Equifax Information Services LLC XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX, GA XXXX XX/XX/2023 To Whom It May Concern : This letter is a formal statement of concern based on your recent actions. I have in my possession an inaccurate copy of my consumer credit report from the Corporation and your financial agency. This report was lawfully obtained by me, through the declaration of the rights granted to consumers under the Fair Credit Reporting Act. 


The Fair Credit Reporting Act has specific requirement for the accurate reporting of an item when it appears on a consumers credit report.

The Fair Credit Reporting Act specifically details that all items within a consumers credit report must be reported with 100 % accurate information ( not 99.9 % or less ), must be 100 % verifiable ( not 99.9 % or less ), must be 100 % complete information ( not 99.9 % or less ), and must only be reported during the allowable reporting periods as detailed in the Act for the specific item as it appears. Given your previous irrelevant responses and the fact that the above account keeps coming back to me as Verified, you must have proof that it is, in fact, reporting lawfully. So therefore, please provide such proof, as defined by law, in which you must have on file that would assert to the lawful reporting of the above account and that this item does not violate the Fair Credit Reporting Act as detailed above. Please provide proof that the information as contained on the reported trade- line is in fact 100 % Accurate, Complete, Verifiable, AND Timely. Please do not provide some generic print-out or some generic statement as this would insult my intelligence as an educated individual and would further perpetrate the continual acts of wrongdoings by your company as detailed in numerous consumer studies and reports. 



There is clearly already a problem with the system as it is. In fact, one recent consumer study proved that over 79 % of consumer credit reports contain errors. Another report shows that more than 90 % contain errors. Why does your company continue to operate with such low standards of success?

My request as indicated above is lawful and justified. As advised by my counsel, an itemized report detailing that the reporting of this item is not violating my constitutional rights is hereby requested. The continued reporting of this item in its negative state is causing me severe financial and emotional distress. If I must pursue litigation to protect my rights as granted under the Fair Credit Reporting Act, Fair Debt Collection Practices Act, Fair and Accurate Credit Transactions Act, Fair Credit Billing Act, RICO, SSCRA, as well as any other statutes and/or laws that would apply to me and my circumstances, then I am fully prepared and willing to take any and all necessary measures to do so. I formally request the immediate deletions of these items, as it is not complying with the above-mentioned laws and/or acts. 



Your companys continued reporting of this derogatory item will be considered willful non- compliance due to the previous notifications and your continued disregard of the law. A precedent has certainly been set by the flagrant disregard to accuracy as displayed in the consumer study results. So if litigation is necessary a pro-se representation will be prepared, and a formal jury trial will be requested. Please respond in a timely fashion, within 30 days or less, to avoid any unnecessary legal expenses. 



I have filed an attorney general complaint reporting your ignorance in processing this request and greeting your mistakes CORRECTED.
