Company: EQUIFAX, INC.
State: TX

Complaint narrative:
XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX SSN : XXXX XXXX : XXXX XXXX XXXX I am writing to formally dispute inaccuracies in my credit report as provided by your agencies. My name is XXXX XXXX XXXX, and my Social Security number is XXXX. My report contains conflicting information regarding my auto loan accounts, which I believe violates my rights under the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ) and the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act ( FDCPA ). 
Account Information : XXXXXXXX XXXX XXXX Account Number : XXXX Status : Closed Balance : {$16000.00} Payment Status : Voluntarily surrendered, {$510.00} past due. 
XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX Account Status : Open Balance : {$16000.00} Payment Status : In good standing, 100 % on-time payments. 
Inaccuracies Identified : The XXXX XXXX XXXX account is reported as closed and past due, while the XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX  account states it is open and in good standing, despite being the same loan. This contradiction raises concerns about the accuracy and completeness of my credit report under 15 U.S. Code 1681e ( b ) and 15 U.S. Code 1681i ( 5 ). It is troubling that two different companies are reporting the same account under different names, which causes confusion and potential harm to my credit profile.

Additionally, under 15 U.S. Code 1681c-2, a consumer reporting agency shall block the reporting of any information identified by the consumer as resulting from alleged identity theft, not later than four business days after receipt. This account may be a result of identity theft, and I request that it be blocked accordingly. 
Violation of Rights : In accordance with the Fair Credit Reporting Act, these accounts have violated my federally protected consumer rights to privacy and confidentiality under 15 U.S. Code 1681. Pursuant to 15 U.S. Code 1681 section 602 A, I have the right to privacy. Additionally, under 15 U.S. Code 1681 section 604 A Section 2, a consumer reporting agency can not furnish accounts without my written instructions. 


I request that you provide the original copy of the agreement and terms & conditions associated with this account. Failure to comply will result in the forfeiture of your claims and necessitate the deletion of the items listed above from my credit report. Additionally, you are required to block these transactions from being reported to my consumer report within 4 business days from the date of receipt of this notice. 
Failure to resolve these inaccuracies and comply with legal requirements will lead me to seek damages of {$1000.00} per account as provided by law. 
I look forward to your prompt response. 
Sincerely, XXXX XXXX
