Ive disputed an account, XXXX, with Equifax numerous times. The account does not belong to me and its reporting in an unlawful way. Its reporting that I have 100 % left to pay on the loan AND 100 % on-time payments AND that the account is charged off and closed. This is inaccurate and misleading credit reporting. This is affecting my credit score and ability to secure loans. This company, Equifax, has been violating my consumer rights for years now. This account needs to be removed. The company, Equifax, only responds stating the account is verified and doesnt provide documentation or update the way it is being reported. UNLAWFUL.

Subject : Formal Complaint and Request for Investigation and Removal of Unauthorized Charge-off. XXXX XXXX I am formally disputing and request the immediate investigation and removal of unauthorized and inaccurately reported charge-off entries by a third-party collection agency on my credit report. These entries have severely affected my financial standing, disqualifying me from securing a home mortgage, an auto loan, and any lines of credit. 
It is critical to highlight that I have never entered any contractual relationship with this collection agency. Their actions to report on my credit without a direct agreement are not only baseless but also infringe upon my consumer rights, constituting a clear violation of multiple legal standards pertaining to credit reporting and consumer privacy : 1. **Unauthorized Reporting** : The reporting of charge-offs, which are essentially certificates of indebtedness that I have never agreed upon, appears on my credit report without my authorization. This action is in direct violation of the principles that govern lawful credit reporting.

2. **Failure to Furnish Form 1099-C** : The collection agency has also failed to provide me with a copy of Form 1099-C concerning the cancellation of debt, which is essential for accurate tax reporting and compliance. This omission has potentially placed me at risk of non-compliance with IRS regulations.

3. **Violation of Privacy Rights** : Under the Privacy Act of 1974 ( 5 U.S. Code 552a ), there is a stringent protection against the unlawful disclosure of personal information. The agency 's action contravenes these legal provisions by disclosing personal financial details without my consent. 
XXXX. **No Contractual Relationship** : As I have never signed any form of agreement with the said agency, their report constitutes a direct infringement on my rights as a consumer. 
XXXX. **Opt-Out Rights** : In accordance with the provisions of 12 CFR 1016.1, 12 CFR 1016.4, and 12 CFR 1016.7 along with 15 USC 6802 ( b ) and 15 USC 6805, I am formally opting out of all authorizations, whether impliedly granted, for sharing or reporting my credit information. 
Given these points, I urge you to act swiftly in investigating these claims and remove the inaccurate charge-off entries from my credit report. I expect a written confirmation of the deletion of these entries. Please understand that I am prepared to take further steps, including legal action, if necessary, to ensure the correction of my credit information and to protect my rights. Thank you for your immediate attention to this serious matter. I look forward to your prompt response and resolution.

XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX. 
XXXX XXXX, MO XXXX XXXX ( XXXX ) XXXX XX/XX/2024 XXXX, Equifax, and XXXX. 

Dear Sir/Madam, I am writing to file a formal complaint regarding fraudulent activity on my credit report. After reviewing my credit report, I have discovered several inaccuracies and fraudulent entries that have severely impacted my credit score and financial standing. 

Upon reviewing my credit report from XXXX, Equifax, and XXXX, dated XX/XX/2024 for XXXX XXXX ( XXXX XXXX XXXX ) account number # XXXX,, I noticed several accounts that I did not authorize or recognize. These accounts include unconsented loans. Furthermore, there have been unauthorized inquiries made on my credit report, which suggests potential identity theft. 

I have taken immediate action to dispute these fraudulent entries by contacting the respective creditors and providing them with the necessary documentation to prove my innocence. However, despite my efforts, these fraudulent accounts remain on my credit report, causing significant distress and hindering my ability to access credit when needed. 

I demand that XXXX, Equifax, XXXX conduct a thorough investigation into these fraudulent entries and take swift action to remove them from my credit report. Additionally, I request that you provide me with a written explanation of the steps taken to rectify this situation and ensure that my credit report accurately reflects my credit history. 

Furthermore, I request access to any information or documentation related to the investigation of these fraudulent activities, as well as any measures taken to prevent similar incidents in the future. 

I expect prompt attention to this matter and a timely resolution to restore the integrity of my credit report. Failure to address this issue promptly will leave me with no choice but to escalate this matter to the relevant regulatory authorities and seek legal recourse. 

Please acknowledge receipt of this complaint and provide me with a timeline for the resolution of this matter. 

Thank you for your prompt attention to this urgent matter. 

Sincerely, XXXX XXXX
