Company: EQUIFAX, INC. (NY)

On XX/XX/XXXX, the account did not appear on my credit report. However, it unexpectedly reappeared on XX/XX/XXXX, indicating a delinquent balance. This is inaccurate and a violation of the Metro 2 compliance standards. Specifically, there are apparent discrepancies related to the " date of last activity, '' " past due amount, '' and " date of last payment. '' I am writing to formally lodge a complaint against " XXXX XXXX XXXX '' and the Credit Reporting Agencies ( CRAs ) XXXX and Equifax regarding their unacceptable credit reporting practices. Despite my account with XXXX XXXX XXXX being closed in XX/XX/XXXX due to fraud, these entities continue to report the account as active. Furthermore, XXXX refuses to address the issue, asserting that the account complies with the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ). 

I believe this conduct constitutes a breach of the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ), particularly sections 623 ( a ) ( 2 ) and 623 ( a ) ( 5 ). According to Section 623 ( a ) ( 2 ), furnishers must provide accurate information, which they have failed to do in this case. Section 623 ( a ) ( 5 ) mandates that furnishers report the delinquency date to the CRAs, which has been incorrectly handled here. 

Furthermore, this erroneous reporting violates the Consumer Financial Protection Bureaus ( CFPB ) Regulation V, which implements the FCRA and has been disregarded in this instance. Under Regulation V, furnishers must rectify and update inaccurate information, a responsibility they have neglected.

The inaccurate reporting by these entities has had a detrimental impact on my credit history and score. Consequently, it unfairly hampers my ability to access credit and other financial services. XXXX  XXXX XXXX and the CRAs ' ongoing negligence and failure to comply with consumer protection laws and Metro 2 compliance standards are causing significant harm to me.

I am asking for an immediate investigation into this matter by the CFPB. Also, I demand that the CRAs correct my credit report to delete the erroneous information, accurately reflect the status of my account, and ensure future compliance with the FCRA and Metro 2 standards.

XXXX XXXX XXXX has acted in bad faith and has been unjustly enriched because of coercion and undue influence. 

They have failed to provide me any valid proof of indebtedness nor proof that they sent me ANY disclosures required by federal law. 

Your company is violating federal law by knowingly furnishing false credit information without clarifying the billing error. It is impossible to be late on an extension of credit. 

I DID NOT AND DO NOT consent to the furnishing of any negative information to any nonaffiliated third party. Furnishing this false credit information is a violation of federal law and my Right to privacy. The Right to Privacy was declared a fundamental right by the Supreme Court in Puttaswamy v Union of India XXXX 

The consumer credit transaction included a " finance charge '' which under federal law is the sum of all charges in a " credit sale ''. 

Box 5 on their " agreement '' specifically says, " You don't have to pay the finance charge or other amounts that are more than the law allows. This provision prevails over all other parts of this contract and all other acts ". COMPLY WITH YOUR OWN AGREEMENT PROVISIONS. I want to know what law XXXX XXXX XXXX is operating under to coerce $ XXXX from me to get my property back that they stole from me when they said I don't have to pay the finance charge? 

Your company stole my property because of your omission of known facts, false and misleading representations made to me, furnishing false credit information, failure to provide me proper disclosures under the Truth In Lending Act regarding the financed sale, and collections of an extension of credit by extortionate means, constituting a pattern of racketeering activity between XXXX XXXX XXXX, XXXX XXXX, XXXX, Transunion, XXXX, and any other Consumer Reporting Agency you do business with. 

This is my explicit notice that I DO NOT want to and DO NOT AGREE TO pay the finance charge or any other amounts. 

This is my official disaffirmation of the unconsciousable contract they coerced me into. 
I do not consent to your collection of my extension of credit by extortionate means. 

This is my official notice of " rescission '' of the contract of adhesion since XXXX XXXX XXXX deprived me of the opportunity to rescind earlier with proper rescission forms. 

This is my official " opt out '' of having negative information reported to my consumer reports since XXXX XXXX XXXX deprived me of proper " opt out '' forms ''. 

Refer to attachment of XXXX XXXX response to my first CFPB complaint against them where XXXX includes a copy of the " agreement '' and refer to Box 5 of their agreement where it clearly states that provision prevails over all other parts.
