Company: EQUIFAX, INC.
State: CA

Complaint narrative:
I have previously sent disputes requesting verification and debt validation for the item ( s ) listed below. Additionally, I have requested specific method of verification ( MOV ). Equifax is not fulfilling the obligation under FCRA 609 ( c ) ( 2 ). Validation using e-OSCAR or XXXX is improper validation and a violation of FCRA. The absence of method of verification and validating debt ownership via third party fails to meet the Consumer Finance Protection Bureaus ' guidelines for what constitutes proper debt validation. Additionally under FCRA 623, I am requesting investigation as to the accuracy of the records on this debt. The FCRA requires the CRA to assure maximum possible accuracy with your credit file. [ 15 U.S.C. 16 81 e ] ( b ) " Accuracy of report. Whenever a consumer reporting agency prepares a consumer report it shall follow reasonable procedures to assure maximum possible accuracy of the information concerning the individual about whom the report relates ''. How is it possible that maximum accuracy is assured when the collection agency is verifying
erroneous information to the CRA through an XXXX, and hasn't provided you with proper validation of the debt? 

Under 623 ( b ) ( l ), FAIR CREDIT REPORTING ACT/REGULATION V when a furnisher receives notice from a CRA that a consumer disputes the completeness or accuracy of information the furnisher provided to the CRA, it must investigate the disputed information, review all relevant information provided by the CRA, and report the results of its investigation to the CRA.

Please provide information to the following questions When was the dispute started internally at Equifax?

When was the dispute sent to the original information furnisher?

When did Equifax receive a response from the original information furnisher?

What information was sent to the original information furnisher and what detailed information was received from the original information furnisher in response to the dispute? The furnisher is required to investigate their records and ensure that they are accurate as well as Equifax \is required to have an INDEPENDENT role and actively investigate a dispute and compare evidence. The case law XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXXXXXX, UNITED STATES COURT OF APPEALS, FOR THE THIRD CIRCUIT, No. 9 6-15 5 3, the judge ruled that XXXX violated the Fair Credit Reporting Act by failing to compare evidence.

Complaint narrative:
I am writing to formally dispute several inaccurate entries on my credit report. Below, I outline the specific accounts that require investigation and correction : 1. Account : XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX ( Account # XXXX ) This account lists a balance of {$57000.00} with a Collection/Charge-off status. 
Charge-offs : Per 15 U.S. Code 1601, all disclosures under the Truth in Lending Act must be provided, which I did not receive. 
Additionally, the payment history reflects inaccurate entries that do not align with my records. 

2. Account : XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX ( Account # XXXX ) The reported balance is {$50000.00} with a derogatory Collection/Charge-off status. 
Disputes : According to 15 U.S. Code 1666 ( b ), billing errors or disputes must be investigated and resolved accurately. This has not been done for this account. 
I contest the legitimacy of the reported late payments and the lack of documentation substantiating this debt. 

3. Account : XXXX XXXX ( Account # XXXX ) This credit card account lists a balance of {$7900.00} and is marked as Collection/Charge-off. 
Collections : Per 15 U.S. Code 1692 ( c ), I did not provide consent for a debt collector to contact me regarding this account. 
The comments state the account was closed due to inactivity, yet derogatory marks remain unjustifiably. 

4. Account : XXXXXXXX XXXX ( Account # XXXX ) This account shows a balance of {$8400.00} with a derogatory status and Charge-off remark. 
Charge-offs : As per 15 U.S. Code 1601, the creditor failed to provide full disclosures required under the Truth in Lending Act. 
The payment history contains inaccuracies that misrepresent my payment behavior. 

Requested Action : I request the following actions to rectify these issues : 1. Verify all disputed entries and provide documentation supporting their accuracy. 
2. Remove any unverifiable or inaccurate information from my credit report in accordance with 15 U.S. Code 1681i. 
3. Provide a detailed response within 30 days of receipt of this letter. 

I have attached copies of my credit report with the disputed entries highlighted, along with any relevant documentation to support my claims. If these inaccuracies are not addressed, I will be forced to escalate the matter under consumer protection laws. 

Thank you for your prompt attention to this matter. I look forward to your resolution.
