Company: EQUIFAX, INC.
State: NY

Complaint narrative:
I am writing to formally dispute inaccuracies on my credit report related to identity theft and I'd like to emphasize that I am the one submitting this complaint and there is no third party involved.. I submitted my initial dispute on XX/XX/XXXX, along with a Federal Trade Commission ( FTC ) Identity Theft Report and additional documentation supporting my claim. However, your agency has failed to meet its obligations under the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ). Violations of the FCRA 1.Failure to Conduct a Reasonable Investigation ( 15 U.S.C. 1681i ( a ) ( 1 ) ) Under the FCRA, credit reporting agencies are required to conduct a reasonable investigation upon receiving a dispute. Despite providing a comprehensive FTC Identity Theft Report and detailed supporting evidence, I have not received confirmation of any substantive investigation into the disputed items.

2.Failure to Notify Me of Investigation Results ( 15 U.S.C. 1681i ( a ) ( 6 ) ) The FCRA mandates that consumers be notified of the results of an investigation within 30 days of submitting a dispute. To date, I have not received any such notification, nor have I been informed of the outcome of your review or the process by which my dispute was evaluated.

3.Failure to Block Inaccurate Information Promptly ( 15 U.S.C. 1681c-2 ) The FCRA requires credit reporting agencies to block information resulting from identity theft upon receipt of appropriate documentation, such as an FTC Identity Theft Report. This has not occurred in my case. 

Precedent Cases Supporting My Position Your failure to comply with FCRA requirements is not only a violation of my rights but also exposes your agency to liability, as demonstrated in precedent cases : XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX ( XXXX ) : This case emphasized that credit reporting agencies have a duty to conduct reasonable investigations beyond relying on the data provided by furnishers. 
XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX : The Supreme Court upheld consumer rights in disputes related to credit reporting inaccuracies, reinforcing the accountability of credit bureaus under the FCRA. 

Requested Resolution To resolve this matter, I demand the following actions : 1.Conduct a reasonable and thorough reinvestigation of the disputed accounts and transactions associated with my identity theft. 2.Provide a detailed written summary of your investigation, including the steps taken and evidence reviewed. 3.Immediately block or remove all inaccurate information resulting from the identity theft. If this matter is not resolved promptly, I will have no choice but to escalate my complaint by filing with the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau ( CFPB ), the Federal Trade Commission ( FTC ), and potentially pursuing legal remedies.

Complaint narrative:
Disputing the inaccurate, misleading, and potentially unlawful reporting of the following collection account on my credit report. Under the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ) ( 15 U.S.C. 1681 ), credit reporting agencies are legally required to ensure that all information reported is accurate, verifiable, and fair. The reporting of this account contains multiple errors and potential violations that must be corrected immediately. Debt Buyer : XXXX XXXX XXXX Original Creditor : XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXXXXXX XXXX Account Number : XXXX Date Opened : XX/XX/year>. Disputed Errors : Unverified debt collection reporting. Incorrect past due balance reporting. Failure to validate debt upon request. Potential illegal re-aging of the account. Possible violation of IRS regulations if a 1099-C was issued VIOLATIONS OF FEDERAL LAW : Unverified Debt Collection Reporting FCRA 623 ( a ) ( 3 ) ( 15 U.S.C. 1681s-2 ) XXXX XXXX XXXX is a third-party debt buyer with no documented proof that this debt has been validated as required by law. FCRA and FDCPA prohibit the reporting of an unverifiable debt. 2. Inaccurate Past Due Balance FCRA 607 ( b ) ( 15 U.S.C. 1681e ( b ) ) The report states a past due balance of {$420.00} which is the same as the original balance. If XXXX XXXX XXXX purchased this debt for less than the original balance, they can not legally report the full original amount owed unless they provide documentation proving they are entitled to collect the full amount. Adding unauthorized fees or interest would be a violation of FDCPA ( 15 U.S.C. 1692f ( 1 ) ). 3. Failure to Validate Debt Upon Request FDCPA 809 ( 15 U.S.C. 1692g ) XXXX XXXX XXXX did not provide the original signed contract, itemized payment history, and clear proof of debt ownership, I've requested them to cease collection efforts and remove this account from my credit report. I demand immediate removal or written validation of this debt immediately. FCRA 605 ( c ) ( 15 U.S.C. 1681c ( c ) ) If XXXX XXXX XXXX has changed the date of first delinquency to make this debt appear newer, this is an illegal practice known as re-aging, which extends the negative impact of the account beyond its legally allowed reporting period.
