Company: EQUIFAX, INC. (LA)

This dispute involves XXXX XXXX and an inaccurate reporting of my account status to XXXX, XXXX, and Equifax. After challenging the validity of the account I received feedback from XXXX, XXXX, and Equifax which stated that the account was being reported as verified as accurate and updated. After several attempts to get them to verify this information I went through some olf files and was able to find a settlement letter dated XX/XX/2016 stating that the account had in fact been settled. I also found a cancellation of debt which was provided by the company in XX/XX/2016. After the bureaus continued to report the status of this debt as negative, I sent all of this information to them and reached out directly to XXXX XXXX. Their response was that theyd reported all of the information in question correctly and since the bureaus had already reached out that they would not reinvestigate the matter. After receiving the letters XXXX then changed the account status to paid, but allowed all negative payments to that point to remain with the status being FP or " failed to pay ''. This again impacts my ability to purchase a new home, apply for business credit, etc.

I asked specifically which part of the documents were invalid but they could not pinpoint the error. Here are the unauthorized/fraud inquiries that I have disputed with Equifax.

I am writing to you regarding a matter of utmost importance regarding my credit report. I have diligently followed the dispute process for several fraudulent accounts that have been erroneously reported on my credit report, and despite multiple escalations, I have yet to see any satisfactory resolution. 

XXXX XXXX XXXX I have contacted your bureau multiple times regarding their removal. Despite my efforts and your assurance of investigation and resolution, these accounts remain on my credit report, severely impacting my creditworthiness. 

I understand that the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ) requires credit bureaus to investigate and correct inaccurate or fraudulent information within 30 days of receiving a dispute. It has been well beyond this timeframe, and the continued presence of these fraudulent accounts on my credit report is causing me significant financial distress. 

I kindly request an immediate and thorough investigation into these matters, followed by the removal of the fraudulent accounts from my credit report.

I have a XXXX account that fell into collections for the amount of {$2100.00} due to a family tragedy. The original collection agency is Allied Collection Services located in XXXX XXXX. Allied Collection Services transferred or sold this debt to XXXX XXXX. 

I am currently working with XXXX XXXX to settle the debt. However, Allied is still reporting the transferred/sold debt to all three credit bureaus as if I still owe them the money. XXXX is also reporting the debt to all three credit bureaus. Therefore, I have ONE debt listed TWICE on my credit.

At this time I am requesting that Allied Collection Service delete the collection account listed under my social security number from all three credit bureaus, so I may continue working on an amicable solution with XXXX XXXX
