Issue: Incorrect information on your report — Account information incorrect
Company: EQUIFAX, INC. (FL)

I recently discovered that my creditor failed to provide the required XXXX notice before the payment due date, along with the statement that outlines my balance and due amount. This notice period is critical because it ensures that I have adequate time to review my statement, arrange for payment, and avoid any late fees. 

Due to this oversight, I was not given sufficient time to make my payment on time. As a result, the creditor charged me late fees, and it now appears as though I did not pay my bill when, in fact, I was not given the opportunity to do so within the proper timeframe. This situation arose due to the creditor 's failure to follow the proper notification procedures, and it is their mistake that has caused this issue. 

I expect that, given this error, the creditor will rectify the situation by waiving any associated late fees and adjusting my payment record to reflect that this delay was due to their non-compliance with the XXXX notice requirement, not my negligence.

On XX/XX/year>, I contacted XXXX and Equifax regarding XXXX and four ( 4 ) fraudulent accounts that were created under my personal information. I filed a FTC report and affidavit stating same. XXXX agreed to delete three ( 3 ) accounts but stated one ( 1 ) account was being investigated and it would take 90 days before completed. Why? I do not know as I did not open this account. According to XXXX : " If a company that provided disputed information to a credit reporting agency is unable to determine whether the information is true or not, the law requires them to tell the credit reporting company the information could not be verified so that the credit reporting company will stop reporting it. Nonetheless, some companies have argued that if they are unable to determine that the disputed information is false, they are free to tell the consumer reporting company to continue providing the information on reports. 

Thats wrong, as the CFPB and FTCs brief explains. In the FCRA, XXXX put express requirements on companies with respect to information that can not be verified. Those requirements would be meaningless if companies could continue providing unverified information and telling credit reporting companies that they could continue sharing it. 

Based on information above, XXXX can not verify this account and therefore credit reporting agencies should delete same until it can be verified. XXXX and Equifax are refusing to remove this account. XXXX said it does not give any further information to credit bureaus only states " it's under investigation ''. 

Please see attached documentation to all reporting agencies attaching FTC report and affidavit dating all of above.
