Complaint narrative:
So after receiving my updated. XXXX, Equifax, XXXX, are stating their information is Verified and Accurate. So I'm confused by the letter I received in the mail saying the same thing on the CFPB complaint website. I don't see any account numbers nor did they upload the Verified information on the CFPB. This is a lie from all three agencies without showing any proof in this letter and on the CFPB website as well. I've made my complaint with the FTC with this fraudulent placement on my credit report with no account numbers. But these agencies confirmed it's accurate but how can you verify accounts with no numbers. So I called each company and was asked my date of birth and Social and was told no account was found and was asked do I have the account number and I said no! So as a consumer I'm exercising my right FCRA this XXXX! XXXX, XXXX, Equifax are committing fraudulent reporting and refuse to remove it! you can't report information on my credit report without an account number. Relevant Legislation : XXXX XXXX.
