Company: EQUIFAX, INC. (MO)

I am writing to express my deep frustration and disappointment regarding the ongoing presence of late closed and charge-off items on my account, despite numerous attempts to have them removed. Regrettably, I must inform you that this is now the fifteenth attempt to address and rectify this issue, yet the problem persists. 

I demand immediate and decisive action to thoroughly investigate these inaccuracies and ensure their complete removal from my account. Additionally, I expect transparent communication regarding the steps being taken to prevent similar occurrences in the future and to restore my trust in your company 's integrity. 

I urge you to prioritize this matter and take all necessary measures to address it promptly. My confidence in your company 's ability to uphold the highest standards of accountability and accuracy depends on your prompt and effective resolution of this issue. With this, I am asking for your assistance to remove these accounts in my credit file : 1. XXXX XXXX Balance Owed : {$0.00} - Please investigate the account name, date of last activity, and account balance. This information seems to be misleading. This will need to be removed pronto. 

2. XXXX XXXX Balance Owed : {$0.00} - I need the following investigated account name, date of last activity, and opening date. I believe this information may be wrong. I need this removed immediately. 

3. XXXX XXXX Balance Owed : {$0.00} - Investigate the way this account is reporting the date of last activity, opening date, and the account name. I believe this information may be inaccurate. I need this account removed NOW. 

4. XXXX XXXX XXXX Balance Owed : {$750.00} - The payment history and status is inaccurate. According to FCRA 's Compliance/Obsolescence date determines when the 7-year reporting period begins for accounts that have been charged-off or placed for collection. Please delete this account immediately. 

5. XXXX XXXX Balance Owed : {$140.00} - I requested an investigation and the removal of the charge-off status. No changes were made. No investigation was conducted at all. You had optimal time to review this matter and make the appropriate corrections, you elected not to. Please remove this item immediately 6. XXXXXXXX  XXXX XXXX Balance Owed : {$400.00} - The limit to this account was a fraction of the amount due it as stated. That is utterly unfathomable! Had a proper investigation been conducted you would have seen the error and corrected it immediately. You failed to do your job ; you must now REMOVE THIS ITEM ALTOGETHER. 

7. XXXX XXXX XXXXXXXX Balance Owed : {$1400.00} - I believe this account is reporting inaccurately. I do not recall ever having a legal obligation with this company nor do I believe one exists. Please provide me with verifiable proof this account belongs to me. I request a signed contract which is the ONLY LEGAL authority that stipulates an agreement. Please remove it. 

8. XXXX XXXX Balance Owed : {$0.00} - This account was showing an inaccurate payment history and payment status. A charge-off should show a XXXX balance. This inaccurate information continues to do harm to my credit. Please provide proof of the last payment. Otherwise, remove this from my file.
