Company: EQUIFAX, INC.
State: TX

Complaint narrative:
I pulled my credit report and noticed that a debt collection agency, XXXX XXXX XXXX, is showing on my credit report. I sent them a debt validation letter on XX/XX/year>. I did NOT send this first XXXX certified or with any tracking so I sent another one on XX/XX/year> certified mail so I could confirm they received it. I sent this to the address reported on my credit report and there was either an error with the tracking tool or they never would pick it up. The mailing system apparently sent this to their XXXX XXXX XXXX I called XXXX and they stated that the letter was received, but their tracking system had an error and was reporting wrong. I then decided after several days of no update on this system and no letter from XXXX and no deletion from Equifax that I would send XXXX final letter to XXXX and Equifax demanding they remove this. I sent the letter to XXXX XXXX XXXX with a tracking number on XX/XX/XXXX, which does confirm that it was picked up and they received it. Equifax also received the letter I sent them demanding that they delete this since they did not really investigate this. I also sent copies of the letters and tracking information to Equifax to show that I sent debt validation letters with no response. Equifax did a two-three day investigation each time I did a dispute and keep coming back this account is mine. XXXX and XXXX deleted this account because the collection agency could not prove it was mine. At this point, I am highly upset. I had an ex niece living with me at XXXX point. We both used my address and her name was exactly the same as mine, XXXX XXXX, at the time. Her new address is showing on my credit report. Several of our accounts have been mixed up. We both went to same XXXXXXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX  and they are always mixing up our accounts. I have divorced her uncle years ago and this is still happening. I have told them to remove these addresses etc and Equifax is just not complying. XXXX reported as of XX/XX/year> to Equifax that this account was mine and they " updated '' it. I have received nothing from them and Equifax literally took XXXX day on XXXX of my requests. I am so upset at this point and was advised to reach out to you.
