Issue: Incorrect information on your report — Account information incorrect
Company: Atlanticus Services Corporation
State: MA

Complaint narrative:
I am writing to notify you of inaccuracies in your reporting concerning my account. According to the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ), you, as the furnisher of information, are legally obligated to ensure the accuracy of the data you report. 

Upon reviewing my credit report, I noticed that the account mentioned above is being inaccurately reported as both a charge-off and a collection account. As per my understanding, once a debt is charged off, it is considered canceled, and a Form XXXX must be issued as evidence of this cancellation. Therefore, the debt should either reflect as canceled, or the current balance displayed on my credit report should be corrected. 

This inaccurate reporting violates the FCRA. I demand an immediate investigation into this issue, and I expect the necessary corrections to be made promptly.

Company: EQUIFAX, INC.

Complaint narrative:
I am filing a complaint regarding Equifax for their failure to properly validate accounts that are being reported on credit file. Despite multiple requests, including three written communications, Equifax has failed to comply with the federal regulations under the Fair Credit Reporting Act. Specifically, I have requested that they provide a copy of the original contract bearing my signature, and proper validation of the debt including a full breakdown of the account. Despite my good-faith efforts to resolve this matter, they have been negligent in responding and I have not received the requested documentation or validation of he debt. This failure to act is a clear violation of federal law.

Company: TRANSUNION INTERMEDIATE HOLDINGS, INC.
State: TX

Complaint narrative:
I previously submitted a letter addressing the inaccuracies and unfamiliar items on my credit report. However, it has now been over 30 days, and I have not received a response. It appears my disputes are being disregarded, which raises serious concerns. Under Section 611 ( a ) of the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ), credit reporting agencies are required to investigate disputed items within 30 days. If they fail to do so, these items must be removed from my report.

As more than 30 days have passed, I expect immediate updates to my credit report reflecting the removal of these disputed accounts. Should this not be addressed promptly, I will be left with no option but to pursue legal action to resolve this issue, as the continued inaction has caused significant stress. 

Moreover, I was affected by the XXXX, XXXX, and TransUnion data breaches, which heightens my concern regarding the security and handling of my personal information.

On XX/XX/XXXX, I reached out to Concord Service LLC to confirm their account ownership saying i owe them. {$15000.00}. The moment I shared my name, the representative stated that they no longer do business with XXXX XXXX. They explained that I would be transferred to a different department. It was XXXX XXXX who got on the phone next. Which they stated that there was no record of my name in their files. So, they couldn't help me. 

They transferred me to the real resort Which is a timeshare ( XXXX XXXX XXXX ), where they realized it was a previous account that had been cancelled in XX/XX/XXXX. Without delay, I contacted the Concord service and provided a detailed explanation. It was clear he was agitated, as he repeated the exact same thing to me. I told them they are the ones reporting on my credit report since XXXX adding 180 days late every month and listed as the owner. My last payment to the resort was in XX/XX/XXXX and Since you're saying you're not responsible for this account I wanted this deleted from my records. He just stayed silent and said again that they dont handle this anymore and gave me a different number when I call it was once again XXXX XXXX.
