Consumer complaint received 2024-05-03
Product: Credit reporting or other personal consumer reports — Credit reporting
Issue: Incorrect information on your report — Information is missing that should be on the report
Company: EQUIFAX, INC. (FL)

I am writing to file a dispute regarding a debt collection communication violation, which I believe is in violation of the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act ( FDCPA ), enforced by the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau ( CFPB ). 
According to the FDCPA, specifically 15 U.S. Code 1692c, debt collectors are required to adhere to certain guidelines regarding communication with consumers. If a consumer notifies a debt collector in writing or electronically that they refuse to pay a debt or request that the debt collector cease further communication, the debt collector must comply. This includes ceasing all further communication and attempts to communicate with the consumer regarding that debt, except for specific circumstances outlined in the statute.

As outlined in the FDCPA, these exceptions include : Advising the consumer that the debt collector 's further efforts are being terminated.

Notifying the consumer that the debt collector or creditor may invoke specified remedies which are ordinarily invoked by such debt collector or creditor.

It is important to note that under the FDCPA, cease-communication requests sent by the consumer in writing or electronically are considered complete upon receipt by the debt collector.

I respectfully request that the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau investigate this matter and take appropriate action to ensure compliance with the FDCPA regulations regarding communication. I have included relevant documentation and details regarding this dispute for your review.
