Issue: Problem with a company's investigation into an existing problem — Their investigation did not fix an error on your report
Company: EQUIFAX, INC. (FL)

When I reviewed my credit report, I discovered that some of the information was erroneous. The 3 credit bureaus must validate these accounts in line with Sections 609 ( a ) ( 1 ) ( A ) and 611 ( a ) ( 1 ) ( A ). It is not authorized to fail to validate these reporting accounts as unverified information without providing any proof within the period allowed by law. The following accounts that need to be investigated and corrected from erroneous reporting in my file are listed on my credit report.

Company: January Technologies, Inc (FL)

XXXX supposedly sold my debt to January Technologies. I have been unable to contact the company for months. The number provided does not work and I do not get any emails, calls, notifications, or proof of debt from the company, but it is derogatory on my credit profile. I sent a letter certified mail requesting a signature, but of course no response. I attached a signature from the company, meaning they received the letter but ignored my request.

Product: Debt collection — Payday loan debt
Issue: Attempts to collect debt not owed — Debt was paid
Company: OneMain Finance Corporation (MO)

I had a loan through One Main Financial that I paid off in full approximately 3 years ago. That One Main account was closed and was no longer appearing on my credit report. It showed up on my credit report about 8 months ago as being paid off but had a {$1.00} balance. 

As of XX/XX/XXXX, One Main started calling me repeatedly which I assumed were sales calls. They did not leave any messages. In XXXX of XXXX, they turned me into the credit bureau as being 30 days late on a loan that has been paid off with no attempts to reach out to me for years. 

I have disputed each month since XX/XX/XXXX through the credit bureaus and they all are removed, but One Main keeps resubmitting me as late 60 days or 90 days late which is ruining my excellent credit score.

They are fraudulently reporting me as owing debt that I do NOT owe. I paid the loan off in good faith when it fell behind 5 months ( due to the loss of my job ), so we worked to come up with a payment I could afford while I was XXXX, then I paid it off within a year. They closed the account, it was removed entirely from my credit report, and then they reopened it without my knowledge and are reporting that I owe a dollar. Not to mention, they repeatedly call my cell phone 4 times a day, on weekends, and use a variety of different numbers. 

I feel like I'm dealing with thugs who are harassing, manipulative, and use Unfair Credit Reporting tactics to get me to contact them and pay money I do not owe.

Inquiry Details : Ask the creditor to provide specific details about the inquiry, such as the date it was made, the purpose of the inquiry and the type of credit product or service associated with the inquiry.

Authorization Documentation : Ask the creditor to provide evidence of your authorization for the inquiry. This could include signed consent forms, agreements, or disclosures that demonstrate you provided permission for the creditor to access your credit report.

Communication Records : Request copies of any correspondence or communication between you and the creditor regarding the inquiry. This may include emails, letters, or notes documenting your interactions with the creditor.

Equifax failed to comply with 15 USC 1681s-2 ( b ). Equifax is civilly liable under 15 USC 1681 ( n ) ( i ) On 5/30/2022 a dispute letter was sent due to inaccurate information being reported and a reinvestigation of the claimed verified information from the furnisher. 

Equifax failed to conduct a reasonable procedure by their own industry standard of Metro 2. Equifax failed the Metro 2 standard requirement to report the full DOFD a ECOA requirement code -37 which is a violation of code. ECOA requires the date of first delinquency to report the month/date/year, not just the month and year as being reported. 

Equifax failed to report the account type as credit card code 18. The account type being reported as charge off/collection which is not an account type. Equifax failed to report consecutive 24 months of payment history. Failing to report May 2021 presents willful noncompliance.

In conclusion, Equifax has failed to conduct a reasonable investigation as required per 15 USC 1681s-2 ( b ) Due to your inaccurate reporting and failure to comply with 15 USC 1681s-2 ( b ), I received damages and harm due with a recent denial for a home loan. Because I was not able to secure a home loan, my family and I moved to temporary housing until I was able to secure permanent housing. My family and I also suffered a loss of days at work and school, moving expenses and losses of utility transfer fees and deposits.

Therefore under 15 USC 1681n Equifax is liable for actual damages, {$1000.00} violation and punitive damages.

I am writing to formally dispute a late payment entry that has appeared on my credit report. The report indicates a late payment in my credit report, which I strongly believe is erroneous and not verified. Throughout my financial history with the financial agencies I am doing business with, I have consistently met all payment deadlines without fail. Therefore, the presence of this late payment is undoubtedly a result of a billing error on the part of the creditor. I request a thorough investigation into this matter to verify the accuracy of the reported late payment and urge for its prompt correction. It is imperative that such inaccuracies are rectified swiftly, as they impact my financial standing and credibility. I have contacted the financial agencies in the last more than 30 days to seek clarification but I got no response because this is erroneously reported for they have provided NO PROOF that there was a REAL late payment. Your immediate attention to this matter is greatly appreciated.
