Issue: Disclosure verification of debt
Sub-issue: Not given enough info to verify debt

Complaint: Pinnacle Credit Services is refusing to verify the account. I was sent that the dispute was " Frivolous '' and they do not have to respond to the credit dispute that was sent. Upon calling the company another company named XXXX has the account. Pinnacle reports to the Bureau and diversified handles the account. 
I tried to do a " Pay for Delete '' offer and XXXX will not address the offer by saying they just show the account " paid '' and do not report to the agencies. Pinnacle does the reporting to the Credit Bureau. 
I tried calling Pinnacle Back and they keep transferring me to XXXX by saying they only have the creditor name and my name for the account. 
XXXX is not verifying or addressing my debt and will not let me remove this debt from my credit report.

Consumer complaint received 01/13/2017 about Credit reporting () with EQUIFAX, INC. (NJ).
Issue: Incorrect information on credit report
Sub-issue: Account status

Complaint: I had an account in collections with XXXX XXXX XXXX. I paid this account off as of XX/XX/XXXX. I saw this was still being listed as an open, negligent account on Equifax and started the Process of disputing the information as of XX/XX/XXXX. ( original dispute # XXXX ). On XX/XX/XXXX Equifax closed the dispute and did not update the information and stated that XXXX was validating the information on my report. I spoke to XXXX many times to confirm the account was in fact paid in full and they have sent multiple letters stating the account is resolved. I am in the process of trying to purchase my first home and this is still an ongoing issue. I opened another dispute on XX/XX/XXXX, ( XXXX ) and on XX/XX/XXXX Equifax again confirmed that the information was correct and closed the dispute. I spoke to XXXX again and received a copy of the Universal Data Form which states all my account information and confirms that the account has been paid in full and is now closed. I filed another dispute with Equifax on XX/XX/XXXX ( XXXX ) and supplied the UDF. XXXX responded to the dispute today, XX/XX/XXXX and also resubmitted my updated information to Equifax ( control # XXXX ). I was told by Equifax that this information is electronic and will be automatically reflected on my credit report once XXXX submits it. Now Equifax is still saying they have not received anything stating that my account has been paid in full. Their negligence is hurting my credit score and my ability to purchase my first home and I have been relentless in trying to get it resolved, and I feel helpless.

Consumer complaint received 01-06-2016 about Credit reporting () with Experian Information Solutions Inc. (NJ).
Issue: Credit reporting company's investigation
Sub-issue: Problem with statement of dispute

Complaint: I have been disputing with all three credit reporting companies and have gotten nothing resolved. I have been the victim of bad credit since I can remember. My credit score has always been in the XXXX 's due to improper reporting. This has caused me to continuously get denied for credit and pay very high interest rates on auto loans. Every time I shop for an auto loan the car dealership sends out my application to different banks ( shotgunning ) the credit companies report every single inquiry on my file. I get denied credit because too many inquiries. Credit companies try to tell me all those inquiries on my file only counted as XXXX and did not affect my score. That is the farthest from the truth. They count and that is why my credit score has never reached XXXX. I have also disputed other inaccurate information in my file and each and every time it remains un resolved.

Consumer complaint received 06-04-2017 about Credit reporting, credit repair services, or other personal consumer reports (Credit reporting) with EQUIFAX, INC. (TX).
Issue: Problem with a credit reporting company's investigation into an existing problem
Sub-issue: Investigation took more than 30 days

Complaint: I began aggressively disputing the below accounts in XX/XX/XXXX, I however have been disputing the accounts since XX/XX/XXXX when they first appeared and was reporting positively because they are not my accounts. <P/>1 ) XXXX XXXX XXXX 2 ) XXXX XXXX My initial dispute online was I had no knowledge of the accounts. I had one XXXX account that is closed and positive and no knowledge of XXXX at all. <P/>In response the credit bureaus 1 ) told me the debt was valid, 2 ) reported it as fraud 3 ) there 's another account with similar information as mine and asked me to send in identify evidence which I did. <P/>Because of their response, and due to my confusion as to how you can say its valid and fraud and say I may have 2 reports, I then sent TWO letters (XX/XX/XXXX and XX/XX/XXXX ) asking for validation for the debt since they were stating it was a verified not validated debt. <P/>What I received in response was a letter stating to call the company and a letter stating no changes would be made because they verified the account but a temporary fraud alert would be placed. I was even told my dispute was frivolous because I asked how can they determine a account is valid but say its fraud all in the same breath. <P/>Nonetheless, NO ONE FROM THE BUREAU HAS GIVEN ME PROOF WITH MY SIGNATURE THAT I OWED The DEBT NOR HAVE ANYONE BEEN ABLE TO JUSTIFY THE REPORTING OF AN ACCOUNT BEING FRAUD BUT VALID. <P/>FCRA rules states that it is the reporting agencies obligation to defend the accuracy of the information THEY are reporting. It is NOT the consumers obligation to call the creditors to figure out what is going on. Nor is it ethically moral to tell someone their inquiries are frivolous especially when I have legit concerns with the reporting of inaccurate information. <P/>
Inaccurate reporting is occurring because : 1 ). They claimed it is a fraud account but also said they were able to validate it.
2 ) The bureau claimed to have investigated the validity of the account, but have been unable to furnish undisputable evidence, with my written signature, of such validation and it is now 60 days into the investigation.

Consumer complaint received 06/14/2016 about Credit reporting () with EQUIFAX, INC. (MD).
Issue: Credit reporting company's investigation
Sub-issue: Inadequate help over the phone

Complaint: Hello, There were XXXX credit card accounts that I recently opened in the last few months which are reporting to the other XXXX credit bureaus but not to Equifax. I 've reached out to XXXX creditors to confirm that my new account information was sent and also received notification that they were reporting monthly to Equifax but again the accounts are not showing as of today. I also reached out to Equifax on numerous occasions requesting an update or to see if their system was reflecting the new accounts and only to be told there is nothing showing yet. I talked to someone in their Executive Customer Escalations Unit to request a full review of my file to see what is preventing the accounts from showing. However, Equifax is responding that the creditors should contact their Business Relations Customer Service unit which is not possible since they are sending statement information and monthly account updates. This is hindering my credit worthiness and preventing credit decisions since majority of merchants use Equifax in my area. 

The accounts that are reported to Equifax but they will not update on my profile are : XXXX XXXX XXXX
