Complaint narrative:
Subject : Dispute of Inaccurate Information on Credit Report and violation to the Fair credit reporting act. 
Complaint Summary : I am submitting this complaint against Equifax regarding the inaccurate information reported on my credit report, which violates the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ). 
On XX/XX/XXXX, I discovered discrepancies in the following account ( s ) : Account Name : XXXX XXXX Account Number : XXXX Disputed Information : 1. Inconsistencies in the Date of Last Activity XXXX : XX/XX/XXXX XXXX : XX/XX/XXXX Equifax : XX/XX/XXXX The date of last activity should be consistent across all credit bureaus. These discrepancies can negatively impact the credit score and the duration of the negative report on the credit history. 
XXXX. Differences in the Date Reported XXXX : XX/XX/XXXX XXXX : XX/XX/XXXX Equifax : XX/XX/XXXX All bureaus should report the information on the same date. The difference in XXXXXXXX XXXX report may indicate an error in data updating. 
XXXX. Discrepancy in the Account Closure Date XXXX : XX/XX/XXXX XXXX : Not reported Equifax : Not reported If the account is closed, it should be uniformly reflected across all bureaus. 
XXXX. Differences in the Most Recent Payment Date XXXX : Not reported XXXX : XX/XX/XXXX Equifax : XX/XX/XXXX The last payment date should be consistent across all reports. 
XXXX. Incorrectly Reported Payment History XXXX : No payment history reported. 
XXXX and Equifax : Report late payments inconsistently. 
XXXX reports late payments of 30, 60, 90, 120, and even 150 days.

Equifax reports 30, 60, 90, and 120-day delinquencies with differences in the specific months. 
This indicates a possible misreporting or incorrect assignment of delinquency dates. 

XXXX. Lack of Consistency in the Credit Limit XXXX : {$500.00} Equifax : {$500.00} XXXX : Not reported If the account had a credit limit, it should be reflected in all agencies. 

Under Section 611 of the FCRA, I have the right to dispute inaccuracies and request prompt investigation. I formally requested a reinvestigation of the account information and cited relevant sections of the FCRA, including : 1. Section 609 ( a ) ( 1 ) ( A ) : Requirement for verification of accounts through original documentation.

2. Section 611 : Right to dispute inaccuracies and request investigation.

3. Section 623 ( a ) ( 5 ) : Removal of unverifiable information dont validated for creditor Original.

4. 15 U.S. Code 1681e ( b ), which requires that the procedures for including information in credit reports ensure maximum possible accuracy Despite my request, Equifax has failed to conduct a thorough investigation or resolve these discrepancies within the required timeframe of 30 days. This negligence has led to the continued reporting of false information, which has negatively impacted my creditworthiness. 
In my request, I emphasized that any unverifiable information should be removed from my credit report IMMEDIATELY within the mandated 30-day period, as established in 15 U.S. Code 1681i. Additionally, I referenced 15 U.S. Code 1681e ( b ), which requires that the procedures for including information in credit reports ensure maximum possible accuracy. Furthermore, under 15 U.S. Code 1681s-2, furnishers of information are required to investigate and correct inaccurate information upon notice of a dispute.

Resolution Requested : I am requesting that the CFPB investigate this matter and assist in ensuring that Equifax complies with the FCRA by : 1. Conducting a full investigation into my dispute.

2. Correcting or removing any inaccuracies found in my credit report. 
3. Ensuring that all reporting practices align with federal regulations.

4. Removing all accounts reported inaccurately due to the violations of the FCRA.

Thank you for your attention to this matter. I look forward to your response and assistance in resolving this issue. 

Sincerely, XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX
