Consumer complaint received 2022-09-23 00:00:00
Product: Credit reporting, credit repair services, or other personal consumer reports — Credit reporting
Issue: Problem with a credit reporting company's investigation into an existing problem — Their investigation did not fix an error on your report
Company: EQUIFAX, INC.
State: MD

Complaint narrative:
In XXXX of XXXX, I reached out to the 3 major Credit bureaus XXXX, Equifax, and XXXX to fix an incorrectly reported item ( XXXX XXXX XXXX - {$3300.00} ) on my credit report. Each bureau claimed to have investigated the claim with XXXX XXXX XXXX and verified it. 

This is impossible however because between the time of the debt being reported and the time of the investigation, Id worked directly with the Original Creditor to address a number of issues and overcharges ( proof attached ) In XXXX of XXXX, I reached out to XXXX, Equifax, and XXXX by certified mail with a return receipt to show them proof of this incorrect account and request it be removed. To date, I have not received a reply. 

I have had a number of my rights violated in the handling of this dispute, namely ; 1 ) My complaint was not answered within 30 days as required in the FCRA. The incorrect item must now be deleted.

2 ) Section 611 ( a ) ( 1 ) of the FCRArequires a CRA to conduct a reasonable reinvestigation of any item of information in a consumer 's file if the consumer alleges the item to be inaccurate. This never happened. If It had, my file would have been updated.

3 ) Section 611 ( a ) ( 3 ) requires prompt deletion of item information from the file of the consumer when proven to be inaccurate. 

I shared proof with the CRAs ( attached hereto, I've withheld their name in case a lawsuit against the CRA 's becomes necessary and they need to be called as a witness ) that clearly shows the Original Creditor made changes to my ledger AFTER it was reported to my credit file. Any reinvestigation would have resulted in a corrected account. 

I am requesting this account be deleted immediately from XXXX, Equifax and XXXX report. 

If this account is not promptly removed, my next course of action is to file a lawsuit as I am entitled to damages due to the CRAs negligentfailure to comply with its obligations under the FCRA. 

I intend to seek : - actual damages of the harm and opportunity loss this irresponsible reporting has cost me - attorneys ' fees and costs. ( 15 U.S.C. 1681o ). 
- punitive damages for the willful disregard of my rights. 

I appreciate your time and attention and look forward to a prompt resolution.
