It appears that my credit file has been compromised. Again, I was going through my records & noticed many items which do not belong to me. Since Im a stickler for research, I found that under section 605b of the FCRA you are required by law to remove any items which are found to be opened due to identity theft. The dispute items do not belong to me. Im attaching the required FTC Report for you ( learned through more research both parties require ). Please remove these files.

I recently disputed the presence of a late payment on my XXXXXXXX XXXX XXXX account, which has been negatively impacting my credit history. According to the Fair Credit Reporting Act, I have the right to an accurate and fair credit report. After my dispute, the credit bureau was obligated to conduct a reinvestigation into the matter and ensure that any inaccuracies are promptly corrected.

Issue: Problem when making payments — Problem during payment process
Company: EQUIFAX, INC. (NJ)

I noticed a late payment logged against my credit report. I contacted the credit card company and requested the statement for that month. On the statement it shows that payment was made on time. I disputed the late payment with the credit reporting agency for XXXX rounds. On the XXXX round of disputes I provided a copy of the statement which shows that the payment was made on time and it shouldn't be marked as a late payment. I also requested proof of the investigation to show that they contacted the credit card company and it was verified by the bank. I received a letter by the credit bureau marked as verified without providing proof of investigation. The credit bureau ignored the evidence ( bank statement that shows payment was made on time. Even though proof was provided, the credit bureau continues to fail to investigate the matter accurately.

I reviewed my credit report from XXXX  and I saw that you have recently began to report me late on the following accounts : I also stated that I have previous credit reports from the XXXX that reflect my accounts accurately, as paid on time. I explained that I was I never late on the following accounts, and I never received notice as required by the FCRA that you were going to report negative information to my credit file. Furthermore, I stated that I immediately disputed the late payment to the creditors and that they said you verified the late to them. As of the date of this letter I have not received a response to my request. Why are you ignoring me? I will not just forget about it. 

This is my several request to you to correct this in writing. The several attempts by phone were never successful either, as you out source to XXXX and they promise corrections that never happen. I tried numerous times to get my statements from you, but never received them.

XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX RE : Inaccurate Credit Reporting ( 15 USC 1681s2 ) To whom it may concern, I am writing this letter to inform you that I have notified the credit bureaus of misreporting by your company in accordance with the Fair Credit Reporting Act. According to which, as the furnisher of the information in question, you have a grave responsibility of maintaining the accuracy of that information. 

The following account XXXX XXXX XXXX is reporting a balance of {$5700.00} when it is my understanding an reason to believe that because this debt was charged off by you that is was memorialized with a Form 1099C as proof or evidence thereof. And that because of that fact, this debt is cancelled and at least should not reflect the balance that is currently showing of XXXX on my consumer file. 

This would indicate inaccurate reporting on your behalf and therefore is a violation of the FCRA by you the furnisher to continue to report this inaccurate information. Especially with the actual knowledge, notice and confirmation of the errors. 

Please provide me with the return of the time and form as prescribed by regulation or the Secretary of my name, my address, my TIN, the date, and amount of the discharged/charged off debt and any other information as prescribed by the Secretary.

If not, then I would demand that the account be removed from my credit report completely to avoid any legal recourse or action on behalf of myself by retained counsel. 

Thank you for your time and consideration in this matter. I look forward to hearing a favorable reply. Please forward any correspondence or changes to my credit report to the address listed above. 

Regards, XXXX XXXX
