Issue: Incorrect information on your report — Public record information inaccurate
Company: EQUIFAX, INC. (TX)

I have mailed a notarized Affidavit of Truth to both XXXX XXXX ( see attached ) and The US Department of Education ( see attached ) making it known that no contract exists between me and the corporations XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX and U.S. Department of Education. The affidavit has remained unrebutted. Unrebutted affidavits stand as truth in commerce. XXXX, Equifax, and XXXX have been falsely reporting an alleged debt that does not exist and is not owed o my credit report which has negatively impacted my credit worthiness and reputation.

In a letter dated XX/XX/year> XXXX XXXX addressed the request as per as per the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act ( FDCPA ), 15 U.S.C. 1692 ( G ) Section 809 ( B ), however they failed to provide proof of the original contract with wet ink signature. The document ( see attached ) displays a contract from Federal Direct Stafford/Ford Loan/William D. Ford Federal Direct Loan Program with a typed signature and date. I am questioning the legitimacy of the contract and still have requested the following items from XXXX XXXX : * The amount you claim the Respondent owes you * An explanation showing me how you have computed the amount.

* Copies of any documents that prove I agreed to pay the alleged amount * The identity of the original creditor * Confirmation that the account has not crossed the statute of limitation ( SOL ) period * Evidence that you are a licensed debt collector * Evidence of your license numbers and your registered agent.

* Bond number of the licensed debt collector *Furnish the original contract that shows wet ink signature *Furnish the original contract or security agreement showing repayment of alleged debt I requested not to be contacted by email or phone call as well and was still contacted by them via telephone. 

In a separate letter dated XX/XX/year> I was sent a letter from XXXX XXXX stating the alleged account was 90 days or more past due and an outline of consequences of delinquency during on ramp period. 

In another letter dated XX/XX/year> from XXXX XXXX, they stated that their records indicate that the last scheduled payment has not been received and the account is now 11 or more days past due.

Since my initial letter on XX/XX/year>, I have yet to receive any of the information I demanded from XXXX XXXX. 

On XX/XX/year> I certified mailed a final warning to XXXX XXXX stating that if the unverified accounts were not removed, I would resort to taking legal action as per my rights. 

As a result of all information provided, I demand that all account information and personal information associated with XXXX XXXX be removed and deleted and that they cease reporting to credit bureaus

" I am writing to formally file a complaint regarding unauthorized accounts that persist on my credit report despite my repeated efforts to have them removed. These accounts are causing significant damage to my financial reputation and overall well-being. It is evident that the inclusion of these fraudulent items violates 15 USC 1681b regarding permissible purposes, as the credit bureaus have no legitimate reason to report them without my explicit consent. Please refer to the attached file detailing these items I am disputing.

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 my privacy with my consumer report, since I control what is listed and what is not. In the event that any accounts are reported without my written consent, that is considered identity theft. ''

I lodged a complaint with these Bureaus a month ago, but unfortunately, the inaccurate information on my report still remains. I haven't received any communication from the Bureaus, except for the notification that you sent stating that the company has responded to my complaint. How can I be certain that they have thoroughly checked the inaccuracies on my report? What methods did they employ to validate the accounts? This whole situation is incredibly frustrating! It's been more than 30 days since I filed a complaint with these Bureaus, and yet the disputed accounts have not been updated. If this continues, I will have no choice but to take legal action due to the immense stress this has caused me. Moreover, I am also concerned about the security of my personal data, as it was affected by the XXXX, XXXX, and Transunion data breach.

XXXX XXXX, a debt collection is reporting an account over 7 years from the first missed payment that led to the charge-off from original creditor which was XXXX XXXX. Please see 15 U.S. Code 1681c ( c ) that explains the lawful reporting period. Essentially the statute states that the reporting period is based on the delinquency that precedes collection and charge off. The date opened ( when the collection agency assumed the deb ) does not change the date of the start of the delinquency. Based on the before mentioned statute, this collection was supposed to be removed and no further reporting to the credit reporting agencies as of XX/XX/year>. Transunion, XXXX and XXXX XXXX are both complicit in this false reporting are in violation of 15 U.S. Code 1681s2 - Responsibilities of furnishers of information to consumer reporting agencies. 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.

I am writing to formally dispute the collection account reported by XXXX XXXX XXXX on my TransUnion credit report, with a balance of {$110.00}. This account, reported as opened on XX/XX/year>, and listed under the original creditor as " XXXX XXXX  XXXX, '' does not belong to me and should be deleted from my credit report. This same account was previously disputed and subsequently deleted from my XXXX and XXXX credit reports after they conducted their investigations. The fact that this account does not belong to me has already been acknowledged by XXXX other major credit reporting agencies, further proving that this information is inaccurate. Under the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ), specifically 15 U.S.C. 1681i ( a ), I have the right to dispute any inaccurate or incomplete information on my credit report. TransUnion is legally obligated to conduct a reasonable investigation into the dispute. If the information is found to be inaccurate, incomplete, or unverifiable, it must be promptly deleted. Given that this account has already been deleted from my XXXX and XXXX reports, the accuracy and legitimacy of this information are clearly in question. Furthermore, under 15 U.S.C. 1681e ( b ), credit reporting agencies are required to follow reasonable procedures to assure maximum possible accuracy of the information they report. The continued presence of this erroneous account on my TransUnion report, despite its removal from XXXX and XXXX, suggests a failure to meet this standard of accuracy. Additionally, under 15 U.S.C. 1681s-2 ( a ), furnishers of information, such as XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX have a duty to report accurate information. The fact that this account was removed from the other credit reports indicates that XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX have violated its obligation to provide accurate information to TransUnion. Given these strong legal defenses, I respectfully request that TransUnion delete this account from my credit report immediately. The continued presence of this incorrect information is damaging and must be rectified without delay. 
Please provide written confirmation that this account has been deleted from my credit report. Thank you for your prompt attention to this matter.

RE : Late Payment Improperly Reported- I XXXX XXXX have a RIGHT TO PRIVACY under 15 USC 1681A ( 4 ) as a federally protected consumer and I know my rights presented under the Fair Credit Reporting Act clearly outlined within 15 USC 1681. 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 my privacy with my consumer report, since I control what is listed and what is not. In the event that any accounts are reported without my written consent, that is considered identity theft. This is a violation of both 15 U.S. Code 1681b ( 2 ) and 15 U.S. Code 1681c-2. This leads way to civil liability against the credit reporting agency for negligent and willful noncompliance under 15 U.S. Code 1681n and 15 USC 1681o, which allows for {$1000.00} per violation, for account listed without my expressed written consent. I was reviewing my consumer reports and noticed XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX  on my credit report that need be immediately updated to paid as agreed. My Consumer rights have been violated by XXXX, XXXX, Equifax. XXXX, XXXX, Equifax has violated my consumer rights and violated federal law. This is multiple attempts to notify you of this erroneous error on the part of your agency. This erroneous late payment is affecting my ability to obtain a loan to save my business from crumbling and also blocking me from the housing that I so desperately need for myself and my family. Please change this to paid as agreed immediately so that I may proceed with my life, or I may be forced to seek legal damages against your agency as I already have sought legal counsel in this more than important matter. Thank you.

I checked my credit report this morning and was shocked to see inaccurate accounts that I have no idea how they got there. I review my credit regularly, and this time, discrepancies just appeared out of nowhere. I even refreshed my browser, thinking it was a glitch, but it wasnt. The errors were still there. Because of this, Im pleading for a thorough review of the documents Ive sent, so I can put this worry behind me for good.
