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

A month ago, I sent the XXXX credit bureaus a letter asking them to correct this questionable information, but nothing has changed. I shall take legal action against you because I believe you have not authenticated these things in line with Sections 609 ( a ) ( 1 ) ( A ) and 611 ( a ) ( 1 ) ( A ). This was mentioned in my previous COMPLAINT #, and I included it again. Kindly correct the following accounts : XXXX  XXXX XXXX

I am writing to formally dispute inaccurate information being reported on my credit report regarding a charge-off. The account in question is listed as follows : Creditor Name : XXXX XXXX Account Number : XXXX Date of Charge-Off : XX/XX/year> It has come to my attention that the charge-off is being reported month after month on my payment history, which is incorrect. According to the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ), negative information such as a charge-off should only be reported once, corresponding to the date it was charged off. 
The FCRA requires that credit reporting agencies ensure the accuracy of the information they report ( 15 U.S.C. 1681e ( b ) ). Repeatedly reporting the charge-off each month results in a misleading and inaccurate credit report, which has significantly harmed my credit score. Additionally, the statute of limitations for reporting a charge-off is seven
years from the date of the first delinquency that led to the charge-off ( 15 U.S.C. 1681c ( a ) ( 4 ) ). Continuously reporting this charge-off as a new event each month does not reset the statute of limitations and is improper.

I request that you promptly investigate this account and correct the inaccurate information by removing the repeated entries of the charge-off from my payment history. Please update my credit report accordingly and provide me with a confirmation of these corrections.

XXXX credit bureau continues to report inaccurate information on my credit report. On XX/XX/XXXX a dispute was submitted to request Account XXXX XXXXXXXX XXXX XXXX account status update to closed on XX/XX/XXXX. The creditor correct the information in XX/XX/XXXX. In XX/XX/XXXX XXXX XXXX reported the account status as opened with inaccurate closed date, the account was disputed by myself to credit bureau, the account was corrected and the status was changed to closed/ charge off XX/XX/XXXX.

Fair Credit Reporting Act dictates that every single accusation of debt, be it true or not true it absolutely must be reported accurately, timely, and reported in all deferment/transfer cases. It appears that it can not be determined in irrefutable fact ( as required ) that everyone and all the ACCOUNTS in question were or were not handled properly when they were transferred. I am enacting both my consumer rights lawfully to COMPEL YOU IN WRIT DEMAND to demonstrate all facts and further to inequivalently provide me with written documentation of the deletion of this erroneous information for every one of the unproven or else otherwise not lawfully compliant reporting of accounts, which obviously are in question. Consumer Financial Protection offices ( regarding this unforgivable and extremely injurious error in your clear misreporting of illegal misinformation )! AGAIN, FACT IS that to this date, no entity ( neither the accusers nor you ) has elected to properly and lawfully in truth, accuracy, completeness, timeliness, and otherwise in full reporting compliance ( particularly in XXXX XXXX compliance ) to provide to me, the consumer alleged, even a single or ONE tangible shred of evidence from any much less any of these data furnisher ( s ) of your absolute maximum compliant reporting ( s ). I have indeed made known my concerns of the data providers and you continued potentially unlawful chicanery-based subterfuge in my credit reports as related to these allegations hereby above detailed .I have never received any substantiating verification of irrefutable full truth, accuracy, completeness, timeliness, ownership, responsibility, and compliance to any and all federal obligations and even the XXXX XXXX compliance requirements from anyone even if and when I forwarded written request of information to VALIDATE the account information that your firm reported as miraculously verified, yet without any such proof of this alleged affirmation of facts. I feel it is best to release your reporting this disputed information at once I will have no choice but commence the unpleasantness of a Sections 1024.35 ( Notice of Error ) under Regulation X ( CFPB regulation ) that confirms my private right of action directly against your firm for FAILING to respond and CONTINUING to report disputed information after direct notice of said dispute was provided. You have XXXX  days to comply and provide a written notice of the suspension of this item pending the resolution of the investigation action or face litigation. Here now and forever annul all account records of derogatory, adversary, or else wise deficient of proof of full of reporting compliance ( be it FCBA, FCRA, FDCPA, XXXX XXXX Compliance, or else whether mentioned or not ) claims or aspects of claims associated.

