Complaint narrative:
Dear Equifax, I have composed a complaint based on your furnishing of the following accounts : XXXX  XXXX Account Number : XXXX XXXX Account Number : XXXX You are reporting inaccurate information on both of these accounts, and it is tarnishing my creditworthiness. I have operated in good faith and will continue to do so despite not receiving the same gratitude. Nonetheless, I do expect Equifax to demonstrate the same courtesy. Since many laws have been continuously violated regarding the inaccurate reporting of these XXXX accounts, I will educate you on some of my consumer laws you have violated numerous times. Such that, causing direct harm to me and violating the federal laws. According to 15 USC 1681a ( f ), the term consumer reporting agency means any person who, for monetary fees, dues, or on a cooperative nonprofit basis, regularly engages in whole or in part in the practice of assembling or evaluating consumer credit information or other information on consumers for the purpose of furnishing consumer reports to third parties, and who uses any means or facility of interstate commerce for the purpose of preparing or furnishing consumer reports. 
Now, did you catch that part about engaging in whole or in part? Well, I did. By the federal definition I have kindly provided, Equifax is a consumer reporting agency furnishing my consumer information to third parties yet reporting information inaccurately. Furthermore, since Equifax is federally categorized as a credit reporting agency under 15 USC 1681a ( f ), my written instructions as the consumer must be followed without further delay. The written instructions of the consumer trump all forms of permissible purpose. Let me reiterate, I am invoking my rights under 15 USC 1681b ( a ) ( 2 ). I am giving clear instructions to Equifax immediately DELETE these accounts in question from my credit report immediately. How are you even reporting a payment history on a charge-off account. By default a charge-off account is considered a Closed account. Furthermore, now that I have educated Equifax on its proper legal role as a consumer reporting agency under 15 USC 1681i ( a ) ( 1 ) ( a ), Equifax has to launch an investigation into my dispute and disclose the results of the investigation no later than 30 days from receipt of this complaint. Failure to launch an investigation and follow my written instruction will be willful non-compliance under 15 U.S.C. 1681n ( a ) ( 1 ) ( A ), and under this provision, I am entitled to {$1000.00} per violation. UNDER PENALTY OF PERJURY. Delete these accounts for violation of 15 US Code 1681e, failure to maintain reasonable procedures, 15 US Code 1681b ( e ) ( 6 ). FDCPA Violation of 15 US Code 1692e False and Misleading reporting. Violation of 15 US Code 1681i ( 5 ) ( A ). Deprivation of Rights 18 US Code 241.

I expect my written instructions to be followed immediately! I am fed up with Equifaxs actions that are directly affecting my reputation and creditworthiness.

I am not afraid to take legal action to cure my injury brought from you by your company.
