Company: EQUIFAX, INC.
State: MO

Complaint narrative:
I am updating a late payment that is currently being reported on my credit report as " open '' or unresolved. This entry is inaccurate and misleading. I have either already resolved the payment, or I was never late as claimed. The continued reporting of this item as open and delinquent is a violation of the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ), particularly 15 U.S.C. 1681e ( b ), which requires consumer reporting agencies to maintain maximum possible accuracy of the information they report.

This misreporting has negatively impacted my credit score and may hinder my ability to obtain credit or employment. I am requesting an immediate investigation into this matter, as well as a correction or deletion of the inaccurate late payment record if it can not be verified.

Complaint narrative:
XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX RE : Dispute of Alleged Debt Account # XXXX Account Status : Closed / In Collections Account Balance : {$650.00} Date Opened : XX/XX/year> To Whom It May Concern, Pursuant to the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act ( FDCPA ), 15 U.S. Code 1692g, and the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ), 15 U.S. Code 1681i, I am formally disputing the validity and accuracy of the above-referenced account appearing on my consumer credit report.

I am requesting that you immediately : Conduct a full investigation into this account, including a validation of the debt under FDCPA guidelines.

Provide documentation substantiating that this debt is valid, belongs to me, and is being reported accurately. This must include a copy of the original contract, a full payment history, and documentation of your legal authority to collect on this account.

Cease all collection activity until this debt has been validated, as required by 15 U.S.C. 1692g ( b ).

Additionally, I am disputing the reporting of this account to credit reporting agencies due to the following inaccuracies : The account is marked as Closed but simultaneously reflects a balance of {$650.00} and a past due amount of {$650.00}, which is contradictory. 

The account shows a Date Opened of XX/XX/year>, which is a future date and not factually possible, indicating reporting errors or data inaccuracies.

The account reflects a {$0.00} credit limit and {$0.00} available credit, yet shows a balance and past due amount, lacking coherent financial structure.

Due to these discrepancies and the absence of a legally sufficient debt validation, I am requesting that you remove this account from my credit report with all credit reporting agencies to prevent the continued reporting of inaccurate and unverifiable information.

Please consider this letter a formal dispute and request for validation under the law. Kindly respond in writing within the time allotted under the FDCPA and FCRA. Failure to comply may result in the filing of complaints with the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau ( CFPB ), the Federal Trade Commission ( FTC ), and/or legal counsel for further review.

I appreciate your prompt attention to this matter and look forward to your written response confirming deletion or full validation of the alleged debt.
