Company: EQUIFAX, INC. (TX)

I am writing to bring to your attention the ongoing issue I have been experiencing with attempts to correct late open accounts and remove the associated losses from my records. I have made several attempts to rectify this matter, but unfortunately, the resolution process has been ineffective. 

The accounts in question were opened and despite my best efforts to address the lateness and associated losses promptly, I have encountered multiple obstacles in achieving a satisfactory resolution. This situation has not only caused inconvenience but has also adversely impacted my financial standing. 

I would like to outline the chronology of my attempts to rectify the situation : Initial contact was made with your customer service department to report the late open accounts and request corrections. 

Follow-up communication was initiated to inquire about the status of the correction process. 

Despite previous assurances, no significant progress had been made, prompting further communication and a detailed explanation of the losses incurred due to the delays. 

Additional attempts were made to escalate the matter within your organization, seeking a more expedited resolution. 

Despite these efforts, the issue remains unresolved, and the associated losses continue to impact my financial stability. I believe in fair and transparent business practices, and I am hopeful that your company shares this commitment. 

I kindly request your immediate attention to this matter and a comprehensive review of the circumstances surrounding the late open accounts and associated losses. I expect a timely and satisfactory resolution to be implemented to rectify the inaccuracies in my records. 

If this matter is not addressed promptly, I may have no choice but to escalate the complaint to relevant regulatory bodies and seek legal advice to protect my rights as a consumer. I am asking for your assistance tocorrect thises late open accounts : XXXX  XXXX Balance : {$1800.00} ; XXXX XXXX  XXXX Balance : {$11000.00}.

Company: WINN LAW GROUP, APC (CA)

I received a letter from Winn Law Group that indicated their intent to file a lawsuit for an aggressive collection agency XXXX, XXXX, that only recently obtained an account from XXXX that I had been making small payments on. 

They use excessively aggressive tactics and when I attempted to call them indicating at the time that no law suit had yet been filed they tried to claim I needed to pay the entire debt off or in several large payments, which I indicated I could not do. They showed no respect, courtesy, or flexibility, and demanded I provide them a lot of documentation about my current income. Before this could be gathered I was served with the evidence of the legal summons. 

This company uses very aggressive and threatening tactics, and makes no attempt to first reach individuals with reasonable collection strategies.
