Equifax refuses to remove an account they have no information on its accuracy. Rather than report correctly. They are inaccurately listing an account they have no knowledge of and they refuse to remove the account. I've been disputing this for almost a year and this has not been notated. I am demanding with enforcement from the CFPB to remove this account after having a year of continual chaotic reporting

I have attempted to make multiple purchases at eligible US based retailers that continue to be declined even though I have a sufficient balance. This has been an ongoing issue where I have to make many attempts and the order will sometimes go through. 
- XXXX order on XX/XX/XXXX  for {$100.00} - XXXX  order on XX/XX/23 for {$210.00} The AMEX customer service representative submitted a payment authorization and told me to wait 24 hours to attempt the XXXX order again but this is very inconvenient and I am not hopeful the issue will be resolved. I also expect this to continue to happen with other merchants.

Beginning on XX/XX/XXXX, I filed a dispute with the credit bureaus. I later sent a letter on XX/XX/XXXX and again on XX/XX/XXXX. i requested that they do a full investigation in regards to these accounts but the incorrect and false information is still showing on my credit report. Section 611 ( a ) says that failure to investigate these items within 30 days gives reason to immediately remove these accounts from my credit report. It has been well over 60 days since I have been going back and forth with them and I feel as of my request is being ignored or overlooked. I am demanding that this accounts be deleted immediately or I will seek legal representation since these accounts are in litigation due to a workman 's comp case.
