Company: EQUIFAX, INC. (GA)

I sent an initial dispute regarding a bankruptcy reporting on my credit report which I stated is a violation of my consumer rights as outlined under the FCRA, as it is a violation of my right to privacy as granted under the law. The company responded by saying that they verified with XXXX XXXX which was not the point of my dispute. Furthermore, the company lied because I have my official report from XXXX XXXX and no bankruptcy is reporting on it so that is considered forgery under the law. Furthermore, they have the US bankruptcy court listed as the furnisher of the account which is also not true, and again forgery because I even contacted the Bankruptcy courts in my state and they sent a letter stating that they do not furnish any information to the credit reporting agencies. Again, under the FCRA, all information on a consumer credit file must be 100 % accurate and since the bankruptcy court is listed as the furnisher when they confirmed that they did not furnis this, it is again violation of my rights and I will be seeking litigation. All evidence wil be attached to this report.

Account Name : XXXX XXXX Account # : XXXX I'm writing to bring to your attention a troubling issue involving XXXX XXXX and the major credit bureaus XXXX XXXX Equifax XXXX and XXXX. It's regarding some inaccurate and unverified charge-off information that's hanging around on my credit report like an unwelcome guest. 

Despite my best efforts, this charge-off account hasn't been adequately backed up with any solid documentation, despite my repeated requests and disputes. According to the Consumer Financial Protection Act ( CFPA ) [ 12 U.S.C. 5511 et seq. ] and the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ) [ 15 U.S.C. 1681 et seq. ], XXXX XXXX and the credit bureaus are obliged to play by the rules. This includes ensuring that any disputed information on my credit report is thoroughly investigated and supported by proper documentation. 

But here 's the kicker every time I've asked for some proof or documentation to back up this charge-off, I've come up empty-handed. And the responses from XXXX, Equifax, and XXXX? They've been pretty vague, just saying the info is " verified, '' without showing me any proof. 

This lack of documentation is more than just frustrating ; it's a clear violation of my rights under the FCRA and CFPA. As a consumer, I have the right to accurate and verifiable information on my credit report. The fact that there's no evidence to back up this charge-off raises serious doubts about its accuracy. 

So, I'm asking no, I'm demanding that this unverified charge-off be taken off my credit report with XXXX, Equifax, and XXXX immediately, in accordance with the FCRA and CFPA. If XXXX XXXX and the credit bureaus don't comply, I'll have no choice but to explore all available legal options to seek redress for the damage this has caused. 

I'm counting on you to help me out here. Let 's get this sorted and put this whole mess behind us. 

Thank you for your prompt attention to this matter. I eagerly await your response and the resolution of this issue. 

Sincerely, XXXX XXXX
