As I were trying to apply for a home, I noticed damaging information on my credit report with fraudulent accounts. I have sent numerous letters and called numerous times to have these accounts removed. I even filed TWO FTC reports, and No one has helped me. They told me to contact the creditors and each time I did, I was told to call the credit bureaus. According to 15 U.S.C 1681, there should be no damaging information. It is a defamation of character and It is affecting my ability to do anything. This is affecting my life really badly and I Need this removed Immediately!!!!

My rights as a consumer are being violated with this inaccurate information. I have the right to be treated fairly by those who control it, so please provide me all available details on how they came up short in their responsibilities towards accuracy and compliance! The one thing I won't tolerate is negative information. It doesnt matter if it's certified or not, what matters to me are the facts and truths of anything that may be going on with your company and the data you have concerning my credit profile.The credit report I received is not accurate which surprises me because you should be adhering to the FCRA and applicable XXXX XXXX data field formatting standards.Here 's my challenge for you : Make a document that shows all of the evidence for each claim and send it to me. It should be verified, complete and true! The 2020 CRRG states that any deviation from these standards jeopardizes the integrity of data. This is a serious issue! The integrity of your data could be compromised if these standards aren't followed.The report you sent me is not accurate. I'm unsure if the reporting process was done correctly or whether it's in proper format, so we can't say that your claims are accurate either way. The following claims are controversial and have not been independently verified as true.Please remove any false accounts from my credit report. I am requesting that you take care of this as soon as possible so it does not affect me financially in the future. My credit report is my life. I want only factually accurate, verified and compliant data documented on it!

This is not a duplicate nor is this complaint being filed by a third party, I am filing this complaint myself. Please see this complaint is processed to the letter of the law. 

I submitted a letter to the XXXX and Equifax Credit Burea XX/XX/2022 to update this suspicious information. I think you have not validated this account in accordance with Sections 609 ( a ) ( 1 ) ( A ) and 611 ( a ) ( 1 ) ( A ), and I will pursue legal action against them. This was already included in my prior complaint, and I'm including it again, as required under Section 609 ( a ) ( 1 ) ( A ) Disclosures to consumers [ 15 U.S.C. 1681g ] ( ( a ) Information on file ; sources ; report recipients. XXXX and Equifax shall, upon request, and subject to 610 ( a ) ( 1 ) [ 1681h ], clearly and accurately disclose to the consumer. If the consumer to whom the file relates requests that the first 5 digits of the social security number ( or similar identification number ) of the consumer not be included in the disclosure and the consumer reporting agency has received appropriate proof of the identity of the requester, the consumer reporting agency shall so truncate such number in such disclosure. & Section 611 ( a ) ( 1 ) ( A ) Procedure in case of disputed accuracy [ 15 U.S.C. 1681i ] ( a ) Reinvestigations of Disputed Information. If the completeness or accuracy of any item of information contained in a my file at XXXX and Equifax are disputed by the consumer and the consumer notifies the agency directly, or indirectly through a creditor, the Bureaus shall, free of charge, conduct a reasonable reinvestigation to determine whether the disputed information is inaccurate and record the current status of the disputed information, or delete the item from my file in accordance with paragraph ( 5 ), before the end of the 30-day period beginning on the date on which the agency receives the notice of the dispute from the consumer or creditor.

Company: EQUIFAX, INC. (MI)

Credit reporting agency failed to conduct a proper reinvestigation of disputed information on consumer file per the Fair Credit Reporting Act. 

15 U.S.C. section 1681i section 611. states that reinvestigation is required to be conducted if a consumer disputes any inaccurate, incomplete or unverified item of information contained in a consumer 's file. The law also lays out proper procedures on how to treat said inaccurate, incomplete or unverified information ( Paragraph 5, Subparagraph A ) and also requires the credit reporting agency to provide notice of results of reinvestigation ( Paragraph 6 ). 

A dispute was submitted on XX/XX/2022 to XXXX, Equifax and XXXX and they have yet to provide an adequate notice of results of reinvestigation as it is laid out in The Fair Credit Reporting Act.

Ive been trying to dispute several items on my report but my dispute has been ignored. I am requesting that the Credit Reporting Agencies look into this matter as required to do so under the FCRA. If you do not comply with the terms of the FCRA I will have no choice but consider the possibility of litigation. 

XXXX XXXX Balance Owed : {$0.00} The fact that you are still listing this account as being past due despite the fact that it has been paid in full and has no outstanding amount is a blatant violation of the Fair Credit Reporting Act. I never missed a payment on this account. My records indicate that I never missed a payment on this account, which was paid as agreed. I need you to please either entirely erase the disputed account from this account 's payment history or take care of the late payments. 

XXXX XXXX  XXXX Balance Owed : {$1.00}, XXXX You have done nothing despite my repeated attempts to dispute this account and get the payment history updated. I never made late payments for this account, hence the late payments that are shown in the payment history of the account are false. Please update the payment history as soon as you can by deleting the recorded late payments. 

XXXX  XXXX XXXX Balance Owed : {$1100.00} This statement was never late and never will be. I've tried to ask you to alter the payment history since you are putting false and inaccurate information about me on my credit record. I ask that you stop reporting late payments on this account and only provide truthful information going forward. The FCRA requires proper credit reporting.
