the documents that you used to verify these accounts as per my request. The fact that you have ignored my request to send me copies of the documents that you used to verify the disputed accounts is evidence that you can not and did not verify any of the disputed accounts like you said you did. Your failure to delete the disputed accounts that you can not verify after two written requests is also evidence of your willful disregard of Federal Law. 

When we go to litigation and through the discovery process you will be required to produce these documents along with an affidavit swearing under oath that these are the true and correct documents that you used to verify the disputed accounts. The fact that you don't have any of the said documents in your files is proof that you did not properly verify the accounts within 30 days as required by law and the Court will order you to delete them.

You say that you have reinvestigated these accounts but you've admitted that all you have done Is parroted information given to you by other sources and shifted the burden back to me to contact the original creditor to verify these accounts which is clearly in violation of 1681 ( a ) ( 4 ).

I also asked you to give me the name of the person in your company who verified the accuracy of these accounts but you ignored this request as well which is another violation of Federal Law and evidence of your willful disregard of the law.

Please be advised that under Section 611 ( 5 ) ( A ) of the FCRA- you are required to " ..promptly DELETE all information which can not be verified. '' I request that you do this immediately.

The law is very clear as to the Civil liability and the remedy available to me ( Section 616 & 617 ) if you fail to comply with Federal Law. I am a litigious consumer and fully intend on pursuing litigation in this matter to enforce my rights under the FCRA.

I demand that you delete all of the accounts listed below immediately. Please provide me with a copy of an updated and corrected credit report showing that these items have been deleted.

Company: BANK OF AMERICA, NATIONAL ASSOCIATION (MN)

I deposited a check in the amount of {$4500.00} on XX/XX/XXXX. The receipt from the atm said my deposit would be available on XX/XX/XXXX. I go a letter in the mail from Bank of America on XX/XX/XXXX which is dated XX/XX/XXXX saying the available date was changed to XX/XX/XXXX and the reason is " a hold was placced on your check because check specific information indicates item may be returned ''. I contacted the bank on XX/XX/XXXX several times to find out what information did they receive that told them the check may be returned and could not get an answer. I called the issuing agency and confirmed the check cleared their bank XXXX on XX/XX/XXXX. So there is no explainable reason for my funds to be held for an extended time past the date originally quoted to me. I demanded to speak to the " risk department '' who put the hold on the funds and could not speak to anyone. spoke to several people claiming to be supervisors who told me there is nothing that can be done. They contacted the other department and my request for release was denied. I the funds were given to me for the sale of my home. this was not a personal check deposit. I also have approximately {$3500.00} a month direct deposited to this account. there is abosolutely no viable reason why they are holding money from me that they already received. I demand immediate refund of my money and interest payments that I have to pay for late payments on other obligations because my funds are not available. I also would like any overdraft fees that I may incur for this unjustified hold.

Company: PENNYMAC LOAN SERVICES, LLC. (TX)

Going back 6 months, I " underpaid '' after Pennymac failed to send updated escrow information. I have repeatedly had to call in and make additional " catch-up '' payments to bring my account current. On the rare occasion I get a statement, there is a late payment notice. On calling yet again, I get the runaround until finally they admit that they applied my new catch-up payments to either principle, or in suspense because of the previous late payment that they " accidentally '' forgot to apply the catch-up payment to rectify. I only find this out a few months late because they don't send statements regularly. In fact, I seem to be late receiving a statement yet again. I have not signed up for any online statements to date.
