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

On XX/XX/XXXX, I sent the attached letter to the courthouse asking if they report bankruptcies to the credit bureaus, and I received a letter stating " The U.S. Bankruptcy Court has no jurisdiction over credit reporting agencies and does not report to any of the agencies. If this is the case, how do the credit bureaus verify my bankruptcy as 100 % accurate? They never did a fair investigation according to 15 USC 1681.

According to 15 USC 1681 section 603 ( 3 ) ( E ), the term investigative consumer report means a consumer report or portion thereof in which information on a consumers character, general reputation, personal characteristics, or mode of living is obtained through personal interviews with neighbors, friends, or associates of the consumers reported on or with others with whom he is acquainted or whom may have knowledge concerning any such items of information. However, such information shall not include specific factual information on a consumers credit record obtained directly from a creditor of the consumer reporting or from a consumer reporting agency when such information was obtained directly from a creditor of the consumer or from the consumer.

They also violated my rights numerous times. The credit bureaus violated my given rights under 15 U.S.C 1681. According to 15 U.S. C 1681 section 602 A states I have the right to privacy.

In addition, according to 15 U.S.C 1681 Section 604A, Section 2 states a consumer reporting agency can not furnish an account without my written instructions.

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

Please refer to the two bankruptcies cases below, XXXX XXXX Case # XXXX Filed on XX/XX/XXXX CXXXX XXXX  Case # XXXX Filed on XX/XX/XXXX

THERE IS A CHARGE OFF REPORTING ON ALL THREE OF MY CREDIT PROFILES AND THAT CHARGE OFF IS FOR XXXX XXXX XXXXXXXX. MY SOCAIL SECURITY NUMBER WAS FOUND ON THE DARK WEB. I'VE ALSO NOTICED THAT THE STATUE OF LIMITATIONS IS EXPIRED ON THIS ACCOUNT FOR STATE OF IOWA. 

According to the information given to us by the credit bureau, the date of last activity by the original creditor was ( XX/XX/2016 ). The Statue of Limitations on this alleged debt, even should it be ours, is 5 years in the state of ( IOWA ). 
Since the debt is out of the statute of limitations, and you are reporting this on my credit report, you are conducting collection activities on zombie debt. 
I'm sure you are aware of the provisions in the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act ( FDCPA ). 
However, I would like to point out that it violates provisions of the FDCPA by implying that the legal status of the debt is collectible by reporting the alleged debt. 

The exact statute : [ 15 USC 1692e ] ( 2 ) The false representation of -- ( A ) the legal status of the alleged debt and ( B ) any services rendered or compensation which may be lawfullyreceived by any debt collector for the collection of a debt.

Section 604. Permissible purposes of consumer reports The exact statute : [ 15 U.S.C. 1681b ] ( a ) In general. Subject to subsection ( c ), any consumer reporting agency may furnish a consumer report under the following circumstances and no other : ( 1 ) In response to the order of a court having jurisdiction to issue such an order, or a subpoena issued in connection with proceedings before a Federal grand jury.

( 2 ) In accordance with the written instructions of the consumer to whom it relates.

( 3 ) To a person which it has reason to believe ( A ) intends to use the information in connection with a credit transaction involving the consumer on whom the information is to be furnished and involving the extension of credit to, or review or collection of an account of, the consumer ;

I am writing to dispute the account referenced above. I have disputed this account information as inaccurate with you, and you have come back to me and stated you were able to verify this debt. How is this possible? Under the laws of the FDCPA, I have contacted the collection agency myself and have been unable to get them to verify that this is indeed my debt. 

I enclose copies of my requests to the collection agency, asking them to validate my debts, and the receipts showing that I sent these letters certified signature request. This debt is not mine and I was given no evidence of my obligation to pay this debt to this collection agency. 

The FCRA requires you to verify the validity of the item within 30 days. If the validity can not be verified, you are obligated by law to remove the item. There is a clear case of unverified debt here, and I urge you to remove this item before I am forced to take legal action. 

In the event that you can not verify the item pursuant to the FCRA, and you continue to list the disputed item on my credit report I will find it necessary to sue you for actual damages and declaratory relief under the FCRA. According to this regulation, I may sue you in any qualified state or federal court, including small claims court in my area. 

While I prefer not to litigate, I will use the courts as needed to enforce my rights under the FCRA. 

I look forward to an uneventful resolution of this matter. 

Sincerely, XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX  IL XXXX

On ( XX/XX/2023 ) I sent a letter regarding inaccurate Late payments, inaccurate negative accounts, bankruptcies and unknown things on my credit report. To this day over 60 days later I have not received a response yet. feel like i'm being taken advantage of and being ignored of my disputes. Section 611 ( a ) it is plainly stated that failure to investigate these items within 30 days gives a reason to immediately remove those negative items from my credit report as well as correct my late payments as paid on time. It has been over 60 days so they should be corrected promptly. I demand these negative accounts be deleted & correct late payments as paid on time immediately or I will file for litigation due to the stress you caused me. My information was also impacted by the Equifax data breach and may have got into the hands of the wrong person.
