Complaint narrative:
XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXXXXXX Equifax Information Services LLC XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXXXXXX Dear Equifax, I am writing to dispute the following information that appears on my Equifax report from XX/XX/XXXX : XXXX XXXX  Revolving with account # XXXX opened on XX/XX/XXXX and a balance of {$1400.00}. 
Reporting Act, 15 U.S.C. 1681g I have the right to demand that you disclose to me all of the documents that you have recorded and retained in your file at the time of this request concerning the accounts that you are reporting in my credit report. Please dont respond to my request by saying that these accounts have been verified. Send me copies of the documents that you have in your files that were used to verify them. If you do not have any documentation in your files to verify the accuracy of these disputed accounts then please delete them immediately as required under Section 611 ( a ) ( 5 ) ( A ) ( i ). By publishing these inaccurate and unverified items on my credit report and distributing them to XXXX parties you are damaging my reputation and creditworthiness. 

XXXXXXXX XXXX Revolving with account # XXXX opened on XX/XX/XXXX and a balance of {$0.00}. 
It is my understanding that per 15 USC 1681 ( a ) ( 2 ) ( A ) ( i ), my consumer report should not contain information solely as to transactions or experiences between the consumer ( me ) and the person ( you ) making the report. Payment history and the late payments associated with payment history negatively impact my consumer report and are considered as part of my transactions and experiences between me and your company. Furthermore, I am requesting that you provide me with, in writing, the reasonable procedures [ according to 15 USC 1666 ( b ) ] that you have adopted to ensure that each periodic statement is mailed to me ( the consumer ) not later than 21 days before the payment due date. Include also, all the information required by section 1637 ( b ) of Title 15.

Collection account from XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX with account # XXXX and a balance of {$210.00}. The original creditor is XXXX. 
I previously disputed this account with the credit bureaus and it was deleted from my XXXX report but XXXX failed to perform an investigation and delete the disputed information. I never had a contract with this debt collector for any debt. I don't agree with the results of your investigation. Please mail me the proof of your investigation and proof that this debt collector has a legal right to collect, or delete this account. I have reason to believe that the aforementioned collection account may be erroneous or incorrectly reported. I have no recollection or knowledge of any outstanding debt owed to the mentioned creditor. Therefore, I kindly request that you provide me with the following information to validate the debt : 1. Full documentation and details of the alleged debt, including the original creditor, the amount owed, and a complete account history. 2. Proof of the creditor 's legal authority to collect the debt, such as a copy of the signed agreement or contract. 3. Verification of the accuracy and completeness of the account information, including the dates of delinquency and the last activity on the account. I understand that under the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act ( FDCPA ), consumers have the right to request validation of a debt claimed by a collection agency. Until such validation is provided, I request that you place the collection account in dispute and refrain from reporting it on my credit file. 

Please reinvestigate these matters and delete or correct the disputed information as soon as possible. Thank you for your assistance. 

Sincerely, XXXX XXXX
