Company: EQUIFAX, INC.
State: NY

Complaint narrative:
I sent in a dispute on XX/XX/year> and did not receive a response within the XXXX  day timeframe allotted to the credit bureaus. As a precaution, I am reaching out to the CFPB because the credit bureau has violated 15 USC 1681i ( a ) ( 1 ) ( c ). During the XXXX  day period no response was given which would result in a default response of making the account unverifiable. In that case, the account must not be accurately reporting if they are unable to supply proper documentation that suggests the accounts aforementioned are reporting inaccurately and werent able to be verified. This would result to a violation of the fair credit reporting act. Please see the attached document in order to address concerns. 

Pursuant to 1692g, I am requesting the Method of Verification for the following disputed account XXXX XXXX  : Account number : XXXX, The late payment reported is an error. I have proof of on-time payments. Please verify this information and update my credit report accordingly. 

XXXX  : Account number : XXXX, This account is reporting a late payment incorrectly. I have always paid on time. Update my credit report to show the correct payment history and remove the late payment. 

XXXX XXXX : Account number : XXXX, I dispute the late payment reported on this account. It is not accurate. Send me evidence of the late payment or correct my credit report to remove it. 

XXXX  XXXX : Account number : XXXX, The account shows a late payment that never occurred. This is a reporting error. Remove the erroneous late payment and ensure my credit report is updated. 

XXXX XXXX XXXX  : Account number : XXXX, The late payment on my report is inaccurate. I have made all payments on time. Please provide documentation proving the late payment or update the account to reflect the correct payment history. 

This is in accordance with Fair Credit Reporting Act 611 ( a ) ( 7 ). This is not a request for a reinvestigation of the previous dispute. 

This is rather a request for a Method of Verification where the following items should be provided to ensure the validity of the account ( s ).

Complaint narrative:
I want to stress that I did not give written permission for these specific transactions to be included in my consumer report. At no point did I authorize these entries, and their presence on my report is unwarranted. Consequently, I am formally requesting that these accounts be blocked and removed from my report immediately. 

It is important to clarify that this request is not due to any error or negligence on my part. There has been no oversight or misunderstanding on my end. Instead, this issue arises solely from the fact that I did not explicitly authorize the inclusion of these transactions in my report. I am diligent about maintaining the accuracy and privacy of my financial records, and these unauthorized entries compromise that integrity. 

I trust that you will handle this matter with the urgency and seriousness it deserves. Please confirm the removal of these transactions from my report as soon as possible. Thank you for your prompt attention to this issue.
