XXXX has inaccurately reported late payments on multiple student loan accounts despite the fact that these accounts were never late, as they were under enrollment deferment, standard deferment, or hardship deferment. According to the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ), 15 U.S.C. 1681s-2 ( a ), furnishers of information to credit reporting agencies, such as XXXX, are required to report accurate information. When I contacted XXXX on multiple occasions to request verification and correction of these inaccuracies, they failed to respond or rectify the errors as required by law. 

Additionally, under 15 U.S.C. 1681i, the credit reporting agencies are obligated to conduct a reasonable investigation when a consumer disputes information on their credit report. Despite my formal requests to Equifax, XXXX, and XXXX to investigate these errors, none of the agencies completed a proper investigation or corrected the inaccurate information.

Company: EQUIFAX, INC. (MI)

I have already sent a letter addressing the inaccuracies and unknown items on my credit report, but unfortunately, I have not received any response even after 30 days. It feels like I'm being taken advantage of and my disputes are being ignored. According to Section 611 ( a ), if these items are not investigated within 30 days, they should be promptly removed from my credit report. Since it has been over 30 days, I expect these accounts to be updated immediately. If not, I will have no choice but to pursue legal action due to the stress this situation has caused me. Additionally, my information was also affected by the Equifax, XXXX, and XXXX data breach, which raises concerns about the security of my personal data.

Not only did I not receive any response from XXXXXXXX XXXX by email, telephone or U.S. postal service within 7-10 days as required by law, when I called cardmember services ( XXXX ) XXXX on XX/XX/XXXX to check on the status of my account, they claimed my identity was " unverified. '' They never sent me notice by email, telephone or XXXX postal service that there was an issue with my identity within XXXX days as required by law. They verified that they have my correct mailing address. They verified that they had my correct SSN and telephone number. 

They state that I have to FAX a copy of my driver 's license and Social Security card to them. As it is XXXX, I off course do not have a landline or fax machine. I am not going to the XXXX  Store to FAX my driver 's license and SSN card to anyone! I properly provided those documents in-person to XXXX upon opening my checking and savings accounts with them in XXXX, and I applied to XXXX XXXX through XXXX XXXX secure mobile app. 
The idea that my identity is unverified is absurd. 

Furthermore, XXXX XXXX refused to furnish the name of the credit reporting agency that gave them the information that my identity is unverified. I believe this is yet another example of XXXX 's failed verification service. As I have an open CFPB claim against XXXX, their continued denial of my existence is retaliation and yet another violation of federal law by XXXX. Additionally as XXXX XXXX is failing to furnish me the name of the CRA that gave them negative credit information, XXXX XXXX is also breaking federal law. I have a legal right to know which CRA is furnishing negative credit information and a right to confront my accuser.
