Complaint narrative:
I was scammed by someone claiming to own an apartment on XXXX. After sending them some money for the apartment the person started demanding more money and pressuring me that I wouldnt get the apartment unless I payed more money. After I confronted them it became apparent I was scammed ( this happened on XX/XX/XXXX with the money being sent the day before ). I called the bank I payed him through ( Chime ) and requested the money be reversed. They said they wouldnt do anything and said I needed to contact the seller over and over again even though they knew I was scammed and that it wouldnt be possible to do that. I asked if there was any info I could get of the persons account who scammed me ( location, names, emails, phone numbers, etc ) so that I could turn it over to the police for a report and they eventually just hung up on me. I contacted my main bank XXXX for a dispute so I could hopefully get my money back but the next day ( today the XXXX ) got an email that my dispute was denied even though I was told it was going to take at least 7 days to do an investigation so they clearly didnt even look into my situation. I even contacted the police but they said that they cant really do much so they wouldnt even really bother.

Complaint narrative:
Subject : Complaint Regarding Equifaxs Failure to Validate Debt Dear Sir/Madam, I am writing to file a formal complaint against Equifax for their failure to properly validate debts as requested, which is a direct violation of the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act ( FDCPA ). This complaint pertains to their response to my requests for validation of the following accounts : XXXX XXXX XXXX  Account Number XXXX, opened on XX/XX/XXXX, with an alleged debt of {$1300.00}. 
XXXX XXXX, Account XXXX XXXX, opened on XX/XX/XXXX, with an alleged debt of {$4100.00}. 
XXXX XXXX, Account XXXX XXXX, opened on XX/XX/XXXX, with an alleged debt of {$890.00}. 
On XX/XX/XXXX, I sent Equifax a detailed letter requesting validation for each of these debts, specifying the necessary documentation required for validation as per the FDCPA, including but not limited to complete payment history, proof of my identity, proof of debt ownership, proof that the debt has not been written off as a tax liability, and proof of notification prior to reporting the debt to credit bureaus. 

To date, Equifax has failed to provide the requested documentation for any of these accounts. Instead, their communication has been inadequate, lacking the necessary proof to validate the debts as legitimately mine and not meeting the standards set forth by the FDCPA and relevant case law, such as XXXX XXXX XXXX. 

This failure not only questions the legitimacy of the alleged debts but also impacts my credit report and score negatively without just cause. I have attached copies of my letters to Equifax and any correspondence received from them for your review. 

I respectfully request the CFPB to intervene and ensure that Equifax complies with the FDCPA requirements by either providing the requested validation for these debts or removing the entries from my credit report if they can not substantiate their claims. Furthermore, I seek assurance that my rights under the FDCPA are protected and that such oversights are addressed to prevent future harm to my creditworthiness. 

Thank you for your attention to this matter. I am eager to resolve this issue and look forward to your prompt response.
