Issue: Problem with a company's investigation into an existing problem — Their investigation did not fix an error on your report
Company: EQUIFAX, INC.
State: CA

Complaint narrative:
On XXXX, I filed a dispute ( XXXX ) with Equifax for a lender error on my student loan account with XXXX XXXXXXXX, serviced by XXXX. I included my letter from XXXX admitting their mistake for terminating my auto-pay without notificationjust 4 months before I had paid it off on XXXX well as a promise to remove negative reporting. 

Equifax responded to the dispute on the same day by changing the " amount past due '' for the months XX/XX/XXXX, XX/XX/XXXX, XX/XX/XXXX to {$0.00}, but they did not fix the payment status of months XX/XX/XXXX, XX/XX/XXXX, XX/XX/XXXX, XX/XX/XXXX from " XXXX days past due '' to " paid on time '', nor did they change the status of my account from code XXXX " XXXX days past due '' to code XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX, '' and finally still have my account as " first delinquent '' in XX/XX/XXXX. 

Upon further review on XXXX, I discovered not only these unfixed errors in my " payment history '' view for my closed Georgia XXXX account, but also in my " XXXX history '' view, there are now amounts past due, balances, and scheduled payments for XX/XX/XXXX and XX/XX/XXXX, 9 months after I paid off the loan. 

I filed another dispute on that day, but was only allowed to select two of the errors ; the resolution that day was, again, to change two " amount past due '' values, but not the account status, monthly payment status, nor " date of first delinquency. '' I called Equifax and XXXX today XXXX for help. Three levels of Equifax customer representatives claimed that they have no way of making the appropriate changes per their resolved disputes, other than filing more disputes. Moreover, the ( very rude ) escalation supervisor informed me that I couldn't even file a dispute within 30 days of the prior one. XXXX 's automated system hung up on me upon entering my account information, because the account is already closed. A human representative was not able to help me for the same reason.

Complaint narrative:
Request for Account Removal and Clarification Dear Sir/Madam, I am writing regarding an account that has been reported as charged off but continues to appear as open on my credit report. The account in question is XXXX XXXX. This inconsistency is misleading and damaging to my credit profile. An account can not simultaneously be charged off and remain open, as this creates a false representation of my financial obligations. Additionally, I did not authorize the transfer or sale of this account to a third-party collection agency, named Jefferson Capital System LLC . For these reasons, I am requesting that this account be removed from my credit report immediately. Please confirm the following in writing : 1. The current status of the account with Jefferson Capital System LLC. 2. Whether Jefferson Capital System has legal ownership of the debt. 3. Verification that this account has been accurately reported by Jefferson System Capital LLC. I trust you will address this matter promptly and provide a response within thirty days. If this issue is not resolved, I will have no choice but to escalate the matter by disputing it directly with the credit bureaus. Thank you for your attention to this matter. Sincerely, XXXX XXXX

Complaint narrative:
The Fair Credit Reporting Act ( 15 U.S. Code 1681 ) says ( 1 ) The banking system is dependent upon fair and accurate credit reporting. Inaccurate credit reports directly impair the efficiency of the banking system, and unfair credit reporting methods undermine the public confidence which is essential to the continued functioning of the banking system.

So whenever there is a violation under the FCRA, it impairs the efficiency of the banking system. This is a violation of my privacy with my consumer report, since I control what is listed and what is not. In the event that any accounts are reported without my written consent, that is considered identity theft.

This is a violation of both 15 U.S. Code 1681b ( 2 ) and 15 U.S. Code 1681c-2. This leads way to civil liability against the credit reporting agency for negligent and willful noncompliance under 15 U.S. Code 1681n, which allows for {$1000.00} per violation, for account listed without my expressed written consent.
