Company: EQUIFAX, INC. (TX)

**NOTICE : SERVICE OF PROCESS / LAST OPPORTUNITY TO CURE** On XX/XX/year>, EQUIFAX wrongfully and intentionally denied my Regulation V request to block adverse information resulting from XX/XX/XXXX, alleging that I did not provide qualifying victim determination documentation confirming that I am a victim ofXX/XX/XXXX This allegation is false, as the required documentation was submitted both as an attachment to the initial CFPB complaint and via XXXX XXXX through XXXX XXXX Mail. EQUIFAX is avoiding providing written confirmation that they are in fact rejecting the certification I provided, but instead falsely claiming that it was never provided. This appears to be a insurrectionist attempt to circumvent Regulation V, which strictly prohibits EQUIFAX and other CRAs from validating victims ' determination documentation as well as a deliberate display of discrimination against authorized XXXX 's. EQUIFAX, is engaging in deceptive and unfair business practices, which has led to the filing of a claim in XXXX XXXX XXXX for damages caused by it's willful noncompliance. This is EQUIFAX 'S final opportunity to comply with the law amicably. Failure to do so will result in the continuation of legal action and the public disclosure of these wrongful practices.

Company: EQUIFAX, INC. (GA)

My grandfather passed away recently and I have been under a lot of stress. For the first time in years, I missed one payment on a credit card which was the XXXX  card. It was for {$40.00}, and I never would have missed a {$40.00} payment had I not been going through what I was going through personally. I contacted XXXX and Told them about the situation, and promptly paid off the entire balance not just the past payment. They removed the late fee, which now brings my balance to negative {$40.00} or {$40.00} in credit. If you look at my past record of late payments on any of my accounts you will not see any late payments related to any of my credit card accounts. All three of my credit scores went down tremendously due to one late payment. I contacted XXXX and Equifax and provided them with the new balance and the information given by XXXX. However, my credit score has yet to improve. I have been locked out of the XXXX account for the 5th or 6th time, therefore I've had no communication at all from them. This is absolutely ridiculous that that my credit score dropped XXXX points over one late payment and they are so quick to drop your score, yet don't raise it again when you give them proof of what occurred. The credit bureaus are a scam. I also pay a fee every month for experience and have added numerous bills to their boost program, and not one time has my score risen. It is absolutely ridiculous what they do to people, especially those dealing with a close relative that passed away who is already going through a very hard time in their life.

Subject : Complaint Against [ EQUIFAX ] for Repeated Violations of the Fair Credit Reporting Act and Request for Deletion of Inaccurate Account Information Dear Consumer Financial Protection Bureau, I am writing to file a formal complaint against [ EQUIFAX ] for retaining inaccurate account information on my credit report despite multiple violations of the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ), and to request the deletion of the inaccurate account information and legal action against [ EQUIFAX ]. 
Account Information : Creditor Name : XXXX Account Number : XXXX Despite providing clear evidence of the inaccuracies in the above-referenced account and requesting its removal from my credit report, [ EQUIFAX ] has repeatedly failed to comply with the FCRA and has retained the inaccurate account information. This ongoing non-compliance with the law has caused me financial harm and distress.

The violations committed by [ EQUIFAX ] include but are not limited to : - Failure to conduct a proper reinvestigation following multiple disputes - Failure to delete inaccurate information as required by Section 611 ( a ) ( 5 ) ( A ) ( ii ) of the FCRA - Failure to adhere to 15 U.S. Code 1681i ( 5 ) by retaining inaccurate account information I am requesting that the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau investigate this matter and take immediate legal action against [ EQUIFAX ] for its repeated violations of the FCRA. I am also seeking the immediate deletion of the inaccurate account information from my credit report and appropriate measures to ensure that [ EQUIFAX ] upholds its obligations under the law.

Sincerely,
