Complaint narrative:
Despite the multiple previous written requests, the unverified accounts listed below still remain on my credit report in violation of Federal Law. You are required under the FCRA to have a copy of the original creditor documentation on file to verify that this information is 100 % true, accurate & correct. 

In the results of your first investigation and subsequent reinvestigation ( s ), you stated in writing that you verified that these accounts are being reported correctly? Who verified these accounts? You have NOT provided me a copy of ANY original documentation ( a consumer contract with my signature on it ) as required under Section 609 ( a ) ( 1 ) ( A ) & Section 611 ( a ) ( 1 ) ( A ). Furthermore, you have failed to provide the method of verification as required under Section 611 ( a ) ( 7 ). Please be advised that under Section 611 ( a ) ( 5 ) ( A ) of the FCRA you are required to ... promptly CORRECT or DELETE all information which can not be verified. 

Section 616 and Section 617 provide me with a remedy which Im about to seek. You are willful non-complying with the FCRA. 

Since you claim youve verified the accounts listed below I wanted to confirm my thoughts and contacted the banks directly. They did not provide me with any verifiable proof. So, my question comes up again, WHO VERIFIED THESE ACCOUNTS? I believe you have not verified these accounts based on Section 609 ( a ) ( 1 ) ( A ) & Section 611 ( a ) ( 1 ) ( A ) & I will be seeking a legal remedy. 

Please CORRECT the account, or inaccurate information, from my file immediately XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX

Company: EQUIFAX, INC.

Complaint narrative:
Dear Equifax, I am writing to formally dispute the inaccurate information on my credit report for account XXXX XXXX XXXX Account # XXXX. Despite previously disputing this account, the information remains inconsistent and continues to violate the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ), which requires that all information on credit reports be accurate, complete, and verifiable. The continued reporting of inaccurate information constitutes a violation of the FCRA, specifically Sections 1681e ( b ) and 1681i ( a ).

The account in question contains discrepancies in the following areas, as well as others : High Credit Limit : The reported high credit limit on the account is inconsistent across different updates to my report.

Date Last Active : The reported date last active is inconsistent and changes with each reporting update.

Date of Last Payment : There is also an inconsistency in the date of the last payment on the account.

These inconsistencies suggest a failure to maintain maximum possible accuracy as required by Section 1681e ( b ) of the FCRA. Furthermore, by failing to correct these errors after my initial dispute, XXXX may also be in violation of Section 1681i ( a ), which mandates that credit reporting agencies reinvestigate disputed information in a timely and reasonable manner.
