Complaint narrative:
I am filing this complaint against Equifax Credit Reporting Agency regarding a XXXX account that was charged off. I originally filed a dispute with Equifax regarding the date of first deliquency that was inaccurate on my Equifax credit file in XXXX XXXX. I disputed this 3 times with Equifax. The first results came back from charged off to " Pays as agreed ''. Confirmation # XXXX. It actually states date of last payment in XXXX XXXX. I disputed again requesting the date of first deliquency and the results came back as charged off again. I then called XXXX XXXX XXXX myself and they told me they are unable to tell me the date of first deliquency because their records do not go that far back. I again disputed with Equifax and the results returned back to " Pays as agreed ''. I looked at my Equifax credit report almost two weeks ago and EQUIFAX has now reinserted charge off status. They never informed me in writing of the reinsertion. Now on my Equifax file this account shows in the 81 month payment history that the account was charged off in XXXX of XXXX, it clearly shows in the payment history that in XXXX XXXX there is a 60 day late. The line item section of the report states date of first deliquency was XXXX XXXX, but charged off XXXX XXXX. Makes no sense and is inaccurate. I called XXXX XXXX a second time and refused to help me. Equifax is blaming XXXX XXXX even though it 's clear the information is inaccurate and refuses to delete even though it has passed time to fall off the reporting. Equifax reinserted a charge off status and never informed me of doing so. Equifax and XXXX XXXX must delete this from Equifax immediately. See attah ment regarding this very serious issue. In conclusion The date of first deliquency is infact in XXXX XXXX and was actually charged off XXXX XXXX ( See Attachment ). Equifax reinserted charge off status without informing me and the information is inaccurate. XXXX. Responsibilities of furnishers of information to consumer reporting agencies [ XXXX XXXX.
