Issue: Problem with a company's investigation into an existing problem — Their investigation did not fix an error on your report
Company: EQUIFAX, INC.
State: TX

Complaint narrative:
XX/XX/XXXXXXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX TX XXXX To Whom It XXXX Concern, Subject : Inaccurate Credit Reporting Request for Immediate Deletion ( 15 USC 1681s-2 ) I am writing to formally notify you of an ongoing issue regarding inaccurate information reported by your company to the credit bureaus, which violates the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ). As a furnisher of credit information, it is your legal responsibility to ensure the accuracy and integrity of the data provided. 
The specific account in question is as follows : Account Name : [ XXXX ] Account Number : [ XXXX Current Reported Balance : [ {$1700.00} ] It is my understanding that this debt was charged off by your company, and I have reason to believe that a Form 1099-C was issued, which memorializes the cancellation of this debt. According to IRS guidelines, a debt cancellation through a Form 1099-C should no longer reflect as a balance on my consumer credit report. The continued reporting of this balance is therefore inaccurate and misleading. 
This inaccuracy constitutes a clear violation of the FCRA, as you are required to report only truthful and accurate information. With full knowledge of this error, you are obligated to correct it immediately. 
To rectify this matter, I request that you provide me with the following : 2. A return of the time and form prescribed by regulation or the Secretary, including : o My name o My address o My Tax Identification Number ( TIN ) o The date and amount of the discharged/charged-off debt o Any other relevant information as required by the Secretary If you are unable to provide the requested documentation and proof, I demand that this account be removed from my credit report in its entirety. Failure to comply with this request may result in legal action, as I will not hesitate to engage retained counsel to protect my rights under the FCRA. 
Please respond promptly and confirm the actions taken to correct this issue. All correspondence related to this matter should be sent to the address listed above. 
Thank you for your immediate attention to this matter. I look forward to your prompt and favorable resolution. 
Sincerely, XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX

Complaint narrative:
XXXX, Transunion and XXXX are violating my rights in numerus ways reporting inaccurate information on my reports month after month and I want this corrected. Here is the list of their violations that they fail to correct : - Reporting as a charge off month after month, purposely re aging the account which is a direct violation of the Fair Credit Reporting Act. Accounts can report this the first time only, as each time they re-report it starts the reaging process, which is a violation - Reporting a balance on a charge off they do NOT own, which is a violation of the Fair Credit Reporting act. 
- Reporting a credit line on a charge off, which is false, as the account was sold. 
- Each company I have disputed is not reporting or indicating when and if this account was sold, purposely misrepresenting the status. 
- Balance calculations are not being validated properly

I, XXXX XXXX, opened an account on XX/XX/XXXX ( Account # : XXXX ) with XXXX XXXX XXXX. I defaulted on this account, but later paid it in full after it went to charge off status. I am still disputing this account to be deleted from my credit report because there are multiple violations and inaccuracies, which violates multiple rights of mine.

I have reached out to the creditor directly and they continuously urge me to reach out the the bureaus to have this removed, which I have done as well on XX/XX/XXXX.
