I sent Equifax a letter to inform them of identity theft on several items that I found on my credit report. I included the Consumer Fraud Report to the FTC and a police report. 

XXXX account ( XXXX  ) was removed and that was because the company actually requested the removal. 
It is my understanding pursuant to FCRA 605B ( 15 U.S.C. & 1681 c-2 ) which states that these accounts must be removed within 4 Business Days of receipt. 

Equifax FAILED to do so. 

Ive included the original letter sent to them, Police Report, FTC Reports, a copy of credit report of the XXXX accounts, a copy of the personal information with info highlighted, as well as the inquiries with the fraud items highlighted..

I submitted a credit repair request to a company, but they failed to respond within the 30-day timeframe required by law. This failure to respond has negatively impacted my credit and caused difficulties for me.

Issue: Incorrect information on your report — Account status incorrect
Company: Experian Information Solutions Inc. (GA)

On XX/XX/2023, through a credit report, I found out that my down payment of approximately {$14000.00} was misapplied to my loan. It was supposed to be paid forward as 39 months of payments, but was applied incorrectly. XXXX  XXXX XXXX, without any communication whatsoever charged off my account and marked 6 months of payments as being " late, '' when it was their error to begin with. This caused my credit score to drop around XXXX points, which is detrimental as I am trying to apply for a home rental. I am becoming extremely livid with the sluggish pace of the " resolution, '' which has take over a month to even UPDATE the charge-off reversal status. It's been in limbo for OVER A MONTH without official reversal even though it's supposedly been " approved. '' Every representative I speak to acknowledges that it's XXXX  XXXX XXXX 's error, but the issue at hand is not being taken nearly as seriously as it should be, nor is action being taken quickly enough. I'm teetering on the line of whether to seek legal recourse for the issue because of how greatly they've royally screwed up my excellent credit and put me at risk of having my car potentially REPOSSESSED for incorrectly charging-off my auto loan and not even informing me that there was an issue with how the original representative supposedly " fixed '' my initial issue. Oh yeah, that's right they XXXX  it up TWICE, and the second time didn't notify me.
