This debt collector violated the FDCPA by engaging in abusive, deceptive, and unjust practices. They provided this account in violation of our agreement, and I did not affix my signature to it. Two parties are required to sign a legally binding contract ; I did not take any part in the signing process. Furthermore, in noting my dispute of the account, they failed to adhere to the correct procedure, which is a clear violation of 15 USC 1692e ( 8 ) and constitutes unjust business practices.

Issue: Incorrect information on your report — Public record information inaccurate
Company: EQUIFAX, INC.
State: UT

Complaint narrative:
I've dispute certain information present on my credit reports provided by XXXX and Equifax, in accordance with the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ), specifically under 15 U.S.C. 1681 ( e ). I request a thorough investigation into the discrepancies and the prompt removal of the disputed items. They still continue to report this on my credit report. This was closed on all three Credit agencies and then place back on my credit report without notification. 

Upon reviewing my credit reports obtained from XXXX and Equifax, dated XX/XX/2024 I have discovered that child support obligations have been inaccurately included in my credit history. As per 15 U.S.C. 1681 ( e ), child support obligations do not belong on my credit report, as they are not considered debts owed to creditors. 

I understand that consumer reporting agencies are required to maintain accurate and up-to-date information on consumer credit reports, and including non-credit related information such as child support obligations is a violation of federal law. 

Therefore, I am formally disputing the inclusion of child support obligations on my credit reports and request their immediate removal. I request that XXXX and Equifax conduct a thorough investigation into these matters as mandated by the FCRA and take the necessary steps to rectify this error. 

In accordance with the FCRA, I request that both XXXX and Equifax provide me with written notification of the results of the investigation and any actions taken as a result. Additionally, please provide me with an updated copy of my credit reports reflecting the corrections made after the investigation is complete. 

I trust that you will take the appropriate action to rectify this error and ensure the accuracy of my credit reports.
