Product: Credit reporting, credit repair services, or other personal consumer reports — Credit reporting
Issue: Incorrect information on your report — Information belongs to someone else
Company: EQUIFAX, INC. (FL)

XXXX, XXXX SOC SEC # XXXX DOB XX/XX/XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX, FL XXXX To whom it may concern, I am making a final goodwill attempt to have you clear up this matter. The accounts you sent back verified are entirely inaccurate, incomplete and represent a very serious error in your reporting. Also, be advised that this is my second time contacting you company about this matter in writing. Your company is in violation of 15 U.S.C. 1681. No need for me to go into detail and tell you the law. Your company KNOWS for a fact that you are required under the FCRA to have properly verified the accuracy of an account listed on my credit report with physical documents.

As I am sure that you are well aware, current Federal case law states that, Consumer Reporting Agencies bear grave responsibilities to ensure the accuracy of the accounts they report on and their responsibility must consist of something more than merely  parroting information received from other sources. That basically means that you cant just verify my account by telling me it is verified. Nor can you verify my account by telling me you contacted the creditor and the account I disputed is Verified. This means that IF you cant send me proof of these accounts from YOUR COMPANY, it must come off. 

All in all, you have ignored my request to provided me with the documents that you have in your files that you used to verify the disputed accounts which means that you have NOT verified or you can not verify any of these accounts and under Section 611 ( 5 ) ( A ) of the FCRA you are required to promptly delete all information which can not be verified.

This law is as clear as daylight as to the Civil liability and the remedy available to me for negligent noncompliance ( Section 617 ) if you fail to comply with this Federal Law. I am a litigious consumer and fully intend on pursuing litigation in this matter to enforce my rights under the FCRA. 

I demand the following accounts be verified or deleted immediately : Account Name : XXXX XXXX ACC # XXXX XXXX  XXXX XXXX XXXX ACC # XXXX XXXX ACC # XXXX XXXX XXXX ACC # XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX ACC # XXXX XXXX XXXX ACC # XXXX XXXX XXXX  ACC # XXXX XXXX  ACC # XXXX I will also have your company investigated by the Federal Trade Commission ( see 15 USC 41, et seq. ). I am also maintaining a careful record of my communications with you for the purpose of filing a complaint with the FTC and the Attorney Generals office, should you continue in your non-compliance. I further remind you that, as in Wenger v. Trans Union Corp., No. 95-6445 ( C.D.Cal. Nov. 14, 1995 ), you may be liable for your willful noncompliance. 
Failure to respond satisfactorily within 30 days of receipt of this certified letter will result in a small claims action against your company. I will be seeking {$5000.00} in damages for : 1. ) Defamation 2. ) Negligent Enablement of Identity Fraud 3. ) Violation of the Fair Credit Reporting Act Also, I would like an updated copy of my credit report once this investigation is complete. 
Thank you, XXXX, XXXX SOC SEC # XXXX DOB XX/XX/XXXX XXXX XXXX  XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX, FL XXXX
