Product: Credit reporting or other personal consumer reports — Credit reporting
Issue: Problem with a company's investigation into an existing problem — Investigation took more than 30 days
Company: EQUIFAX, INC.
State: TX

Complaint narrative:
I am filing a complaint against Equifax regarding their failure to respond to my dispute letter. On XX/XX/year>, I mailed a dispute letter to Equifax via mail, requesting an investigation into inaccurate items on my credit report. Additionally, I disputed incorrect personal information listed on my report. 

To assist Equifax in verifying my identity and address, I included a copy of my photo ID, social security card, and a recent bill showing my current address. Despite this, I did not receive any response or investigation results from Equifax. 

Subsequently, I mailed another dispute letter on XX/XX/year>. To date, I have not received any response from Equifax regarding this submission. 

Under the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ), Equifax is required to conduct a reasonable reinvestigation when the accuracy or completeness of information in a consumer 's file is disputed. It appears that Equifax has violated my rights as a consumer by failing to conduct such an investigation upon receipt of my dispute. 

I am including a copy of the dispute letter I sent to Equifax, along with proof of delivery, to support my claim. I am now demanding that Equifax immediately and permanently remove the disputed items from my credit report.

Complaint narrative:
The Fair Credit Reporting Act ( XXXX XXXX Code XXXX ) says ( XXXX ) 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 XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX ( XXXX ) and XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX. This leads way to civil liability against the credit reporting agency for negligent and willful noncompliance under XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX, which allows for {$1000.00} per violation, for account listed without my expressed written consent.

Complaint narrative:
Hello, I am writing to delete the following information on my credit report. The following items are listed in the report. I am a victim of identity theft. The charges made on the account were not mine. The items need to be deleted as they are inaccurate items on my credit report. The theft of my identity was reported to the federal Trade Commission. Also, I have an enclosed copy of the Federal Trade Commission id-entity theft affidavit. Please find it in your best interest to delete the items.

I would like to emphasize the following legal obligations under the FCRA : Under 1681b, a consumer reporting agency may furnish a consumer report only under specific circumstances, including " In response to the order of a court having jurisdiction to issue such an order, or a subpoena issued in connection with proceedings before a Federal grand jury. '' This provision strictly limits when my consumer report can be furnished, and I do not believe any of these circumstances apply in this case. 


Under 15 U.S.C. 1681i ( a ) ( 1 ) ( A ), credit bureaus must conduct a " reasonable reinvestigation '' upon receiving notice of a consumer dispute. I am formally notifying you of this dispute, and I expect a thorough and reasonable reinvestigation of all items I've identified. 


15 U.S. Code 1681b outlines the permissible purposes of consumer reports, including conditions for furnishing and using consumer reports for employment purposes. I do not believe any of these permissible purposes apply to the disputed items on my report.

15 U.S. Code $ 1681c-2 a consumer reporting agency shall block the reporting of any.

information in the file of a consumer that the consumer identifies as information that resulted from an alleged identity theft, not later than 4 business days after the date of receipt. 

15 U.S. Code 1681 Section B ( i ) - Requirements relating to reinsertion of previously deleted material - If a consumer reporting agency removes information from someone's credit file based on the requirements in the preceding section ( A ), the agency can not re-add or reinsert that previously deleted information back into the person 's file unless the entity that originally provided that information certifies that it is complete and accurate.

Complaint narrative:
I am filing a formal complaint against XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX regarding the inaccurate reporting of a charged-off account. The account in question, ending in XXXX, has been reporting a charged-off status across TransUnion and Equifax, with a high balance of {$150.00} on a {$100.00} credit limit and 157 % utilization. This has significantly impacted my credit profile. 

Specific Issues and Disputes : XXXX XXXX XXXX : The account has been marked as 90 days late every month from XX/XX/XXXX to XX/XX/XXXX, which is inaccurate, excessive, and misleading. 
It is not feasible or logical for a closed or charged-off account to continue reporting new delinquencies over XXXX consecutive months. 
Inconsistent & Incomplete Reporting : The account is being reported only to XXXX bureaus ( Equifax and TransUnion ), and missing from Experian, which violates the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ) regarding consistent and complete reporting if furnished. 
No Verification of Debt Validity : I have never received proper validation of this alleged debt per 15 U.S. Code 1692g ( Validation of debts ).

There has been no proof provided that I agreed to or owe this amount, and no documentation of a charge-off was furnished.

FCRA Violation Inaccurate & Outdated Reporting : Reporting monthly XXXX delinquencies for XXXX consecutive years is inaccurate, misleading, and considered re-aging of debt. 
The account was closed in XX/XX/XXXX, yet the updates reflect ongoing delinquency well into XXXX. This suggests a deliberate attempt to suppress credit improvement and extend the derogatory impact. 
Requested Resolution : I am requesting the immediate deletion of this account from all credit reporting agencies due to the following : Re-aging of delinquency status after account closure Inaccurate payment history Lack of full validation Disproportionate and damaging credit utilization report Violations of the Fair Credit Reporting Act and Fair Debt Collection Practices Act This account is suppressing my ability to obtain credit and is being reported in a manner that is both false and prejudicial. 

Please investigate this matter thoroughly and ensure full deletion of the account from Equifax and TransUnion.

Let me be absolutely clear : I do not recognize, nor did I authorize, any of the accounts, collections, or inquiries referenced in this complaint. I did not open them. I did not request them. I did not initiate them. They are fraudulentperiod. And continuing to report this information after receiving notice of its illegitimacy constitutes a violation of federal law.

Company: Kikoff Inc.
State: GA

Complaint narrative:
I am writing to dispute inaccurate and misleading information reported on my credit file concerning the following account : This account is currently reporting a **charged-off status**, a **past due balance**, a **current delinquency ( " currently late '' ) **, and an **outstanding balance**which is in direct violation of Metro 2 credit reporting guidelines. A charged-off account should not simultaneously reflect a status of " currently late '' or continue accruing past due balances, as the account has been closed and written off as a loss. This constitutes **double derogatory reporting**, which is both inaccurate and misleading. 

Additionally, I made a **good faith effort to resolve this account**, including submitting a request for **pay-for-deletion**, which was denied. Despite my willingness to take responsibility and settle the account, I was **not provided any clear guidance on how to bring it current or resolve the status**, and it continues to be reported with multiple compliance violations that are now interfering with my ability to **close on a home loan**causing serious financial and emotional hardship. 

Under the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ) : - Section 611 requires all information on consumer reports to be accurate and verifiable.

- Section 616 allows consumers to seek damages up to {$1000.00} per willful violation of the Act, including the reporting of false or misleading information.

I am formally requesting that this item be either : 1. Corrected immediately to reflect accurate status consistent with Metro 2 formatting and FCRA law. Provide information for bringing the acc
ount current or 2. Deleted entirely from my credit report if accurate and complete verification can not be provided.

Please complete your investigation within the required 30-day period and confirm the results to me in writing. I am prepared to escalate this matter and seek legal counsel if these violations are not corrected. 

Thank you for your time and attention to this serious matter.
