Issue: Incorrect information on your report — Account information incorrect
Company: EQUIFAX, INC.
State: NJ

Complaint narrative:
Despite repeated attempts to resolve these matters, Equifax continues to allow damaging inaccuracies to persist on my credit profile. These unresolved errors are more than just frustratingthey are unjust, and they are actively interfering with my ability to move forward financially. Every time I apply for a loan, a credit card, or any financial opportunity, these incorrect entries stand as barriers that I shouldnt have to face. It is unacceptable that after multiple disputes, you still havent taken the appropriate steps to ensure your data is correct. Under the Fair Credit Reporting Act, you are legally required to verify every single reported item with original, legitimate documentation. If you can not confirm the accuracy of these records with credible, dated evidence, then these entries have no place on my report and must be removed immediately. I am demanding that you conduct a thorough reinvestigationnot a generic response, not a rubber-stamped review, but a meaningful audit backed by proper documentation. Continued delays and inaction will be treated as a deliberate and unlawful disregard of your obligations under federal law. Ive been more than patient, but my patience has run out.

Issue: Incorrect information on your report — Account status incorrect
Company: Experian Information Solutions Inc.
State: CA

Complaint narrative:
I am disputing XXXX XXXX  reporting of account ending in XXXX. 
My credit reports show contradictory and unlawful reporting : Account is listed as Charged Off with {$4100.00} written off, Yet also shows {$5100.00} past due as of XX/XX/year>, While also reported as Closed by Creditor as of XX/XX/year> or earlier. 
Under FCRA 611 ( a ) ( 1 ), contradictory tradeline data is unverifiable, and under FDCPA 807 ( 2 ) ( A ), it is materially misleading. 
A charge-off is an accounting reclassification ( XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX 12 C.F.R. Part XXXX ), but a write-off under 26 U.S.C. 166 and 6050P is a tax recognition event and cancels the written-off portion of debt. Once XXXXXXXX XXXX  wrote off {$4100.00}, it extinguished that portion of the receivable. Reporting it as still collectible violates IRS Publication XXXX, FCRA 1681s-2 ( a ) ( 1 ) ( A ), and FCRA 1681e ( b ). 
On XX/XX/year>, I sent XXXX XXXX certified letters demanding Form 1099-C and disclosure of any insurance recovery. Receipts prove delivery, yet XXXXXXXX XXXX has not responded, violating 12 C.F.R. 1022.43 ( e ) ( 1 ) & ( 3 ) and FCRA 609 ( a ) ( 1 ). 
This inaccurate reporting is impairing my creditworthiness and causing financial and emotional harm.
