Product: Debt collection — I do not know
Issue: Took or threatened to take negative or legal action — Threatened or suggested your credit would be damaged
Company: EQUIFAX, INC.
State: RI

Complaint narrative:
I am writing to formally dispute a collection account that has appeared on my credit report. This account, which I believe to be inaccurate, is causing significant harm to my credit score and overall financial well-being. 

I have requested information regarding this account multiple times, yet I have not received any details about its origin or the specific debt it pertains to. I do not owe any money to the Treasury Department, and I find it troubling that this account has been reported five separate times without any accompanying documentation or explanation. 

Furthermore, I would like to note that XXXX has removed this account from my credit report because they could not find any reason for its presence. This reinforces my belief that the account is erroneous and should not be affecting my credit standing. 

The lack of information has left me confused and concerned, as I have not been notified by any collection agency regarding this supposed debt. As I am currently unemployed and relying on government assistance while seeking employment, the presence of this collection account is particularly detrimental to my situation. 

I kindly request that this collection account be investigated and removed from my credit report, as it appears to be reported in error. I believe that a thorough review will reveal that I do not owe this debt, and it should not be affecting my credit standing. 

My credit score on Equifax has dropped by over 100 points which is causing me mental health issues and caused me tremendous financial harm.

Complaint narrative:
XXXX XXXX XXXX Mon, XX/XX/XXXX, XXXX ( 7 days ago ) to XXXX, XXXX, XXXX XXXX PM, XXXX, XXXX, XXXX, oig.hotline This matter is going to become serious if I don't see the appropriate relief from this collection forthwith. I don't owe XXXX XXXX, XXXX XXXX, XXXX XXXX XXXX a penny but I do have some very strong complaint letters to send and file up with lawsuits pursuant to G.S. if we can't remove this collection immediately. 

I've provided documentation that states XXXX XXXX did not have the signed move out form with the correct date which would have had me owing a balance of XXXX. 

I left this property due to grossly unsafe conditions orchestrated in some part rather actively or passively by XXXX XXXX XXXX and XXXX XXXX at XXXX XXXX. 

They could be civilly and criminally responsible for physical and mental damages to my health while at the property and severe financial loss. 

The thought that I'd ever pay XXXX XXXX  a penny or what they let happen to me at XXXX XXXX is the most demonic sick thing I can think of and the fact XXXX can sleep at night is proof XXXX will not be hot enough for some people. 

I want this off my credit forthwith or we are all going to go to court with a story for the ages and I'm going to leave with big checks and pursue criminal charges. 

respectfully, XXXX XXXX XXXX XX/XX/year> XXXX XXXX XXXX ss # I am filing a formal complaint against all parties but this should be simple for XXXX XXXX They don't have a required signed move out letter because XXXX won't release it. Therefore they have no debt. I have fled a complaint with their NMLS, the CFPB, and have made the credit bureau 's aware this debt is invalit. 

You are preventing housing for someone with a XXXX  and I'm tired of it. At this point I'll pursue this in every legal way I can starting with criminal complaints to XXXX Police and the Federal Bureau of Investigation if I can not get this removed from equifax XXXX and XXXX XXXX.

Complaint narrative:
" I am addressing the issue with regarding the noncompliance. This is a violation of my privacy with my consumer report, since I control what is listed and what is not, that is considered identity theft. 

As per the Fair Credit Reporting Act, particularly under 15 U.S.C. 1681n, there exists statutory civil liability for willful noncompliance. This provision stipulates that any person who willfully fails to comply with consumer protection requirements may be liable to the affected consumer for damages, including potential punitive measures and reimbursement of legal costs. This underscores the importance of addressing and rectifying this matter promptly and responsibly.
