Issue: Incorrect information on your report — Account status incorrect
Company: EQUIFAX, INC.
State: MA

Complaint narrative:
I am writing to formally dispute inaccurate information being reported on my consumer credit report by Equifax regarding the following account : XXXX XXXX  with account number XXXXXXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX. Specifically, Equifax is reporting the account as " Pays account as agreed '' with a " 30 days past due '' delinquency. These reports are inaccurate and need to be updated to reflect " Paid on time '' and " Paid as agreed '' for this account. These entries are inconsistent, contradictory, and inaccurate. I am requesting that the status of this account be updated to reflect " Paid on time '' or " Current, '' and that the worst delinquency status be corrected accordingly to ensure accuracy in reporting. Upon review, I have discovered that these entries violate the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ), particularly Section 611, which requires consumer reporting agencies to ensure the maximum possible accuracy of the information contained in consumer reports. Furthermore, the entry was reported without my written authorization, in direct violation of 15 U.S. Code 1681b ( 2 ), which mandates that consumer information can not be accessed or used without the explicit written consent of the consumer. I expect a detailed response outlining the findings of your investigation, including documentation of the original written instructions from me, with my wet signature, authorizing the reporting of this information, and an explanation of the legitimate purpose for reporting this late payment. Additionally, I request a thorough investigation into this disputed late payment as per Section 604 ( a ) ( 3 ) of the FCRA and written confirmation of the investigations completion, along with details of any actions taken to rectify this matter. 
Lastly, I request documentation to verify compliance with 15 U.S. Code 1666b, which mandates that periodic statements must be delivered at least 21 days before the payment due date, including the periodic statement and corresponding tracking number to confirm timely delivery. I have attached proof of the inaccuracies and highlighted them in red for your convenience. I trust that you will handle this matter promptly and in compliance with all applicable federal regulations. I look forward to receiving a response within 30 days of the date of this letter. Thank you for your attention to this matter.
