Complaint narrative:
On XX/XX/2022 I mailed a letter in regards to inaccurate and unknown items on my credit report. It has been over 30 days and I have yet to receive a response. I feel like my disputes are not being taken seriously, and I feel like I am being taken advantage of. I have researched and found that my disputes are to be investigated within 30 days. Because the investigation has surpassed the timeline required by federal law, the items in disputes must be deleted. If the items are not deleted immediately I will file for litigation for the stress caused. Additionally, my information was also impacted by the XXXX data breach and has most likely gotten into the hands of a malicious person.

Product: Debt collection — Other debt
Issue: Written notification about debt — Didn't receive enough information to verify debt
Company: EQUIFAX, INC.
State: FL

Complaint narrative:
To whom may be concerned, I am writing to request that the two collections reported on my credit report by [ XXXX XXXX XXXX ] be removed from my credit report. I believe these collections are invalid, as the debt collector did not properly validate the debt before reporting it to the credit bureaus. I have enclosed a copy of the certified mail receipt showing that I sent a debt validation letter to the debt collector on XX/XX/XXXX. And it was received on XX/XX/XXXX,. As required by the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act ( FDCPA ), the debt collector had 30 days to respond to my letter with validation of the debt. However, to date, I have not received any response or validation from the debt collector. The FDCPA requires that a debt collector must validate a debt before attempting to collect it. Specifically, 15 U.S.C. 1692g ( b ) states that [ w ] ithin five days after the initial communication with a consumer in connection with the collection of any debt, a debt collector shall, unless the following information is contained in the initial communication or the consumer has paid the debt, send the consumer a written notice containing the information necessary to validate the debt. The validation must include the amount of the debt, the name of the creditor, and continue writing the letter. Given the lack of validation and the debt collector 's failure to respond to my request, I believe that these collections should be removed from my credit report. I respectfully request that you investigate this matter in accordance with the FDCPA, and take appropriate action to have the collections removed. Additionally, Federal Trade Commission v. Check Investors , Inc., 502 F.3d 159 ( 3d Cir. 2007 ) establishes that a debt collector must comply with the 30-day validation requirement, and that failure to do so can result in a violation of the FDCPA. The court in that case held that a debt collectors failure to respond to a consumers request for validation within 30 days constituted a violation of the FDCPA. Thank you for your time and attention to this matter. Sincerely, XXXX XXXX
