Complaint narrative:
This is a formal follow-up regarding my previous disputes concerning the fraudulent accounts appearing on my credit report. I did not authorize these accounts, and their continued reporting constitutes a serious violation of my rights under the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ). 
Despite months of disputes and the submission of supporting documentation, including my FTC Identity Theft Report, these false and inaccurate entries remain on my report. The FCRA requires that consumer reporting agencies ensure maximum possible accuracy. Your failure to remove these fraudulent accounts after receiving proper notice and documentation raises serious compliance concerns. 
I demand immediate corrective action to permanently delete these accounts from my credit file without further delay. If these accounts are not removed promptly, I will have no choice but to escalate this matter, which may include filing complaints with the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau ( CFPB ), the Federal Trade Commission ( FTC ), and pursuing all other remedies available under the law.

This is your final opportunity to comply before further action is taken.

Company: EQUIFAX, INC.
State: NY

Complaint narrative:
I am submitting this complaint regarding the reporting of one of my accounts, which is being reported inaccurately and incompletely by the creditor/furnisher. The information currently being reported violates the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ) and the XXXX XXXX reporting guidelines. 
Based on the credit report information I obtained, I identified the following discrepancies : Duplicate Charge-Off Notations The account is marked as Charge-Off month after month in XXXX and XXXX. 
A charge-off is a one-time accounting action and should not be re-reported as a new derogatory event each month. This practice constitutes duplicate negative reporting and artificially harms my credit standing. Improper Delinquency Reporting After Last Payment The report states the last payment date was XX/XX/XXXX, yet the payment history continues to show new 30/60/90 late notations and ongoing delinquency statuses well into XXXX and XXXX. Once the account is charged-off, no new delinquencies should be reported. Instead, the account should reflect a consistent charge-off status. Misleading Past Due Amount The account is listed with a past due amount of {$2400.00} even after being charged-off. 
According to industry standards, once an account is charged-off, it should not continue to reflect a past due balance, as this is misleading. Instead, it should only show the charge-off balance. Incomplete Reporting The original balance and monthly payment fields are left blank. For an installment account with 72-month terms, this information is required for complete and accurate reporting. The omission of this data results in incomplete credit reporting, which is not compliant with FCRA accuracy requirements. 
Comments Conflict with Payment History, The Comments section correctly lists the account as a Charged Off Account. However, the payment history contradicts this by continuing to show rolling late payments ( 30/60/90 days ) after charge-off, which is factually inconsistent.
