Complaint narrative:
Equifas has repeatedly responded with a generic boilerplate statement to each complaint I've made against them since XXXX XXXX XXXX that fails to address the substance of my Dispute. I requested a method of verification under 15 USC 1681i ( a ) ( 6 ) ( B ) ( iii ), and they failed to provide any names who was interviewed to confirm this account ( XXXX ), documents, phone numbers or dates to support the verification of this account. This violates my rights under the FCRA, and potentially Regulation F under the FDCPA if multiple parties are collecting different balances on the same alleged debt. I request a full reinvestigation a proper investigation, and DELETION of this account. as copied below is Equifax response to each and every complaint I've made with the CFPB.
