Complaint narrative:
I was trying to settle this debt or set up a payment arrangement. I needed a copy of the agreement and they refused. They wanted me to settle the XXXX debt with XXXX XXXX payment today and one 30 days later. He would not allow me access my account online, would only offer to send me a letter by snail mail once it was paid in full. I need the agreement for an employment opportunity and explained this. I even read the CFPB statement regarding getting this info in writing and he told me he would snail mail ( no email ) me a copy of my current statement. That isn't even what I needed. I just want to settle or make a payment arrangement and have it in writing to protect myself. 

Also, the phone # listed on the XXXX credit report does not work. I had to XXXX the address in SC and it showed Heights Finance. I then had to call them and they referred me to Covington Credit. 

I spoke with XXXX, op # XXXX. He said the call was recorded. He refused to give me access online to my account.

Company: EQUIFAX, INC.
State: KY

Complaint narrative:
The glaring absence of tangible evidence validating its accuracy, along with the dissemination of unsubstantiated information, represents a clear breach of the legal framework delineated in 15 USC 1681i ( 7 ). This regulatory violation is not only disheartening but also frustrating, given the imperative for compliance. Thus, I strongly advocate for the expedited removal of this account in accordance with the law, unless sufficient evidence is promptly provided to validate its legitimacy. Failure to address this issue promptly only exacerbates the frustration stemming from the disregard for legal standards.
