Product: Credit reporting or other personal consumer reports — Credit reporting
Issue: Problem with a company's investigation into an existing problem — Their investigation did not fix an error on your report
Company: EQUIFAX, INC. (MO)

Despite my prior attempts to address this issue, I regret to inform you that these incorrect entries remain unresolved. The presence of these late closed and charge-off accounts on my credit report is negatively impacting my creditworthiness and financial health. It is imperative that these errors are corrected immediately. 

To support my claim, I have attached documentation that proves the inaccuracies of these entries, including correspondence and any relevant account statements. 

I request that your team take immediate action to : Investigate and remove the incorrect late closed and charge-off accounts from my credit report. 
Provide a detailed explanation of the root cause of these errors and the steps being taken to prevent such issues in the future. 
Confirm in writing the removal of these incorrect entries from my credit report. 
I understand that resolving such matters can be complex, but the delay in addressing these inaccuracies is unacceptable. Please provide regular updates on the progress of this issue until it is fully resolved. With this, I am asking for your assistance to remove the accounts : 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} - 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. 

3. XXXX XXXX Balance Owed : {$0.00} - I see things may be inaccurate. Start looking at the account name, opening date, and high balance. I believe this information may be inaccurate. Immediate removal of this item is necessary. 

4. XXXX XXXX  XXXX Balance Owed : {$750.00} - This particular account is undoubtedly placed as a charge-off account, make sure you tell me the reason why there is a balance indicating on the statement if its a charge-off. The balance is truly incorrect, if possible, replace it with XXXX or eliminate the item certainly. 

5. XXXX XXXX Balance Owed : {$140.00} - This company has illegally re-aged this account. Please investigate thoroughly and delete for lawful accuracy. 

6. XXXX XXXX XXXX Balance Owed : {$400.00} - XXXX 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. 

7. XXXX XXXX XXXXXXXX Balance Owed : {$1400.00} - XXXX believe this account is reporting inaccurately. I do not recall ever having a legal obligation with this company nor 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 XXXXXXXX  Balance Owed : {$0.00} - The limit to this account was a fraction of the amount due 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.
