Company: EQUIFAX, INC. (TX)

I have reached out to the ombudsman due to your negligence regarding account XXXX XXXX XXXX. Despite numerous dispute letters and formal complaints submitted to the CFPB, this issue remains unresolved. The attached documentation will show that this account has inconsistent late payments across the credit bureaus. For instance : XXXX bureau report 90 days late, another reports 120 days late, and A third bureau shows no record of a late payment at all. According to the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ), all furnished information must be accurate and consistent across all credit bureaus. This level of discrepancy directly violates these principles. The failure of XXXX Mortgage and the credit reporting agencies to resolve this issue, despite the documentation provided, raises serious concerns about their compliance with the FCRA. In light of the XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX decision by the XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX, furnishers of credit information are legally required to conduct a proper investigation of disputes. Failure to do so could constitute a violation of the FCRA, which entitles me to seek damages under 15 U.S.C. 1681n and 1681o for willful or negligent noncompliance.
