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)

I am writing to express my deep concern and frustration regarding the multiple unsuccessful attempts to remove the " Late Closed '' and " Charge-Off '' entries from my credit file with Credit Bureaus . Despite my persistent efforts and numerous communications, these derogatory entries remain, causing significant distress and jeopardizing my financial standing.

The prolonged delay in addressing this issue is highly concerning, and I find it unacceptable given the urgency and the potential impact on my creditworthiness.

I urgently request the following actions : Immediate and thorough re-investigation into the " Late Closed '' and " Charge-Off '' entries on my credit report.

Transparent communication regarding the steps being taken to identify and remove these inaccurate items.

Swift removal of the " Late Closed '' and " Charge-Off '' entries from my credit report and a confirmation of their removal.

Assurance that my credit report will be accurately updated, reflecting the successful removal of these derogatory entries.

Compensation for the inconvenience, stress, and potential financial impact caused by the delayed resolution and multiple unsuccessful attempts. 

I insist on a resolution within the specified timeframe from the date of this letter. Failure to address this matter promptly will compel me to escalate my complaint through appropriate regulatory channels.
