Issue: Improper use of your report — Reporting company used your report improperly
Company: EQUIFAX, INC. (NY)

In accordance with the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ), XXXX XXXX XXXX, Account # XXXX, and under the account name XXXX XXXX XXXX, has violated my rights on multiple fronts. FCRA Section 602A mandates that consumer reporting agencies must ensure the accuracy of the information they collect, maintain, and report about consumers. However, XXXX XXXX XXXX has failed to comply with this requirement, resulting in misleading and inaccurate information being furnished to creditors and other entities. 

Moreover, under FCRA Section 605B, consumer reporting agencies are strictly prohibited from including medical information in a consumer 's credit report without the consumer 's consent or unless required by law. Despite this safeguard, XXXX XXXX XXXX has included sensitive medical information in my credit report without any legal basis or my permission. This unauthorized disclosure of medical details not only violates my privacy rights but also undermines the fairness and accuracy of my credit report. 

Additionally, under Section 1692g ( b ) of the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act ( FDCPA ), debt collectors such as XXXX XXXX XXXX must cease collection efforts until they provide verification of the debt upon the consumer 's request. Despite my repeated requests for validation of the debt they claim I owe, XXXX XXXX XXXX has continued aggressive collection actions without providing any satisfactory verification. 

These egregious actions by XXXX XXXX XXXX have caused severe financial distress, damage to my reputation, and emotional turmoil. I demand immediate correction of my credit report to remove all inaccuracies, including the unauthorized medical information, cessation of all collection efforts until proper validation of the debt is provided, and compensation for the damages and emotional distress caused by their unlawful conduct.

I was utterly shocked and devastated upon discovering unauthorized credit inquiries made without my knowledge or consent. Despite my efforts to seek clarification from the creditors, they have shamefully failed to provide the necessary information. I demand immediate action and transparency from the creditors. The creditors must provide detailed information on each inquiry, including dates, purposes, and types of credit products involved, furnish relevant application documents, present evidence of explicit authorization for each inquiry, disclose all communication exchanged, share internal records, confirm identity verification measures, and demonstrate compliance with relevant laws.

This late payment that is reporting is a result on a systematic error on their end processing my payment.

Upon conducting a thorough investigation into my credit report, I uncovered several discrepancies that have significantly impacted my mental well-being. The discovery of unverifiable, invalidated, inaccurate, and questionable items has caused me severe distress. It is imperative to emphasize that your agency 's reporting must adhere to the standards set forth by the Fair Credit Reporting Act. 

Under 15 U.S. Code 1681e ( b ) and 15 U.S. Code 1681i ( 5 ), it is explicitly stated that all reported information must be entirely accurate. The presence of these accounts in violation of such statutes raises serious concerns regarding the integrity of my credit report. 

I have attached copies of all correspondence previously sent in an effort to address these issues. It is my expectation that your agency takes immediate action to rectify these inaccuracies and ensures that my credit report reflects only completely verified and accurate information, as mandated by law. 

Thank you for your prompt attention to this matter.

" The Fair Credit Reporting Act ( 15 U.S. Code 1681 ) says ( 1 ) The banking system is dependent upon fair and accurate credit reporting. Inaccurate credit reports directly impair the efficiency of the banking system, and unfair credit reporting methods undermine the public confidence which is essential to the continued functioning of the banking system.

So whenever there is a violation under the FCRA, it impairs the efficiency of the banking system. This is a violation of TILA US Code 1666B since I was never late. 

I recently reviewed my consumer report and noticed an incorrect late payment record on my ( XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXXXXXX ). I have always maintained timely payments on this account. Under the Fair Credit Billing Act ( FCBA ) and the Truth in Lending Act ( TILA ), creditors are required to accurately report consumer transactions and provide a mechanism for correcting errors in a timely manner. Please conduct an investigation into this matter, and if you can not provide documentary evidence of these supposed late payments, I demand these payments to be updated to on time as they should be as I was NEVER late. I expect these updates to be made promptly, in compliance with the law.

I lodged a complaint with these Bureaus a month ago, but unfortunately, the inaccurate information on my report still remains. I haven't received any communication from the Bureaus, except for the notification that you sent stating that the company has responded to my complaint. How can I be certain that they have thoroughly checked the inaccuracies on my report? What methods did they employ to validate the accounts? This whole situation is incredibly frustrating! It's been more than 30 days since I filed a complaint with these Bureaus, and yet the disputed accounts have not been updated. If this continues, I will have no choice but to take legal action due to the immense stress this has caused me. Moreover, I am also concerned about the security of my personal data, as it was affected by the Equifax, XXXX, and XXXX data breach.
