Company: EQUIFAX, INC. (IL)

I am very frustrated that the included information below in my credit profile and that the credit bureaus have failed to maintain reasonable procedures in operations to assure maximum possible accuracy in the credit reports being published. Credit reporting laws ensure that bureaus report only 100 % accurate credit information. Every step must be taken to assure the information reported is completely accurate and correct. Recently I did an investigation on my credit report which caused severe XXXX upon me and found unverifiable, invalidated, inaccurate, and questionable items that your agency didnt make sure were reporting 100 % correct. You are in violation Of 15 U.S. Code 1681i ( 5 ) Removal of Inaccurate/Invalidated Credit Information . Im a natural person my name is XXXX XXXX and the credit bureaus have violated my rights. After any reinvestigation under paragraph ( 1 ) of any information disputed by a consumer, an item of the information is found to be inaccurate or incomplete or can not be verified as accurate, the consumer reporting agency shall ( i ) promptly delete that item of information from the file of the consumer, deleted from the file of the consumer. If you are unable to provide me a copy of verifiable proof within 15 days after your investigation, you must remove the accounts and or the information listed below. Ive sent out dispute letters, and evidence supporting my dispute to resolve any issues. I do not want any of the Credit bureaus to update any more information, they had their chance to verify everything several times and now litigation will come if these items are not deleted!!!!
