Company: EQUIFAX, INC. (NC)

Per FCRA. 611. Procedure in case of disputed accuracy [ 15 U.S.C. 1681i ] Complaint Equifax has reinserted the following Accounts and Tradelines onto my credit file without the proper notification. 
XXXX County Case # XXXX, XXXX County Case # XXXX, XXXX XXXX Account # XXXX, XXXX # XXXX, XXXX Account # XXXX, XXXX Account # XXXX, XXXX Account # XXXX XXXX Case # XXXX, XXXX # XXXX, XXXX XXXX XXXX Account XXXX XXXX I spoke with a female representative on XX/XX/2016 at approximately XXXX for over XXXX minutes, at which time I was transferred to the Special Handling department. I advised the representative that many accounts had been removed or deleted from my file to which she said that they were re verified, I proceeded to ask her how that took place and she replied that the tax liens were verified through the courts. I asked her who they speak with and she just repeated " the courts '' I asked for the number and I called the courts directly and spoke to an court clerk and she advised there was no way to prove that someone Equifax had called to verify my alleged accounts. I have spoken to both XXXX County NC Clerk of Court and US Federal Bankruptcy Courts and they both advised there is no record keeping system or verification pertaining to credit investigations from Credit Bureaus. I have yet to receive a definitive answer from either court. So I question the validity and verification process from Equifax. 
I was never given the proper notice on the aforementioned accounts there for my Equifax has denied my right for due process afforded to me under the law. I am demanding that Equifax remove these accounts and tradlelines from my credit file. These injurious actions have lowered my credit scores and there by jeopardizing my ability to secure a mortgage or loan with beneficial interest rates and terms.
