Issue: Incorrect information on your report — Information is missing that should be on the report
Company: EQUIFAX, INC. (FL)

I'm contacting you to raise a concern about a potential violation of the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act ( FDCPA ). It appears that there has been a breach in communication guidelines, as mandated by the FDCPA, particularly outlined in 15 U.S. Code 1692c. According to this statute, debt collectors must adhere to specific rules when communicating with consumers. If a consumer formally notifies a debt collector, either in writing or electronically, that they refuse to pay a debt or request that communication cease, the debt collector is obligated to comply. This entails discontinuing all further communication attempts regarding the debt, except in certain circumstances permitted by law. 
These exceptions, as outlined in the FDCPA, include : Informing the consumer that the debt collector will cease further efforts. 
Notifying the consumer that the debt collector or creditor may pursue specific remedies typically invoked in such situations. 
It's crucial to emphasize that, under the FDCPA, requests to cease communication, whether written or electronic, are considered valid upon receipt by the debt collector. 
I kindly ask the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau to investigate this matter and take appropriate action to ensure compliance with FDCPA regulations governing communication practices. Enclosed are relevant documents and details regarding this dispute for your review. 
Additionally, I wish to file a complaint concerning inaccurate reporting by XXXX, one of the major credit reporting agencies, which violates the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ). I've provided documentation highlighting the inaccuracies found on my XXXX credit report dated XX/XX/XXXX.
