I am listing accounts below that have been reported inaccurately on my credit report. In compliance with the Fair Credit Reporting Act and as a gesture of respect to the Federal Trade Commission Committee on accuracy and completeness of credit information I am formally writing in today to dispute negative information appearing on my credit. This incorrect information is greatly hindering me from getting the credit score I deserve and hopefully, this letter will resolve all the issues on my credit. I demand to see Verifiable Proof ( an original Consumer Contract with my Signature on it ) of the accounts listed below. Your failure to positively verify these accounts has hurt my ability to obtain credit.

Company: EQUIFAX, INC.

Complaint narrative:
I disputed ownership of an account of my report, asking them explicitly to request proof of ownership which the creditor was unable to do, responding simply that I call them. Having not been able to provide this information and according to the FCRA and XXXX actual policy, they should be removing this account. They have been near impossible to communicate to and simply insist I re submit a dispute over and over again, always waiting a full 30 days or longer to reply with the same response, that I should call the creditor and that they are not responsible for reporting the information, the creditor is. This has been a confounding experience and very disheartening to see that one of the only two credit reporting bureaus practices unlawfully. They also will not remove an account that was opened in 2015 and has had no activity on it since that date. I have sent them the full account history which shows this is the case but they insist on reporting this still, even though its several years past the statute for reporting. They have been equally as difficult to deal with to resolve this and have spouted the same replies as the first situation mentioned above.

Company: Diverse Funding Associates LLC
State: TX

Complaint narrative:
On XX/XX/2024 I received a call from DNF Associates. They were attempting to collect a debt of XXXX. I agreed to pay that in order for the account to be reported paid and removed from my credit. They agreed to report it as paid. One month later after i paid it in full, i called back to ask if they had reported it as paid. They told me that had not yet but would by XX/XX/2024. I called back again today and they told me they never said they would report it and that i would have to file a dispute with XXXX. I did so and it was not removed due to DNF not telling them it was paid. I was tricked into paying something i didnt even owe and misled about their intentions on reporting it. They basically laughed in my face and took my money without ever reporting it as paid to XXXX.

Company: OLD NATIONAL BANCORP
State: IL

Complaint narrative:
In XX/XX/2023 I joined Old National Bank ( ONB ) as a XXXX XXXX XXXX. Upon completing my onboarding paperwork, I was advised in order to receive direct deposit for my pay that I was required to open an account with ONB. ( XXXX is the payroll processor for ONB ). The only alternative ONB offers is to mail your paycheck. This account requirement causes significant hassle given external bank transfers need to be made to satisfy bills and other expenditures where those accounts are registered. I had to move my paycheck every Friday from ONB to XXXX via XXXX transfer. Luckily, the daily limit for XXXX did not negatively impact me. XXXX I further believe ONB 's employee checking account requirement falsely inflates their number of customers. There are roughly 4,000 employees at ONB equaling an additional XXXX deposit accounts that were not intended to be opened by the employee if it were not for the bank 's requirement. It does seem to be a potential Reg E violation, though I believe Reg E states an XXXX  can not force you to have an account for employment itself. XXXX Please note I have since left the company but do wish to file this complaint as the mandate is still in place.
