Company: EQUIFAX, INC.
State: CA

Complaint narrative:
My credit report contains late payment remarks that are completely inaccurate and misrepresent my actual payment history. These false records are unfairly lowering my credit score and harming my financial reputation. I will not allow these reporting errors to go unchallenged. 

Despite my diligence in managing my financial obligations, these mistakes continue to create unnecessary obstacles. The FCRA clearly states that any incorrect, outdated, or unverifiable information must be promptly corrected or removed. I demand immediate action to rectify these errors, as any further delay will only increase the damage already done. Failure to act swiftly will be seen as deliberate negligence. 

Inaccurate Late Payment Remarks : Company Name : XXXX  - Account # : XXXX Company Name : XXXX XXXX - Account # : XXXX Company Name : XXXX XXXX - Account # : XXXX Company Name : XXXX - Account # : XXXX Company Name : XXXX - Account # : XXXX

According to the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( 15 U.S.C. 1681 ), I am entitled to dispute any information that I believe to be inaccurate or incomplete. Using an EOSCAR SYSYEM IS FAULTY AND SHOULD NOT BE CONSIDERED A THOROUGH INVESTIGATION AND I AM AWARE THIS IS WHATS HAPPENING! Credit bureaus are obviously failing to investigate when Im providing documentation of my true identity and false names are still being reported which is NOT my name. The addresses and names for each credit bureau should match.

Company: Central Portfolio Control Inc.
State: FL

Complaint narrative:
This debt was discharged in a Bankruptcy proceeding, and was removed from my credit report years ago. Additionally, this debt is past the Statute of Limitations in the State of Florida, and can no longer be collected. This debt collector uses deceptive collection practices by listing this debt as new, current debt as they know it is past the Statute of Limitations. I have never heard from this company as they failed to contact me before placing this non-existent debt on my credit report without ever contacting me in violation of the law. I demand they remove this debt from my credit report immediately.

XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXXXXXX XXXX  XXXX XXXX XXXX, TX XXXX XX/XX/year> Equifax Information Services, XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX, GA XXXX Subject : Debt Validation Request ( Follow-Up to Unanswered Dispute - Identity Theft ) Dear Sir/Madam, I am writing to follow up on my previous dispute regarding the debt reported on my credit report by XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX under the account number XXXX XXXX. This account is a result of identity theft, and I have previously submitted supporting documentation indicating that I am a victim of identity theft.

According to the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act ( FDCPA ), I have the right to request validation of any debt that is being reported. Given the nature of this issue, I am specifically requesting the following : Proof that the debt is mine, including the name of the original creditor.

The amount of the debt at the time it was reported to you. 
A complete transaction history or statement detailing the debt. 
Proof of the original contract or agreement that verifies the debt. 
Any other documentation to confirm that the debt is accurate and belongs to me. 
As I have previously provided, I have attached copies of the following documents to assist with verifying my identity and to help resolve this matter : Drivers License ( front and back ) Social Security Card ( front and back ) Utility Bill Pay Stub Documentation supporting my identity theft claim ( previously submitted ) I request that this matter be investigated promptly, and if this debt can not be validated, I kindly ask that it be removed from my credit report. 

In accordance with the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ), I expect this matter to be resolved in a timely manner. If this issue is not resolved in a reasonable time frame, I will consider further actions to address this discrepancy. 

Thank you for your prompt attention to this matter. 

Sincerely, XXXX XXXX XXXX

Recently, I have noticed the reappearance of negative accounts that had previously been removed, including late payments that are well beyond the seven-year reporting limit. Additionally, there are accounts listed on my report that I do not recognize and believe may be fraudulent or inaccurately attributed to me. Given the recent breach involving Social Security Numbers allegedly accessed by DOGE, I am deeply concerned that my personal information has been compromised, potentially leading to unauthorized activity on my credit file.
