Issue: Problem with a company's investigation into an existing problem — Their investigation did not fix an error on your report
Company: EQUIFAX, INC. (TX)

I am reaching out to address the continued verification of inaccurate information on my credit report. The attached letters clearly show that the information is not correct, yet your agency has not updated or removed the false data and continues to report it as accurate.

This failure to correct the errors violates the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ), specifically 15 U.S.C. 1681i, which requires you to conduct a proper investigation and correct any inaccuracies. I ask that you promptly reinvestigate and either correct or remove this inaccurate information from my report.

On XXXX, I submitted a request to block items on my consumer report as I am a victim of identity theft. This was not a dispute, however, the FCRA has chosen to forgo Federal regulation and apply their company policy to treat this as a dispute. In fact, when I called them, they stated that their policy supersedes Federal law ( which states ) ( a ) Block A consumer reporting agency should block the reporting of any information in the file of a consumer that the consumer identifies as information that resulted from alleged identity theft, not later than 4 business days after the date receipt by such agency of- ( 1 ) appropriate proof of the identity of the consumer ; ( 2 ) a copy of an identity theft report, ( 3 ) the identification of such information by the consumer, and ( 4 ) a statement by the consumer that the information is not information relating to any transaction by the consumer. I submitted proof that my social security number, fingerprints, birthdate, addresses, and other identifying information were affected by the XXXX OPM data breach as well as Equifax 's XXXX data breach. I submitted all the required documents per 15usc1681c and yet the CRA has failed to block this information and it has been over 4 days. Again, this is NOT A DISPUTE.

Despite my previous three written requests, the unverified items listed below still remain on my credit report in violation of Federal Law. In their responses to my dispute letters, they stated that they have verified the items listed as accurate but failed to send me copies of the documents used to verify these accounts, as per my request.

Their failure to provide these documents indicates that they can not and did not verify any of the disputed accounts as claimed. Furthermore, their failure to delete the disputed accounts that they can not verify after three written requests demonstrates a willful disregard of Federal Law.

Please review the attached letter. Thank you for your assistance.

I am writing to formally request the removal of several unauthorized accounts and inquiries from my credit report. These accounts and inquiries are not associated with me, and I did not authorize their inclusion on my report. The presence of these inaccuracies is the result of a data breach that has adversely affected my credit standing, leading to a significant drop in my FICO score.

Upon a thorough review of my credit report, I identified multiple accounts and inquiries that I do not recognize or authorize. These inaccuracies have led to negative remarks on my credit report, which are unjustly damaging my credit score and financial reputation. 

The inclusion of these unauthorized accounts and inquiries has caused considerable stress and concern regarding my financial well-being. It is imperative that my credit report accurately reflects my financial history and activities. Therefore, I request an immediate investigation into these inaccuracies and the prompt removal of all unauthorized accounts and inquiries.

I am writing to file a formal complaint regarding the inaccurate reporting of a late payment on my credit report by credit bureaus. The presence of this late payment inaccurately reflects my payment history, as I have consistently paid my bills on time. This discrepancy constitutes a billing error, violating my rights under the Fair Credit Billing Act, 15 USC 1666B. According to this law, consumers have the right to dispute and seek correction of billing errors, which include inaccuracies in payment reporting.

I am writing to formally dispute the inaccurate reporting of an account listed as " XXXX XXXX XXXX  '' on my Equifax credit report, reported on XX/XX/year>. Although the outstanding balance for this account is now {$0.00} and the status indicates " Transfer, Paid, Sold, '' the payment status continues to show as " Charge-off. '' Under the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ) Section 611, I request an immediate investigation and correction of this information. Furthermore, according to FCRA Section 623, the data furnisher has a duty to ensure that all information reported is accurate and up-to-date. The continued listing of this account as a charge-off payment status is misleading and does not accurately reflect its current status as closed with a {$0.00} balance. Additionally, under FCRA Section 609, I am entitled to access and verify all information contained in my credit report, which supports my claim of inaccuracy.

My accounts was never late! I have had exceptional payment history with XXXX  XXXX and all payments were placed on Autopay. This late payment that is reporting is a result on a systematic error on their end processing my payment. 

This was clearly a billing error made my the company and is not a reflection of my payment experience which violates USC Code 1681eb. This error has caused severe hard to my reputation, my character, my mode of living and to my family!

I demand the late payment reported to be removed/updated.

They are not in compliance with the following law. 15 USC 1666b and its requirements set the standards and the guidance for a creditor to treat a payment as late, yet they are reporting a payment as late and they did not comply with the law!

15 USC 1666b ( a ) Time to make payments A creditor may not treat a payment on a credit card account under an open end consumer credit plan as late for any purpose, unless the creditor has adopted reasonable procedures designed to ensure that each periodic statement including the information required by section 1637 ( b ) of this title is mailed or delivered to the consumer not later than 21 days before the payment due date.

I have requested proof that this information was mailed or delivered 21 days before the payment due date and this information was requested in good faith pursuant rule 1002 and It was never provided. 

This is unfair, illegal, fraudulent, and not equitable to me as a consumer!

It has come to my attention that several accounts have been opened without my permission, and I have unfortunately fallen victim to fraudulent activity. 

In light of these unauthorized account openings, I have taken the necessary steps to report this incident to the authorities by filing a police report and submitting a fraud claim report to the Federal Commission. However, I am reaching out to request your urgent assistance in conducting a thorough investigation into these fraudulent accounts and taking prompt action to delete them from the system. 

The unauthorized opening of these accounts has not only caused me undue stress and concern but has also put my financial security at risk. As such, I urge you to prioritize this matter and make every effort to rectify the situation at the earliest convenience. 

I kindly request that you provide me with regular updates on the progress of the investigation and the status of the accounts in question. Additionally, I would appreciate it if you could provide me with information on any additional steps I should take to safeguard my personal information and prevent any further unauthorized access. 

I trust that you will treat this matter with the urgency and seriousness it deserves and take the necessary actions to resolve it effectively. Thank you in advance for your prompt attention to this issue.
