Complaint narrative:
In XXXX2022 one of my XXXX XXXX XXXXXXXX cards changed to a Comenity Card. 
I was unaware that change was taking place. And used the XXXX XXXX XXXXXXXX card. 
Within 24 hours card changed?

After spending over 24hrs on the phone to do my part to change card, I already realized I would never be able to work with these people. 
I paid the card off and closed account. 

Now 7 months later, the charged amount ( {$3000.00} ) is still showing and the card is on my credit reports as an open account with a balance. 

I called Comenity yesterday and the rep at Comenity stated she can see the card was paid off but she didn't know how long it would take to for that to be changed? In the mean time my credit report is showing I owe money that I paid off in XX/XX/ 2022, which I am sure is affecting my credit score. 

What can I do to get this fixed?

Complaint narrative:
Subject : Formal Complaint - Inaccurate Verification of Debt by Equifax For whomever this may concern, I am writing to file a formal complaint against Equifax regarding the accuracy of their debt verification process, as required by the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ), specifically 15 U.S.C. 1681 Section 611 ( a ) ( 1 ) ( A ). 

Recently, I discovered an erroneous debt on my credit report ( " XXXX, XXXX XXXX XXXX '' as listed with company on my credit report ), which was initially verified by Equifax. However, another reputable credit bureau company subsequently verified this debt as invalid and promptly removed it from my credit report. I must highlight that Equifax verified this debt without providing any substantial information to validate its authenticity. 

The absence of a wet signature or a clear date associated with this debt raises serious concerns about its legitimacy. I would like to bring to your attention several relevant legal cases, such as XXXX XXXX XXXX, XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX, and XXXX XXXX XXXX Equifax, wherein the respective credit bureau companies were held accountable for their failure to properly validate similar debts. 

According to the FCRA, it is mandated by law for credit bureaus to conduct a reasonable investigation upon receiving a dispute from a consumer. In this particular instance, Equifax has failed to meet this legal obligation, as they neglected to perform a thorough investigation into the disputed debt. 

I kindly request that the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau ( CFPB ) thoroughly investigate this matter and take appropriate actions to ensure compliance with the FCRA by Equifax. Furthermore, I would appreciate your assistance in rectifying this situation promptly, as the inaccurate reporting of this debt has had a negative impact on my creditworthiness and financial well-being. 

Enclosed with this complaint, you will find copies of all relevant documentation supporting my claim, including the deletion confirmation from the other credit bureau company. 

I trust that the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau will handle this complaint with the utmost seriousness and work towards resolving the issue effectively. I eagerly await your prompt response and a resolution that upholds the principles of fairness and accuracy outlined in the FCRA. 

Thank you for your attention to this matter. 

Sincerely, XXXX XXXX

I have items passed on that should be taken out or blocked. Per FCRA segment 605, Credit Bureaus are expected to eliminate any records recorded on an ID THEFT REPORT. I've proactively remembered this report from a past letter and I am including it once more. I've educated my lawyer regarding my aims and they are eager to consider that Credit Bureaus are responsible for their tenacious rebelliousness.