My account with DEPT OF EDUCATION/XXXX 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 in XXXX AND XXXX to be removed. 

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. 

DEPT OF EDUCATIONXXXX never sent the periodic statement along with the disclosures from section 1637 ( b ).

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! 

Delete the late payments from my consumer reports

XXXX XXXX is reporting a late payment on my account for XX/XX/XXXX. That is incorrect. I was approved for an extension which covered XX/XX/XXXX and XX/XX/XXXX. So payment could not have been late for XX/XX/XXXX since extension was in effect. After multiple attempts to figure out why they reported late. I spoke to representative which then told me it was from XX/XX/XXXX payment that was reported. That as well is incorrect. Payment was made 4 days after the due date which i have a grace period to do so. Representative agreed. He said it was reported in error and that i had to dispute it with the credit bureaus to get corrected. He also stated that they would credit the late fee charge that was applied to my account since that was a billing error. I asked if they could correct it on their side since it was their error. He said they couldnt. But that he could provide me with a transaction history to prove my payments were made accurately. I have not received that transaction history. This has been very frustrating because this is severely hurting my credit score. i continue to contact XXXX  to try to get it resolved and they have been no help other than apologizing on their behalf for their error.

Upon reviewing my credit report, I discovered several accounts that I do not recognize and believe to be fraudulent. These accounts appear to be opened without my authorization, and I am deeply concerned about the potential impact on my credit standing and financial well-being. I suspect that I am a victim of identity theft, as I have not initiated or authorized the opening of these accounts. The presence of these unauthorized accounts on my credit report has caused me significant XXXX and uncertainty about the security of my personal information. I have attached a copy of my credit report highlighting the unrecognized accounts for your reference.

I am filing a formal complaint against XXXX, XXXX, and Equifax for their failure to address and remove fraudulent accounts from my credit reports. As a victim of identity theft, I have discovered several accounts on my credit reports that I did not open. Despite my efforts to dispute these accounts directly with the credit bureaus, they remain on my reports, causing significant harm to my credit score and financial standing. 

The fraudulent accounts are as follows : **Closed Account : ** - XXXX XXXX XXXX ) **Collections : ** - XXXX XXXX  ( XXXX ) All XXXX - XXXX XXXX XXXX  ( XXXX ) XXXX & Equifax - XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX ) XXXX & Equifax - XXXX ( XXXX ) XXXX & XXXX - XXXX XXXX XXXX ( XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX ( XXXX ) XXXX - XXXX XXXX  XXXX  ( XXXX ) All XXXX - XXXX XXXX XXXX  XXXX ) XXXX - XXXX ( XXXX ) XXXX - XXXX XXXX ( XXXX ) XXXX & Equifax - XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX ) XXXX & Equifax - XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX ( XXXX ) XXXX & Equifax These credit bureaus are in violation of several federal laws, including : 1. **15 U.S.C. 1692k - Defamation of Character** 2. **Negligent Enhancement of Identity Fraud** 3. **Violation of the Fair Credit Reporting Act** 4. **15 U.S.C. 1681o - Civil Liability for Negligent Non-Compliance** XXXX. XXXX U.S.C. 1681n ( b ) - Civil Liability for Willful Non-Compliance** 6. **15 USC 1692 ( g ) - Failure to Comply with Debt Validation Requirements** 7. **15 U.S.C. 1681b - Permissible Purposes of Consumer Reports** 8. **15 U.S.C. 1681i ( a ) ( 7 ) - Method of Verification** 9. **15 USC 1681a ( 4 ) - Right to Privacy** 10. **15 U.S. Code 1681c - Requirements Relating to Information Contained in Consumer Reports** Additionally, the collection agency involved has not provided the required validation information under 12 CFR 1006.34 ( b ) ( 5 ), yet they placed a collection on my consumer report. I have also not been given the opportunity to dispute the account as required by 12 CFR 1006.34 ( c ) ( 4 ) ( i ).

I am requesting the CFPB 's intervention to ensure that these credit bureaus comply with federal law by investigating and removing these fraudulent accounts from my credit reports immediately. Given the urgency of this matter and the ongoing damage to my credit, I demand that these accounts be blocked and removed within 4 days of receiving this complaint. 

Please find attached my identity theft report.,
